MERCURY
ACROSS SUN
Transit of Smallest Of Solar
Satellites Saturday Not Visi.
Bile To Naked Eye.

Washington Nov. 9.-Mercury,
one of the suns satellites, was visible
but not with the aked eye, against
the disk of the sun at sunrise Satur-
day in all the States except the Far
West. The littlest world, through
lenses of small telescopes, appeared
as black dot travelling across the
the southern portion of the sun
from east to west.
By 9 a. m, Eastern time, and
TOT Mountain time it began to
cross the western edge of the suns
disk. 1t will not again pass between
earth and sun until May, 1924. Its
last daylight appearance was No
vember, 1907.
The transit of Mercury, as is
known, is not an important astrono-
mical PHENOMENON, according to
officials at the United States naval
observatory. Observations are Of
use only in making more accurate
the determination of the orbit of the
baby planet There is always a vari-
alton in the time of first and last
contacts in observations of this
character, the wide variation in H.
Elimination between the sun and the
smallest member of its family
producing deceptive light eff
fects. From a great number Of OBJ
servations. however. it is possible to
eliminate error almost wholly.
In figuring out the distance of the
sun from the earth, astronomers
made use of the transit of Venus.
Expeditions were organized to all
parts of the world and the angles of
ingress carefully noted. From the
mass of data thus obtained the
standard figure of 100000 miles
was computed.

HAIL FROM NEAR EDINBURGH.
The Famous Parepa-Rosa and Fiotows S
 "Ah, So Pure" from Martha"

Almost within sight of Holyrood Castle in Edinburgh, Euphrosyne Pa repa-Rosa was born, She was the daughter of a Wallachian gentleman, an din her walks down Princess street she could not resist singing the bal lads of her native land She made her debut as Amina in La Sonnam- bula" in the Island of Malta. Then she assumed the name of Parepa No one has been able to understand just why. She married a Capt Carroll in 1863, but was left a widow two years later and obligfied to return to the operatic stage. She made several not abe tours of the United States and later married Carl Rosa, the celebrat- ed violinist, and took the hyphenated name which she has made famous. She was one of the first to organize
 he English opera company in the United States. although she sang for many years in Italian opera. While she sang in Cairo, Egypt, and three continents, she always felt that the most genuine appreciation of her ta' ents was in the United States To hear Parepa sing "Ah, So Pure" from the opera Martha the veteran op- eragoer of today delights to tell about. Her good nature was proyerbiaI, anN she very seldom made d concert tour that it was not necessary to cut the program in one-half in order to enable her to respond to all the encores de handed Like all other prima don mas of established reputation, there is always some simple ballad that reaches the hearts of all the peopse, which fixed qthe fame of popular ar lists in the minds of the people and on that much of the permanence of their fame rests.
 This famous classic, from Martha with many others equally celebrated, is to be had in the great collection of Heart Songs" now offered by this paper at cost so small as to really constitute a gift We ask our readers to seriously consider the book offer that now appears in our advertising columns as a tribute of this newspa- per to it's subscribers.

BY SPECIAL ACCOUNTANT
Report that All the $4,000 Collected
Had Been Properly Expended
BY the Board.

western Newspaper Union News Service
memphis, Tenn.-The st. Francis
LeVee Board, in session at Marion,
woke up TO the fact, through Capt. !,
l. burkett. special auditor appointed
by Governor Hays to sift the boards
affairs 10 the bottom, that the taxpay.
efs OF the district have lost fully 500.

ueilhGuent taxes and, in some cases.
'he criminal carelessness of delin.

erS.'
III iact. the substance of Capt. Bur-
ketts comments was that the district
mao peen MIXED at every turn in the
matter OF taxes. While deploring that
sort OF mismanagement and mildly
censuflng the board for putting up with
IT, nothing in his audit showed a dis,
honest intention on the part of the
leVee board. He attributed the situa,
uon TO lack of system and to the de.
nhquent tax collectors, or commits.
s1oners in the district.
You are getting only II per cent of
your delinquent taxes" so Capt. Bur-
kett's report ran, "and the remaining

ing commissioners settlements in some
instances so palpably suggest fraud, of
which the attorney for your board has
cognlzance, tina ia remedy for this con.
dltlon of affairs is most earnestly sug-
gested."
Il am glad to report to the COVER
nor said Capt. Burkett, that of the
$69O,OOO collected and spent during
the period of my audit, not one dollar
was spent with any wrong intention,
and with the exception of the errors
to which your attention has been di.
rected, every dollar was spent wisely
ad is fully accounted for"
1t took Capt. Burkett about two min
utes to explain the exceptions-two or
three things about the letting of con.
tracts that did not apear on the record
as regular; it took the board about an
hour to amend the minutes, move and
resolve and to get the records straight.
According to Capt. Burkett's report
all kinds of schemes were figured out
in the collection of delinquent taxes
to run up bill against the levee
board. He had the signed statement,
he said, of the commissioner in Craig
head county that land sold for taxes in
1909 had been relisted as unknown
land and sold for taxes every year
since. 1t costs the levee board money
to sell land for delinquent taxes. This
is costing you thousands of dollars
every year. said Capt. Burkett. Il
recommend that in this case you get
hold of the deeds to this property"

account Of his experiments with

There are many things used as an.

that the springs of my bed serve as
very efficient antennae. My room is

by any means so loud as when | use
my outdoor antennae, which are ~
feet above ground, GO feet long and
consists of four wires on spreaders,
the wires being two feet apart.
THE bedspring antennae are best
for use with nearby high power sta

miles from Peekskill. With my out
door antennae l continually hear the
Arlington (Va.) naval station when it
sends out the correct time signals at
