SOME VARIATIONS OF TIME.

PASADENA, Nov. 10-The transit of
Mercury was observed to-day at Lowe OBJ
servatory. Echo Mountain. BY DIR. Lewis
Swift, with the 16-inch telescope of a
power of two hundred diameters. Success
was attained in all four contacts. Not a
cloud was visible. No portion o. the planet
was visible off the SUMS disk, and while on
the sun nc circle Of light surrounding he
planet could be seen by the closest scru-
tiny. The black drop interfered with
the exact determination of time of con-
facts, which differs somewhat from compu-
tatiOns made farther north. Time of in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-The transit of
Mercury was observed at the Naval OBJ
servatory to-day under the direction OF
Professor William Hoskner, astronomer.
The first and second contacts were OBJ
served most Satisfactorily, but because the
sun was obscured by cloud at the time
OF the third and fourth contacts, which
should have occurred about 4:12 p. NJ, no
observations could be made.
Between IL 4. NJ. and P. NJ 131 photo
graphs were taken with photohectograph.
The first contact occurred at 10 81, which
is about two minutes later than the time
indicated by the calculations.
This fact shows there is some inaccuracy
in the tables by which the time for the
transit was computed, and it is hoped
facts ascertained to-day will result in cor
recting this error. but for this very
elaborate calculations will be necessary,
and it will be some time before their re-
suit will be known.
The transit was witnessed By several dis
tinguished people, including Mrs. Cleve-
land, Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham.

Lamont, wife of the Secretary of War

Depriving Boston Girls of Their Fa-
vorite Luncheon.

Considerable interest Is being manifested In
regard TO the luDcheons now provided at recess
time for boys and girls in the high schools. AT
almost every high school in the city the major
iiy of the pupils buy their luncheons from The
lunch-cOunter kept by the iauitor and the food
so provided consists largely OF pies and cakes
"hakehouse stuff as some people call it-and
pickles.
The ianitors keep that kind OF food because
the pupils viii buy it in preference TO other
more wholesome kinds, and also because there
is probably more profit in it. Nevertheless, The
parents OF the pupils are anxious that some dill
ferent system may be adopted in the matter OF
furnishing luucneonS. Thy think IL high time
that something was done about 1t, for in schools
Wherr there are no lunch counters, DeddlerS of
cheap candy, cocoanut cakes and other I'M
wholesome compounds make their appearance
at recess, ana are generally well patroniZed by
the hungry boys and girls.
The first official step toward lettering this
state of things was taken yesterday, when an
order was passed by the School Board prOvid
Ing that all luncheons sold IN the public schools
should be such as are approved by the COM
mittes on hygiene and physical training. More-
over, ;he committee was instructed 10 report at
the next meeting OF the board plan for pro-
viding suitable luncheOns at proper places for
the High School pupils.
just what the committee Intends to do is
hard 10 say. but several persons interested are
rangement with the New England Kitchen,
whereby soups, sandwiches, milk and other
wholesome articles Of food may be furnished
directly 10 the pupils al moderate prices. The
Kitchen has its main station on Pleasant street
and another station at the North End.
is thought that soups might be carried from
the Kitchen 10 the schools in tanks. just as
coffee Is sometimes transported, and In that
way might be served hot Such a system of
providing luncheons would be more favorable
10 the health OF the pupils. and therefore more
acceptable 10 the parents As for the old SyS-
tenn the Ianltors are not thought 10 merit any
blame. Tor they simply provided what the
pupils would buy; but now that the committee
has tas en- the m after in hand, IL is likely that
most pupils Will have 10 give up the practice of
making luncheon on an eclair, piece OF PIE,

TWO BIG CONTRACTS.
Extensive Work to Be Done in
JaDan

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 1O.-William G.
Nerrls, who went to Japan year ago to
represent syndicate of Chicago mer-
chants. has secured two of the largest con-
tracts ever awarded American firms.
One goes to Armour s. Company
and is for canned corn beef, to be
supplied the Japanese army. The other is
a $4,000 contract for csst-iron pipe, to he
used In extending the Toxic water works.
The pipe will be made in Alabama and
sent here for shipment, the American
firm having met the competition of Eng
lish. French and Belgian bidders.
The Chicago syndicate, which Mr.. Norris
represents, was organized just after the
Worlds Fair as result of the expressed
desire of the japanese commission 20
stimulate trade with America.
The United States imports goods worth
S25, 000,00 from Japan yearly. and exports
to that country amount to S5,000,0 600. Ii
is believed by those interested that this
trade can be evened up.
