~ On. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright. 1915. By Prank Cransl

It was said of Matthew Arnold that
in I'll the departments Of human lie he
applied the criterion of delicacy. "A
finely touched nature" he said, Twill
respect In itself the sense Of delicacy not
less than the sense of honesty"
Delicacy Is no virtue; it is the flavor
of all the virtues.
It is not goodness; it is goodness Al
tered through modesty.
It is the gentle hand of the courageous
heart.
It is that quality without which the
most efficient man cannot be q gentle
man, and the most accomplished woman
cannot be lady.
It cannot be explained to you; you
must absorb it. It cannot be learned; it
must be assimilated.
The lack Of delicacy has spoiled many
mans career. Nothing is so great
an element Of weakness in q crisis as q
certain coarseness.
Most fallen American idols owe their
collapse to the fact that In some crucial
moment they offended the delicacy of the
people.
These things are fatal to delicacy:
Egotism. All thrusting forward Of
ones self, smugness. an air Of self-suffi-
cheney, iictatorial attitude, oracular
speeches, me, me, me. The consummate
flower Of good breeding is humility, not
assumed but felt.
Undue esteem of success, particularly
when it implies possessions or fame.
This argues gross worldliness Of char
acter and lack of appreciation OF the
nobler human qualities.
SelRshness. whether seeking the best
meats ut table, the best seat in the room,
and such lapses Of the commoner sort, or
the more subtle coarseness OF monopoliz-
ing the conversation, or making ones
self conspicuous by over-dressing or
jewelry.
Insincerity. This is the besetting sin
of writer's who desire popularity at any
cost. The slightest deviation from the
line of clear conviction" writes Mr.. G.
w. E. Russell, "the least turning to left
or right in order to cocker . prejudice
or please an audience or hatter Z class,
shows q want of delicacy, 4 preference
of present favor to permanent self
respect"
Lightly causing suffering in others.
"Ahw said Rivarol, mo one considers
how much pain any man OF taste has to
suffer before he infiicts any,"
lnsolence toward interiors. Lack Of
respect for the feelings Of servants.
Fawning upon or cringing toward SUI
periors.
Satisfaction with surroundings that
are ugly, uncouth, vulgar, and devoid
of taste.
All good qualities have line which
they may not pass beyond, else they
become absurd. The danger point In
delicacy is becoming finicky, Miss Nancy
ish, effeminate.
This does not alter the fact, however,
that a certain amount Of womanliness
marks the complete man; the will OF
steel must be gloved in velvet courtesy.
the strong courage must be tempered
with kindness, wisdom must be suffused
with modesty, conviction must be bal
anced with liberation.
Delicacy is ito make virtue victorious
by practising it attractively."

always turns the same face toward the earth in it's rotation around us- Not absolutely the same part is turn ed toward the sun, owing to librat1on, or balance-like swinging about it's axis, due to the eccentrictty, or clip ticfty of its orbit. The face toward the sun is, then, continually heated to a high temperature and the opposite face always sunless and extremely cold Water could not exist in liquid form anywhere on Mercury, except perhaps, for short periods in the libra ton area which is not continually ex
 posed to the burning rays of the sun- The presence of a form of life like ours is hardly, therefore. to be fnag- ined on this planet.
 The distance lsef Mercury from the sun is about 36. 0Oo.000 riles-ft var ies 7,50O,00O each way-and the in tensity of the energy given by the sun to an area. of certain size is seven times as great as a like area on the earth would receive. Its. diameter is only 5000 miles and it's surface only one-seventh that of the earth. The planets mass is not so accurately known but is probably not more than a twentieth of the earth's mass. Ow- ing to it's position between the earth and the sun, to the observer with a telescope it shows phases just like the moons.
 Is there a planet between the sun and Mercury That is a question which occupied the minds of many as tronorners of the last century be- cause of a perturbation or disturbance in the orbit of Mercury which could, best be explained by the presence of. such a body. Unfortunately for the romance of Astronomy. the question is decided negatively. There may be and probably is a great amount of cosrnic matter between Mercury. and the sun, but it surely is not gathered into a large globe which can be added. to our list of planets. Yet such 9 planet has been persistently looked for, several times even reported dis covered, and named Vulcan. Careful search during very recent total {eclipses of the sun. however, has fail- ed to reveal any such intramercuria1 planet. and we are forced to the con- c1usion that Vulvan is a myth
