CONFUSION OF HAWAIIAN FISH

Several reasons can be given for
the lack f int rest, until recently. in
game fishing IN Hawaiian waters, not
only by local anglers but by sports
men who have visited the Islands
from III to tima frCm the mainland

First the native Hawaiian method of
fishing, from tine inImemCrial. has
been with either seine, dip or scoop

ISLAND FISHING GROUNDS.
A great number Of offshore fishing
banks, shoals, reefs and channels are
located in close proximity to all the
islands; these fishing grounds, in an
cient times, were appUTiiOned by the
king among his principal warrior
chiefs, retaining, howe er, a cOnsid-
erahle number for his own food sup
ply and sport.
The town Of Lahainc, situated near
the northwest point Of the island OF
Maui, Cnce the capita1 Cf the king
dom, was memorable in past history
as a favorite place Of the Maui sover-
eigns, more particularly on account of
its celebrated fishing grounds. AS

the claim which has been made that
there are Ieaping tuna in local wa ers
the statement made to substantiate
this claim being that no reference
could be found to the tuna family in
the 1903 FISH commission report on
Hawaiian fishes. l. must be remem-
bered that this report was based on
specimens of fish which we're obtained
by the fish commissioners themselves
or which were brought to their atten-
ton by those interested scientifically
or otherwise. in the investiga ion. The
local fishing industry had not then
been commercIalized by the japanese,
and consequently the leaping tuna,

not known in Hawaiian waters. Long

GOOD IN GARDEN MOVEMENT
City Of Duluth Has Demonstrated
That It Is OF Value In Many
Different Ways

In the summer of 1913, the Duluth
Commercial club obtained three va
cant lots in different parts of the
city and put a man in charge OF the
three tracts. He conducted demon
stration gardening through the sea-
son; was always available to help puz-
zled gardeners; guided the school chill
dren in their work, and otherwise
stimulated the garden movement in
the city.
From an importer of garden prod
ucts, Duluth became at least a pro-
Queer of its own supplies. Duluth's
hinterland is developing agricultural
ly, but the garden movement in the
city has lost none of its significance.
1t has promoted the ownership of
many homes; 1t has drawn children
from the street and made them gar
den enthusiasts; 1t has induced great
er efficiency among --wagetearners
through contentment and more health
full surroundings. and 1t has made Du-
luth a city of gardens beautiful to be-
hold.
OF greater value to Duluth is the
moral effect on the city. The rising
generation is one Of gardeners. Fac
tory workers and office employees not
only raise their own vegetables, but
they have developed their bodies by
the exercise. The demand for saloons.
gambling houses and similar resorts
is dying out.

Both fired. John Haynes fell, crippled
and paralyzed by a bullet in the spine.
When he recovered consciousness he
was lying in a city hospital under a

The chair was fitted with a large gyro-

Who was this crippled man who
had contrived so wonderful a machine?
John Haynes was an E%nglishman

the day came when he received a let

fiuence through dubious practices.
Staples informed him that his uncle,
one of the original settlers Of Nokomis

was estimated at $1,000,000. He of

camphOr Trees for Streets.

A trade journal quotes a Texas nur-
seryman as saying that the camphor
tree is very popular for street planting
in the southern part of that state:
that it is never troubled by insect
pests and that mosquitoes will avoid
1t.
No tree is exempt from insect pests,
and camphor trees may be found with
such a thick incrustation of the red
scale of the orange that bark on twigs
may scarcely be seen. Mosquitoes
avoid camphor and its fumes and
therefore will not literally 'roost"
upon the tree, but they do not avoid
the general territory in which t.
grows. The camphor tree Is a prime
favorite in southern California and

to deter us from planting it wherever

Baltimore comes forward with q

A correspondent who directs atten-

munity would devote part OF the

Admirable as the idea may seem in
the abstract, 1t may be questioned
whether neighborhood human nature
has arrived at the perfection neces-
sary to its success. 1t is not difficult
to imagine a refractory resident an

whole plan by restoring his fences.
1t may be doubted, too, whether this
could be avoided by any binding agree
