The transit of Mercury today is an inter-

sit OF Mercury takes place when the planet
crosses the plane of the earth's orbit and is
In the same straight line between the earth
and sun. The planet may then be seen as
black disk moving across the face of the sun.
As 1t happens this takes place about Noyem

classes, the May and November transits.
But 1t does not happen every year that Mer-
curry goes between the sun and the earth on
such a plane as to be seen as black disk on
the face OF the sun. In the present century
there are nine November transits in 1902.

Of the planet the transit will occur when the
sun is below the horizon to an observer so
far east as Maine. The Pacific States, how
