SOME FACTS ABOUT MERCURY
Astronomers Have Been Studying the
Planet and Published the Con-
illusions Arrived At.

The planet Mercury is the smallest
of the major planets and the nearest
to the sun, which it circles in a little
less than three months. 1t reaches it's
greatest distance from the sun at
periods about sixty days apart. During
the year Mercury is morning star three
times and evening star three times.
Owing to its nearness to the sun, it is
never visible for more than period of
about two hours after sunset or the
same length of time before sunrise.
The eccentricity of it's orbit is greater
than that of any other major planet ;
it's greatest and its least distance from
the sun differ by nearly 15,O0OOOO
miles. According to A. w. McCurdy Of
the Royal Astronomical society Of
Canada, the MIST remarkable charac-
teristic in the motion of Mercury is
that when it Is nearest to the sun it
travels faster than it should if it
moved only by the solar system. As
tronomers have long sought an expla-
nation Of the accelerated motion. Some
believe that there are other planets
at present unknown between Mercury
and the sun-bOdieS that although Eu-
merous are too small to be seen. The
movements of Mercury indicate an In
fuence that might be accounted for by
the presence of another planet revolv-
ing within its orbit. If such planet
really exists, there should come a time
when it will appear as dark spot
moving across the face Of the sun. An
other way to detect the presence Of
new planets in the vicinity of the sun
is to take observations during a total
eclipse. If there are no clouds at
such a time, the stars become visible
as the sun disappears. During the
total eclipse of the sun in 1878 one OBJ
server 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 orb ,
of the planet.-YOuth's Companion.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-10-13

or the plant will quickly send forth
new shoots and perhaps seed close to
the ground, where ordinary moving
will not reach it.
If cut off the first year, the root is
not so deep, is more tender, more
easily cut and more easily killed. If
prevented from seeding, sometimes BIZ
ennials will appear the third year.
Watch for such sprouts.
Cut Before Towering.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut just
before Towering. While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins to
produce fruit, it draws on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time ex-
cept when it is very young Now is the
time to cut. The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at its weakest and is more
readily killed. If in addition, the
weather is hot and dry, it is practically
certain the root will die.
If you wait until it blossoms, some
of the seed may mature enough to
ripen even after the plant is cut down
and some seed will scatter for next
years weed crop. If after cutting the
seed seems to be mature enough to
ripen, the only safe way is to rake the
weeds together and burn them. Some
times seed which seems to be green
will mature after it is plowed under,
lie dormant in the soil until conditions
are favorable, then sprout.
Method for Perennials.
To eradicate perennials, the same
proposition holds: Prevent the old
plants seeding; kill the young plants
as they appear; kill the root stock.
The most absolutely effective way to
Kill root is to dig it out. II you have
only small patch and the weeds are
really noxious, this may be the safest
way. If you have large patch and the
roots are long and strong this is an al
most impossible task. In any case it is
a tiresome one.

CHAPTER XIII.
We Meet Surprise.

Not until we had felt carefully from
wall to wall did we admit our disap
pointment. There were no overshad
owing trees here, and what small glim
mer Of light came from the dull skies
found reflection on river and rocks. sc
that we could perceive each other, and
gain dim view of our surroundings.
OF the canoe there was absolutely nc
trace, and, If arms had been hidden
there also, they had likewise disap
peared. The very fact that the door
stood wide open, its wooden lock
broken, told the story clearly. l re-
manned silent, staring about through
the semi-darkness of the interior, rem
dered speechless by a feeling Of utter
helplessness. D'Artigny. after an ut
terance of disappointment. felt his way
along the walls; as he came back to
the open door our eyes met, and he
must have read despair in mine, fol
he smiled encouragingly.
Swept bare, little GIRL" he said
''Not so much as an ounce of powder

to travel a ways on woodcraft, and II

De Tonty mention to you where he
believed the Illini were in hiding?"
"No. monsieur-are they Indians?''
Eyes: the river tribes, the most
loyal of all to La Sale. 1t was one
of their villages we saw on the bank
of the stream as we approached the
fort from the west. l told Boisrondet
that 1t stood there deserted, but not
destroyed, and it was our judgment
the inhabitants were hiding among
the river bluffs. Without canoes they
could not travel far. and are probably
concealed out yonder. If we can find
them our greatest peril is past"

cay. and have never shed white
blood. l know them well. and with
leadership they would be a match even
for the Iroquois. De Tonty led them
once against these same warriors. and
they fought like hends. Come. we will
follow the stream, and see if we cannot
find trace of their covert"
It was but cluster of rocks where
the hut stood. and few yards below
we found the forest creeping down to
the very bank of the river. The sky
had Iightened above us. the obscuring
clouds opening to let the silver CLEAN
of stars through. and we paused a mo-
ment gazing back and upward at the
vast rock on which perched the be-
leaguered fort. We could dimly per-
ceive the vague outline of 1t silhouet-
ted against the lighter arch of sky. In
massive gloom and silence 1t seemed
to dominate the night, the grim forest
sweeping up to its very walls. Not a
CLEAN of light appeared: not sound

about me.
