APRIL MORTUARY REPORT.
Analysis Of the Remarkably High Death
List.


List.
After the mortality article in
yesterdays paper was sent out the
health report for the month of
April arrived. 1t is found that of
the l08 deaths in the 80 days, 81
were children under five years of
age, the remaining Sc being from
ten years of age upward. The
deaths were divided by nationali-
ties as follows: Hawaiians, 63;
Chinese, Ia; Portuguese, IL;
Japanese, 8; American, 3; British,
2; all others, 8.
A comparison of these figures
with same month in previous
years is matter of interest. In
April 1893 the death list number

sumption claimed IL victims,

bronchitis 3, asthma 3 and con-
gestion of lungs l, making a total
Of 81 under this general head.
Cholera infantum resulted in the
death of 10 children, and diar,
rhea claimed 8 other victims.
Six deaths are charged to convul-
sions, 9 to fever of various kinds,
7 to insnition, 8 to old age, 3 to
heart disease and 3 to dropsy.
Further than the work of the

lecture on the mongoose in jana.
lea. There the animal has proved
about as great a pest as the one it
was imported to eradicate. Here
in Hawaii, where the rnongoose
has been in evidence ten or twelve
years, its relative evil is still a
moot question:: = r". T'
The regular monthly meeting of
the Biological club was held Fri
day evening, at s o'clock, in the
Glass of " Laboratory. DIR. W.
E. d. Scott, formerly of Cam
bridge University, read a paper
on "The Introduction of the
Mongoose into Jamaica with Re
ference to the Results upon the
Bird Life of the Island" DR..
Scott said that before the intro
duction of the sugar cane int
Jamaica, the island possessed
little commercial value.
Enterprising traders, however,
experimental with sugar growing
in Jamaica and found it success
full. But after experience in ex-
teusive sugar growing it was found
that the sugar-rat was very inju
rious to the crops. To remedy
this evil the mongoose was i'm
ported from India and four males
and FIVE females were brought to
Jamaica in March, 1872. This
was the only importation.
Because of their characteristic
rapidity in breeding, at the pre-.
sent day there are five to every
acre on this island.
This introduction of the mon
goose has resulted in the success
full destruction of the sugar-rat,
but also in the determination of
almost every kind of bird on the
island, both wild and domestic.
1t is impossible to keep
poultry as the mongoose
is sure to find and destroy the
egg, no matter how we'll it is pro-
tected. The absence of birds re-
moves the greatest protection
against insects, and cattle at pre-
sent are scarcely able to pasture
because of this fact. The cost to
exterminate the mongoose would
be over $5O0,00O per annum more
than the total governmental ex.
penses.
DR.. Scott took his facts from q
report based on the report oil
other students of biology in jana
lea, which he himself compiled
and which contains data up To
1890. This ia the most recent and
therefore the most accurate and
valuable source of information on
this subject which scientists
possess.
