Baumgardt Tells
Romance of Stars
Lecturer Before Large Audience
Humanizes His Discourse on
Sun, Moon and Mars.

Tho romance OF the universe would
be a better title for the final lecture
Of the Baumgardt season. instead OF
An Evening With the Stars" as the
title was given at the Belasco last
evening.
The popular idea OF scientific study as
a dry and uninterestina pursuit was
completely shattered by the manner in
which the lecturer presented his sub
ject to one Of the largest audiences
that has yet greeted him in this city.
The stars were his subject the philos-
ophy Of the universe formed the bur-
den OF his discourse. Beginning with
an Introduction in which he aimed to
prepare his hearers for the vastness Of
the world beyond the earths atmos-
phers and the tremendous activity of
the forces OF nature in all directions
that mans exploring eye has penetrat-
ed he told something Of how 1t has
been possible TO see and understand
what Is in the heavens
He gave brief description of the use
Of a telescope. its purpose, and the re-
suits that have been obtained
Then the study of astronomy was
commenced in earnest with views Of
the SUM- the moon. Mars and others OF
the stars. Mr.. Baumgardt gave life and
humanity to the subject. He stated
'hdt tne average human Delng considers
everything from human standard. He
begged his hearers to fOrsake that
standard for once and judge OF what
is uanspiring in the ether without other
standard than limitless space But he
declared that this was almost too much
for the imagination, and he. therefore,
really humanzed his subject. his dis
course being as much OF original phil
osophy as 1t was of science.
In the afternoon Mr. Baumgardt de-
voted himself to an exposition Of the
life and work Of Richard Wagner and
the operas OF Wagner. His lecture
showed the result Of the deepest study
Of the life Of the great composer and a
complete understanding Of the philoso-
ply Of his works.

No Profit In Irish Sugar seet..


While sugar beets can be success
fully grown in Ireland. writes Consul
Wesley Frost, from Queenstown, their
culture would probably not be profit
able, according to statement just
issued by the head of the departn ent
Of agriculture and technical instruc-
tion for Ireland. The fact has been
established that a normal price for
sugar beets will yield less per acre
than the normal prices for potatoes
or mangels. AS the sugar beet indus
try would not be successful under the
ordinary conditions of peace, the de-
partment does not feel prepared to
take. directly or indirectly, any re-
sponsibility for advising Irish farmers
to grow beet root" 1t is added that
whatever may be the results of Eng.
lands exclusion of sugar, therefore, in
Scotland and England, it seems safe
to assume that sugar production will
not be developed in Ireland.-New
