LoRELEY's' SECOND HEARING.
BeIatcd Production One of Mr..
Gatti-Casaxza,s Experiments.

Catalanrs "Loreley" had it's second
performance at the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening. There was large
audience and much applause. 1t is likely
that the belated production of this nov
city will prove to be one of the happy
experiments of Mr.. Gatti-Casazza's ad-
minlstration. 1t Is not great opera,
nor Is its music of distinguished char.
acter. but 1t contains certain elements
which possess popularity.
The beautiful scene in which the
nymphs of the Rhine make their first
appearance is one of the most attractive
stage pictures ever put on the Metropol-
itan Opera House stage and at the first
performance of the opera it evoked Ions
and warm applause. The bridal scene Is
also unusually pleasing, and the choral
climax, although conventional in idea
and treatment. has theatrical effective
ness.

Like most wise men who have tried
TO sound the psychic depths, he does
not admit that there are ghosts nor
does he deny their existence. Men
OF all the ages and all the climes
have believed, through instinct

Of the brain. Most men have felt
rather than thought that the earth
and its inhabitants are not isolated
from the consciousness OF those bill
lions that are in their narrow cells
forever laid
Whether man may ever find the

The Mountain Lions Cry.
As Heard in Zoos 1t Resembles the
Night Call OF the Cat.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: / have
been interested in the correspondence
relative to the cry of the mountain lion
and have a word of evidence to offer.
We all recognize the great difficulty
OF getting anything very definite about
the cry OF nocturnal animal which is
so shy and so very seldom seen as the
mountain lion. DIR. Merriam's evidence
is negative, while that OF Mr.. Shoe
maker seems positive.
! have not myself anything definite
to offer about the cry of the animal in
the wiids, but a little testimony gath
cred in this very town may be worth
offering.
Ten or n dozen years ago. when walk
ing through the small animal house in
the Geological Park, / stopped for a
moment to look at a three-quarter grown
panther, or mountain lion, that was
standing in a cage broadside to me. II
was not looking at me. While ] stood
there and watched II IL several times
uttered cry OF considerable volume.
which cry resembled. more than any
thing that / can think of--though It
was much louder frequently heard
night call of the domestic cat. This
call may be heard on the backyard
fence pretty much any time in early or
late summer. This was not at all
NEW. but was the much louder cry
which, on stll night, / think could
be heard for two or three city blocks.
IL sounds not unlike the loud, inartcu-
late cry or moan OF child,
The call heard uttered by this lion
was not, I should suppose, loud enough
TO be heard more than two or three
hundred yards, but I can conceive that
n larger lion. calling more earnestly
when the air was stlll or with favor
able breeze. might be heard half mile.
Very oddly. while / was writing this
letter I received from friend who

Mystery Of the Disappearance Of n
Briggs Crew mt Sea.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: have
read with great interest the various let
ters concerning the mystery OF the Cy-
clops and other vanished ships. What I
consider the greatest mystery OF the sea
OF all time is the loss of the Marie Ce-
leste, a brig which, write from memory
left Boston for Genoa somewhere about
1885.
She was spoken by British bark one
day and two days later was picked up
with no one aboard. Ashes in the galley
stove were still warm, there were clothes
in the usual disarray in the forecastle.
the remains of finished meal were upon
the cabin table. Everything. In fact. was
as one would expect TO find things aboard
a vessel of the type in ordinary circum-
stances. with the one exception that from
that day to this no word or sign has
been had from any of the crew.
The lifeboats were intact. As far as
ever / have been able to learn no satls-
factory explanation has ever been ad-
vanced as to where her crew went, how
they went and. above all. why they
went.

be some old shellbacks who recall the
case and may be able to give a more
accurate account of II.

Kansas Checks the Wind.

One OF the handicaps imposed by
nature on farmers in certain locali-
ties is wastage OF topsoil, which is
blown away by high winds after al.
ternate periods Of freezing and thaw-
ing which pulyerize the earth.
Much OF the trouble from this
source has developed in territory
where there Is a limited rainfall.
Kansas has been sufferer in the
past and the State authorities have
given much thought to the problem.
County agents employed by the Kan
sas State Agricultural College in CO
operation with the United States De
partment OF Agriculture have found
that the trouble may be overcome to
a great extent by running what are
known as lister burrows at intervals
OF about twenty feet at right angles
to the prevailing winds. A double
mold board plow is used for this pur-
pose. These burrows must be re.
newed periodically, and where the
trouble is aggravated additional fur.
rows may be installed.

What Europe Needs.
Ordered System Of Government and
ENCOURAGEMENT TO Trade.
From Westminster Gosette,

from westminster Go.etfc.
What IS the one thing necessary for
the rehabilitation of central Europe? 1t
Is that they should drop the plea of
political and international nccessities'
and concentrate upon the economic
needs OF the world. These economic
needs require, as Mr.. McKenna says.
the reestablishment of genuine peace
and an ordered SYSTEM OF government
throughout Europe" To be even on the
road TO this consummation we must
abandon the idea OF exactng an impos-
sible indemnity by penalties and sane
tions and be content with a moderate
settlement which can be llquidated In a
reasonable time.
We must encourage trade to flow
freely through all available channels in
stead OF throwing up barriers which pre-
vent customers from paying up for what
we sell TO them. We must discourage
the violent partisanship OF the new ma
tionalties and show them the necessity
Of helping and trading with each other.
We must look TO trade to cure Bolshc-
vism and think OF Russia as an eco
nomic rather than a political problem.
We must abjure all military adventures
and be prepared to take risks In cutting
military and naval expenditure lest the
greatest risk OF killing industry with tax
alton prove a certainty.

Scoutmasters Wanted.
Seventeen Boy Scout Troops in Man.
haitian Are without Leaders.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Seven
teen Boy Scout troops are to-day with
out leaders In the borough of Manhat-
tan. Nearly twenty other groups or
boys are asking the Manhattan Scout
Council to organize them into troops.
1t cannot be done. Why? Because there
are not, apparently. seventeen or more
men between 25 and 35 willing to devote
few hours a week to the boys of this
borough who need leadership.
What Is the reason for this? Is the
work difficult and onerous? On the con-
trary, 1t Is such as ought to appeal to
all red blooded men who are sportsmen,
woodsmen or athletes. One night
week and an occasional Saturday or
Sunday afternoon will enable even a very
busy man to render effective service.
The boys of this borough who ask
leadership ought not to have to beg the
college men or ex-service men OF this
community to come to. their aid. There
should be hundreds of willing volunteers.
Every employer In this city knows that
experience In leadership is valuable
asset. They are watching for men with
such experience when choosing candi-
dates for promotion and positions or
responsibility.

The final evening concert OF the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra for the pres
ent season was that given in Carnegie
Hall last night. The program COM
prised Schubert's symphony In c major.
Rimsky- -Korsakov's Russian Easter"
and several vocal numbers. These were
two airs from cantatas Of Bach. namely.
Lost Is My Dear Jesus and Take
Thou for Thy Very own" and three of
the five settings Of Irish songs by
Charles Martin Loeffler which he calls
Irish Fantasies for Voice and orches-
tra." The singer was John Mccormack.
The lyrics OF Mr. Loeffler heard last
evening are Nos. 2, and s from the set.
The poems are Yeats's THE Host OF the
Air. and 1.-The Fiddler of Dooney" and
THE Song of Caitilin-ni-Holahan' by
w. Hefferman. These are good texts.
poetic in content, rich In character and
inviting musical treatment. Mr.. Loef-
fler yielded quite readily to the tempta-
ton to compose this music. His Is a

the treasures of folk lore. That he has

Diable" and his grimly tragic Death
OF Tintagiles." Perhaps most of his ad-
mirers did not know how delightfully."-
and jovially Irish he could be till they
heard his Fiddler Of Dooney" last
night
The songs are all good, though they
are not constructed with view to vocal
exhibition. They are literally fantasies
for voice and orchestra. in which the
instrumental background is descriptive
and illustrative and also plays the chief
part in creating the mood. Folk tunes
play their part In the web of melody
and excellent instrumental characterize
ton Is conspicuous. Mr.. Mccormack
sang the songs admirably and at no
time this season had the orchestra been
heard to better advantage than I'm these
numbers.
Mr.. McCormack's delivery Of tho Bach
airs was noteworthy for its fine dignity.
its sincerity and its artistic conviction.
Those who hear this tenor only in his re-
citals do not know his highest achieve
ments. The Boston Symphony musicians
played Schubert in solid and opulent
manner which seemed to give the audi
erce great satisfaction.
