During the argument preceding the
verdict the jury WAS excused for half
an hour. When the jury was again
called into court Juryman Rowell was
absent. As he explained to the Court

Judge Gear informed the juryman

The trial of w. Hung Fook. a Chi
nese private Waterman in the employ
Of Robertson's Merchants Patrol,
charged with carrying concealed wea-
pons, brought forth a lurid story Of
the old rivalry existing between the
two merchants patrol systems Of Ho-
nolulu. 1t was claimed by Deputy
Chillingworth that Fook possessed no
commission as a special officer, neither
nad he the right to carry revolver
On his person. When Fook was placed
IN the stand he declared that a mem
Der of the Bowers service had threat
sned him with partial destruction il
he persssted in walking along the al
.otted beat. Fook stated that his only
anxiety was to escape an untimely
Heath and therefore armed himself.
The uncommissioned officer was de-
tended by T. McCants Stewart. The
plea set up moved the heart of his
honor and the defendant escaped with
l reprimand. Judge Wilcox took &C.
.asion to hand out some advice to the
police department, in that he believed
hat the High Sheriff made'a great
mistake when he allowed any person
other than a regular police officer to
wear Dauge. He mentioned instances
where the unsuspecting public had
been inundated by persons upon
whose breasts reposed an awe-inspir-
ng badge of authority. Call in some
those badges" was the parting shot

THE VALUE OF roADs AND BATS.

AS a result Of experiments with
toads and bats it has been demon
strated that a house. or even com
munity. can be rid Of various trouble
some insects. including flies and mos
quItoes. These experiments were
made by Professor Clinton F. Hodge
of Clark University, Worcester, Mass.
Professor Hodges first experiment
was with the toad. II constructed a
small pen in my garden, he said.
and in it. in pan of water. installed
a male and female toad. To attract
food for them | placed within the en-
closure bits Of meat and bone. The
results were as satisfactory as they
were unexpected The roads spent
most of the time sitting within reach
ing distance of the bait. and killing
the flies attracted by it. watched
one toad snap up eighty-six house
flies in less than ten minutes.
"One day gathered a quantity of
rose bugs in tin box and began to
feed the bugs TO toad. At first
did not count. but finding his appe
tite so good I started to count. When
had counted over eighty bugs and
the toad showed no signs OF wishing

Previous TO my beginning to count

bugs. weevils. snails and many other
insects. So. too. in house. room
may be cleared of eockroaches by
leaving a toad in it over night.
"A single toad may destroy over
two thousand worms during the
months of May. June ana July, and
one of these harmless creatures may
well do a gardener service to the
amount OF nineteen dollars and eighty
eight cents each season. and yet he
can raise twenty Thousand dollars
worth of toads at an expense of not
more than twenty cents.
Farmers in England buy them.
paying as high as twenty-four dollars
per hundred. for use in their flower
beds and gardens. For household
purposes small number OF toads
could be given homes in an aquarium
At night the toads could be let loose
TO kin bugs. while in the day they
could kill flies. I have built a sort
OF cage or wire screen foot wide
and two feet long. the top OF which
is kept open. 1t is only necessary tc
put in two or three toads. provide
them with shelters. q dish of water in
one corner. and then keep It supplied
with bits OF raw meat and other refuse
matter calculated to attract flies"
In speaking of the bat. Professor
Hodge said. I'VE have no animal
more interesting and probably none
more valuable. and certainly none less
understood and more abused than the
