The PLANET VENUS.
The Likeness Existing Rstwssn It ana oar

The Likonsss Exlsting Retween It and Gar
Own World.
While watching those graceful wind.
ings OF the planet we naturally inquire
as to its real condition. Readers are
familiar with the idea that it Is q world
like our own earth, travelling in
smaller but otherwise almost similar
orbit around the sun. On more minute
inquiry we find that the likeness be-
tween it and our earth is in some
points very great greater, in fact,
than in the case of any other planet.
In the fundamental element OF size they
are almost alike, our earth being 1900
miles In diameter, and Venus $500.
The force of gravity on the surface of
the latter is very nearly nine-tenths of
what it is with lis. Its density is al
most the same fraction of that of the
earth. These facts show that if trans
ported to the surface of Venus we
should feel more at home, SO far as
some essential features of experience
are concerned, than on any other
planet known to us. We should weigh
just about nine-tenths of our present
weight, and should find distances
bearing much the same ratio to our
muscular power of walking that they
do in this world; while in all probable
ity the surface rocks and earth, if such
be formed there, would be compacted
and constructed like those we daily see
around US. This would not be the case
on planets so much smaller than the
earth. as Mercury or Mars, or SO much
larger, as Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune.
Again, the year on Venus would be
about two hundred and twenty-five
days in length, good deal more like
what we have on the earth than is the
case on any other planet. In the length
OF the day we should find still more
homelike experience. as tho difference
would be imperceptible except to care
full observation. Venus rotates in %
hours 21 minutes % seconds, and the
earth in % hours Sc minutes 4 seconds.
The day, OF course, depends little on
the motion of the sun in the sky, but
the difference between this as seen on
our earth and from Venus would not
appreciably affect the similarity of the
days in each. These likenesses to the
length of our day and year and to our
worlds density would cause a similari-
ty, in all probability, in the important
matters of mountain form and of vege.
tation. In fact, so far Venus is nearly
the twin sister of our world.-Cham-
ber's Journal.

AUSTRALIAN POLITICS,
Why Dwellers In tho Antipodes EXPECT
Much from tho State.

why Dwollers In tho AnttpodeS Expect 50
Much from tho State.
If we find our presidential year a
serious financial Inconvenience by rea-
son of the uncertainties connected with
every canvass, how much more, should
one think, must not the colonial CAPT.
talist feel the presence and the risks
of politics in his life, when, for him, a
general election is always possible, is
very often expected, and may at any
time lead to important changes in the
business policy of the government, and
so of the whole community! But the
colonist, used to the vigorous political
activity amidst which he has so long
lived, makes few or no complaints of
these risks. He seems to enjoy the
game. When asked people, during
my travels, how they could endure to
hear so much of their government, they
were generally surprised to learn how
little many Americans have occasion to
remember, from moment to moment,
what their legislatures are actually do
ing. Government by responsible min
istries is always picturesque, even if it
is not dangerously drastic; and the
colonist thinks so much about the
latest great political speech and the
most recent ministerial crisis that he
hardly knows how freeman could
live and be SO completely without
dread, as we here in America often are,
concerning what may happen next in
the political world. A presidential
canvass, like our recent struggle, is for
us a refreshing draught of genuine ma
tional politics, after number of years
of comparative dullness. But the colo
mist is used to excitements that for him
are almost as great, and that perhaps
once session. This doubtless is one
reason why he expects so much from
the State. If the gods will always be
appearing to mix in the affairs of daily
life, then, to be sure, even the herds
man must try to get the gods to do his
work for him. With liz the gods often
inhabit for years q q en- all their
own, and we are thanxIcl enough If
they mind their own business, and do
no more serious mischief than some.

"Think Of me with envy" Tbackeray
said TO an Erglish friend in Paris who
had called to take him to q dinner
party at which both were expected.
Sir Joseph told me that, so far from
being ready, he found Thackeray had
sent an excuse based on a very slight
cold, and had settled himself to com
! plete comfort. In loose morning
clothes, with his feet to the fire, he
was established in a deep armchair,
with small table beside him; on it q

ing rig and know I've escaped from
what's ahead of you makes me settle
down to complete enjoyment of my
book and my bird. just say you called
for me, but found me covering over
the fire."
Thackeray's well-known dislike to
formal dinners is shared by many, who,
like himself, are fashion of the time
! and liable to be invited because they
are a fashion, not for the real charm OF
the man, which can never come out
naturally in that sort of company.
No way of meeting in society is more
thoroughly agreeable and refreshing
than the small dinner where congenial
people meet, where the six or eight
chosen persons ut table can talk freely
together and the different minds give
freshness to each topic, and where gay
nonsense has its underlying knowledge
and bias of character. Such dining as
this is the fine towering of civilization.
and it is best found in the great centers
where the easy play of minds together
has been a growth. But all favoring
conditions are nothing without tact,
that faculty combining all faculties
into harmonious and instant percep-
ton and execution. This is vital to
social success, and, as the Scriptures
say of charity, ''all else is naught
without it," 1t is as much lovely gift
of nature as the artists eye or the
musicians car. an enviablc, charming
gift which training and use can de-
velop, but not give.
Constantly one sees people puz-
zled because they are not the social
success they believed inevitably due
their position or wealth, or unflagging
efforts to do the right thing in the
finest way. They can not see why

HIS WILD EXPLOIT.
A Yankee Tar Who Would Not AdmI
Foreign Superiority.

"A ASukoo Iar VINO would Not Admit
Foreign Superiority.
While the United States ship Nipsio
and several men of-war of different ma
tons were anchored near each other
in the harbor of Montevideo last April
the crew of Dutch man-of-war which
was moored a short distance from
Uncle Sans ship entered into liveliest
competitive drill and did their utmost
to beat the time made by the American
boys in shining masts up and down
and crossing yards. After some very
determined racing, in which the Amer
leans had slightly laid over their per-
sistent competitors, one of the Dutch
men, who had succeeded in crossing
the mainroyal yard a few seconds
astern of the time made by the Nipsic,
gave loud shout, which drew the at
tention of every ship in the harbor,
and shining up the pole to the truck.
which is circular piece of wood about
the size of dinner plate fixed at the
very top of the mast and used for the
purpose of hosting the flags, he drew
himself up and stood on his head on
the truck, and twirled his legs around
as If to challenge and deride the
possibility of any seaman daring to
rival him in that line of business, and
after maintaining his position for al
most a minute he repeated his yell .of
defiance and slid down the royal back
stay to the deck, where he was received
by a cheer that could be heard all over
the city of Montevideo. The rousing
cheer had an instantaneous effect upon
the temper Of Jack Peterson, the curly
headed captain of the Nipsic's foretop.
who. after declaring that no square,
headed Dutchman under the sun could
get ahead Of him, rushed up to the
main truck, and in attempting to stand
on his head, which he had never before
attempted to do, he instantly Overhaul
anced and fell a distance of 1870 feet
into the water, accidentally going in
feet first, after the manner of a most
expert diver. The sommersault and
fall were entirely accidental, but
looked from distance like a feat of
great skill. Jack was at once pulled
aboard the ship, and before he had
fully recovered his breath he jumped
on the rail, and shaking his clenched
fist in the direction of the Hollander,
he shouted at the top of his voice:

BABIES OF THE WORLD.

Nearly Thirty-Seven Million Of Them Ap-
pear Every Year.
1t has been computed that between
thirty-six and thirty-seven million of
babies are born into the world each
year. The rate of production is. there
fore, about seventy a minute, or rather
more than one for every beat of the
clock. With the one-a-minute calcula-
ton every reader is familiar, but it is
not every one who stops to calculate
what this means when it comes to q
years supply. And it will probably,
therefore, startle good many persons
to find on the authority of writer in
the hospital that, could the infants of a
single year be ranged in line in cradles
seven deep, they would go round the
globe. We have the ingenious conclu.
sion also that. supposing the little ones
to grow up and the sexes to be about
equally divided, we should have an
army hundred times as large as the
forces Of the British Empire, with q
wife in addition to every soldier. The
same writer looks at the matter in q
still more picturesque light. He i'm
AGNES tho babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers charge
one by one and the procession being
kept up continuously night and day
until the last-comer in the twelvemonth
has passed by. A sufficiently liberal
rate of speed is allowed, but even with
these babies-in-arms going past twenty
a minute, the reviewing officer would
only have seen a sixth part of the in
iantile host file onward by the time he
had been year at his post. In other
words, the babe that had to be carried
when the work began would be- able to
toddle onward itself when a mere
fraction OF its comrades had reached
the saluting post; and when the years
supply of babies was tapering to q
close there would be rear guard, not
OF infants. but of romping boys aad
girls. They would have passed, in
fact, out of the maternal arms into the
hands of the school-teacher. Every
moment of nearly seven years would
be required to complete this grand pa
rade of those little ones that in the
course of q twelvemonth begin to play
their part in the first age Of man.-
