 Government.

Washington, Jan. s0-President Wilson has extended full recognition to the new Polish Government under the Premiership of Ignace Paderew- ski. Disclosure of the Presidents ac- ton was made by the State Depart ment yesterday when it issued this announcement:
 The Provisional Polish Government Is accorded complete recognition in a telegram which Secretary Lansing has sent Ignace Paderewski by direc- ton of President Wilson. The mes sage extending this full recognition follows:

QUEENS MESSAGE ID INDIAN WOMEN
Voices Sympathy for Tradi- tions Which Prevent Ac- tive Work Among Females of Race; Thanks Them for Part in Late War, and for Support of Loved Ones at the Front.

London, Jan. 20-(Correspouder of the Associated Press)-Deep S pathy for the women of India
 interest in steps taken for their vancement are voiced by Queen Mary in a message she has sent to ali women of the Indian Empire. The Queen also paid trib ;te to the Indian women for the par; they played in urging their husbands, sons and brothers to render faithful service in the war. Queen Mary wrote
 "A short time ago I sent a message of thankfulness and hope to the women of the Empire. I wish now to add to 1t special message to the women of India. If my words are brief and simple, they are from the heart.
 "I know that by the custom of their country and the time-honored
 traditions by which they are rever-
 ently bound, the women of India are
 for the most p-rt prevented from
 undertaking those public and indus
 trial tasks which their sisters in other
 parts of the Empire, when the man.
 power of the country went forth in
 it's defence, were able to discharge.
 In the seclusion and solitude of their
 homes the women of Irdia have had
 to bear the bitterness of partings, to
 suffer bereavement and priVation, to
 live through days and months of
 doubt and anxiety, in ignorance of
 the fortunes of the war and without idings of their absent ones. Reports have reached me from
 many sources of their fortitude and endurance during the strain of the war which have filled me with ad-
 miration and gratitude. Many have done more than this. I have heard of letters from Indian women to hus-
 bands, sons. and brothers with the forces abroad, exhorting them to be
 brave in battle, stout-hearted, in ad- versity, faithful to their country and the throne to the point of death The history of India is full of the hero- ism and courage of it's women in the 1 past. The war has shown that their i spirit is unabated.
 The women of India are equally noted for their charity and compass sion. l know how deeply they have been moved by the desolation which | the war has brought into many households, and how ready they have been to provide relief for the sick and wounded, and to tighten the
 privations of their poorer neighbors. 'I rejoice to think that many in- fluences are at work which make for
 the greater well-being and advance ment of the women of India.
 watch with the deepest interest and sympathy every step that is taken to bring the means of education and | Knowledge more within their reach,
 to provide greater facilities for their obtaining proper medical relief through the agency of their own sex | in women's hospitals or in a privacy of their own homes, to widen their 1 interests and activities, and to secure
 to them the adequate protection Of the law.
 l 'I wish, with all my heart. that
 every success may crown these eff | fortA"

 OF SWEDISH BODY

Christiania, Jan. ---(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press 1.-The party of the Lefts, headed by the Premier, Gunnar Knudsen, lost p seats in Parliament in the elections recently held Instead of 80 seats which it controlled during the last session of the Storthing, the party now controls 55 seats. Opposition is divided between the Rights which have increased their membership from 24 to B and the Socialists who have IS seats instead of 19 as in the pre- yious Parliament. The KnudsPn party. or Lefts. still is the strongest iiYlsion in rhe Storthing but now has cons!d- erabIe less than majority of it's l25 members. It is expected that this will involve the reconstrction of the Cab met.
 The failure of the Socialists to in crease the number Of their votes throughout the country was surprise
 as this party had profited by recent changes in the suffrage law. The party gaining only 5000 votes while
 the Rights gained 63,00O. This is as- cribed to the Socialist program to ex- clude the teaching of religion from schools, to support prohibition and to reform society along the lines of the Russian Bolsheviki.
 Although Norwegian women have had the Suffrage for more than 10 years, no woman ever has been elected member of Parliament. One woman was nominated for that office in the last election but received only 172 votes. A small fraction of self-sup- porting women have formed an cleo ton association with a platform ask ing voters never to vote for men but it's influence was not perceptible at the polls.
 Two important issues to come be- fore the Parliament at it's session be- ginning in January are a reform in the election system by which the thinly settled districts now elect the majority oe members while the cities, with a more dense population, have less representation in proportion to their population. Other proposals are to enact a law of initiative and refer enium and to solve the prohibition question.

Saturn is the least of all the planets, Doing even lighter than water, so that, in spite of its tremendously greater bulk, Saturn is only ninety four times as heavy as the earth. Jupiter, whose diameter Is only a little larger, 8S,000 miles, is over 300 timas as heavy as the earth. If one took a body of Saturn's weight and exact size, it would float in an ocean large enough to receive it! And 1t is the only planet whose component materials have so low a density.
 Saturns distance from the Sun is about 886, 100000 miles, and its pe- riod of rotation is correspondingly long, twenty-nine and oRe-half years, but the time 1t takes to perform one axial revolution is very short, mly ten and one-fourth hours.
 Saturn has not yet attained the cool stage reached by the inner plan cts like the Earth and Mars. The very low density proves that the matter is still mainly gaseous. The surface is undoubtedly in very mo- bile state, as is shown by the rapid changes which take place in the ap- pearance of the surface and the ab- solute lack of permanent markings.
 The Realm of Stars.
 The constellation of Leo, the Lion, is newcomer on our map. It con tains three things of note: the stars Regulus and Denebola and the sub group of stars known as the Sickle. Regulus, the royal star. was much venerated in olden times, even though 1t is not one of the most bril- liant of the first-magnitude stars. I. once marked the location in the heavens of the Sun at the hottest time of the year; this is no longer true, because the phenomeon called the procession of the equinoXes" has carried the consultations out of their original relations to the seasons. In the dawn of astronomy the Sun l crossed the equator, bringing with 1t the summer to the northern lands, at ! a point in the constellation of Aries; now the same phenomenon has car ried this point, the vernal eqinox, about thirty degrees into the group of Pisces.
 Regulus marks the handle of the Sickle, and the curved line of stars w HIGH tTic0 out tIle Didub IS 0dS1lS recognizable from Regulus north ward. Denebola is not a very bright i star, but it is interesting, because the great regard in which the an clients held this star and the mention they make of it show that it's bril- liancy must have once been consid- erably greater than at present. Leo Minor, the Lesser Lion, is a modern" constellation, as the stars | which compose 1t were not put into an independent group until the sev- | enteenth century, but previously had been counted as parts of Leo and the neighboring Ursa Major. Within the | curve of the Dpper handle in the Great Bear is another small group called Canes Venatici. the Hunting Dogs This group contains one of the finest specimens of the spiral ne 1 bula in the entire heavens. It is al- so interesting because once an astron- omer tried to honor King Charles IT l of England by naming the brightest ! of the group Cor Carroll, Heart of Charles. This move met its proper , fate at the hands of his colleagues 1 and successors.

The February evening sky Is fort unate in possessing both Jupiter and Saturn, the largest planets of the so- lar system. Jupiter will be found al most overhead. making a fine triangle win the Heavenly Twins, Castor and Pollux. Further to the east Is Sa- turn. quite close to the royal star Regulus of the constellation of Leo, Mars and Venus also may be ob- .ierved his month; they are close to- gether in the western sky, and must be looked for lust after sunset, as they both disappear below the hori- zon well before the time of our map 1t Is not a very common occurrence that on a single fine evening all these planets should be observable, and it Is an opportunity well worth takirg advantage of. Another thing which favors the amateur astronomer this nronth is that all the planets are in positions which make them very easy to recognize.
 The Satellites of Saturn.
 We had occasion last month to dis cuss the famous rings of the planet Saturn and some of the interesting historical facts in connection with them. Very few people know that Sa- turn possesses also d numerous fami- ly of satellites, no less than nine. One of these Is even visible in d small telescope, though perhaps not as easily observable as the four large moons of the planet Jupiter. Cali leo did not discover this satellite; it was first observed and recognized in 1855 by Huyghens, the same who dis covered the true nature of the mys- terious appendages of Saturn re- ported by Calico. Of the remainder. four were discovered by Cassini, two by William HerscheI one by Bond and Lassell and the latest by w. H. Pickering as late as 1890. The largest moon, Titan, has a diameter of about 5000 miles and is therefore larger than our satellite. The distance of Saturn is, however, so great that the sizes of the ttellites cannot be ac- curately meas red, but must be judg- ed from their brightness only. The outer one, which seems to be the smallest, Is probably only about 200 miles in diameter.
 This tiny member of Saturns S farni- ly is really the most interesting of them all, because 1t has what is call ed rotrograde motion. In contra dis tinction to the general motion of 'bdies in the solar system, it moves in its orbit from east to west, instead of from west to east. All the plan cts rotate on their axe and revolve in their orbits in a west-to-east di- recttOD, one might say, opposite to that taken by the hands of 8 clock. Practically all the satellites of the planets do the same, the exceptions being, besides this one of Saturn's s, the two outer ones belonging to Jup- iter, the four v''ich comprise Uran- us's family and the solitary moon of Neptune.
 Some Data About Saturn.
 The average diameter of Saturn is about 74,000 miles, and the difference between the polar and the equatorial diameters is so great that it can bn noticed even in a. medlum-sized tele scope Csix-inch). Curiously enough the density of the matter making ur
