LEGIONS OF SCALES.
Half the Orange Orchards of the
State i'm Danger.

Several weeks ago 100000 orange trees
from the Society Islands were landed
at San Pedro, the port of LosiAngeles. con-
signed to wealthy orchardist. Upon be-
ing examined, it was found that the plants
were literally alive with scales. The State
Horticultural Bureau sent experienced ento-
biologists to inspect the trees and if posi-
BILE destroy the pests.
The insect-hunters found that there were
no less than seven different kinds of scales
ON the trees, and every variety was strange
to the State. A bountiful insecticide was
applied to the trees, and at the end Of two
weeks two varieties of the infesting scale
were dead. A stronger application was
made, and at the end OF the next two weeks
another variety OF the undesirable insect
had succumbed.
But nothing was found that could ami
hilate the remaining four varieties. They
thrived upon deadly gases and were cheer
full and contented on a diet of burning acid.
The entomOlOgStS decided that If the in
fected trees were planted one-half the
orange orchards in the State would be de-
strOyed within five years.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the Attorney General, who yesterday
brought suit on behalf of the State in the
Los Angeles Superior Court to have the
trees condemned as a public nuisance.

A YEXATIOUS NUISANCE.
The Gas in One Portion of the City Hal
Is Very Bad.

The Gas in One Portion of the City Hall
Is Very Bad.
That portion of the City Hall in which
the Public Library is situated is subjected
nightly to one of the most vexatious
nuisances that can be imagined. Both the
Public Library and the Law Library are de-
pendent upon gas for illumination, and it is
highly important, of course, that the light
should be clear, strong and steady. 1t has,
in fact, none Of these virtues.
There is evidently some defect in the
plumbing, or else the pipes are filed with
water, for the light is not only wretchedlv
bad but it pulsates about every other sec
ond, first glowing in full strength, then re-
ducng TO less than half its natural brill
lance. Inc patrons of the libraries. par
tlculRrly those with poor sight or OF nervous
temperament, are annoyed almost beyond
endurance, and many have been obliged to
shorten their visits or withdraw altogether.
1t Is III these libraries that the nuisance is
mostly experienced, but wherever it is neces-
sary 10 use gas in that portion OF the build
Ing the annoyance is more or less pro-
nounced. The Trustees of the library have
repeatedly been on the point of asking the
Supervisors TO have the defect remedied,
but have never quite reached the moving
point.
They are hoping for the introduction of
electric light and have been promised such
by the City Hall Commissioners as soon as
the necessary plant and machinery can be
put IN place. The work on that department
IS now going ahead as fast as the Commits
siOner3 can push it,

A YOUNG SUICIDE.
Sufferings From Asthma Drove
Him to the Act.

Another suicide was added yesterday to
the long list which makes up the Morgue
records for the months of July and August.
This time it was a seventeen-year-o boy
named William Schmidt. who killed himself
in the back room of butcher-shop, at 2503
Howard street, where he was employed.
The suicide was nephew of Henry Me
bur, steward of the German Hospital.
ii. F. Schmidt, a brother. and proprietor of
the shop where the unfortunate youth took
his life, stated when questioned about the
case that his brother had for years been
su tfering from asthma, and that lately the
attlicti0n assumed such a terrible hold on
him that he was unable to sleep. William
had often told him that he could not stand
it much longer.
Young Schmidt slept in the rear of the
shop, and yesterday morning he arose as
usual. About IL 80 o'clock his brother
heard plStOl-shot, and on rushing to the
back of the shop found the youth on the
floor with pistol still smoking by his side.
The deceased came from Germany about

A Supposed Suicide Wants the Rewar

A Supposed Suicide Wants the Reward
for Finding Himself
The Morgue officials were startled yester-
day morning by having man who was sup
posed to be dead walk into their midst and
announce that he was still among the living.
On Monday morning vest and coat con-
tanning papers which showed that they
belonged to James Dunn, discharged
soldier, were found at Section 8 of the sea-
wall. and 1t was at once supposed that the
owner had committed suicide.
The body of an unknown man was found
in the neighborhood later on and it was sup
posed to DO that of Dunn. Coroner Gar
wood was therefore much surprised yester-
day morning to see Dunn walk into his
office and demand $40 for finding himself.
Dunn stated in explanation that while
drunk he had taken off his coat and vest
and walked on to find place to sleep. When
he awoke he missed his coat and vest and
did not know where they were until he
read OF his death and suicide in the papers.
