Public Urged to Assist Scientists
 In Checking Paths of Meteors Now
 About to Start Trips Through Sky
Season" for Shower Nears Astronomers Tell How to Time and Locate Course of Heavenly
 Journeys for Sake of Science

about mid November.
 Astronomers are so few that they miss most of the meteors, but Dr. Olivier says volunteers can gather readily Valua ble information. which astronomers are prepared to inter- pret.
 Chart Course in Sky
 Any meteor larger than a star of first magnitude is worth reporting" says the invitation to the public What is desired most of all is the meteor's apparent path across the sky. The stars and consultations serve as ready reference points and the observers should fix the meteor's course among them with all the pre- cision at his command. The hour. minute andif possible the second of the meteor's appearance should be reported
 AS a mechanical aid in fixing the course, many observers find q straight ruler or stick very helpful. The moment a meteor is seen the ruler is held at arms length parallel to the exact path among the stars.
 If a train is visible. it should be reported, with it's duration. which sometimes amounts to several min utcs Likewise sounds of explosion. if any, should be. described and timed. Reports should be mailed to the American Meteor society. Flower Observatory, University of Pennsyl vania.

Philadelphia, July 20 tP)-On tho eye of the 1929 meteor season, an invitation was issued today to the public 10 report all tirehalls and large meteors. Hourly counts of all mcteors, large or small, also are desired.
 The invitation was made by the society. Dr. Charles P. Olivier, pro lessor of astronomy at the Inivvr- .fity of Pennsylvania. The data re- quested are for gaining a better un- derstanding Of the universe outside our earth. and of the earth's uppr" Furthermore the me- teor reports in November may re- veal whether another great metcoriC shower that turns night into day is approaching.
 start About August II
 The last half of the year and the last half of the night is the best time to see meteors. The annual ar rival of the very numerous perseidS is due about August II. In mil November, particularly the 14th. some leonids will appear. The leonids are the meteor swarms that for centuries. about each 33 yeats, have furnished a shower like rain of stars. They missed the earth in 1899. They are due again in 1882 or '33. and astronomers believe tho earth already is near enough to the edges of this swarm for there to he a noticeable increase Of meteors

vas chosen by Richard G. Brophy,
former executive of the Byrd Ant

which to hide from the world, a
story in the Omaha Bee-News said
today.

Coney Island bathing beach last
August saying he was going to
drown himself, Brophy was identi-
fed by the News editor Of the news
paper from a photograph Of men,
bers of the expedition.
Uses Alias
AS Charles Manning Mitchell"
Brophy went to work for the Bee
News as a copyreader late in the
summer, that paper said in its story.
He was sitting at the copy desk
Saturday night when the news edi-
tor noticed the resemblance With
the picture of Brophy. The copy
reader admitted he was BrOphy, 1t
was said, and explained he had tried
to escape troubles which had caused
g. nervous breakdown.
He left the next morning by train
for the east, saying he was going
back to New York to start all over
again" He said his wife and son
we're there.
Praised by Byrd
Brophy, who had won Commander
Byrd's praise for his work as bust
ness manager of the expedition, left
the party of explorers at New
Zealand and returned to New York.
Shortly afterward the suicide note
was found, but police in New York
were skeptical, as a hotel at which
Brophy had lived received inStruc-
tions TO forward his mail to another
address.
The troubles which prompted him
to go through with the suicide ruse
were believed personal and not con-
nected with the Byrd expedition, as
his accounts in that connection were
in good order, the Bee-NewS story
said.
