OF the strictly astronomical re-

Mercury veritable Vulcan, that is.
For this we had two especially con-
Strueted lenses, three inches in di-
ameter, but with huge cameras
twelve feet long. The action of these
lenses is such that, even with very
long exposures, the background of
sky is not harmfully logged on the
plate until very faint stars have also
impressed themselves upon it. Album
ance of such stars we find on the
plates, but no suspected planet; so
the negative evidence of the 1905
eclipse is added to that of it's pre-
decessors, and the existence of such
a planet is coming to be highly i'm
probable. Few future expeditions are
