CUBA HAS NEW
COCONUT DISEASE

Prof F. G. Earle, one of The com.
missioners appointed by President
Gomez to investigate the disease
which is killing cocoanut trees IN
Cuba, especially at Baracoa, Orlcute
Province, has made a preliminary re-
port to the government.
He states that the exports of cocoa
nuts from Baracoa have dropped from
100000 to 100000, that more than
half the trees are dead and that mat"
more are affected. The factory for
making oil from unshipped nuts that
formerly operated day and night, nov
operates only two days a week.
The disease has been virulent five
years. Affected trees are found on all
kinds of soils and at all attitudes.
Whole plantations have been com
pletely destroyed, and it is a serious
calamity to the district, as CoCoanCt
groves are the prime source of rev e.
nut President Gomez has offered a
prive of 100000 for the discovery Of a
cure for this 'bud-rot disease of the
Cocoanut palm.

ART ANTIQUITIES
FOUND IN SPAIN


Spain is considered by art collec-
tors a lucrative field; and many in
teresting antiques are picked up here
from time to time Seville has num-
erous shops where antiquities are
sold, and where the old Spanish nee
dlework may be purchased. This sec
ton of the country has so recently
comparatively speaking) been invad-
ed by tourists that art buyers claim
to find here many desirable things Of
which the more frequented countries
have long since been almost sold
out" Probably the old Spanish nee
dlework and the wood carvings are
the most characteristic finds
though the antique Spanish and the
lustrous Moorish tiles are also much
sought. OF course paintings are
eagerly scanned, and occasionally a
Murillo-school picture comes to sale.
As the history of this section Of
Spain is so rich, there are many an
tiquities that date from the Roman
period, such as earthen vases and
earthen lamps, also a little jewelry
and many trinkets, which are con-
stantly being dug up in the ruins of
buried cities; there are several such
in this district, notably Italica, near

ALeARoRA NOT TIMBER

A petition for injunction against the
Dowsett Estate has been filed in the
circuit court by Acknowledgement
Lindsay to restrain the defendant
from cutting wood on government land
at Nanakuli, Waianae. The lease on
this land expires next February. It is
stated that a Japanese has already
taken about 100 cords of wood from
the land. The lease provides that no
trees shall be cut, distinction from
timber, the Encouragement holds,
which will make the injunction hold.
The supreme court has held that al
garoba is not considered a timber
tree, and it is this growth that is
being cut.

WINGED that they were justified in
making the seizure in question by rec
