La estatua de Espr0nceda

Nj amigo y raisano L. Linarss Be-
Ierra requiere desde "Diario Univer-
sal" entire otras, mi opinion acerc de
81 IL estatua de Espronceda debera
ser erigida en- Madrid 8 en- Almendra-
lejo. Seg1n van poniendose las cosas.
creo tambien como ell seflor Linares,
que pasarS Ell centena ario del poeta sin
que 50 estatua quede en- ninguns par
fe. Mas partiendo del supuesto de
que asf no haya de suceder, mi vote
es este: Madrid.
Lo mismo opinan ell va bien digno
de otra estatua Salvador Rueda. Ell
excelentfsimo cronista Antonio Cor ton,
mi ilustre paisano Galvez Holguin y
mi no menos paisano y simpatico COM
paflero de Conisi6n Fidel Domfnguez,
fundandose cada uno en- iguales pa
recidos motivos sentimentales. Yo
afladirfa otros para cimentar mi OPT
nion.
Si una estatua ha de signihcar un
monumento de recuerdos gloriosos pa
ra todo ell mundo y en- especial un es
Sfmulo dc emulhciones para los paisa-
nos y compstriotae del glofi6cado, ma
tural es que Sc la implante alli donde
IN as gente pueda verla: p.i amos, COM
patriotas y extranjeros.
Y desde este punto de vista,
no solo oes Madrid la capital de
Espafla, y la mas mundial capital es-
pafiola por consiguiente, sino mas ca
pital de Extremadura que ell mismo
Badajoz y mas extremefia que ell pro-
pio Almendralejo. Efectivamente, 20,
dralejo jamas. De cada Glen extre-
mefios 4 quienes puedan importarles
las estatuas, les ocurre igual. segura-
mente, a noventa y cinco. En- cambio
de cada Glen de esos extremefios, no.
venta y cinco, sino los ciento, han es-
tadc alguna vez en- Madrid.
Bien que Ell monumento conmemo-
rador de una batalla, por ejemplo. Sc
alec en- ell sitio donde ocurrio. 81 su
importancia historical 10 merece, va
aran los ilustres curiosos q visitarlo
Pero la estatua de un poeta que fue
universal no hay para hacerla "local'sy
reducirla la admire ciou de una ciu
dad modesto y de los curiosos il1s
tres pelegrinos. No por estar EN- Ma.
drid la de Espronceda, dejara de SCI
una gloria ospafola, extremefa. dc
Almendralejo, donde ma clio ell autor de
oEl Diablom undo" Antes al contra
rio, sabra mas gente que 10 es, el le-
gftimo orgullo de Almendralejo, de Ex
tremadura, de Espafla toda, sera mas
grande.
No terminare las presentes lineas
sin darle aquel a quien van dirigi
das, y al pdblico. una noticia que an.
teanoche lie escuche Laura Escosura
Espronceda a de Martos. La ilustre
dana, directa descendients del poeta,
posee ell original de un drama, "Do1a
Blanca de Borb5n", que aquel dej6
inedito, que en- "a actualidad arreg a
un ilustre literato para representarlo
en- un teatro de esta corte.

later. Judge Niles adjourned

anan. The remains were sent to

Camphor From Florida.

The latest industrial possibility Gia
covered in Florida's varied seMl-trop
ical vegetation is the commercial pro
duction of camphor. The camphoi
tree has been grown in many parts
of Florida as foliage plant and cur
iositv but it remained fer the De
rartment OF Agriculture experts &c
realize the commercial possibilities
of this exotic plant.
During the past year a number OF
trees in different parts of the State
were PLACED at The disposal OF the
DEPARTMENTS investigators. and from
these 80 pounds of camphor gum
were produced. This. upon refining,
proved to be in every way . perfect
" satisfactory substitute f<r the Or
iental article.
It is declared by the Department
plant expert that the camphor tree
can be grown 10 advantage in many
parts of Florida which have been
abandoned for orange culture owing
to the danger incident to occasional
visitations Of frost.

Boston's Squirrels.

If Central Park squirrels have
houses built for them this winter,
as it is said they will have, perhaps
next year Boston Common squirrels
will be similarly accommodated The
houses could and should be pictur.
esque things. good for us to look At
and comfortable for the dwellers. And
the little animals ought to be very
happy in them, too. Though they
have become SO civilized. or SO like
us, in the years they have spent with
us that when building time comes
they will probably show a pretty dc
termination to have all their houses
front in Beacon street. And what can
we do but consent? They are with
us probably for all time. and since
they are an assumed obligation our
duty to them is of the highest.-Bos

Autos Raise the Dust.

Much complaint has been heard IN
France during the past summer on
account of the excessive dustinest
of the otherwise admirable roads
This is ascribed mainly to the IN
creasing use of automobiles. 1t is
asserted that houses and chateauz
with beautiful grounds and gardens
have been rendered virtually inhablt'
able by the clouds Of dust raised by
passing automobiles, and even gar
den plants have been seriously dam
aged by the thick carpet of dust
spread over them. 1t seems to be
agreed that the remedy is not TO be
sought through any change in the
structure, or the speed, of autonlo
GILES, but through some treatment OF
the roadways tending to keep down
the dust. Earring the roads is
strongly recommended, the use OF
petroleum being practically excluded
on account Of its great cost in Eu
rope.
