Could someone tell me what might be the cause of a mercury vapor light to
intermittantly go off and in a few minutes come back on? It doesn't do it

Is it possible that the fixture has an overheat switch in it? Many
household recessed incandescent fixtures have such a switch, and they
sometimes cycle annoyingly (though safely!)
