Scientific paper

IN the February number of Himmel und Erde, and elsewhere, I have seen ``that the otherwise meritorious, but in his observations and their, discussion not always cautious and strict Schroeter,'' took the rotation period of Mercury to be twenty-four hours, but that Schiaparelli has now found that Mercury behaves to the sun as the moon to the earth, always showing the same side. The reporter also explained, by way of compliment to Prof. G. Darwin, why the planet next to the sun should differ in this respect from its companions.
