Proof by Figures,

Referring to the figures in the ''exhibit" of the Merchants Electric Light and Power company, the Boston Courier says: s.We have personal knowledge that they are with in the fact, being underestimated on income and fully up to the actual expenses. The exhibit is a very iattering one for the Mer- chants and should place it at once in the front rank of investment securities. This company is not an experiment., but has an established business iu active working order. and the new central station, now being fitted up at Nos. 197, 199, POI and POS Congress street, will be the largest and most complete electric arc-ighting station yet known. The management is vigorous one, and investors in the stock can do so with confidence that the business will be conducted upon an intel- hgent and economical basis ," And the Post, referring to the same s'exhibif," says: s'1,his makes the stock, when the station is com plete and in operation, worth $20 per share, which will be good news to those who were wise enough to buy when the stock could be had for $10 per share, and will be of great interest to all who have money to invest at the present price, $12.50 per share Buyers at the present figure will realize at this rate g per annum on every $12. .50 invested, or 16 per cent, which certainly is Rn attraction.

The Wovember pTool1.

The November moon fulls on the 14th at
 11:53 o'clock in the morning. None of the planets lie near the moon until she nearly reaches the full, when she is in conjunction with Neptune, the planet being quarter of a degree south. On the 18th at monday the moon is in conjuction with Saturn, being 10 2 south. Observers in some localities in such declination will see Saturn occulted, this being the eighth annual occultation of the planet that has taken place during the year. On the 18th the moon is at her nearest point to Jupiter; on the 20th she is near Mars; on the 23d she is near Uranus. On the 2Oth the moonis in conjunction with Mercury. On the 26th, the day before the first quarter, the moon occults Beta Capricorni, 8 star of the third magnitude in the constellation Capri cornus, The disappearance or immersion of the star occurs at five minutes after o'clock in the evening, Washington mean time. The emersion, or reappearance, takes place at 4:O9 o'clock, the occultation continuing 59 minutes The phenomena is beautiful one, and worth taking pains to see, while the hour of the exhibition is so convenient. As the moon travels from new to full with her dark edge foremost, the dark edge will first over take the star. Observers will see it appar- ently plotted from the sky, as it disappears behind the dark portion of the moons disc Journal
