No spot on earth has suffered so
much from the Importation of insect

a pleasure to live there because of the
absence of such plaques; now it Is
different.
The two chief products of these
islands are sugar and coffee, while n
considerable amount of fruit is also
grown. Along with the imported trees
came their insect enemies, notably the
scale insect and the aphis. In the
course of time these increased so pro-

HUNT FOR kIDD's TREASURE.
People of an Island on Connecticut Go
Money Mad.


A dispatch from Stony Creek, Con-
necticut. says that the entire popula-
tion of Money Island, one of the Thin
BILE group, which lies mile and half
off shore. is at high pitch of excite
ment. Both summer and winter popu-
lation, armed with trowel and clam
excavator, are digging up the shores
of the island in quest of treasure be-
lieved to have been buried by that
bloody-minded old buccaneer, Captain
Kidd. All this comes to pass because
Mike Luchia, for thirty years sailor
before the mast, but now the factotum
of DR.. d. G. Davis, n New York ply
sician. whose summer home rises on
the bluff western shore of the island,
dreamed of money and the dream
came true. Mike Luchia is exhibiting
doubloons and other pieces of money
which he dug up after n dream re-
vealed their whereabouts. They are
blackened and worn, but things of
beauty to the excited islanders.
