MORE BRIGHT LIGHTS.
A Box Of japanese Fire Flies Ar
rives by the S. s. DOric.
Goro Martha Brings "a Number From
Toxic and Presents Them to
the Japanese Consul.

When the Count Motsu party arriv-
ed by the o. & o. s. s. Doric on SUN
day, July 5th, they brought with them
a box of fire-fiies-unpromisin looking
insects in the daytime, but most beau
tiful at night when they fit in and
among the bushes and shrubs emitting
soft yellow light and adding charm to
the darkness of the night.
Mr.. Martha, former secretary of the
Japanese legation in this city, who ac-
companied Count Motsu, brought
about two hundred of the insects from
Toxic where there are millions OF
them 1t was his intention to allow
them to go free and spread all over the
islands, knowing of course from their
habits that they would be of no harm
but rather, that they would prove be-
neficial.
Unfortunately the firefies were not
put on ice SO as to keep them in
dormant state until arrival here, but
they were left on deck where many of
them died and dried up. When the
Doric arrived in Honolulu there we're
but fifty or sixty left.
Mr.. Martha took the remaining in
sects up to the japanese legation and
made a present of them to Consul Shi-
mamura who turned them loose in his
yard on Monday. BY this time they
have probably spread about over quite
a large space so that people returning
home late at night need not attribute
the sudden apparition of a ball of fire
before their eyes to some supernatural
cause. 1t will only be harmless fire
fly.
Something of the habits of the in
teresting insect was learned from Pro-
fessor Koebele last night.
1t is entirely harmless and, in fact,
is really beneficial. It's larvae are de-
posted on dry leaves or decaying
matter. The matured in
sect remains inactive during, the day,
but when night comes it seeks its food
among the shrubs and bushes, and woe
be unto the plant-lice or other forms
of life of the kind which happen to
come within the searching light of it's
lantern 1t does absolutely no harm
to the bushes and shrubs, and on this
account will not be objected to by the
people.
This is the first attempt that has
ever been made to bring the insects

the fifty or sixty remaining f1retiies
will live and spread themselves over
the islands.

1t seems as if the Objectionable re-
suits following in the wake of annexa-
ton could be avoided by accepting a
protectorate from the United States.
Life and property could be made as
safe under it's terms as under annexa-
ton; you could have commercial union:
the contract labor system need not be
disturbed, nor would there be any ne
cessity for comforting the rights of citi-
zenship upon Asiatics and others equ-
ally undesirable as citizens For va
rious reasons it would seem desirable
to give the President of the United
States the right of appointing your
Chief Executive, and as a matter of
course your treaties with foreign gov
ernments would require the approval of
the United States Government.
1t is to be hoped that this rough pen
sketch of the consequences likely to
follow the adoption of either course
will lead to full discussion of the sub
ject matter herein. and lead to fuller
understanding of the question at issue.
Later on, when the Islands are popu--
lated to considerable extent by Ann
orleans, it may be well enough to fully
annex them as State, but not in the
near future. C. SUPE.

MAY PLANT COFFEE.
Proposition to Utilize Land i'm Beau
tiful Blue Manoa.
day-Company to be Formed to
Plant Coffee and Fruits.

The extensively advertised sale OF
lots in Manoa Valley, which was to
have taken place yesterday, was with
drawn when the auction was announc-
ed. 1t is reported that a company will
be formed to take over the tract and
utilize the land as a coffee and fruit
plantation. Only the higher land will
be planted in coffee; the low land will
be used for bananas and pineapples.
If the scheme is a success the road to
the plantation will be widened and inn
proved generally, so that there will be
no difficulty in getting the product and
material in and out of town
In conversation with a gentleman
who was instrumental in having the
property withdrawn from sale it was
learned that the organization of the
Makaha Coffee Company was really the
main incentive to the development of
lands nearer the port of shipment He
said to a reporter for this paper:
'The coffee industry has not been
tried to any great extent on Oahu, and
there is no reason why it should not be
even more profitable here than in Kona
or Oalaa, as there is no transshipment
of the product. The land in Manoa has
all the shelter necessary to raising good
coffee, and besides, our men can be
used on the fruit plantation when not
engaged in coffee, so that the cost of
producing would be at the minimum.
Another thing. We believe that a
large market can be made for canned
and preserved Hawaiian fruits, not
necessarily with the United States, but
with Australia, and perhaps China and
Japan. When our first crop of fruit is
ripe we will judge from the character,
both as to size and flavor, what can be
done with it. If it is what we have
every reason to expect it will be, we will
then erect a factory and prepare the
product
Like other institutions of a similar
kind, the scheme is not, in the opinion
OF the gentleman, ripe enough to per-
NIT of the publication of the names of
the incorporators or detailed plan of
the prospectus.

The officers of the "Zaragoza" say
that wherever they may go, IL will be
impossible for them to have such a
fine time as they had in Honolulu. The
hospitality of the Honolulu people is
a matter of general comment aboard.
