tEs indudAble que en- este poema
quiso Ruben elevarse sobre la pu-

sensual hipocresia humana-, pa
ra lograr Ell otro ardor mas vivo
del arte religioso y Ell otro senti-
miento. mas puro del arte cristia-
no, siguiendo la curva de la mis-
ma evoluci6n que nos muestra la
historic de las actividades liberia
les. Sus intenciones miraban, sin
duda, la obra de junction y idle be
lleza del arte wagneriano.
Estaba hastiado sin duda de tan
ta nimia victoria formal, de tanto
retorico triunfo, de tanta sensa-
cion exaltatda y sentia pesar por
SUI alma, madura de otofio, como
un soplo divine, la voluntad de un
canto mas profundo y sincere.

NO EN- NUESTROS POETAS.
RUBEN DARlO.

hApEN DAhiO.
Ell poema inicial de "Cantos de
vida y esperauza" puede ronside-
rarse como ell testamento lirico y
espiritual del gran poeta de Mica
ragua Y del mundo. En- el Sc ha-
l LA sintetizada su manera de con-
cebir ell arte, al mismo tempo que
el sentido humane y divine de su
lfrica. En- el Sc funden ademas las
dos corrientes de inspiration mas
yivas de su obra; ell grave y sose-
gado fl,smen clasico y ell inquieto
y bullente yeneno de arte roman
tico " cristiano. Por su tono ele-
giaco y contrito, tiene este poema
un aire fraterno con ell EclesiGs
| tes y con los salmos de David, al
par que con los poemas romanti-
COS de recondanzas-senala
tie en- ndestra literature, con Ell
Cdnto a Teresa de Espronceda-.
Sin embargo, el verso inicial--
"Yo soy aquel que aver no mas
dec1a-el verso azul y la cancion

reminiscencia clasica- Illego qui

na-(Virgilio.)
LAS sugestiones clasicas y ro'

ma y conciliada-en todo ell poe
ma, cuya sentimentalidad cristia
ma Sc hace suntuosa merced a los
sambolos paganos, como los famo-
SOS temples del renacimiento pom
tificio. Estos dos ascendientes de
arte Sc hermanan en- ell poema
que parece asi escrito por ell poe
ia pagano, aun enamoraGlo de sus
sfmholos gentilicios a la manera
de ciertos padres de la iglesia, 0
penetrado de una presentida au
ra cristiana como la cue vivifica
esa smisteriosa egloga vireiliana
a PoIion, que fue considerable por
ell cristianismo medieval como un
canto mesianico. Pero hay en- el,
sira gspIbargo, una intenei6n de-
cristianismo, una woluntad de fc
nueva, un tono de miserere, que
veces parece triunfar del cara
milo panico. =

Millions of Boys and Girls
Have Physical Defects Which
Impede Their Development

Fifty per cent of 100000 boys and
girls of school age in this country have
physical defects and ailments which
impede their normal development, ac-
cording to the annual report of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national phys
ical education service. The estimate
was made following numerous investi-
cations conducted by members Of the
committee.
A lack of proper physical education,
such as play, athletics, work and gym
nastics was attributed by the commit
tee as the cause for the physical disa-
bility, and broad proglem Of state
and federal legislation for the re-
quired education was urged as means
of bringing children to the proper
standard.
Members of the executive committee
include Major-General w. c. Gorgas,

BUDDING TIME TOO BRIEF

o little buds, break not so fast!
The springs but new,
The skies will yet be brighter blue,
And sunny, too.
l would you might thus sweetly last
TIL this glad seasons overpast,
Nor hasten through.
1t is so exquisite to feel
The light, warm sun;
To merely know the winter done.
And life begun;
And TO my heart no blooms appeal
For tenderness so deep and real,
AS anyone.
OF these first April buds, that hold
The hint of springs
Rare perfectness that May-time brings
So take not WINGS
Oh, lnger, lnger, nor unfold
Too swiftly through the mellow mould.
Sweet growing things!
And Grant birds. and honey bees,
Seek not TO vile:
And, sun, let not your warmest smile
Quite yet beguile
The young peach-boughs and apple trees
To trust their beauty to the breeze;
Wait yet awhile!

Polar Star and Some of
the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the Far North

Most people, if they know nothing
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep its place in the heavens with
out movement of any kind. There are
a great many, however, says the
RehOboth Sunday Herald. who do not
know what a wonderful thing it is, in
the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There is
one fairly bright one, of what is known
as the second magnitude, and another
of the ninth magnitude close to it.
But that is not all. The brighter of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another, or, rather, round
their common center of gravity, like
three children playing ring a ring of
roses"
This secret is revealed to us by what
is perhaps the most astonishing of all
scientific instruments, the spectroscope.
1t not only tells us what the stars are
made of, but whether they are moving
toward us or away from US.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to move as the
others do is that it is nearly in line
with the axis of the earth. Its dis
lance from us is enormous. This can
be judged from the fact that although
the earth in its journey around the sun
is today about 190,000,0O0 miles from
where it was six months ago, that
makes no appreciate difference to its
distance from the pole star. 1t must
therefore be many times 190,O0O,00O
miles away.
