been a product of Mexico, and it is be-
lieved that many of the insect pests of
cane have there developed their insect
or parasitic enemies, so that a study of

DR., BISHOP ON
PEARL HARBOR
THE WELL KNOWN AUTHORITY
ON THINGS HAWAIIAN TELLS OF
THE sHOALING FORMERLY.

EDITOR STAR.-A statement in the
morning paper derived from Capt. Nib
lack, U. S. NJ, contains valuable infor-
nation about recent increase of shoal-
ing in the East Loeb of Pearl Harbor
as follows:
"A chart made in 1897 showing water
in places to be % feet over shoals has
no bearing on the present condition.
The shoals have enlarged in some pla-
ces and the water is not as deep now
by several feet. Some of this increase
in the shoals may be due to the irri-
cation of the plantations, the water
running into the lochs carrying fine
dirt and sand with it,"
Having been somewhat familiar with
conditions existing there since 1886, 1
beg leave to contribute what 1 know.
Prior to that date, the shoaling had
been comparatively Slight About that
time cattle and goats began to be in
trOduced. These animals increasing in
numbers gradually denuded the up
lands of their former somewhat dense
clothing of grass and small bushes,
which intercepts nearly all the Soil
which occasional deluging rains tended
to wash into the upper lochs. At the
same time their feet more or less loos-
ened up the soil. In consequence there
came to be from this cause from 1S45 to
1895 an increasing transportation of the
soil of the uplands into the harbor.
| Before that period there abounded
near the shores Of the upper lochs large
numbers of beautifully speckled and
very palatable clam, also of a small
species of pearl oyster which gave it's
name to Pearl River" which was the
usual foreigners designation for the
! lower channels. Within the past ten
years have seen a very few of those
CLAIMS exposed for sale in Honolulu
market. But I believe that the oysters
have been wholly extinct for perhaps
thirty years, in consequence of the mud
invading their former beds. Both oys-
tiers and CLAIMS sought the inland reach
es of the lochs where they were favor
ed by the copious springs of fresh wa
ter pouring in there. When living there
in the later thirties, we often found
seed pearls in the oysters and occa-
sionally ivory white pearls in the
CLANS
Since the uplands have been planted
with cane, I deem it not improbable
that the invasion of soil into the upper
portions of the lochs may have increas-
ed. But 1 should attribute this not at
all to irrigation, since very little water
is allowed to go to waste. 1t would be
due to the ploughng up of the soil, ex-
posing considerable quantities TO be
washed away in times of heavy rain.
I presume that the injurious shoal-
ing has not, and will not affect the
long channels which will be the places
of anchorage and wharfage for the flu
ture commerce of that splendid haven
The invading mud must all settle tC
the bottom before reaching those chan
nels, and the shoaling be confined tc
the broad spaces of the inland lochs
which are less adapted to commercial
uses.

ARCHDEACON At
THE VOLCANO
MADAME PELE RECOGNIZED THE
CHURCH DIGNITARY BY GIVING
A FIRE DISPLAY.

Archdeacon Jefferis of Little Rock,
Ark, who with his party has just re-
turned from trip to the volcano, is
particularly enthusiastic over the trip
I've been told that there has been
what is commonly termed knocking
as regards the "trip to Hilo and the
Volcano" he said this morning at the
Moana, but that is hard to believe
for "A more delighted excursion than
that from which l returned yesterday
cannot be imagined. Some people had
told me that the volcano was a fake
but l ann glad to say that so far from
its being a fake, it is one of the most
rmarkable phenomena that 1 have
ever seen even with the fresh expert
ence of a world tour.
Not only that, but I was agreeably
surprised all along the line. The steam
ship accommodation was excellent, the
service was good and all of the officers
and the attendants as well were cour-
teous and obliging to a marked degree.
The menu, too, could not have been
bettered. At Hilo, where, we were
told, we could get no accommodations
the Demosthenes cafe people looked
after our party in fine style. The trip
up the railroad followed by the stage
drive were both magnificent, in fact If
I go farther, people might suspect that
had travelled free over the route and
was simply trying to boom it. There
is nothing in that, I am simply giving
the benefit of my experience for those
who may come along after.
"As to the volcano itself" continued
the Archdeacon. Il have been twice
to Vesuvius and I have seen the vol
canoes in Japan, one of our party had
seen the Borneo volcanoes, but we all
agreed that we had never seen any
thing like Halemaumau. When we
went there first there was a dense
smoke hanging over the crater and we
waited quite a time. All of a sudden
there was a series of defeaning shocks
and, honestly, I thought the whole
place we were standing upon was go
ing to fall in. Then a wind sprang up
and the smoke was blown away and we
saw huge spouting cone in the cen
ter of a field of lava. 1t was this
breaking through that has caused the
commotion. 1t was awe-inspiring be-
yond description.
I'VE visited all of the craters in and
about the volcano and everyone was
worth the trouble. People who come
to Hawaii and fail to see the volcano
have wasted their time it seems to
me-"
Archdeacon Jefferis will leave for
Maui in a few days.
