A FIGHT AMONG THE JUSTICES.
Justice of the Peace Barthol0-
new and His Office.
Ex-Justice Stanton's Attempt to
Gust Him.
Judge Clark OverruIes q Demurrer in
the Quo warranto Proceedings,
but Intimatcs the 5upsrvis ors'
Action Was Correct.

Judge CLARK yesterday overruleda de-
murrer in the proceedings brought by
ex-Justice L. Stanton to test the validity
Of Justice Bartholomew's claim to the
Office to which he was elected at the
last general election.
1t will be remembered that last year
the board Of supervisors consolidated
Los Angeles township and Los Angeles
city township. This action was com
batted by Justice King, who claimed
that they had exceeded their powers.
The present case was begun by Justice
Stanton after his term had expired in
January OF the present year, who
claimed the boards action was Illegal,
and that consequently Justice Bsrtholo
NEW was not legally elected He claims
that he is entitled to the Office. The
proceedings are quo warranto in their
nature.
Judge CLARK, in brief opinion in the
case. exercised himself very de cidedly
about the validity of the supervisors &C.
tion, although he overrules the demur-
rer. In brief opinion he says:
II am OF opinion that the action OF
the board OF supervisors changing the
boundaries OF Los Angeles township and
Los Angeles city township, and desig
mating the territory and township so
created Los Angeles township thereby
abolishing Los Angeles city township,
was within the scope of the powers con-
ferred upon it by subdivision 2, section
25 of the county government act ESQ
called) of 1891, which reads: THE
boards of supervisors in their respective
counties have jurisdiction and power
under such limitations and restrictions
as are prescribed by law. 2. To
divide the counties into town
ships, election, school, road, su-
pervisor, sanitary and other dis
tricts required by law, change the
same and create others as convenience
requires l also agree with counsel
that the court will take judicial notice
OF the acts of the beard OF supervisors
changing and establishing the political
subdivisions OF the county. But is it
not possible that counsel has confused
rule of evidence which, when the issues
of fact are made and are on trial, re-
quires the court to take judicial notice
OF certain facts and dspenses with proof
thereof with rule of pleading. de-
murrer presents only issues Of law 1t
admits all of the allegations of the plead
ings demurred to be true, and it is at
least doubtful If the court should take
judicial notice OF facts which show the
allegations of the complaint to be un-
true, and thereupon sustain the demur
rer. ruling upen a demurrer is a
judgment upon the facts as alleged. not
upon the iscts as they exist, At all
events think it a better and eafer prac-
lice to raise the issues OF faot:by answer,
he demurrer is overruled."

Securing the Honey From Bees.

The labor of honey raising has been
materially lessened for the bees by mod
ern improvements, and they seem pro-
portionately grateful. The bees no
longer make their own cells, which are
produced by machinery out of wax.
These artificial cells are placed in the
hive, and the bees seem to be glad to get
rid of the labor Of making them. I'M
mediately they get to honey making.
This business they conduct alone. When
the cells are full, the hive must be
watched from without, lest the bees be-
gin to seal them up, which they do in
order to lay up their winters food.
To guard against this, additional cells
are put on top Of the hive called supers
In these the bees deposit their extra
store, and this is reserved for their win
ter outfit. When the bees begin to seal
the cells, the box is removed, a small ma
chine is put inside which is set vibrating.
and this empties the cells of their honey,
which is drawn off, and the cells having
been drained are put back to be reflled.

souirt Blooa Ont ofrbe,- E..

It has been said that horned toads,
when teased, sometimes squirt blood out
Of their eyes. This has been proved by
Mr.. 0. P. Hay, who, to facilitate the
shedding of the skin, tossed one into the
the water, when con the side of the
basin there suddenly appeared number
of spots Of red fluid which resembled
blood" This was microscopically proved
to be blood. A day or two afterward Mr..
Hay was holding the lizard between h4s
thumb and middle finger and stroking
its horns with his fore finger. All at
once q quantity of blood was thrown out
against his fingers and portion of it
ran down on the animals neck, and this
blood came directly out of the right eve.
This has been noticed by others, and
Mr.. Hay states that more than 90 years
ago Mr.. A. R. Wallace published a let
ter from correspondent in California
who described this creature as squirting
from one of its eyes ''a jet of bright red
liquid very much like blood. New

Since Samarcand has been q portion of

is called Khodia-Daniar. This tomb, ac-
cording to tho Mussulman legends, is the

They do not, however, have sufficient
strength to use up the superfuous mat

JUSTICE COURTS.

Yesterday.


Yesterday.
Mccarthy was in his old seat
lock yesterday in Justice Austin q
oom, this time on charge Of bat
James ia an unfortunate young
in his own opinion. Last Satur-
ne was acquitted in the superior
irt of charge of burglary, having
st been released from the city Jail,
ghere he had been in durance vile for
disturbi ng the peace.
When Justice Austin called upon him
yesterday to plead to the. accusation OF
battery, James arose and with a weary
expression on his good-looking features,
intimated that he was quite willing to
plead to any number of charges, but
that he would like to remark to the
court that he had already been tried and
convicted of the charge of battery, and
had suffered suitable length Of confine-
ment.
James was truthful for once and the
case was promptly dismissed.
J. Armentrout, one OF the miserable
objects who liveo on the earnings of fallen
women, was on trial before Justice Aus
tin yesterday on q charge of vsgrancy.
He was found guilty and given q
" floater."
The case against Matte Pierce, col
ored woman, charged with robbing A.
Mcdonald of $40. WAS dismissed by JUS
tice Austin yesterday, the complaining
witness not putting in an appearance.

To Thread a Hair Through a walnut.

To pass a, hair through walnut with
out boring a hole seems an impossibility,
but the feat has often been done. The
hull of the walnut, when examined with
a strong glass, is seen to have innumer-
able small openings, some of which lead
entirely through thenut. The trick con-
sists in using very fine hair and an in
finite amount of patience. Pass the hair
into one of these minute crevices and
urge it gently along. Sometimes it will
appear on theother side at the first trial,
but if it comes out at the hundred and
6rst you viii be very lucky. Louis
