Comet Theory

A number of such outbursts have been noted over a very long period of time.

The reality of the Star of Bethlehem is not questioned by these debaters

One famous astronomer has aug- gested that a feasible explanation was the appearance of a comet.

But. In reply to this, it is point- ed out that the Magi would be men who had great knowledge of the skies and would know the dif Terence between a romet and the strange light which they followed.

Scientists' Bellot

Astrologers of those days knew about cometa, and, as others were recorded by them, had a new comet been sighted at the time it must

have been recorded.

WORSE PLACES, HE DECLARES

"ONDON is a bright, cheerful, salubrious Hell certainly, but still to my mind-Hell” Lanid Mr. Max Beerbohm, the famous caricaturist and author, in a B.B.C, broadcast talk during one of his visits from Italy.

He spoke in a "London Revisited" series and conceded "that in some waya it is a better pince than it was In my day and in days before !mine,"

True Londoner

Mr. Beerbohm, who was born within the sound of Bow Bells, left London in 1910 and revisits England at intervals of two or three years.

"London," he complained in his broadcast, "has been cosmopoli- tanlaed, democratised, commor- etailsed, mechanised, standardised, vulgarised HO extensively that one's pride in showing it to a foreigner in changed to a whole; some humility."

He also criticised our "appall- ingly bleak yet gurish tene- ments," which he described as "monstrosities" which looked Hike "Improper workhouses."

"When one thinks," he said, "of the significant houses, the old habitable homes, that were de- molished to make way for them, then one's heart sickens and one's tongue curses the age into which one has survived."
