Tbe planet of Mercury la the small­ est of tbe major planets an « the near­ est to the son, which it circles in a little leas than three months. It reach­ es Its greatest distance from the son at periods about sixty days apart. Dur­ ing tbe year Mercury is morning star three times and evening star three times. Owing to its nearness to the bud It is never visible for more than a po­ rted of about two boors after 'sunoot or the tame length of time before ran The eccentricity of its orbit is great­ er than that of any other major planet; Its'greatest and its least distance from tbe son differ 'by nearly fifteen mil- lien rnile«. According to A. W. Me Curdy of tbe Boyal Astronomical So­ ciety of Canada, tbe most remarkable characteristic in the motion of Mer­ cury is that when It is nearest to the auS It travels faster than it should if It moved only by tbe attraction of the > known bodies o f the solar System. Astronomers have long sought an ex­ planation of the accelerated motion. Soane believe that there are other plan­ ets at present unknown between Mer­ cury and tbe smr-rbodiaa that although usaseroua are too small to* be seen. Tbe movements of Mercury indicate an in- finance that might be accounted for by the prase nee ef another planet revolv­ ing within its orbit I f snch a planet Odets, them should codie a time K w ill appear as a dark spot across tbe face of the sun. w ay'to detect tbe presence e f now planets in the vicinity ef the ■on Is to tabs observations during a total sdlpee.

I shall consider for a moment two possible answers; Geometry Is useful. you may be told, or geometry h(fords excellent mental discipline. Geometry is useful. Well, how useful and-in whet ways? Professor David E. Smith. of the leeching of maths- in Teachers’ , college, tells us, •'Not more than 25 |ier cent of the propositions (in geometry) have any gmtulbe applications outside of geom­ etry.” And s distinguished physicist has assured me that the 75 per cent of propositions that are of no use arc >t even needed to prove the 25 per cent that are of some use. Tbe teachers of plane geometry have therefore a very considerable tnak if they are going to Justify the time spent on geometry on the ground that geometry la useful. Nor la their task easier if they take tbe other horn .of tbe dilemma. Sup­ pose one did get -‘mental discipline” from geometry. la It the sort of men­ tal discipline that life calls for and Geometry as taught Is a deductive science. That is, from certain assump­ tions called axioms and postula tea a tong aeries o f propositions ta developed If the study of geometry really devel­ oped that kind of thinking, whom would it help but lawyers?

K bsps"ds Upon How Long the Li Inga Can Resist Erosion. The life of a gun depends upon tbe 1 progress of erosion, which sooner 1 later Is certain to impair tbo accuracy of fire. Erosion is caused by tbo action of tbe explosive gases at high temper atore and pressure. According to the iron Age, the hot gases cause a thin film of steal to ab­ sorb heat The film expanda and be- somes set. Upon the roteara of tbs pressure It contracts, which onuses minute cracks that grow larger with every discharge. As they in creara in ■l*« they form passageways for mom hoc gaa, and that tends to enlarge thorn ■till further. Tbe inner surface thus becomes roughened and the bends be­ gin to corrode. Finally the bore be­ comes so enlarged that R allows the gases to escape. The shell does not then acquire Its proper rotation, and its tight becomes erratic. Ail guns except small ones are now constructed with linings in - the tube whjch, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced by new ones. Tbe cost of rellnlng a gun is approxi­ mately 80 per cent of tbe cost of the gun. There appears to be no limit to the number of times that a gun can be relined. The small arms used in this country are considered .to be worn out after
