A Chance to See nIercurv

1t is only once in a while that this
planet is easily visible, and perhans
the readers of the Companion will he
glad to know that they will have an ex-
cellent opportunity to see it on Anril
u, and for two or three DAYS before
and after. 1t will not set until nearly
two hours after the sun goes down
and will be fairly conspicuous in the
western twilight as a ruddy star of the
first magnitude, rather brighter than
Aldebaran, and a little south and east
OF the Pleiades. Not a great deal is
known about Mercury except that it is
the nearest to the sun of all the nlan-
cts, and the smallest of all except tho
asteroids, being only 5000 miles in di-
ameter: that it shows phases like the
moon, and-a comparatively recent dis
covery-that it behaves like the moon
in its diurnal rotation, turning on its
axis only once while it makes a COM
plete revolution in its orbit. Venus
probably acts in the same way,

Smokers in London.

The London newspapers have fire.
quently poked their ponderous fun at
The habit OF smoking alleged to be nrey-
alent among the ladies of the United
states and have raised their voices in
tfankfulness that English ladies are
not like their American sisters. All
this Is amusing in view Of the fact that
two OF the ladies' clubs in London the
Writers and the Pioneer, have pro-
nounced against their members smok
ing. The Writer'S club, the member
snip OF which is exclusively composed
Of women Journalists or authors ia
zoos tobacco altogether. Some of the
members accustomed to cigarettes or
cigars openly INDUCED therein after ro-

and a great majority decreed that any
lady found smoking must resign mem
bership. At the Pioneer members NAV

OLIVE GREEN FOR wARsHrPs
This Color Stands Best the Tests o
Water and SKY.

If war were declared tomorrow
olive green would be the color adopted
by all the ships of the new navy. The
navy department Is prepared TO issue
a general order directing the use Of
this color When emergency demands
II. The instructions wh.cl will ac-
company the order are based on the
experiments made with the ram kat2h-
din and the torpedo boat Cushing The
experiment with the Cushing demon
strated that for certain specific work
there were shades Of green better
adapted than the olive tiEt. hut on the
whole the olive tone ser:aI the best
for all around work. During the late
war the southern blockade runners
had recourse TO gray or draD color.
There were no electric searchiights in
those days; otherwise a better color
could not have been selected for show
ing up well under the rays. As a mat
ter Of fact, white is readily picked up
by a searchlight. and for this reason
torpedo boats usually first disclose the
white foaming water at their bows as
they Come charging in. In the day
time, however, a drab-painted ship is
with difficulty seen on the horizon.
Her smoke will betray her presence
long before the hull shows up, and
when the coal employed is anthracite
the difficulty Of detection is still more
enhanced. The katahdin experiments
show. however. that olive green. up
der certain conditions. is fully as in
visible in the daytime as gray. while
at night 1t is immensely superior to
all other ship colors. They gray har-
monies with the atmosphere. while
the olive green approaches close t0 a
wafer shade such as is common on the
coast. The success of a torpedo boat
charge depends on being able to get
close home to the oh 10 lie hit. close
enough to discharge torpedo. TO es-
cape, the boat must be under fire for
the least possible time. The search
lights of the enemy will be found play

NOT the 25TH PRESIDENT.
Mistake That Has Been Made About
Ma iOr Mckinley.

The ST. Nicholas magazine and sew
eral newspapers, in referring to the re-
cent Inauguration, announce Maj. Alc-
kinley as the tWenty-ffth president of
the United States, says the New York
Times. This is an error which | will
thank you 10 afford me space TO correct
The presidential term upon which nc
have just entered is the twenty eighth
and will include the LVth and LVIth
congresses. Of the presidents thus far
elected eight-Washingt Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe. Jackson. Lincoln.
Grant and Cleveland chosen for
second terms, thus making but twenty
persons selected to fill the high office
of president. As that number includes
President Mckinley, it is thus evident
that he has only nineteen predecessors
elected to the presidential chair. When
we add to these four vice presidents
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur
who succeeded to the Office, it will be
found that previous to the present 4il
incumbents. Consequently Mai Me-
kinley is the twenty-fourth and not the
twenty-tifth president of the United
States. 1t is interesting to add that of
the twenty presidents elected but two
were voted for three times. These were
President Jackson, who though he OBJ
tanned plurality, failed in securing
majority of electoral votes on his first
appeal and had to give way to John
Quincy Adams as the choice Of the
house of representatives, and President
who was defeated npon his
second appeal for public favor.

LINED WITH CELLULOID
surgeons Perform New Operation for
Depression o: Saul.

Depression o: Saul.
After experimenting nearly q wear
with the skull OF a young Grecian
samson, surgeons at. Bellevue hospi-
tai, New York, have found a certain
cure for cases OF depression Of the
skull which have nearly always here
tolore m*ant death, says an exchange.
A lining Of gold was removed from Ed
ward Ell Heicke's skull and one of pre-
pared celluloid substituted. The sue
cess OF the operation Is now assured
and Ell Heic&e will be dismissed in a
few days. He had suffered from de-
preston 0f the skull. causing ep:leptic
attacks. The skull was opened and
separated from the brain by thin gold
leaf, which in the course Of a month
cracked, and the patient was as badly
off as before. 1t was then decided to
try an entirely new substitute and eel
luioid was selected. 4 thin piece OF
cellutoId, specially prepared. was sub
mitted TO tests and then heated TO a
high pitch, SO that its brittleness
would be overcome. Then il was sub
stituted FOR the gold lining. and, after
a plaster cast had been made. the sec
tion OF the skull was sewn in fer the
third time, That was done some two
weeks ago. The skHN was healed
nicely. Fl HeicNe is feeling we'll and
the surgeons are certain that the eel
iuloid will never crack Or break. 1t
is the first time such an operation has
ever been performed and fer that rea-
son has attracted the attention of ply
