Judge Woodward Rebukes justices.

The grand jury for the April term Of
court met on Monday afternoon. Judge
Woodward said the court was over
crowded with criminal business, which
is constantly increasing, and asked that
all trivial and petty cases be ignored
He claimed that the alderman and
justices should settle such cases them
selves, but they preferred to turn them
all over to court, as it was more profit
able to them. The judge said that a
particular case had been continued
nineteen times and that when it was
finally settled the costs against the
county amounted TO nearly 81. 900.

The naturalistS have not as vet been
able to answer the burning question:
Can bees hear?" but their researches
along that line have resulted in many
queer discoveries. Simply because IA
bee has no ears on the sides of his head
it is no sign whatever that he is wholly
without some sort of an auditory nerve.
This last assertion is proved by the
fact that grasshOppers, cricLets. To-
Gusts and flies all have their ears stu
ated in queer places-under the wings.
on the middle of the body and even on
the sides of their legs. The common
house fly does his hearing by means Of
some little rows of corpuscles, which
are situated on the knobbed threads
which occupy the place which are taken
up by the hind wings of other species
% insects. The garden slug or shell
less snail has his organs of hearing
situated on each side of his neck, and
the common grasshopper has them on
each of his broad. fiat thighs In some
of the smaller insects they are at the
bases of the wings, and in others on
the bottom of the feet,-St, Louis Re-
