why Copernicu. Never Saw Mercury.


To most people, says Mr.. Percival
Lowell in The Atlantic, Mercury is
known chiefly as being very difficult to
see, and to be seen at all it must be
looked for low down in the twilight
sky at certain specified times during
certain equally specified seasons of the
year. Seeing him is enhanced by the
rumor that the great Copernicus died
without ever having done SO.
He is, however, not SO difficult to de-
tect as this probably true fable about
Copernicus has led many to suppose
Two impediments to Mercury's observa-
tion stood in Copernicus' way-the one
that Copernicus lived very far north,
the other that the mists at the mouth Of
the Vistula rose nightly to obscure the
twilight sky. The latter obstacle is
evident. as it made Mercury the reverse;
the former will be none the less appar.
ent when we reflect that the path i'll
which all the major planets travel is in
northern ATTITUDES greatly bowed to the
horizon. In consequence, that path is
subject for long distance from the sun
to all those atmospheric disturbances
peculiar TO the horizon, disturbances
which make observations near it prac.
tically impossible, and the farther north
the greater the difficulty.

to speak and is receiving general edu.
cation in spite of his triple aflliction.
The boy is Orris Benson, and he is max
ing such remarkable progress that his
case almost rivals in interest that of the
celebrated Helen Keller, who has made
such wonderful mental advancement
under similar circumstances.
When he was years old, Orris was
afflicted with disease which left him
sightless, deaf and dumb. For the next
Ave years he existed merely as a plant
would exist. growing physically. but
with all his mental faculties pbscured.
He could neither SEES his parents nor
hear their voices, and he had no way Of
learning anything about the world
around him.
At the age of years h. was admit.
Bed to the New York institution, aud
since theR his education has been grad.
pally progressing, OF conrFe the proc.
ess was painfully slsw. AT first he
learned the sign language, Nv which
words are spelled out by pressing the
fingers on the palm of the hand. Then
came the more difficult process Of teach
ing him to speak. 1t required a great
amount of patience from both the teach
eF and the pupil. For instance, to lonru
how the cultural sounds were made he
placed the fingers of one hand on his
teachers throat and those of the Other
on his own. For every sound made in
speaking the English Language the yo-
cal organs assume O different position.
There are 40 Of these positions, and Or
ris learned them all after a years train
ing. I
Then followed the task Of combining
these sounds so as to form words. AT
first his attempts at speaking were mere
ly mechanical, but be soon began to 90
it intelligently. and from that time on
his progress has been so rapid that his
teachers have been astonishcd and de-
lighted. He can now talk almost az
we'll as any one In writing he uses q
typewriter.
