ANYHOW WE GOT SYZYGY

That's the worst OF this comet busi-
ness. II has shattered the popular
faith In astronomers. When no two
of the elect agree as touching any one
particular point, what are we to
think?
But there Is one thing. at least.
that Halley's comet left us. That is a
renewed, revived and renovated inter-
est in syzygy. Let us be thankful for
this small legacy.
"Syzygy" used to be In the list CT
words pasted in the back OF the
teachers spelling book, as a supple
mentary supply TO be used when II
came about time to bring the spelling
school to close. When the list was
sprung the contending lines were
,hinned as a Calling gun might thin
q Grecian phalanx. Syzygy was an
esoteric word then. We never
dreamed that 1t really meant anything.
Now. thanks to the comet, we know
what II means. II means-just mo-
ment, while we refer to the encyclo-
pedia once more
II means the conjunction or oppo-
sition of a planet with the sun, or of
any two OF the heavenly bodies 1t
might be well to add that "epirrhe-
matte syzygy" (prosody) means the
last four parts OF the parabasis-that
is. the strophe or ode, epirrhema. an
tistrophe or antode, and antepirrhema.
the choric as distinguished from the
nionodie part OF the parabasis. Also
"syzygetic" means pertaining TO a
linear relation-that is. to a polynom-
ial linear In the variables"
II Is profoundly satisfying to know
this II the comet had not passed we
might never have known. So. after
all, the comets visit has not been In
vain.

Mr.. Lauder is pianist Of the first

During his stay in Europe he was
closely associated with many of the
greatest musicians: List, Wagner.
Sophie Menter, SgambatI Raff and
many others, of whom he gives in
terestlng accounts based upon the au-

with them.
Mr., Lauder has played before the
late Pope Leo XIII and the royal

his tours over this country he has
given over five thousand recitals
