MERCURY'S TRANSIT.
LIE vERRIER's PREDICTION VERIFIED.


INCREASED SPEED IN THE PERIHELIoN-A SPLENDID
DAY FOR STUDYING THE PLANETS PERFORMANCES.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, May G.-The transit of Mercury
was successfully observed to-day in this city, both
at the Naval Observatory and at at Nautical Alma
nae Office. AT the Naval Observatory Professor
Eastman used the large telescope and Professor Hall
superintendent the taking of photographs of the
planet it passed across the surface of the sun.
These photographs were produced by means of the
horizontal telescope and reflector.
Other observations arranged for under the
direction OF the Observatory. Professor Hardness
was at Austin, Tex. Observer Paul was at Hanover,
n. H.; and Mr.. Pritchard was at the Georgetown
College Observatory. Observations were also TO be
made by the different colleges and by private estab-
shments throughout the country, which will report
the results TO the astronomers here.
The weather in Washington to-day could not have
been more favorable for watching this transit and
the results must prove to be entirely satisfactory.
AZ the Nautical Almanac Office, the observations
were Trade by Professor Newcomb and several as
sistants, Who were provided with telescopes. From
these 1t was found that the planet came to view
twenty seconds ahead Oi the time predicted by the
tables of Le NerriCr, and more than minute ahead
OF the American tables These observations entirely

CRANKY-The Eureka Sentinel of August

CRANKY.-The Eureka Sentinel of August
81 relates the following:
In the District Court yesterday afternoon
the examination of an Italian, charged with
insanity, came up. To hear the Italian talk
and answer questions before the Court one
would hardly think him ''off." He proved to
have a wonderful memory of dates, and, as
the Judge remarked, was not bit crazy in
his understanding of the Nevada laws of mar
rlage and divorce But when the witnesses
were called in the case, their testimony showed
him up as being, at least, very eccentric in
dividual At his sage-brush home, at their
breakfast hour, he would regale the ear of his
partner with all manner of hobgoblin stories
about what he had seen the night previous
a white and bay horse were capering about
the premises all night rats, wild geeae and
centipedes were kicking gravel in his eyes; he
would stop vegetable wagons, on their way to
Eureka, take an invoice of their outfits, and
tell the peddler to move on; would play leap
frog from one bunk to another about the house
in the middle of the night, and if he caught
fellow who wouldn't wake up he'd choke him
a little. When brought into town he wanted
to perambulate the streets in a foot racer S
costume; swore that the barber who was dep
utised to shave him looked like murderer,
and not until after much persuasion would he
submit to the tonsorial operation. After all
the above testimony had been delivered before
the Italian he looked as thnugh he wanted to
be ad Judged insane.
