THE TRANSIT OF VENUS CoMAnssIoN-ACT1vE
SYMPATHY WITH THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Professor q. A. Young. who went on tho Ameri.
can expedition to Pekin for che purpose OF OBJ
serving the transit OF Venus has returned to this
city. The Professor goes directly to his college.
The Information already furnished to the HERALD
OF the discrepancies between the observed and
the previously computed moments OF con.
tact, detected BY Professor watson ana others,
is likely to be Of great Importance. 1t win
prove an interesting element III the calculations
about to be MADE. Such an event seemed to be
totally respected by the foreign astronomers or
the comptlers OF the Nautical Almanac. The skill
with which the transit expeditions have been
conducted prompts all the scientists and ofnclals
Of the Navy Department here to still deeper
sympathy with the proposed expedition to the
Polar regions. In no way could success
be so well assured as by sup)ecting
the expedtionary parties to naval discipline
and control Tie execution OF such q project
would impart to the ente prise more thoroughly
national character. AS 1t Is, no one but Ameri-
can has ever gone beyond Cape Alexander toward
Smith Sound. Ingefeld just peeped in and then
returned. 1t Is not improbable that fate has re-.
served for Americans the glory OF first navigating
the hitherto inaccessible Polar Sea and the conse-
quent explanation OF many OF the mysteries OF
marine currents and their influence on the material
development Of nations.
