Moon is Very Inconsistent

st. Louis, Feb. 23.---Thc moon is
too inconsistent a planet to govern
the date of Easter, in the opinion of
Rev. NJ. S. Brennan, astronomer
priest of this city, who has expressed
hope that the council of astronomers
called by the late Pope Benedict XIV
for a meeting in Rome next April
will decided to eliminate the moon as
means of determining the date of
the Paschal Feast.
Father Brennan recently suggest
ed that a certain date be fixed or a
certain Sunday, and suggested that
either April 8 or the second Sunday
in April be designated the day on
which the churches celebrate Easter.
The present method of fixing the first
Sunday following the first full moon
after the vernal equinox, Father
Brennan points out, leaves a range
of "a days for the Easter feast, and
by fixing n certain day or a certain
Sunday, he believed, much confusion
could be avoided

In the work on grapefruit storage
the most serious difficulty encountered
was the tendency of the grapefruit to
pit in cold storage; that is, to de-
Velop sunkcn spots in the skin. These
spots did not affect the flavor Of the
fruit, but the appcaran~c was less
attractive and made the fruit un-
marketable in competition with
smooth, yellow fruit. Pitting can be

"Bottle Papers"
Picked up Every Day

Washington. Feb. 22.-Nearly ev-
cry day the photographic Office of
the Navy Department received sew
eral Bottle papers" picked up in the
sea by ships, which while not as
thrilling as the famous "Ms" found
in bottle and revealed by Poe, new
ertheless carry interesting and valu-
able data to the makers of marine
maps and those who seek to make
navigation safe.
These bottle papers are dropped in
the seven seas to study the flow of
currents. Thousands of small slips,
with instructions printed in nine Ian
guages, are sent annually to all
mariners, with the request that they
be filled out, placed in a well-corked
bottle and dropped every now and
then during voyages about the world.
The name of the "dropper," the ship,
the date and the latitude and longi-
tude are recorded. In another space
the finder writes his name, the date
and spot in which the bottle was
found forwarding the slip to the Hy-
geographic Office in Washington.
The data thus secured is used in
checking currents and in correcting
pilots charts. Sometimes the bot
ties drift for thousands of miles and
are years on their erratic cruises,
but when returned, the papers inside
usually carry message of value to
the photographers. Occasionally
there is an unusual tale connected
with their discovery.
Sometime ago bottle with it's pa
per was dropped in the Indian Ocean
and picked up in the Red Sea off
the coast of British Somaliland by a
Mohammedan named Mohamed Mus
tapha, who believed the paper of
mystic or intrinsic value. Being I'M
able to read it's message in any of
the several languages in which it was
displayed, he mounted his camel and
rode miles across the desert to the
nearest British agent. After en-
deayoring to explain the nature OF

Intimate Glimpses
Of Imperial Family

Ekaterinburg, Russia, Feb. o.
(By The Associated Press) s).-Alex-
andra, the late Empress of Russia
never ceased to chafe under her i'm.
prisonment in this city where she was
finally executed but the late EN-
peror Nicholas showed more calmness
and indifference to his fate.
A little booklet recently issued by
+. Bykoff, former chairman of the
Ekaterinburg Soviet, gives many in
innate glimpses at the imperial fam
lily during the months they were pris-
oners of the Bolsheviki in this city
just preceding their execution in
July, 1918.
When the Car and his wife and
part of his family were transferred
from Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg by the
Soviet government, residence in the
center of the city was assigned to
them. 1t was in the basement of this
building that they were shot. A
half-prison regime was established
which did not interfere with the ac-
tivities of the imperial family in
their own quarters.
Before the Romanoffs were per-
mitted to enter their new quarters
the guards searched them. Alex
andra protested bitterly and offered
physical resistance. The Emperor
submitted willingly, but was greatly
perturbed. He paced the room while
the search was proceeding and ex-
claimed, "The devil knows what it
means! Up to now we have met
courteous people and have had decent
treatment"
According to Bykoff, the Soviet Of
ficials made it clear to the Roman
offs that they were not at Tsarkoe
Selo and threats to isolate the EN-
peror from his family if he offered
criticism silenced him.
Nicholas soon realized we were
not Joking" says the book, "and sub
mitted uncomplainingly to the de-
mands of the commandant in charge
of the house. He made few efforts
to chat with the guards, but Alex
andra never ceased breaking rules"
The Romanoffs were permitted to
select their own hours for walking
in the garden where all sorts of tools
were available if they cared to take
more vigorous physical exercise.
Two meals day were supplied to
them from "the best Soviet kitchen
in Ekaterinburg" and they were CIV
en- gasoline primus, or stove, upon
which they could heat their food
Food packages were forbidden to
the imperial family but Bykoff says,
"the sisters in the local convent an
noyed the guards greatly by sending
parcels of biscuits and other delica-
cies which were distributed among
the soldiers"
On Easter the imperial family ask
ed permission to attend church. This
request was denied, but priest was
admitted to their quarters to hold
service and eggs and special cakes
were sent to them by Soviet officials.
