the following vivid account of his ex-

After sleeping in a barn with Zouave
prisoners, a soldier standing over as

O'Clock the next morning. The prisoners
were told to peel potatoes fer the field
kitchen. 1 made my toilet while a guard
followed me about. At S o'clock all the
soldiers began to form up. Orders came
from the ioficers like pistol shots, the

Sometimes the column would let an

the great wagons simply bristling with

IF you look through the geneaI-
ogies of the Muir family in
Scotland and England you
will find that most of the well
known Muirs have been scientists
chemists, pathologists, scientific ex-
plorers, naturalists and surgeons.
So it would be reasonable to sup
pose that some Muir would furnish
the key to a business romance, for
in these days much of the romance
of business is due to the service
science renders it.
Frederick Muir, entomologist, is
the romance-producing member of
his family. Sugar, fast getting to
be an article of luxury, is the con-
meeting link between Mr.. Muir and
business.
The search for a parasite is the
occasion of an interesting chapter
in the life of Mr.. Muir and IN the
record of the development of the
sugar-producing industry.
Nowhere else in the world has
sugar-cane growing been brought
to such a high state as in the Ha-
waiian Islands. The deep. rich
soil of those islands has something
to do with this, for sugar cane re-
quires that soil. The cheapness of
native labor has something more to
do with this, for there must be
abundant labor, especially at har-
vest time, if the cane fields are to
be properly cared for. But it is
modern scientific effort which has
more to do with the success of the
Hawaiian sugar-cane industry than
anything else.
Men of wealth have capitalized
the cane industry in Hawaii and
have established vast plantations
there. Realizing that they must
depend on chance no more than
any other modern business man

THE impression 1 gathered from con-

they would never forgive England. Even

Real Romances Of the Business World

/ depends on it, they organized,
years ago, the Sugar Planters As
sociation, an organization with the
avowed object of increasing the
cane output from the islands and
of improving it.
There are insect pests that
threaten the life of the sugar-cane,
as there are insect pests which i'm
peril every agricultural product in
the world. These pests vary ac-
cording to location. In Hawaii the
one that gives the most trouble is
the weevil borer.
Therefore, the task of finding a
natural parasite for the sugar-cane
borer presented itself to the men
of science who were employed at
the experiment station of the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association.
No successful way to check, the
ravaRes of the borer had been
found. 1t destroyed about a mil
lion dollars worth of sugar every
year. But the men of science felt
sure that if a borer parasite were
found the damage would be pre-
vented.
In the spring of 1906, Frederick
Muir was assistant entomologist AZ
the Hawaiian station and to him
was assigned the very important
work of finding, parasite for the
weevil borer.
Il suppose you'll 60 through lots
of excitement, Muir, and maybe
your life will be in danger" said
the head of the station.
NO." said Muir, quietly in his
crisp English accent. 81 shall nev-
er be in danger of my life. Nobody
is, you know, who respects the
habits and customs of the natives
of the country he is visiting, be
they men or beasts"
With this spirit, Muir started
out.
There was no known parasite to
the borer, so the only thing for
Muir to do was to travel through
The Washington herald., 1914-10-11

cane plantations until he found the
tiny insect or possibly the germ for
which he was searching.
So first he went to China, which
carries on big sugar-growing in
dustry. He made Hongkong his
headquarters, and from there he
travelled through regions never be-
fore visited by white man. His
sole companion was native boy,
who acted as guide and interpret
er. The natives of the part of
China he visited were known to
be hostile to all outsiders. But, re-
membering that he must always
respect their habits, Muir had no
trouble with them. Besides that,
he told them, through his inter
prefer, that he was a physician
searching for simples with which
to cure the ills of mankind. They
accorded him the respect due to
a helper of men. Perhaps if they
had known that he was searching
for one tiny insect that would
bring death to another that bored
destructively through the sweet
canes of sugar, they would have
accorded him different treatment.
In January, 1907, after spending
FIVE months in the wilds of China,
he returned to Hongkong-unsuc-
cessful. But he was not discour-
aged. Because his parasite was
not to be found in China was no
The Washington herald., 1914-10-11

reason why it should not be found
elsewhere.
So he travelled through Java and
Borneo until the autumn and then
he went to the Moluecas or Spice
Islands, which, besides the nut
megs and cloves that give this
group its name, produces cane.
Here he worked for months, some
times drenched to the skin for days
in tropical rains, sometimes wading
for hours in tropical mud, sleep
ing in the huts of the natives and
eating whatever fare was offered
him.
Finally he thought his search
was rewarded, for he found a
parasite on a borer beetle that in
tested the sage palma borer, ap-
parently, like that of the Hawaiian
cane fields.
In September, 1908, he started
back to Hawaii with his find.
Hongkong lay on his route to Ha-
waii and, when he reached the
Chinese city he discovered, greatly
to his sorrow and chagrin, that all
his carefully collected stock of bor-
ers, with their attendant parasites,
was dead.
So, as his quest had proved un-
successful, he decided not to go
back to the Spice Islands for the
sage-palm borer, but to seek farth-
er for a real cane-borer parasite.

THE QUEST FOR A
PARASITE
By OSBORN MARSHALL

He went to New Guinea or Papua,
and, there, after many hardships,
he found the real cane-borer-and
the precious parasite.
He decided that this time he
could make the journey with more
safety for his insect charges BY
way of Australia than by way of
China So with special cages, in
which he carried a big supply of
borers and parasites, he sailed for
Australia.
There he fell i'll of typhoid fever
and lay helpless in the hospital for
FIVE weeks. His precious insects
were almost continually in his
mind, but he was far too i'll to
care for them-and, when at last
he was well again, they were all
dead.
OF course, Mr.. Muir was down.
hearted, but he was not hopelessly
discouraged, and he decided that
the only way to get live borers and
hence live parasites to Hawaii was
to replenish them on the way. In
February he went back to Papua
and two months later again started
back to Hawaii, and on the way
home he stopped at several places
and bred several generations of the
insects. He was i'll again in the
Fiji Islands, but he finally man

The Sacred Scavenger.
But while Vera Cruz sleeps from
eleven to one, Natures scavengers are
at work. It is weird scene that
meets the American who passes down
the deserted streets of this port of
rich nation at the siesta hour. With
shutters up and all the human life or
the city suspended, one walks the de-
serted streets with feeling of weird
desolation. 1t appears to the unac-
customed visitor as a city of the dead.
And as he passes through the still,
sunlit streets bereft of human COM
partnership there is ever with him that
weird presence Of the scavenger buzz
zard. This, the sacred bird of mys-
terry of the Aztecs, is a sort of guard
ian spirit of this city of the tropics.
The new sewage system Of Vera Cruz
does much to dispose of its refuse,
but there is still need of the turkey
buzzard for doing away with matter
left on the surface. So they flock
through the streets. They hop about
the cutters and are so tame as to be
almost stepped on. They ride majes-
tically and solemnly on the tail of any
passing milk cart. They sit in the
trees of Plaza de la Constitution. But
above all, they flock by the thousands
about the roof Of the old Parochial
church across that plaza from the
hotel.
And this spot is rich in historical
events with which every man is ac-
quainted, but the exact setting for
which he has forgotten. Here it was

Dalrymen Make Many Tests.

Nearly four hundred and fifty cows,
owned by II breeders in % counties
OF Wisconsin, are being tested to
determine their milk and butter fat
producing capabilities. According to
official figures from the depart
ment of dairy tests at the college
of agriculture, University Of Wiscon-
sin, this is the largest number of
cows ever under test at one time in
the state.
Each of the five dairy breeds popu-
lar with Wisconsin farmers is repre-
scented in the tests, forty-six of the
herds being Guernsey, eighteen Hol-
stein, eight Jersey, one Ayrshire and
one Brown Swiss.

COWS under test Waukesha county
is represented in the records with
nineteen herds or 119 COWS, and Fond

six herds or thirty cows.
