teor swarm is merely the remains of comet which has been torn apart and stretched out along it's path by sun, and that comet is the densest part of the swarm. On the whole, this theory is probably the true one, but the exact connection between comets and meteor swarms has not yet been fully investigated.
 THE PLANETS IN APRIL
 Mercury is in the morning sky throughout the month, reaching it's sreatest distance west of the sun on r7rii r.. This will be an unusually favorable atongation, for the planet tren rises almost due east, one and crle- quarter hours before sunrise. It may be observed for several days. be- fore and after the date mentioned.
 Venus is still in the morning sky but it is rapidly approaching the suns fays. It rises a little south of the east point of the horizon about one hour before sunrise on April 4 and at the end of the month it rises in the northeast, 40 minutes before the sun On the evention of Venus and Mercury and on the next morning they may be seen quite close together in the sky Venus being about + degrees south
 
 of Mercury.
 Mars is in it's most favorable po- sition for observation of the entire year. Is is in opposition with the sun or April 21 and is nearest the earth at midnight of April 27 At the lat ter date it is but 5400o, 900 miles away. During the month the planet will be seen to retrograde rapidly into Virgo, passing two degrees south of the star at E on April 13
 Jupiter. which is stiif high in the southern heavens. will also retrograde until April 3, but after this date it will resume it's eastward motion. The planet and Neptune remain close to one another throughout the month It may be remembered that Jupiter. in it's westward motion. passed Neptune on March 12. It will again pass the very distant planet at il p. m. on April 19 This will afford an unusually favorable opportunity for the observer to find the faint planet. for at this instant it will be exactly fifty five minutes south of Jupiter. Many in- , .eresting phenomena of Jupiter's sa- ! tellites occur during the present month; these are most numerous on | the evenings and nights of April 10.

It was found that it had been be- fore observed and entered in our cata- logues as an eighth magnitude star, so that it was recognized to be a- remark able variable star. but not new one.
 A little above and to the right of k there is another celebrated variable, dis covered century and a quarter ago, which, when brightest throws out zoo times as much light as when tfaintest. And in 1876 a new star appeared in this constellation which rose from invisiblity to a bright naked eye star in only four hours and in few days had become all most entirely invisible again, The last object may still be seen as a very faint fifteenth magnitude star in the largest telescopes. But the cause of these sud den and enormous variations in bright ness is wholly unknown.
 The brightest star of the Northern Crown at F, is remarkable in that it be- longs, with the five inner stars of the Great Dipper tmarlzed K in Figure D, and Sirius at H. to a cluster of stars moving together through aur great tar cloud We are so near this moving group that it's bright stars now look to us widely separated in the sky, but after time counted in tens of millions of years, they would be seen as thelcompact swarm which they really are.
 The shape of this moving cluster is pe- culiar It is very much flattened or disc shaped; it's extreme diameter is about no light years, and it's thickness only about eight light years. Its individual suns are all moving through space in parallel paths with a uniform speed of eighteen miles a second Doubtless there are also great numbers of faint stars which be- long to this swarm. but the motions or the fainter stars have not yet been so well determined, owing to the absence of early observations that we cannot as yet identify these.

THE APRIL SHOOTING STARS

From a point, M slightly above the bright Vega, at N, there dart outward in all directions the blush, swiftly moving April shooting stars. On this year we will have an unusually favorable opportunity to observe them. for as the moon is new on April IS, the observation will not be at all interfered with by moonlight. The observer will however, get the most sat isfactory results by waiting until toward midnight, or even later. when Lyra IS high in the sky, for then numbers or shooting stars may be seen which would have been invisible when the constella- tion was nearer the ground.
 If for each shooting star observed it's path is drawn on chart of the stars, tie paths produced backward will all meet near the point M This is merely the vanishing point of the innumera- ble parallel paths in which the little particles of the stream are moving when they collide with our air and are so rendered luminous and visible to us by friction. It is probable that a few shooting stars which do not be- long to the Lyrid swarm will be seen to cross the region on which attention is concentrated. Especially the ob- server will probably see few mem bers of the fainter shower of the Co., ronids. which dart outward in all di- rections from a point in Corona near . bright star at Y. The pdrtlcies of ;his latter swarm are so widely sca\ red that our earth meets them between April 12 and June 20. All of ti.ese weeks, 1t occupies in passing fSroogh this swarm. and occasional sIooting stars are to be expected on aIsy evening between these dates.
 When the vanishing point or "Ra- diant,' has been carefully located among the stars. we can find the path pursued by the stream of particles about the sun. It was thus found that the path of ths Lyrid swarm is identi- cal with that of the first comet of 1s61 and several other similar CO., ircidences are now known In fact many astronomers believe that me-

Differences of opinion over suit
brought in Boston by the trustees of
the Christian Science Publishing So
ciety to restrain the officials of the
Mother Church from interfering with
the society's publications have brought
about a split in the Seventh Church
of Christ, Scientist, 522 West 112th
Street
Wentworth Byron Winslow, who after
helping to organize the church two
years ago aided in the building of it's
s250,0oo edifce, has been ousted as
first reader About one-third of the
congregation, who sympathized with
him and refused to sign resolutions
branding some of the Boston officials
as "disloyal," have Joined Mr.. Win,
slow in the opening of new church.
The new church is to be known as the
Thirteenth Church of Christ, Scientist.
It's members, who are meeting tenn
porarily in Leslie Hall, Broadway and
Eighty-third Street, include William
P. VOORHEES,, formerly trustee OF
Seventh Church. who also was ousted.
Refuses to Complain
"I was chosen as first reader of Sew
enth Church for a period of three
years." said Mr.. Winslow yesterday.
"They ousted me without preferring
any charges. However, | make no COM
plant because I do not believe in
legal fights. God will settle these dis
putes."
Dissension in the Seventh Church

developed on February %, when the
resolutions were adopted. These reso-
lutions set forth:
"This is very crucial moment in
the growth of our beloved cause and
also in that of Seventh Church.
"Dsloyalty to the manual of the
Mother Church and TO the directors
seems rampant throughout the field.
"This disloyalty has tried to gain a
footing in Seventh Church. Loyalty
to a disloyal student of Christian Sci
ence is considered disloyalty in itself"
Disloyalty Demand Made
The resolutions then demand that no
persons in the church be permitted to
hold office who refuse to declare pub
licly that certain officials in Boston are
disloyal ana who refuse to give their
Neal, Edward A. Merritt, William R.
Rathvon and Annie M. Knott, directors
of the Mother Church.
Mr.. Winslow refused to affix his
signature. He then was required to
read from his pulpit an announcement
of his own removal and of meeting
to be held on February 27 for the Sc
lection of his successor. His successor
is John Jabury.
Mean time some of the persons who
were referred to in the resolution as
"disloyal" threatened to seek legal re-
dress. Several attorneys, including
Charles E. Hughes, who is one of the
legal advisers of the Christian Science
Publishing Society, were consulted.
This resulted in another meeting of the
congregation, who repudiated the reso-
lutions but did not recall Mr.. Winslow.

Shipper, II, Gives
His Health Rules
Don't Worry, Flee Fonat-
ics, Says Retiring Danish
Captain on Last Trip

Captain A. G. Thomson, veteran COM
modoro of the Scandinavian-Ameri
Line fleet, made his last westward trip
as master yesterday, when he
brought in the Frederik VIII on her
run from Copenhagen. He is seventy
one years old, and on his return to
Denmark he will retire on pension al
most equal to full pay.
Captain Thomson has been a sailor
man for fifty-fiye years, and has been
with the Scandinavian-American Line
for thirty-nine years. AS master he
has made 223 round trips between New
York and Copenhagen, and has never
had mishap or lost life.
Years have not bent his frame nor
have they warped his geniality, for he
has followed a few good rules in life.
He believes that mans age should
not be reckoned in the years he has
lived, but by the spirit of youth within
him.
81 have lived through seventy-one
summers" he said, "but am really no
order than l feel, and / feel about
forty. You ask for my rules of living?
l never have worried. / have faith in
mankind. I fee from fanatics (you
have some here to legislate prohibition
for you). l eat plenty, but not too
much, and | try to get at least five
hours sleep a day. keep my feet
warm, my head cool, my conscience
clear and my lungs full of fresh ocean
air."
Asked what he regarded as his most
commendable achievement on the sea,
he replied: "Offhand, l should say it
was the taking Of won Bernstorff out of
America on the Frederik VIII"

Jersey Pushes
Fight igh on Dry
Law to Court
State Attorney General Files
Bill of Complaint Against
18th amendment and
Volstead Act i'm Capital

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The fight
of Governor Edwards of New Jersey to
have the Eighteenth Amendment de-
clared null and voil and prevent the en-
forcement Of the Volstead act advanced
step further to-day. Attorney Gen.
eral Thomas F. McCran of New Jersey,
acting under the direction of the Gov
ernor, filed with the Supreme Court Of
the United States bill of complaint to
restrain the government from enforc-
ing the national prohibition act within
the confines of New Jersey.
The bill is directed against Attorney
General Palmer and Daniel C. Roper,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The
filing Of the bill of complaint follows
the passage by the New Jersey Legis-
lature and the signing by Governor Ed
wards Of bill permitting the manu-
facture and sale Of beer containing
$50 per cent alcohol. Attorney Gem
cral McCran will appear before the
court on Monday ready to proceed with
the case or present additional data, as
the court may direct. New Jersey will
proceed alone on the test as a s1v-
creign state whose rights have been in
vsded.
Attorney General McCran takes the
position that the right of the Federal
Congress to legislate under the Eigh-
teenth Amendment, should the amend
ment be held valid, is restricted to the
exterior concerns OF the United States,
such as imports and exports and to the
regulation Of commerce among the
states as heretofore. He charges that
in all other matters of enforcement the
power is vested in the several states.
Charges Defects in Amendment
The bill charges that the Eighteenth
Amendment is null and void for the
following reasons:
81. That the alleged Eighteenth
is not proper amendment
under Article v of the Constitution.
There is no power in the Congress to
propose an amendment regulating con-
duct and morals, and that Article v per
miJs only such amendments as are in
the nature of alterations or additions
within the scope Of the Federal Con-
stitution.
"2. There is no power in the states
to ratify such a proposal Of amend
ment as is contained in the so-called
Amendment.
49, That two-thirds of the members
of both houses of Congress did not
deem such an amendment necessary
