Though Mercury is one Of the small
est Of the planets, II is perhaps the
most Troublesome TO the astronomer.
1t 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 IL 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 IL.
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.

servations he made an approximate
determination OF the mass Of Mercury.

DARING FEATS
OF AVIATION
OrVIIle Wright Establishes a
New Record For America
GOES OVER 26O FEET IN AIR

Small Double CIRCLES of "Fisure Eight"
Successfully Observation-Disclosures
Of Seventy Miles Covered in Eighty
Minutes-crowd Thrilled by Per-
Torrance of Artificial Bird, Which
Was Under Perfect Control
Washington, July GA new record
for aviation in America was estab-
lished by Orville Wright in the Wright
aeroplane at Fort Myer by a spectacu-
lar flight of S0% minutes duration.
The longest previous fight in the
United States was of IA minutes,
made by Wright at Fort Myer last
fall.
During the entire fight the machine
was under perfect control, but several
times appeared to the spectators to
be on the point of diving to earth.
Several thousand people were given
an exhibition which included the most
daring feats of aviation yet accom-
plished, and at its conclusion mighty
cheer went up.
The machine Travelled a distance of
about seventy miles, and at one time
during the flight the height attained,
between 260 and $50 feet, exceeded
the highest point ever reached by
heavier than air machine on this en-
tinent. The most wonderful part of
the flight was the execution of three
complete figure Fights" which re-
quired careful maneuvering in direct
ing the machine.
Not the slightest mishap occurred
during the flight, but there were mo-
ments when the crowd watched al
most breathlessly, fearing the aviator
was losing control of his artificial
bird. A thrill passed through the
spectators as the white flyer, appar-
emily beginning to dive to the earth,
would regain its equilibrium and speed
onward around the oval above the
parade grounds.
After rounding the course half
hundred times, the aviator directed
the machines course around the small
double circles of figure eight" 1t
was the first time this season and the
second time during his career he has
executed this maneuver. To the
of the crowd the machine
described a second eight and then a
third one.
When he had completed these clever
the aviator started to make
a showing in regard to height. Slow
ly the aeroplane rose to higher alti-
tude on each lap until it had scared to
a distance of between 260 and ESQ
feet from the ground. At this altitude
the machine few half a dozen rounds
and then gradually descended toward
the earth. Wright made a successful
and easy landing after completing
rounds of the field.
Both Wilbur and Orville Wright de-
clared that the machine is working
much better, but that they want to
have several more trials before the
official test.
Wilbur Wright, replying to a COM
ment that the fight would have COW
cred the width of the English channel |
which Herbert Latham unsuccessfully |
attempted to cross Monday. said 1t
would have been possible for his |
brother to have crossed from France
% England and to have returned to
France again without landing. He
,lso remarked that II would have been
Easy to have continued the fight as
ar as Baltimore.
The weather conditions we're splen-
iid. Only very light breeze was
,iowing and this had little effect on
