Rose Bamboo, pinkish yellow.
Yellow Caledonia, pale yellow.
Elephant, purple with pale green
stripes.
These four canes do very well with US,
more especially the first mentioned.
The canes labelled Pupuha, Manulele.
Uwala, Ohia, Akilolo, HOnuaula and
Papaa are indigenous TO these Islands.
These canes, on lands situated at any
altitude between 1900 and 1900 feet,
are, from the fact of their being ex-
eeedingly hardy, the fayOrite varieties
OF our plantations for such lands.
The two packages labelled respective
", KaniO and Ainakea, came origin
ally from Mauritius, where they are
a. the light and dark Bourbon canes.
These two canes yield well on our high
lands. Lahaina cane, No. II, was
brought here by Capt. Pardon Ed
wards, from the MarqueSas Islands:
and was first planted at Lahaina,
whence its name. This cane is prefer
able TO all others on lands near the sea
level TO an altitude OF 1900 feet. Its
introduction into this Kingdom has
increased the yield of sugar, at least 80
Per cent. In consequence Of its heavy
stOoling, this cane should be planted
not less than six feet between the
hills kOkea, No. Is. does fairly well
on side hills and dry lands, but Is not
a fayorite

FEAR amounting almost to panic is
felt regarding the danger Of electric
light wires in the Eastern States.
The installations get worn off by the
weather and abrasion during storms.
or the wires get broken by accident
when II d telephone wire touches the
electric light strands any person
using 3 telephone Is in danger OF be
ing killed. Men aud horses have
been struck dead in the streets from
coming in contact with broken wires
dangling down to the streets. AL
electric light wires in New York have
IN consequences been ordered put
under ground. The Edison Company
and some others have already placed
their wires under ground. but some Of
the other companies were disposed to
resist the decree. This Is matter
that the Hawaiian Government Will
need TO consider in connection with
the introduction Of the electric light
in Honolulu.
