Tapas, 57 



Tape worms {Cfsfciidra) of many species occur in 

 Hawaii. Almost all species of domestic ani- 

 mals are aitectecl more or less by these para- 

 sites which live in the adult stage in the 

 alimentary canal. Oogs, horses, cattle, sheep, 

 swine, aiid even men have one or more 

 species peculiar to each ; in fact, a large ma- 

 jority of vertebrate animals are subject to 

 tape' worms. These parasites are peculiar 

 in that they have no mouth nor alimentary 

 canal, absorbing their nourishment from that 

 intended for the host.

Tattooing was practiced in ancient times to a cer- 

 tain extent. The acrid poisonous juice of 

 Ilieo (Pluinba<j() Zci/lrnidica) , a small shrul) 

 occurring on the lowlands, was used to pro- 

 duce black tattoo-marks. The acrid juice of 

 Sisyrinchiitni acre, from the high mountains 

 of Hawaii and Maui, produced a blue tattoo- 

 mark. Contact with sailors, soon after the 

 discoverv of the group, tended to stimulate 

 the art of tattooing. During the early whal- 

 ing davs tattooing the body became very 

 common with the result that almost every 

 old Hawaiian sailor of that period was 

 marked with the conventional designs used 

 by sea-faring men. The practice was not 

 regarded at any time as a religious ceremony 

 (as in certain Polynesian islands), but simply 

 as a matter of personal fancy or sometimes 

 as a token of affection or as an indication 

 of bereavement.

Temperature. The highest shade temperature (U. 

 S. Weather Bureau in Honolulu) in ten 

 years has been 86° Fahr. The lowest 56°. 

 "Occasionally on the lowlands a temperature 

 as high as 90° and as low as 52° occurs, 

 but these extremes are rare indeed. Tem- 

 perature decreases about 1° for each 320 

 feet of ascent in the mountains.

Theft. Thieving was a widespread habit among 

 the Hawaiian people at the time of their 

 first contact with Europeans. Within a few 

 years after the arrival of the missionaries 

 conditions had so changed, however, that 

 valuables might be left unprotected without 

 loss.
