Tho entonologists have detected and
duly noted q singular development of
the sense of taste in insects of the but.
terAy family The Larvae of butterflies
and moths all eat foods which are not
adapted to the wants and tastes of the
perfect insect, and which, in some in
stances, is positively obnoxious to the
fully developed creature, Take, for an
instance. the horrid "hog nosed cater
pillar" which lives ON the leaves Of
the prickly ash and also makes life bur-
densome to tho orange grower. Its par
ents are Mr.. and Mrs. Papilio Cres.
phontes of the order Lepidoptera, fam.
lily PapilionidR, and are tho largest and
most beautiful butterflies found in the
latitude of Missouri. The full grown
insect of this species will not touch the
leaves of either of the trees mentioned
above. but ON them it deposits eggs, and
when these hatch the substance of the
leaves furnish the proper food for the
Larvae, Are we to infer from this Curl
Gus habit that the female butterfly of
this species remembers her early exist
ence, and from that argues that prickly
ash and orange leaves are tho proper
food for her young, or are we to say
that "instinct" guides her to a proper
selection of food for her progeny? Is 1t
not fact that we attribute things TO
"instinct" because we are ignorant
that is to say, because We do not know
where instinct leaves off and reason
begins?-St Louis Republic.

THE STORMS ARE HERE.
ARE ALL THE WAY FROM THE
CALIFORNIA COAST.


The storm predicted by the
weather prophets on the Coast as
likely to visit the Hawaiian Islands
during the month of May is at
hand.
Heavy rains fell up Nuuanu and
Manoa valleys, and beyond the
Pail this morning. There was
heavy thunder at S a. m. At Lua-
kaha 3 inches Of rain has fallen in
"a hours. Nuuauu stream had a
freshet today. Eva has had fire.
quent showers during the past
three days. Prof. Lyons predicts
showers for a day or two.
Very heavy rain showers fell at
Waimanalo, the other side Of the
island all day yesterday. The
downpour was the heaviest that
had visited that part of the island
since November of last year. The
crops needed rain badly and Man
ager Chalmers was much pleased
individual yesterday.
About $50 o'clock this morning
heavy thunder and lightning were
prevalent. The plantation will
finish taking off this years crop in
about a month.
Everything has been very dry in
the direction of Eva for some
weeks.

Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
Dose In the Dark.
A good citizen in the northwestern
section of the city has been through an
exciting experience. Being dyspeptic,
the gentleman visited his physician A
prescription was written for him which
the druggist filled. The result was q
small box Of capsules, which he took
homo and placed upon the sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc.
tons to take two every hour in the even
ing after eating until bedtime. These
were obeyed implicitly.
1t was dark in tho dining room, and
the gentleman went for his medicine
the first evening without a precaution
of a lamp and administered to himself
three doses of two capsules each before
retiring. He was awakened some hours
1fterward by q strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be mammoth penuchle board
on which million little objects were
dancing.
He could distinguish kicks and jumps
SO wildly that it was in vain for his
wife to try to convince him that he was
dreaming. She suggested the Doctor
and the servant was dispatched in hot
haste. Before he arrived the sick man
asked for more of the capsules, which
were brought to his bedside When the
cover was removed, there were Mexican
beans instead of capsules, the kernels
bouncing as merrily rs spring lambs,
The box of capsules had been misplaced
accidentally by the young son and heir
and the beans put in its place. The doc
tor does not say what kind of medicine
he finds useful in such cases, Wash

The 10 men who made the trip were

WithiWtwo months three of them have
died suddenly. The first of the 3 to 20
was Michael North, wholesale cigar

and a man Of strong constitution. About
two weeks later the Sprudels were
shocked to learn Of the sudden death Of

This preparation does just
what it claims 40 DO and when you
read the description you will
know all about it, that is all YOU
can know by reading, you must
try 1t to be able to understand its
simplicity and effectiveness.

WHAT Is IT: 1t is a simple,
harmless preparation, free from
taste, smell and color, that has
the properties OF stopping and
preventing fermentation in all
vegetable and animal foods.
WHAT IT DOES: Its especially
useful tor preserving fruits of all
kinds without cooking, retaining
their natural fresh appearance
and taste.
It's USE does away with labor,
and makes what has been a hot,
disagreeable task, a delight and
a pleasure. 1t substitutes for the
Summer heat OF the kitchen the
cool shade OF the lawn or piazza.
ITS RESULTS are never doubt
tul when used according to
directions, and Plum Puddings,
Peach and Berry Pies can be
had in Winter as well as in
Summer.
IT'S USE is profitable and eco
nomical, for it saves one-half of
the sugar, saves the jars broken
by heat, saves the fruit cooked
away, and saves the time and
labor lost by the old methods.
For CIDER it is unsurpassed

Composed.

Hawaiian Airs-At the China-A March
Composed.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather a large number of people
found their way to Emma Square
last evening to listen to the band
concert, and it was an appreciative
audience, judging from the liberal
applause and close attention paid
to the music. A new departure,
the playing of number Of old Ha-
waiian songs by Cornetist Kreuter,
in a very pleasing and expressive
manner, with band accompaniment,
made quite a hit and called forth
two or three enthusiastic encores,
which the band responded to good
naturedly. The concert was short
and sweet, for slight sprinkling
gave warning of coming shower,
and Hawaii Ponoi" was played at
Q o'clock. Several strangers were
present TO hear the concert and
seemed to enjoy the music very
much.
The band scored quite hit at
the departure Of the China at 8
o'clock last evening; also scored
$II as a complimentary and volun-
tary contribution from the passen-
gers, which made the boys smile as
visions of beer, soda water, ETC.,
came before their eyes when Prot.
Berger walked down the gang
plank with the eleven large dollars
in his hand. The boys had just
played the usual goodbye songs,
but condescended to manipulate
"Ta-ra-ra-b boom de-aye" i'll addi-
ton, as token of appreciation for
the aforesaid eleven dollars by the
passengers. After applause and
hearty bravo" the band departed.
Mr.. Brandt, member of the
band, and formerly a member Of
the Tivoli Opera House orchestra,
San Francisco, has just written an
excellent new march, Belle of
Honolulu, which promises to
make a hit. 1t will be played
shortly.

IT WILL LOOK TIL L SAME
EXTERIOR OF IHE MUSIC HALL TO
M REPRODUCED.


The plan Of the new opera house
is in course of preparation. No
changes are contemplated in the
structure itself. The back wall will
be rebuilt and the old outer lines
are followed. A number of i'm
provements are planned for the
interior of the house. The first of
these will appear at the entrance
where will be two doors, one on
either side, in place of one as form
erly. Two aisles extend from the
doors down to the stage, inclining
TO the center as they run bringing
them near together at the end.
The parquet will have eight rows
of chairs in place of six as before.
In the rear of the parquet, between
the two aisles, two boxes will be
pu in their tops falling just below
TIL irst row of seats in the dress
Gil lie. i On either side OF the par
quot will DE a Uoor leading out.
TIL dress circle will extend up to
the entrance.
The boxes on esch side Of the
Sta ge will be reconstructed, but
upon a different plan. The fronts
viii be sCmi-Circular in place Of
straight as before. TheySwill also
be placed lower so as not to breal,
the view from the corner seats OF
the dress circle.
The stage will be the same size
as before, but will be improved in
various ways.
Changes will also be made in the
arrangement of the entrance. On
either side, ust in the door, lights
of stairs will lead to the gallery.
The corner formerly occupied by a
Chinese vender Of light refresh
ments will be taken up
by small ticket office for the
benefit of persons wishing to
enter the door on the left. Another
ticket office will occupy the OPP.
posite corner where tickets for the
right side of the house may be pur-
chased. This ticket arrangement
will do away with the necessity of
crowding at the box office.

TESTING THE NEW PUMP.
TRIAL TwEN1Y-FoUR HOUR RUS
SOW AT AN END.


The duty test Of the new Blake
pumping plant began Monday
afternoon and will terminate at
$50 o'clock this p. III. Time, "a
hours, during which the machinery
is not stopped a minute. Mr..
Hedemann has personally conduct
ed the test. Andrew Brown and
other representatives of the Gov
eminent have been present. The
requirements of this test are that
the pump shall run twenty-four
hours under an even pressure Of 10
ponds and discharge 100, 600
gallons per hour.
AS a matter OF fact these figures
have been improved on and the
working qualities of the plant have
exceeded all expectations. Owing
to the fact that the city was con-
stantly drawing from the supply,
which has to be punt ed directly
into the mains, the pressure has
varied between 90 and so pounds
to the square inch. The average
of TO has been kept up. An even
pressure cannot be reached without
the use of a reservoir. During the
trial the big wheel of the pump has
averaged ~ revolutions to the min
ute and 10000 gallons Of water
have been discharged into the
mains, or $1,000 gallons more than
the contract called for on the hour.
The force of water in the city
mains has been very strong. Pipes
in numbers Of houses bursted last
night. Street taps also suffered.
Two breaks occurred OIL King
street. Another pipe in front of
the Police Station bursted. Several
hvdrants were left running during
the morning while the pressure
was strongest, The force from the
valley reservoirs is cut off from the
city pipes altogether. This water
goes to Punchbowl and points
above School street.

Latest Painting.
ID. Howard Hitchcock has
recently finished and placed on
public exhibition fine oil paint
ing of Makapuu pass. This picture
has value aside from its merits as
a clever production of the artists
brush,
1t has a historical value as being
a realistic representation of a point
of special interest during the recent
troubles.
The Fort" which was then
built, is prominent object in the
picture. Grouped about it in yari-
Gus attitudes are members of the
Citizens Guard who were stationed
at the pass to prevent the escape
thence of the insurgents. Rabbit
Island" shows through the gap.
This is likewise an object of inter
est historically, being the spot
wherein were landed a portion o.
the rebel arms.
The effect of the picture is vigor

Ono of Pearl City's strong Men on the

Carl Willing, the never-sleep OF
the region about Pearl City, was in
town Monday afternoon. Though
used up he is not dead man by a
long shot. He is as alive as Con
Sterling's new horse" Willing
had a bad accident. For long
time he laid on his back, and did
not care a cent whether Pearl City
squad, Citizens Guard, Division 2,
adopted the regulations or not.
Then he got better. His sight re-
turned and he came to town. The
only marks of the recent accident
are black powder spots on his face.
But, still, and however, Carl is al
ways Willing.

Doing work with the Dredger In the
Red Buoy Section.
The red can buoy in the harbor
between the o. R. & l.. Cos.
wharf and the o. S. S. Cos land
ing has been removed temporarily
in order to allow the dredger to
deepen the harbor in that locality.
Three anchors held the buoy down
and it was with no little difficulty
they were dislodged. The present
depth Of the harbor at this point is
sixteen feet. Captain Paul Smith
of the dredger has been instructed
to deepen it to twenty-four feet.
After completing this work, the
dredger will continue towards
Brewers wharf. During the time
the dredger has been working near
the Railway wharf considerable
rope and hawsers have been
brought up.

Chinese Crew In Training For the
Regatta.
Two Chinese fishing junks had
race in the harbor late Monday.
They started from near where Bill
Williams takes his supper and
stopped at Brewers wharf. China
men do not paddle boat like other
folks. They stand up, dip the oar,
pull back and then sit down until
their time comes again. Sometimes
an oarsman catches a crab," when
the boat has to stop until he can be
fished up out Of the bay. So it
was yesterday. When near Brew
er's wharf one of the oarsmen drew
his paddle out, missed the bay and
fell overload. By clinging to his
oar he saved himself from drown
ing until he could be drawn up.
