MYSTERY OF MERCURY.
An Unknown Factor That Causes The
Planets Erratio Motion.

The planet of Mercury is the small
est of the major planets and the near.
est TO the sun, which It circles In a
little less than three months. 1t reach
es Its greatest distance from the sun
at periods about sixty days apart. Dur.
ing the year Mercury is morning star
three times and evening star three
times. owing TO its nearncss to the sun
it is never visible for more than q pc
riod Of about two hours after sunset
or the same length of time before sun
rise.
The ecccntricity of its orbit Is great
err than that Of any other major planet:
Its greatest and its least distance from
the sun differ by nearly fifteen mil
lion miles. According to a. w. Nc
Curdy Of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety of Canada, the most remarkable
characteristic In the motion of Mcr-
curry Is that when it Is nearest to the
sun it travels faster than it should II
Ii moved only by the attraction of the
known bodies of the solar system.
Astronomers have long sought an ex-
PLANTATION of the accelerated motion.
Some believe that there are other plan
cts at present unknown between Mcr-
curry and the sun--bodies that although
numerous are too small to be seen. The
movements of Mercury indicate an in
fluence that might he accounted for by
the presence of another planet revolv-
ing within its orbit. If such planet
really exists. there should come time
when 1t will appear us dark spot
moving across the face of the sun.
Another way TO detect the presence
of new planets In the vicinity of the
sun is to take observations during
total eclipse. If there are no clouds
at such time the stars become visi-
bic as the sun disappears. During the
total eclipse of the sun in 1878 one
observer saw an object that he
thought might be the long sought
planet, but no other astronomer has
been able TO confirm the discovery, and
many now believe that the hidden
source Of the unusual movement of
Mercury must be looked for elsewhere
than In the orbit of the planet.

CROWNS IN BATTLE LINE
ARE NOW SELDOM WORN

Monarchs no longer ride forth
crowned to battle as did Richard
III. to his fatal fight on Bosworth
Field. Nevertheless even to-day
crowns figure in the spectacular side
of war more often than is common
ly supposed. The King of Italy, for
instance, although he does not, Of
course, always wear it, carries his
crown with him wherever he goes
and frequently dons ii when he re-
views his troops on ceremonial pa
rades.
This is in accordance with the GUS
tom and tradition of his house. The
crown is supposed to render its
wearer immune from harm. because
inclosed within the gold is a tiny
circlet of iron said to have been
made from a nail out of the true
cross.
The aged King Peter, of Serbia,
has twice during the present war ap-
peared robed and crowned before
his armies on the battlefield.
KingFerdinand of Roumania-who
must not be COMPOUNDED with the
ruler of Bulgaria, who is also named
Ferdinand-will probably go crown
ed to war, if he goes at all, precisely
as did his two predecessors, Prince
Alexander Couza and his uncle, King
Charles I. But then the royal crown
of Roumania is unique in so far as
it forms a genuine badge of the ma
tons freedom from alien tyranny
1t is made from the metal of Turk
ish cannon captured at Plevna by
the Roumanians in 1877 and in
shape and appearance it suggests the
helmet of a soldier rather than a
diadem.-[Youth's Companion.

LIFE OF THE GUNS.
II Depends Upon How Long the Lin.
ings Can Resist Erosion.

The life OF a gun depends upon the
progress Of erosion, which sooner or
later is certain to impair the accuracy
Of fire. Erosion is caused by the action
of the explosive gases at high temper
ature and pressure.
According TO the Iron Age, the hot
gases cause a thin film Of steel to alb
sorb heat. The film expands and be-
comes set. Upon the release of the
pressure it contracts, which causes
minute cracks that grow larger with
every discharge. AS they increase in
size they form passageways for more
hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them
still further. The inner surface thus
becomes rOughened and the bands be-
gin to cOrrode. Finally the bore be-
comes so enlarged that it allows the
gases to escape. The shell does not
then acquire It's proper rotation, and its
flight becomes erratic.
All guns except small ones are now
constructed with Innings in the tube
which, when the bore is worn out, are
removed and replaced by new ones
Inc cost Oh refining gun is approAl-
mately 80 per cent of the cost of the
gun. There appears to he no limit to
the number OF times that gun can be
refined.
The small arms used in this country
are considered to be worn out after
5000 to 900 rounds have been fired.
Small naval guns can be fired about
1000 times before they are regarded as
worn out. Large twelve inch and four
teen inch naval guns are considered to
have life on one lining Of from $50 to
200 rounds.
Low velocity guns, such as howitzers
and mortars, have correspOndingly
longer lives than high velocity guns Of
the same callber, because the pressures
they develop, and hence the temporal
lures, are lower.

WEARING WOODEN SHOES
CUSTOM OF THE FUTURE,

Speakers at the convention of the
Illinois shoe dealers uttered an in
teresting prophecy:
unless the world develops a sub
stitute for leather within two years
America will be the next wooden
shoe nation"
1t is only 10 centuries ago-yes-
terday in the minds of those who
view time broadly-that all the toll
ers of civilization wore wooden
shoes. Many of Europe's most hon
est feet wear them now. If we come
to wooden shoes there should be no
shame about it. Perhaps the
change. instead of bringing harm,
would bring goodness and joy.
Make everybody wear wooden
shoes and the porch climber would
join the roc and the dodo. or else
the Y. NJ. c. A. The efficiency ex-
pert. able no longer to slip noise
lessly about your business, would be
more occupationless than Othello.
The pussyfooter could annoy us no
more with his sickening stealth. Men
would come home earlier of nights,
soberly clanking oak upon pine as
they mounted the front stoop. Clog
dancing would be restored to its
proper place in the arts. All the
world would click a xylophonic tune,
Mahogany shoes. made from old pi-
amos, would take us out on Sunday.
The ladies could have their number
threes enameled in pink.
But what would become of Hon.
