Old Earth Scheduled to
 Pass Comet This Evening

Chicago, April t6 Pi-This old earth which has brooked no inter- ference with the even tenor of its course through untold centuries, will renew acquaintance tonight with what may be the remnants Of comet that went to pieces ages ago,
 But as on every year In the past, the mundane sphere will calmly go about its business as If nothing at all had happened. For the curious inhabitants of this planet, however, there will be display Of fireworks in the sky as the periodic swarm Of meteors known as the lyraids enter the earths atmosphere and arc ---n- Sumet
 The lyraids, which appear every year between April l6 and %, with the greatest pyrotechnical display on tho @ist, received their name from tho fact that they appear 10 radiato rom Inc direction Of the constclla- lion Of Lyra, which contains the brilliant star Vega,
 The best view Of the meteors may be obtained by watching the north eastern sky during the evening hours.
