these senses. OF all the senses, the
sense of smell is probably the oldest,
next to the sense of touch, of which
Democritus pointed out long ago, all
the senses are notifications. We find
lit Y4dely distributed throughout the
aniipal kingdom, from the jellyfish up
to man, and located in wonderfully di-
verse forms, such as hairs, antennae,
delicate tubes, cones, knobs and mem
branes
Like all the other senses, it's keen
ness and delicacy depend upon how
much it is used. A vulture, for in
stance, has five times the smelling
power of a turkey, simply from the
fact that the vulture would starve if
it could not detect the odor Of its food
miles away, while a turkey does not
depend upon its olfactory powers for
a livelihood Swine have exceedingly
well-developed and complicated snsell-
ing apparatus. Flesh-eating animals,
as a rule, have more highly organized
olfactory organs than those that sub
sist upon plants. An elephant has
small and contracted nasal parts, but
makes up for this, in a degree, at
least, in having the longest nose in
the world, the nerves extending 20
the nostrils at the very tip of the pro
boscis, or trunk. CuriOusly enough, it
is. quite probable that the sense of
smell is entirely lacking in the larg-
est animals that live, or ever did live
the whales. Only the whalebone
whale has olfactory organs. The smell
ing apparatus of a bear is exceedingly
complicated. The portion of it's skull
given over to that function and known
as the turbinated bones are so folded
and divided that they look like a sec.

polar bear has been known to scent

POINT BLANK PorEsr.

To cut, or not to cut; that is the
question. Whether tbs better at the
first to suffer the knives and axes of
contending health boards, or to take
arms against the mob of inspectors,
and by sheer fist force pau them? To
talk, to fight, prevent-and by slap to
say you end the needless cutting and
a score of silly stunts the town is
sick of, 'Tis a consummation devour-
ly to be wished. To cut, and slash, de-
impoverish, ay, there's
the rub; for in the wanton waste of
our bananas which have been planted
in the garden soil must come some
want. There's self-respect that makes

ENcoURAGEM INT
TO SMALL FARMERS,

Editor Star; Yesterday | called the
Bulletin reporter and told him what
had happened to us Monday morning
early at 1850 Gulick avenue, and !
asked him whether he was willing
to report it or not, and he said he
would, but as | did not see it in the
Bulletin ! know it was not published.
| therefore would kindly ask you
if you would not oblige me and pub
fish the following conversation | had
with him, as | think every citizen has
a right to express his opinion wheth-
er he is rich or poor.
Following is the conversation:
"A year ago the papers and every
body else gave great encouragement
to plant bananas and more so the
Bluefelds.
Mr. Thomas of the pineapple fac
tory in Kalihi at that time had Blue
fields bananas advertised for sale.
ordered twenty-five dollars worth aud
had to borrow half of the money at
the time and planted them in the
gulch behind my premises, thinking
that l would try small farming.
When this banana scare came up
| told Mrs. Schlemmer that we would
obey the law providing we were no
tilted, and the Board of Health would
cut the trees themselves, as you may
know it is hard thing on any poor
man to cut down his own trees, after
being encouraged to plant them Then
told him that now comes the fruit
fly scare and we probably have to
cut down our orange trees next, and
here our dear governor sends to Cali
fornia to get an expert to show us
how to farm.
Now can you or any other citizen
see any sense in such a transaction
or do you mean to say it will encour-
age the small farmers to farm in this
country, where they may plant a crop
today and be ordered to cut it down
tomorrow? I, for one, think it will
not.
But the best of all was Monday

MR., sWEzEY ON MOSQUITOES.

Editor Star: AS some Of my state
ments concerning mosquitoes have APP
parently been misunderstood, l wish
to make clear the following facts
which I have always maintained.
According to our present knowledge
we have three species of mosquitoes
in the Hawaiian Islands: CuleX fati-
gans, or the night mosquito; Steg.
omyia calopus, or the yellow fever
mosquito; and Stegomyia scutelaris,
or the so-called forest mosquito.
1t is true, as the Star says, that
have not personally found any yellow
fever mosquito here, but | have seen
cabinet specimens collected here sew,
eral years ago Other entomologists
reported their existence here as long
ago as 1892.
Stegomyia calopus was figured cor
,rectly in the Advertiser, November 3,
and labeled day mosquito" the two
Central lines on the thorax plainly dis
tinguishing it from scutellaris, which
has only one line similarly placed.
During the present mosquito cam
paign confusion has been caused by
the yellow fever mosquito being de-
scribed as possessing only one cen
trail line on the thorax, this making it
appear as if our more numerous day
mosquito (Stegomyia scutellaris) is
the yellow fever one. Another point
which has caused confusion is the be-
lief that Stegomyia scutellaris is con
fined to the forests and mountains
and that all day mosquitoes in the
town are Stegomyia calopus, whereas
Stegomyia scutellaris breeds all over
the town, and, according to my obser-
vations, is by far the more numerous
Of the two. Likewise Stegomyia Gallo
pus is not confined 10 the town, but
has been taken 1900 feet up the noun
tains.
These facts have been known to en-
tomologists long before the present
mosquito campaign commenced.

uNcLEANLlNEss IN HOTELS

UNCLEANLlNESS IN HOTELS.
Editor Star: Honolulu has much
to boast of, but there are some things
that are not much to her credit. For
instance, many of the eating houses
and many of the lodging houses are
anything but a credit to this town
and mainly for the reason that they
are not kept, clean. There might he
some excuse for this in case of the
smaller places, but when one or more
of the larger hotels get such a Teputa
ton it is still more to be deplored.
And I will say that these com
plants do not come alone from dainty
DANES, who have been used to nothing
but dainty homes, but from men and
women who have roughed it in all
parts of the world 1t i, said that in
one of the larger hotels the carpets
curtains, blinds, etc, are in a shame
full condition, and so much so that
many of the guests leave in disgust.
Now, as this is cleaning-up time
let this good work extend to these
places, and not only for the credit %
the city, but for these hotelkeepers
as well. OBSERVER.
