THE TALK OF THE DAY.

There Is a popular belief that certain trees are
less likely than others TO be struck by lightning,
and that during a thunder storm II IS quite safe
to stand under a beech, for example, while the
danger under resfnous tree or an oak Is. respec-

disputed in a recent writing by DR. A w Borth-
wick in the Notes of the Royal Botanical Garden,
of Edinburgh The doctor says that tree is i'm
rnune since lightning will select species quite
as readily another and the beech is struck quite
as frequently as any other species Apparently the
taller trees in a neighborhood are tho ones most
likely to be struck. Contrary 10 what Is believed

Opportunity for a Cottage Hotel
at Pearl Hdrbor Peninsula

We have for sale an ideal property
for the above purpose consisting of a
large lot having a frontage on Pearl
Harbor of 203 feet and depth of
about $50 feet. The main building, a
bungalow, consists of large entrance
lanai, 80 feet by 40 feet, continuous
covered veranda $50 feet long, large
living room % feet by As feet, dining
room, pass pantry and kitchen, nine
bedrooms, two bathrooms, two large
cottages Gone with bathroom), large
boathouse and bathhouse combined,
connected with main lot by pier 700
feet long, and water lot 209 feet by
400, adjoins the sea frontage. There

with two box stalls and ample carriage
or automobile room, with fine room
overhead for storage, and servants
cottage or three rooms.
This is not sacrifice sale, but the
property will be sold for fair price

Pearl Harbor property is attracting
great deal of attention at the pres

locality.

railroad accommodation alone, but is
within easy distance of the naval sta
tion by launch service.

these a host of those beetles, so com
mon here in decaying fruit So abun-
dant were these beetles that at the
slightest jar of the tree numbers of
them fall out and drop onto what was

fruit and drop it into kerosene and
thus destroy most of the beetles as we'll
as their habitation.
ION the 18th we visited a garden in
the city on request to Account for the
death of citrus tree. The plant was
found to have been ringbarked at the
crown by crown rot. This disease is
common here on citrus trees and is
made especially obnoxious by the sys
tenn of irrigation in practice. Diseases
of that nature thrive best in moisturel
Evidently then, to reduce losses from
crown rot water should be applied to
plants in a way that it will not come
in immediate contact with the trunk
1t is not needed there anyway. since
the finer rootlets which sare alone en-
gagged in the absorption of moisture are
at the extremities of larger root
branches, and lie at some distance
from the main trunk.

twentyfour mangOsteen sprouts, sever

dozen magosteen fruit. The last was
refused admission in accordance with
board regulations prohibiting impOrta-
tion of fresh fruits from the Orient
Some of the mango plants were found
infested with aphis and all the cases
were fumigated with hydrocyanic acid
gas. The mango seeds were inspected,
found apparently pest free and passed.
The soil in the pots was originally
taken from here, and, in accordance
with your instructions, was kept in
screened houses while in Manila. A
letter from the officer in charge of the
Botanical Gardens, Manila, brought by
Mr.. MacIntyre and placed on our files
testifies to that effect. Upon examina,
ton nothing was found in the soil
liable to become injurious and it was
passed.
