CALIFORNIA ORANGES NIPPED
 BY FROST.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 22.-The or ange and lemon crops of southern Cal ifornia have been injured by frost dur ing a succession of cold nights. The fact that oranges do not show the ef- feet of the frost for from two weeks to a month after the cold weather, the ex- tent of the damage even to the growers of the fruit is very uncertain.

Discussion Of Bills IN the House.

The house spent the day Wednesday
in discussing bills and passing them to
the third reading, and in consequence
little work of importance was done.
When Smiths compulsory pilotage
bill came up in the house, Il. Il. Baker
moved its indefinite postponement, and
the motion, after argument for and
against the measure, prevailed.
Libbey presented petition, signed
by large majority of the owners of
ships entering Puget sound, in which
they opposed the passage Of the bill,
and this petition settled the fate of the
measure.
The following house bills passed:
BY Hansen, exempting the proceeds of
acci1 mt insurance from the debts of
deceased persons; Geraghty, annulling
the requirement of town or city char
ters that certain office-holders must be
freeholders; Wilkeson, providing for
the dissolution of municipal corpora

A FREAK AMONG FLOWERS.
Venus' Fly Trap and Its Almost
Human Action.

human Action.
Now and again, in exploring Amerl-
can woods and swamps, botanists have
come across floral curiosities that al
most bridge over the great gulf that
divides the animal and vegetable king
doms, says the Designer. One Of these,
to be met with nowhere in the world
save in North Carolina, is scientifical-
~ classified as dionoea muscipula, but
Is colloquially known as Venus fly
trap"
In appearance the extraordinary
plant Is prettily but unassumingly the
leafiess flower stem, running from six
to eight Inches in height and sur
mounted by a cluster Of five petalled
blossoms, rising erect like a rosette-
like bed Of leaves. 1t is in the edge Of
the leaves that the death dealing ap-
paratus Is set-for this modest little
plant, which Is so delicate that 1t dies
Of the slightest injury to root or stem,
sustains its life by feeding upon the
unwary insects that chance to alight
upon its leaves enticing them to their
destruction by exuding from the edges
Of its fatal traps viscous fluid, some
what resembling honey.
The traps consist Of two soft, vel
vety leaves, fringed with delicate bris-
ties and hinged together on one side.
The unsuspecting fly, lured by the
honey, alights on these bristles in an
ticipaton Of feast, but Mt the first
touch Of its feet the hinges close, the
two leaves come together, the bristles
interlock, and the hapless insect is i'm
prisoned in cell from which escape
Is impossible.
Under the stimulus of the victims
struggles the tiny glands with which
the inner walls of the trap are furnish
ed pour forth a secretion which OAR
win analysed as a vegetable gastric
Juice, resembling that which insures
digestion in animal life. Under the in
fiuence of this curious fluid, the fly is
actually digested alive, and it's juices
being extracted the trap doors are re-
opened and the skeleton Is flung out.
The scientists declare that the plant
unquestionably lives upon the juices
Of its victims, but one or two expert
florists take exception to this state
ment. 1t is worthy of note that, al
though the habit of the plant Is car
nivorous, experiments have proved
that it lives longer and thrives better
when so inclosed that no insects can
reach tia superabundance of it's ia
vorite diet apparently rendering it
even more delicate than it is by ma
ture. The set Of muscles controlling
it's leaves are said to resemble those
of the human eyelids.-New York Her.

An Appraisement Law.

The senate did not meet until 1890
Z. M. Monday, but succeeded in pass
ing few bills, killing one and prepar-
ing three for immediate action. Among
the bills passed is an act for an APP
praisement law to regulate the sale of
property under execution and decree.
Three bills, by Lesh, exempting 81 900
of personal property from execution and
attachment; creating Il board of forest
commissioners, and an act for the sup
preston and prevention of forest fires,
passed. Runners bill, requiring rail
roads to fence their tracks, failed to
pass.
Warburton's bill, requiring insurance
companies, in case of loss, to pay the
full amount of the policy, was debated
and amended, and will come up for ac-
ton Tuesday.
An important bill to soldiers and
crossed. 1t compels unmarried inmates
of soldiers homes to turn rs per cent
OF their pension money into the institu-
ton, and 25 per cent is placed in the
state treasury, to be refunded when the
inmate is discharged from the home.
1t also allows the board of trustees to
discharge inmates for certain offenses.
The following senate bills passed the
senate:
By Cole-Regulating the sale of prop
erty under execution and DEGREES, and
providing an appraisement law.
BY Lesh-EXempting 1000 of per-
sonal property from execution and de-

The senate bill by the judiciary COM
mittee, allowing coroner to serve
writs without extra bond, when the
sheriff is incapacitated, passed.
Parker's house bill, to prohibit capt.
tai punishment, which was tabled,
brought out vigorous debate in the
senate Wednesday. Dorr moved it's
indefinite postponement. but Range
objected, saying this was progressive
legislation. Dorr said if the bill passed
it would liberate all murderers under
sentence of death and turn them loose
upon our streets. Van Patton was
afraid legislation Of this character
would result in return to lynch law.
He was not afraid of capital punish
ment, but he was afraid Of enacting
suddenly such important legislation.
On motion of Wilson the bill was
sent to the table.
The senate bill by the committee on
education, allowing farmers, producers
and others to peddle their products in
cities without paying "a license to the
city, passed.
Grow offered memorial urging con-
gress to take proper steps looking to the
restoration of public lands held by
aliens under the Northern Pacific land
grant, and asking for committee Of
five to act with the attorneys general to
investigate the title of the railway COM
pany to lands held in this state.
The bill abolishing the state normal
schools at Cheney and at Whatcom was
recommended for passage by the educa-
tional committee.
House bills recommended favorably
by the committee are: Making eight
hours days labor for railway en-
ployes; for the better protection Of rail-
way switches; for the protection of per-
sons working in coal mines; for the
establishment of board of pardons.
House bills returned without recon-
mendation by the committee are: An
eight-hour day in city, county and state
work; travel over docks and wharves;

The house Tuesday, by vote of 50
ayes to II noes, passed the freight-rate
reduction bill, which was under con-
sideration when adjournment was taken
for Sunday and Monday The bill
was then transmitted Immediately to
the senate.
AS passed the bill provides for maxi
mum rates on grain and other farm
products of $3.50 ton for 800 miles,
and similar reductions for shorter hauls,
as we'll as horizontal cut on mcr-
chandise, ETC., in carload lots, of 5 per
cent from the rates in effect on the
Northern Pacific railway January 2,
1897.
Hooper's passenger-rate bill was also
taken up, and, after numerous amend
ments, was ordered engrossed and passed
to third reading. A motion to suspend
the rules and place the bill on it's final
passage was lost, as was also a motion
to make it a special order for the next
day. In consequence, it will take its
regular place at the foot of the calendar.
The bill as ordered engrossed, fixes
passenger fares at 3 cents a mile, and
allows $50 pounds of baggage; makes a
half-fare rate for children between 6
and II years, with seventy-tive pounds
of baggage; compels companies to sell
good for two years, and that the pur-
chaser or any member of his family be
entitled to use the same.
