Parasites Promptly Obiltcrnted by la.
portation of Their Enemies.
Fow countries have been moro plagued
by the importation Of insect pests shan
the Hawaiian Islands, and in none have
such extraordinary results followed the
introduction of beneficial species to de-
stroy them. The greatest damage has
been suffered from the invasion Of the
scale insect in different forms, which at
one time multiplied enormously. These
insects were eventually routed and de-
stroyod by the propagation Of the lady bird.
The two chief products OF the island are
sugar and coffee, and the cultivation of
fruit is rapidly on tho increase. All these
industries have been continually threat
ened with destruction from imported in
sects. Coffee plants were introduced into
the islands in 1925. In 1850 the blight
was imported, and in 1856 the cultivation
had to be abandoned to be recommended
after the ladybi had got to work on the
scale insects.
r. c. l.. Perkins states that ut one time
he saw tho canes on Kauia so devastated
by an aphis that 1t seemed as though moth
ing could save the plant from extermina-
ton. A most useful species of coccinella
was sent over from Ceylon and bred in

soon cleared of the aphides. On the same
island, on another occasion, Mr.. Perkins
saw the fruit trees, especially orange and
lime, in a beautiful garden, In a most de-
plorable condition from the attacks of
aphides and scale. Very few ladybirds
could be found after careful search. The
owner was for spraying the trees, but It
was decided to wait and give the imported

infested trees were all in perfect condition,

Mr.. Perkins also relates how destruc-

prodigiously and destroyed nearly every
rose tree In Honolulu, subsequently at

The cultivation of roses, once feature OF
the atty, became impossible, and n remedy
seemed hopeless. One day parasitic
fungus was discovered, which by cultiva.
ton and the infection by it of healthy
beetles was soon spread far and wide.
The ground under trees which were at.

HINTS FOR FISHERMEN.
A Few Words About Lines, Hooks, Reels,
Floats and Sinkers.

A Few words About Lines, Hooks, Reels,
Floats and Sinkers.
Lines should be sound and strong but
not too heavy fer tho rod Twisted lines
are more easily found of good quality, but
braided lines kirk less. Twenty yards are
quite enough for any fishing of the kind
we are considering and half as much
would usually suffice.
Hooks should be Of the best quality to
be had. Good hooks are still practically
all made in England. Shapes which have
received names arc many, and most of
them have advantages for particular kinds
of dshing. Among tho best are O'Shaugh-
messy, Limerick, Sneckbend, Aberdeen
and Sproat. The last named, we think
will meet more kinds of need than any
other one. A s to size, it should be rcmem-
bered that the hook is to fit tho bait, not
the ash's mouth; very small fish can
take any ordinary hook.
A reel is not SO absolutely necessary az
the rod, line and hook, but it is prime
convenience A well made single click
reel is better than any multiplier, except
for the one matter of making long casts
from tho reel, which beginner is not like.
ly to do.
For fly casting, a leader or casting line
of gut between the fly and the main line
Is necessary to making a light cast,
but for ordinary bait fishing the gut smells,
which are nowadays so generally attached
to hook, are bottom line enough. If, how
ever, you can get some white, gray or
cream colored hairs from the tail of u
young stallion, you can make bottom lines
or leaders for light fishing without ex-
pense.
gaudy 1oat is pretty sure to form part
of the first angling outfit, and 1t is useful
to keep the bait out of the weeds and to
notify the inexperienced angler that fish
Is biting. Choose one that is slender in
shape and not large. dry stick makes
a good enough extemporaneous float, and
If fish are shy may be better than more
snowy one.
For sinkers split shot, BIB size, and
buckshot or strips of thin lead, such as
come from tea chests, wound around the
line, are as good as any and very easily
procured.-Harper' Round Table.

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

She followed him down the carpeted

He turned on the electric light. No one
was in the library or the adjoining
drawing room, but low voices were
heard outside. Passing through the sit
ting room, which lay beyond the draw
ing room toward the rear, they met Mr..
Montcastle and Miss Alice Benton en-

hear it?''
"No," cried Alice, uncovering her
face. "What-who heard it?"

''It may have been nothing worth

That a Landou fog deprives coal gas
of Ill per cent OF its Illuminating
power will not surprise many of us, but
that the searching light of an incandes-
cent burner is robbed Of as much as 20.S
per cent of its efficacy under such cir
cumstances is certainly astonishing.
The reason Professor Lewes gives for
this phenomenon is that both the spec
trum of the incandescent and the electric
light approach very nearly that OF the
solar spectrum, being very rich III the
violet and ultra violet rays, and 1T is
precisely these rays which cannot make
their way through London fog. This
is the reason why the sun looks red on
foggy day. The violet rays are abb
sorbed by the solid PARTICLES floating III
the aqueous vapor of the atmosphere,
and only the red portions of the spec
trum get through. The old argand burn
er is much more successful ip battling
with London fog than either of its
more youthful and fashionable rivals.
