The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-09-19

The Japa nese beetle, which IN tunes
last caused such havoc with roses
valuab BILE plants and other vegetation IN
Hawaii is rapidly being externinated'
largely through the efforts of Hilo
scientist. the HiIo Tribune says. Broth
er Matthias of the st. Mary's school
5ilo, for the past ten years has been
actively engaged in the study OF plant
life in the Hawaiian Islands and
means for its preservation. Nearly
every species of vegetable life in Ha-
wall has a blight or insect which
.preys upon it, and the aim OF island
entomologists has been to secure some
parasite which in turn would react
upon the preying animaculae.
Owing to his fondness for flowers,
Brother Matthias has given especial
attention to the pest known as the
Japanese beetle. which preys upon
the island roses. But for this pest
Hawaii would blossom with every
variety of rich and rare flower, and
until lately all efforts by housewives
and others to cultivate roses in the
islands have failed because OF the Jap
anese beetle. About seven years ago
dead caterpillar with q peculiar fun>
gus growth enveIoplng it was brought
to Brother Matthias for his examina-
ton. It had been found in Olaa by
Prof. Koebele, and its appearance was
the source of considerable speculation
as to the cause of its death. With the
aid of the microscope, Brother Matthi-
as soon discovered in the fungus
growth attaching to the caterpillar
myriads of spores, or eggs, which were
capable of reproducing similar fun
gus substance.
He made series OF experiments, a
mong others upon the japanese, beetle,
and his hopes were soon realized. For
wherever the inf1ntesimal spores of the
fungus came in contact with the beetle,
or with the foliage upon which it fed,
the beetle became infected, and he
found that he soon had all the cultures
required in the shape OF dead beetles.
With these as a start he instituted a
vigorous campaign against the pest,
and the scarcity of the insect attests
to the wonderful work he has accom-
plished.
For three years he daily inoculated
and let go thousands of Japanese
beetles, which in turn spread the dis
ease. and beetles subsequently cap
tured in various parts of the island
have shown evidences of the fungus
growth. He was greatly aided by
John A. Scott, whose gardener kept
Brother Matthias supplied with quart
pals full of fresh insects, which after
he scattered broadcast or
sent to other localities. Brother Mat
thias estimates that over 10000 Japa-
nese beetles have thus been gathered
and inoculated by himself and the pu-
pills of st. Mays school with the dis
ease, which has rapidly spread to 9TH
ar beetles, until now hardly a beetle

any agent who should capture that noted
thief. With this he held a poignard at
the breast of the Lieutenant OF police,
to kill him instantly if he
made an outcry There was nothing for
Herault to do but submit Poulailler
took form his pockets some cords; bound
securely the Lieutenant and tied him TO
the knob of door. At his ease Pou-
Taller searched the desk of NJ Herault
and after securing in gold sum much
in excess of that he had demanded,
bowed politely and took his departure
1t was not until an hour later that a
servant came to the cabinet of the Lieu
tenant of police, who, Inundated at the
ignoble trick of which he was the victim,
had been ashamed to call for help after
Poulailler's departure. Instead, he en-
deavored to bite through the cords and
release himself, but they were proof
against his efforts. The rage of NJ. Her
ault may be imagined: epigrams were
showered upon him and ribald songs
were sung under his windows, so that he
could go nowhere without being greeted
with shouts of laughter. The audacity of
Poulailler grew with success; people
were afraid to venture out at night; the
boulevards IN particular were deserted
after nightfall: universal alarm pervaded
Paris.
1t was at this time that Poulail1er de-
cided to rob the Hotel de Brienne, the
residence of the Princess de Lorraine.
This was difficult undertaking in the
face of the strong guard which protected
it. To accomplish his purpose, while the
carriage of the Princess was stationed
near the Opera he managed to fasten
himself to the leather graces under the
body of the vehicle, while his accomplices
were treating the coachman and footmen
IN neighboring wineshop. 1t was in this
way that he gained access TO the interior
OF the closely guarded court of the hotel.
When the stablemen had gone to bed he
unfastened himself from the braces of
the carriage and proceeded to the stable
loft, where he concealed himself for
three days and four nights. awaiting a
favorable opportunity to rob the Prin-
cess apartments, feeding himself on tab
lets OF chocolate the meanwhile AT last,
the Princess going to a ball given by
Madam de Marsan. and the people OF the
hotel availing of the opportunity to take
night off. Poulailler emerged from
his hiding place. broke his way into the
cabinet OF the Princess and secured 1000
louis & or $4,000 of our money! and a
pocketbook which he discovered con-
tanned nothing but Unacceptable securi-
ties. These being of no use to him. he
returned them to the Princess, with a
polite note in which he asked her to ac-
cept with his commitments the restitution
OF the papers; that if ne had been aware
OF the modest amount OF money that she
kept about her, rather than deprive such
a charming woman OF so trifing a sum.
he was willing to offer her double the
amount if she would do him the honor to
| make use of it for her personal needs.
| This insolence was considered in such
good taste that during an entire week
