TRANSIT OF MERCURY.

 Rather Unfavorabis Conditions for Obser-
 yation From tho Yale Observatory.
 The transit ct Mercury was observed u; 'he Yale Observatory Saturday under rather un,ayornbls conditions. the be- g'i ming of the transit eclns Ubscured by" heavy clouds. The atmos, h"rc wns very dense and this made 1t difficult to use the telescopes. The observations obtained. however show that the pro- jected time for the transit was very nearly accurate.
 Dr. Eikin, Of the observatory. said last night that the transi. took place within minute of the time calculated by the astronomical tables. This shows that the tables are very close and that the uniformity of the earth's rotation has not changed to my extent since the tables were gotten up.
 The principal interest in the transit lay in calculating how nearly these ta- bies were correct and thereby deter mining whether the uniformity of thu earth's rotation is changing.
 The last transit of Mercury visible In this locality occurred In 1878. and the observations taken Saturday will be compared with those of tine last transit and the change in the earth's rotation thereby calculated.
 The transit began shortly after 10 o'clock and lasted until about 4:l5. It was only visible with a strong telescope and even through one of the big sky detective agencies man had to know where to look in order to get his eye on l the right snot

Grand Opera House.

Lost In Egypt" a drama encompass ing an American hero In foreign land. written by an American author, should always be subject of unusual interest to the theatergoers.T The critics have al- ways maintained that the characters and incidents of American life do not present sufficient picturesque material for effective dramatic treatment. And with this fact in view MT. Frank Du- mont, the author, has chosen this piece. As a special feature Sid Hassen Ben Ali's wonderful troupe of Arabs, late of Buffalo Bilrs Wild West show, have been engaged at an enormous salary and will be introduced at each perform ance in acts two and three. It requires two enormous specially constructed cars to transport this gigantic concern. There Is also introduced several real Arabian horses, camels and dromedaries-and a real den of monster snakes from the region of the river Nile. imported es- pecially for this production. Look out for the Monday parade to-day.
 Fred Waldman's speciality company will come on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday evenings. With this fine com- pany comes c. A, Samson, the strong est man on earth, the challenger of the world. This remarkable man will lift miniature duplicate of the famous Ferris wheel weighing 4,000 pounds, at every performance, and will lift the champion steel bar weighing 300 pounds with one hand overhead.
 In the lecture hall annex at the Grand opera house the model of the Ferris wheel which Samson, the strong man, will lift on his chest will be on exhi- bition. This elegant piece of mechanism is we'll worth visit. The hall is open free to the patrons of the theater.

A Novelty Coming at the Grand.

A Novelty Coming at the Grand.
The theatre-going public is al
search of novelties, but in this day
with so many stage novelties which
disappoint, the coming Of famous
play like "Wang" is indeed a well
come anticipation. Novelty will,
to certain extent, but most pleas
ingly, also enter into next Thurs
days and Fridays production of
the merry opera, for there will be
many new and pretty faces, many
new, fresh and youthful voices,
new scenery and costumes more
costly than were lavished upon it
in the days when it was an expert
ment. These new features will,
however, be but the settings for
the same merry opera. Those
who never saw it before will
all the more anxiously desire
to hear "The Man With An
Elephant on His Hands," IA Pref
ty Girl, A Summer Night" "You
Must Ask of the Man in the Moon,"
and all the other catchy songs that
have become so popular, but, thank
fortune, have not yet become part
Of the repertoire Of the hand-organ.
The operas mirth-provoking sto-
~, with it's complications involv-
ing an Oriental prince regent and
a Europeanized heir to the throne,
French widows and maidens, Par
isian dancing girls, Cambodian
and Burmese ENJOYS, has never
laid claim to depth, but it has
given many person as delightful
an evening as he could ask for.

seen that there is a wide field open for
the scientist and investigator.
One OF the earliest practical uses OF
electricity was In the sending OF mes
sages over a wire. Prof. Morse fin
ished HIS lire between Washington City
and Baltimore In May, 1874. but for a
long time after this the telegraph was
used only In a sparing manner. Bus
mess men seldom thought Of avaiiing
themselves OF 1t. They were perfectly
content to wait for the slow rssoving
mails. When. In 1856. the Boston Tran
script instructed Its Washington City
correspondent to send ten words per
day By telegraph 1t was considered a
startling piece OF enterprise.
While the telegraph has been used
more than any other form of applied
electricity. comparatively few improve
ments of any note have been made In
1t for quite number Of years. but
stride Is about to be taken that puts 1t
far In advance OF its present position.
a device is being perfected for send
ing messages and having them written
out automatically in Roman character
as rapidly as ten average operators can
work under the present system. The
new system cannot fail to cheaper the
sending of messages. 1t will in due
time do away with the sending OF let
ters by mail. 1t will be strange, in
deed. IL the government does not adopt
1t and bring ii within the reach of all.
