Transplant Many Trees
In La MoncIOa Park.
A B c, Madrid The department of
parks and boulevards is at present en-
gagged in the transplanting of many
large trees in the park Of La Moncloa
ana also in the planting of additional
trees, to add to the arboreal adornment
OF this domain. The trees being trans
planted are moved by tractors. this
method being necessary because Of the
extent OF the earth which is moved with
the roots to insure their growth in the
new locality. 1t has been demonstrated
by many experiments that If enough of
the earth Is taken with the roots there
is never any loss or detriment to the
tree or fronds, regardless of what sea-
son OF the year the TRANSFORMING is
performed. These trees are all for the
beautifying Of the grounds surrounding
the University de la Moncloa.
Begging Taboo in
Colombia Republic.
FL TEMPO, Ibague.-The mayor has
prohibited, by means of decree, public
begging. The same action has been
taken by the authorities of Bogota and

proper channels, and there is never any
necessity for them to go whining about
the public streets and keep assaulting
the passer-by with their eternal impor.
tunities. Many of them are able to
work, but have refrained from that
commendable occupation for so long
they find 1t impossible to do anything
more than engage in their daily lam
entations for charity.
Though the decree against begging
and vagrancy has been in effect for
some days, as yet there is no appre-
ciable reduction In the ranks of these
mendicants, many of whom display the
ravages of disease and deformity to
supplement their demands on the more
compassionate. For the public good, all
these unwholesome sights should be
banished from the streets, either to
asylums or hospitals. and the bodily
able to places where they can earn their
daily bread.
Boxing Crowds

FL Mercurio, Santiago.-A boxing
match in the Centre Carmelo recently
ended in way that satisfied the yearn-
ings of the spectators for blood and ex-
element, but was hardly in keeping
with the canons and traditions of the
Marquis Of Queensbury. Noises Con-
ZaleS and Felix Gonzales, brothers only
in the art of the ring, were boxing for
the city championship, and each found
the other particularly formidable an
tagonist. Round after round was evenly
divided, with growing impatience of the
patrons of the sport, who began vehe-
ment vociferations of "Pegale! Mas
