From he Ia ndon Chronicle, July T.
The royal yacht Saide arrived at Tromso,
Norway. yesterday. bringing intelligence re-
gardins MIR. Walter Weilman's polar expe-
dition. which sailed hence on May 1 last.
The news is contained in the following tee-
gram from MIR. Wellman:
DANES ISLAND, Spitzberaen, May 10.
The expedition arrived here ON the eyen-
ing OF May Z, having accomplished the
passage from 1romSo IN only SIX days, a
week or ten days earlier than l had hoped
to reach here. and many weeks sooner tnan
the Norwegian shippers III Aaiesund ami
IrJmSJ had told me 4 could expect to cover
The distance The voyage oil the Rasnyald
JGrl from irclnSo to Danes Island, IN fact,
beats all records in arctic eXploraticn
Never before did an expedition reach the
eiShueth parallel of north latitude i'll SIX
Gays from civilization, or attain So high a
latitude So early in the year. The vessel
met with little ice On the voyage, and was
detained from this cause only a day and a
half The three days since the arrival of
the expedition have been spent in establish
ing our headquartfrs in MIR. Pixies house,
Prof. Oien of tchristiania being left in
charge. The iagnYald Jarl sails this even
ing, for Seven Islands. and with open water
and fair weather on the north coast of

open water to the north are confident of
success.
This telegram was broush. by Capt. Par

nection with the Mares expedition They
state that when the Saide left Danes Island
the Ragnvald Jarl had not returned there.
The Saide had beeh in search of her. and
met her on June in the pack ice in lati-

Titles For Women.

Until Oscar Wilde burst upon the
world as the apostle of Rstheticism the
family to which he belonged had hardly
been heard of III this country. Since
then occasional paragraphs have APP
peared in the papers regarding relatives
of the divine Oscar, and now attention
has been called to his mother, Lady
Wilde, because of a novel movement in
which she has taken a leading part.
This has for its object the securing from
the crown of honorific distinction for
women of the same character as those
granted to members of the sterner sex.
Lady Henry Somerset is also a leader III
the movement, and the disinterestedueSS
of these two ladies III this crusade seems
to need no affirmation when it Is re-
membered that each is already the pos
SCISSOR of Il title. The advocates of the
new idea declare that while man be
made baronet or a knight because Of
notable deed done no such honor falls
to the lot of women, and they urge that
titular honors be conferred equally upon
the sexes When it is pointed out to
them that Miss Burdett-Coutts was
made a baroness by way of reward for
her many public benefactions, the new
crusaders retort that the case of the bar
oness merely proves the rule.-EX

THE MASS OF JUPITER.
Indications That Its Surface Matter Is In a
Gaseous State.


Taking the earth mean distance from
the sun at 90, 796, $50 miles, as given by
Hardness, the mean distance Of Jupiter
from the sun Will be 482, SOB, $40 miles
The eccentricity Of its elIiptical orbit
being 0. O482j, its distance from the sun
at periheliOn is 459. 5O7, go miles and
at aphelion 800, 100 80 miles. Between
its greatest and least distances, therefore,
there Is a difference Of 46, 1872, 420 miles,
or about one-half the earth's mean dis
lance from the sun. The inclination of
Jupiter's orbit TO the plane Of the ecllp-
tic being only l degree IS minutes II
scconds-Or less than that of any OF the
other large planets, with the exception
Of Uranus-the planet never departs
much from the elliptic, and hence it
was called by the ancients the ''ecliptic
planet" It's period of revolution round
the sun Is l / years 314. s days.
The inclination Of its axis of rotation
being nearly at right angles TO the plane
Of its orbit, there are practically no sea-
Sons in this distant world, and the only
variation in the heat and light at any
point on its surface would be that due
to tie comparatively small variation i'll
its distance from the sun referred to
above. Its mean distance from the sun
being ,. 2O2S times the earth's mean
distance from the sun, it follows that
the heat and light received by Jupiter are
p times (5.2 squared) less than the
earth receives. The amount of heat re-
ceived from the sun by this planet is
very small, and We're it constituted like
the earth its surface should be perpetu-
ally covered by frost and snow. Far
from this being the case, the telescope
shows its atmosphere to be III a state of
constant and wonderful change.
These extraordinary changes cannot
possibly be due to the solar heat, and
they have suggested the idea that the
planet may perhaps be in redhot
state, a miniature sun, in fact, glowing
with inherent heat. The great brilliancy
Of its surface, the ''albcdO, " rs it Is
called, ard its small density-less than
that Of the sun-arc facts i'll favor of
this hypothesis. As the attraction Of
Jupiter's enormous mass would ronder
the materials near its center of much
greater density than those near its sur
face, the latter must be considerably
lighter than water and may possibly be
in the gaseous state.
