The Orion robbers, presumably there
were two of them, passed through here
in making their getaway. About 4
O'Clock this morning the horse which
the bandits had stolen at Orion and
used to bring them here was found
near the Rock river bridges, YEARLY
pIolding its way homeward Albert
Schaum. an employee at the new DaT IS
power plant, found the animal 1t was
a dark roam and it was devoid of har-
ness of any sort. Almost on the heels
of the report of the finding of the
missing Orion horse came the news TO
the local police that another horse be-
longing in this city was missing. Leo
nard Richardson, 721 Seventeenth
street, missed his horse gone from
the stable and it did not take long for
the police to decide that the Too5Crs
had merely changed horses so as 20
get a fresh one to carry them on their
way. Richardson's horse is a + year
old bay with short name and tail. No
harness or buggy was taken from the
barn and it was apparent that the ban
dts had merely led the horse out and
put it in the place of the other one.

Mercury and the Sun.

The distance of Mercury from the
sun varies owing to the eccentricity of
its orbit. When he is nearest to the
sun he receives ten and half times
more light and heat than we do, but
when he removes to his greatest dis
lance the light and heat are reduced by
more than one-haIf. Even then, how
ever. the sun blaZes in the skies of
Mercury with disk four and Il half
times larger than that which he shows
to us on earth.
