between "i' and u" was introduced by

The Planet Mercury.

Though Mercury Is one of the small
est OF the planets. Il Is perhaps the
most troublesome TO the astronomer.
II lies so close to the sun that Il Is
seen but seldom In comparison with
the other great planets. Its orbit is
very eccentric. and II experiences dis
turbances by the attraction Of other
bodies In a way not yet fully under
stood. A special difficulty has also
been found in the attempt to place
Mercury in the weighing scales. We
can weigh the whole earth. we can
weigh the sun. the moon and even
Jupiter and other planets. but Mercury
presents difficulties Of a peculiar char
acter. lie Verrier. however. succeeded
In devising a method OF weighing IT.
He demonstrated that our earth Is
attracted by, this planet. and he showed
how the amount Of attraction may be
disclosed by observations Of the sun.
so that from an examination Of the OBJ
servations he made an approximate
determination OF the mass Of Mercury.
lie Verrier's result indicated that the
weight Of the planet was about the If
teenth part Of the weight OF the earth.
In other words. II our earth was placed
in a balance and fifteen globes, each
equal TO Mercury. were laid in the

referred TO the oracle Of Delphi, who
