The Planet Mercury.

There are probably not fifty persons
in Memphis who have ever seer the
planet Mercury, the enc nearest the
sun. So favorable an opportunity for
discovering her location as the present
will not, perhaps, occur again in a life
time. l have looked for her a thou
sand times, but never saw her until
last night. Copernicus, born in Prus.
STA in 1472, who spent his life in the
study Of astronomy. first discovered
the correct motion Of the planets and
demonstrated the theory of the uni
verse, for which he was excommuni
Gated, by order of the Vatican at
Rome, and living a hundred years
before the invention of the telescope
and never saw the planet. The reason
sho is so seldom seen is not that she
is so seldom visible, but because there
is no object in the western heavens to
mark her locality. Mercury isnow at
her greatest distance from the sun,
and very near, apparently, to
Venus. The planet may be
seen from half-past seven until nine
O'Clock all this week, but the best
time to look for it in this locality is
about fifteen minutes before eight. 1t
is about four times the diameter of
moon north of Venus, and about me-
half that distance nearer the horizon
1t is better to look for it early in the
evening while it is high enough in the
heavens to be above the mist which
arises from the river and marshes Of
Arkansaw. Teachers should request
their pupils to look for it, as the time
will surely come during the life Of all
when it will be something to say they
have e the planet.

srEss Of ssDEsx STEAMSHIPS.

Thirty years ago 16 days was fair al
lovance for the passage between Eng
laid and New York BY steam. By gradual
steps tho point Was reached whea ii days
was the minimum, and this startled the
world. Then began q rivalry between
the Inman and White Star lines, at
tended by q succession of runs showing
. gradual increase Of speed, which
proved Q great advertisement for these
lines. In 1871 the average time Of a
crack voyages bysthese lines was days,
l6 h0ols and 5 minutes. The Adriatic's
begt Westward time was q minutes less.
Il should be remembsred that the west
ward passage is generally longer than
in the other direction, owing to westerly
winds and the Calf Stream. In emuls-
ton of this speed in 1871 the City of
Berlin, of the tnmAn line, made the tFip
to Queenstown from New York in
days, II hours and II minutes, and in
the Same year the Britannia, of the
White Star line, crossed from Queens
town in days, 10 hours and 50 min
utes. In 1873 q new rival appeared in
this field, the Arizona, Of the Guion
line. This steamship made the eastward
passage in 1880 in days, 10 hours and
10 minutes, and In one trip in 1881 she
lessened this time about hours. This
seemed to b about the best that could
be expected Of these superb ships. when
the new Guion steamer, Alaska, after a
number of astonishing runs. accom-
plished the westward passage between
the two ports. on April IL, 1882. in Z
days, 6 hours and 20 minutes, actual
time, against heavy seas. In q subse-
quent trip eaatvard she ran the distance
in days and % hours, actual time. In
this, the quickest passage ever made
across the Atlantic, the Alaska travelled
1895 knots, being an average Of about
4ls11 knots per day for seven successive
days. It will be observed that the in
crease of speed has been graduated in |
proportion tn the gradual increase of
size. The ships Of 1850 were rarely |
much over 2j00 tons, and were barely |
900 feet long. Now the average length
OF ocean steamers is upward Of 400 feet. |
while 500 feet is not uncommon. The |
City of Rome is $50 feet long and regis |
tiers 1896 tons; the Ssrvia is $50 feet and |
500 tons; the Alaska il so feet and |
1892 tons. The Austral. intended for |
the Australian trade, 474 feet long and |
IS feet, 3 inches broad, and registers |
$500.
