DANISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

Two of the most important scentlhc cXpedl-
fiops which attempted to get into the SlOerlau
seas last wear, says Nature, were those III the
biimphna, with Lieutenant IiovgaaId, Dent on
reaching the North Pole, and the Dutch Me-
Psychological Expedition III the Narna, bound Tor
Port Dickson. These two vessels succeeded III
Forcing the Ice in the WaigaH Straits III Sep
MEMBER last, and perhaps the DUmphna would
then have got through the Kara sea had she
mot. by mistaking certain signals, been lea TO
leave the omen lead " in which she was and
gone to the assistance of the steamer Louise,
beset lv the ice. She was caught IN the pack
md frozen in on September II. The last re-
mort from these vessels Is dated September y.
The statements which have appeared III the
Russian press relating to the discovery 10y
Samovedcs of a wreck, supposed to nave Deen
that of the Dlmphna, south OF mgatz Island
have been proved TO refer to an old Russian
ULaler stranded there some years ago. III the
last message received from Lieutenant Hoy
raard he expressed the opinion that the Ice III
the Kara Sea would break up during the perl
cdical ,torms in September and October, and
enable him to reach Port Dickson, where he III
tended TO winter. If to this X added the state
ments made by Mr.. Leigh Smith and Sir Henry
Gore Booth as to open water north and east OF
koyaya Zemlya during the summer 1t Is not
improbable that the DUmphna got free Ill
Dctober and safely reached Port Dickson, or
nerbaps even Port AktiDia on the Ialmur
Island Should this be the case, We may look
forward TO reassuring news from the gallant
Danish explorer early in February.

TWO KINGS.


Two Kings were sitting in Orkadal, -,
BY torchlight glare i'll the pillared hail.
The minstrel sang the VINE foamed hugh;
The Kings looked on with gloomy eye.
Tn spakc the one "Give me the far.
Blue are her eyes and golden her hair"
The other he answered with angry mien.;
My vow is recorded, she Is my queen
The Kings thereafter spake not n word,
But ND they rose. and each grasped his sword !;
And out they stalked from the lighted hall,
Where the snow lay deep with silent fail.
Bright flashed the blades by the caste wall;
Two Kings lay dead i'll Orkadal

CELESTIAL CHARTS.

According to The Sldereal Messenger, Mr.. c.
H. Peters. of the Litchtield Observatory, Ham
Elton College, Is doing excellent Work as "a star
Cazer. Ever since the year 1850 he has been
Engaged in making map aud catalogue OF the
stars down to and including those OF the four
teenth magnitude; map which should be " a
sure basis for drawing conclusions with respeci
TO the changes going on ID the starry heavens.
Previous to the discovery OF the telescope there
were four catalogues of the stars made, that OF
HppaIchus, 40 years before the Shrlsllami
era, containing 1850 stars; the Anagest
Of Ptolemy, which contained l,O3O stars !;
another, by Ulugh Beigh. dating from the nj
feenth century, and giving lob stars, ana
one by TychO Brahe, which had only l,OO9
stars. but was determined with greater accu-
aacy than the others. OF the numerous cata-
aogues published since the telescope came INTO
use that of Highlander Is the most extensive,
although it is merely approximate III accuracy,
and does not profess to give the positions oil
3be stars with exactness. 1t includes all the
stars down to the ninth magnitude between the
pole and two degrees south OF nc equator
: The area of the heavens, which Dr. Peters
has undertaken to map out does not exceed the
tieclinalion of thirty degrees on elther SIDE OF
the equator. The Work has been dOne WIN
thirteen inch refractor, which, IN clear SKY,
shows stars of about the fourteenth magnitude,
or five magnitudes smaller than the smallest OF
Argelander's. Here Is at once All immense In
crease in the plumber OF stars within given
area In order to admit OF this increase Dr.
Peters has enlarged the scale adopted, so that IL
furnishes an area exactly nine times that Uf
Aroelander's charts. But these determination
are not approximate merely; they are as close
and accurate as science can make them. Not
only is the position OF every star marked cut
with the greatest care aud nicely, but after the
proofs of the charts are received they are again
COMPARED with the actual condition of the
heavens, so that the correctness shall be Sc
cured beyond any question. DR.. Peters does
ali the work without assistants, ana publishes
5he charts (of which twenty containing 90, 900
stars have lust been issued) at his Own Expense
FOR gratuitUus distribution.

professor A. A. w. Hubrecht in a recent adj
dress at Utrecht, discussed at some length the
difference of development between the descend
ants of long line OF first-born animals ana
fine corresponding descendants of those last
born. After centuries of growth the effect, he
saws will be this From one pair of parents n
large number of descendants will have sprung,
a small number of these being the Descendants
in q direct line of the tirst-born OF every sue
cessive generation another small DulnDer
being the descendants i'll a direct line OF tne
last-bOTn of every successive generation the
remainder belonging to intermediate stays L"
Evidently the difference III age petWeen !llo
first born descendant and his parents is mn
imum. for the sole reason OF his being the 1lrst-
born, that between the last born descenu1nU
and these same parents beng on sliilli; =;
grounds maximum. Thus, IL we l0 Ca W ~ 49,
the direct line of descent the series VI III
between two terms of that series corresponds 10
n much smaller number of years imam INC uls
lance between two terms OF the sGlIoe Va Jn0

scended from l?st-bOrn. Comparing Cneso wv
series simultaneously after the lapse OF cehtu-
ries, the series of the first-born VIII count nu-
meruus terms, many generatlOns' az short uis
tapces from each other, whereas the series vi
the last-born will on the contrary, consist OF
much smaller number of terms, each OF which
is separated from its predecessor by much
more considerable distance.
From this fact we are led to propose the 1Ol-
lowing question Is the lie any reason TO expect
that in the struggle for existence. the represent
atives of each Of the two divergent series are
collectively provided with different weapons
Or are both these groups quite equal to each
other in the struggle? Both observation and
theoretical deduction force the conclusion upon
us that difference is indeed present. A diff
ference, % in the external circumstances under
which the first-bOrn and the last born come into
existence; GU in the internal properties and
requirements with which both series are pro-
yided difference which does not appear

both groups, but which may indeed be col
