The mathematician can point his finger
and say, "Here is the missing object,
and though the telescope OF the astrono.
mer is unable to detect the planet during
the season of invisibility, yet can fol-
low it and hold it in my vigorous grasp" /"
Everything was in perfect readiness
for the transit, the aperture of the great
10 inch telescope was contracted to
three inches, the eye protected by
means OF prism and colored glasses ;
the driving clock, which moves the tele.
scope as fast as the earth rotates, and
consequently holding the sun steadily in
the field, was going regularly an assist

chair, watch before him and eve stead

appear. At exactly o'clock, 81 min

certed signal now and there was

Slowly and majestically he invaded
the disc. and at O'Clock, So minutes
and So seconds he was entirely pro-
jected upon the face of the sun. Ii was
truly glorious spec tacle. and realizing
that the phenomenon would not occur
again until 1901. we deemed every mo-
ment precious and studied each phase
OF the transit with watchful eyes.
The herald., 1894-11-11

prepared himself to test the accuracy OF
kepier's predictions and watched the
sun for two days before the date COM
puted. Success finally rewarded his
patience and perseverance,, and the tran
sit occurred five hours after the time
assigned. This wac justly regarded as
c remarkable achievement at the time,
while now the exact time of transit
can be indicated to few minutes or
even eeconGs.
The chief value OF q transit OF Mer-
curry is to more accurately determine
the erretic movements of this planet,
for there are perturbstions in its motion
which cannot be accounted for, but are
probably due to the presence OF intra.
Mercurlal planets which DR.. Swift dis
covered at Denver in 1873.
1t has often been hoped that the OBJ.
servations during a transit would give
to us reliable Information as to the phy-
slcal character Of Mercury, but disap-
pointment has been the result. At Ger
tain translts the planet has been eeen
encircled by luminous white ring OF
light and ascribed to the atmosphere
surrounding 1t. For there is hardly sny
doubt bus that dense atmosphere
around Mercury would produce the ef.
feet described above, With the utmost
straining OF vlalon NO such phenomenon
was visible hare.
The third contact took place at l D.

down in the Santa Barbara channel in
