Among the visitors in Honolulu to-
day is George Compere an entomologist
in the employ of the California State
Board of Horticulture. He is not only
an eminent entOmologist but according
to the San Francisco papers he is the
hero Of as stirring a melodrama as was
ever written. According to the news
papers whenever he starts out to find
the chronological antidote for a given
bug or scale, other entomoiogists start
out following him seeking to learn
what he finds out and to snatch the
laurels from his brow. Up to date he
has outwitted all of these rivals.
