of those Of the tomato. and the internal
structure of the fruit resembles that vege
table The Favor is quite peculiar and pro
uounccd anil At first not always liked. To
the taste the fruit is IA pleasant acid. The
crop usually ripens in the late summer, al
though some varieties bear fruit during the
entire year. All kinds are said to grow
from cuttings. The three following named
species have been quite well established in
Florida and to some extent in CALIFORNIA;:
Psidium guaya, known also as the COM
mon guava," apple guava" and pear
guava," is a native Of the West Indies and
very tender. Z. cattleyanun, or straw
berry guava,' is n native of Brazil and a
much more hardy species. Z. lucidum. or
M .xican guava," in Florida is improperly
called yellow cattly guava" The straw
berry guayo illustrated in the cut is small
and in color Il duh red, with numerous
brown dots on the slightly roughened and
not glossy surface. The flavor is pleasant,
though decidedly acid, somewhat resem-
bling the strawberry.
Tho guava Jelly, which is known the
world over as one of the most delicious of
all conserves, is made chiefly from the apple
or pear guava However, jelly Of excellent
quality can be made from any species Of
this genus. The fruit il also eaten fresh
with sugar and cream, or preserved and
canned as are other fruits.

Cable 10 the Sandwich Islands.

II 10 now believed that a cable can be laid
from Southern California to Hawaii being
in length but a few hundred miles more
than the original Atlantic cable from Va
lentia bay to Hearts Content. The chsrac-
ter and interests Of the dominant p,puls-
ton Of the Sandwich islands. and the i'm
poftance Of these Islands to the United
States have been forciby brought to the
attention Of the people Of this government
within the past few months. Al this time
especially the report of the results Of the
surveys and soundiugs made by the Thetis
and Alhatross along, what was believed
to Re, feasible lines for laying a cable. will
be read with great deal of interest. While
in some parts of the Pacific the bottom is
greatly broken BY peaks and valleys this
report demonstrates that n cable may be
laid under favorable conditions. One of
the favorable conditions is the gray ooze
fosnd In many places At the bottom of the
Pacific ocean which will serve as rrotcc-
ton for the cable.
The voyage Of the Thesis was from Point
Conception. west of Santa Bsrbsrs,to Hilo.
No fewer than 3ai soundings were taken,

To the Editors of the Esaaebse JourRal:
In your issue of May 2jth, notice q
statement from an 'Augastxn" who visited
Hawaii. Among other things written he
says American missionaries and American
whaIemen, may be thanked for all the good
that Is to be found, and the American
vhaiemen and American missionaries may
be blamed for ali the bad that is to be found
among this susceptible people" Isisavety

menis, hut one fact ia of more value than a
thousand assertions that cannot be proved
Among the first missionaries who visited

grandparents Of Mr.. l.. A. Thnrston. now
vich islands. They left this country in the
October of 1919, and arrived at the islands
the next spring. The missionaries On
reaching the islands. found that the native.
had thrown away their idols, and were all
ready to receive the gospel. That this tit
tie band Of devoted laborers and others who
continued the work, are to be credited with
all the good To be found among them, is
clear to all who are conyersant with the
history of this subject, but TO class them in
NNh tue wDaicnttb, IS eluahF responsibf
for all the bad to be found among them, Is
rank injustice, being entirely out of har-
mony with the fact. in the case. Also, to
put the whalemen on an equal footing with
this devoted company, rs being just as
worthy of thanks, for the good done, is
another unjust thing. If the writer Of the
article referred to would read up the his
tory of the missionary work done there, and
their trying experience, he would find that
among the whalemen, were to be found
the creates, hindrance to their work; that
rum and Righteousness were the influences
brought to bear upon this susceptible"
people by this class to undo the work of
those self-sacrifcing laborers. of course,
it would be unjust to accuse all the whale
men of being engaged in this wicked work,
and 1t is to be hoped that there were some
who might be help instead of hindrance
during their stay at the islands.
The names of some of the captains of
certain whaleships, that stopped at these
islands were published, thus showing up
publicly, their wicked work. More might
be said upon this subject but this will SUI

OF the influence of the recent earthquakes
in northern Italy, NJ. Goiran has observed
that they were apparently followed by a
speeIier termination of seeds, a more rapid
growth Of the young plants, more luxu-
RANT vegetation in the pastures, tillable
lands, vineyards and copses and more
distinct grecnness Of foliage. He ascribes
these results not to the earthquakes direct
ly. but to the augmented production Of car
bonic acid, more complete distribution Of
fertilizing matters in the soil which suffered
a sort of trituration from them and to an
increased electrical development. Under
some conditions earthquakes seemed to
have an unfavorable influence on vegeta-
ton, but this. NJ. Goiran believes, was the
result Of long droughts that accompanied
them.
