(kwVII , . the queen of wash
erwomen, mini an
nffalr occurred
about fvo weeks
ago In Paris ami
was a noteworthy
event. To be cIiohlmi
queen of washer
womrn Is an honor much sought after
by the soap-suds artists. Thin year
there were seventy-two candidates, of
whctii the committee i ejected forty
two on sight. In this connection It
might be stated that a pretty face Ih
not the only point necessary. The
aspirant to the throne of soap-suds
niiiKt give substantial pi oof of her
practical qualifications to leprescnt her
honorable craft. The Initiatory exam
ination of the competitors for thlH ex
alted position Ik very amusing. A Jury
composed, an a rule, of one or two ex
perts in the mysteries of washing, a
student, an artist ami a newspaper
man generally constitute the Judges.
TIiIh body decides on what amount of
work each applicant must perform and
alno passes on tho merits of the work
done' Tho Jury gives Judgment on
the excellence of the reults of the
trial.
For several weeks before ilie election
there Ik a great hubbub In all the laun
dries, each of which possess some par
ticular star whom lier fallow workers
deem worthy of the crown. It must be
understood that an establishment that
can boast of having In its employ the
charming queen of the wish tub re
ceives a tremendous boom in Its busi
ness. Among the twenty-three avail
able candidates who were elected out
of the seventy-two uppllnnts for this
ycrr'H ciown there was a strong rivalry.
All the girls were remarkably pretty
and each one was a skllle 1 exponent of
her trade. The huge ball In Itue de
Savon, where the election were held,
was tilled with friends of the aspirant!",
and the scenes were as amusing as ex
citing. After considerable deliberation
the choice of the Jury for queen of
queens fell upon Mile. Ilenuctta lie
fnulloy, from a famous e. i.iblishment
known as Jouyo-Rniive.
The young woman Is tnoie piquai"
lookln;; than pretty; her features have
a port of undellnable sauclness that Is
very interesting. She is a nionounced
brunette, lull, with u splendidly model
ed flguio. Possessing far more grace
fulness than Is louiid among leal
queens, she Is also the vety picture of
animation and gr.ielou3tirss. The two
maids of honor, who are second in Im
portance only to the qui en of queens,
nml are called queens wit limit any ad
ditional adjective, were aim) chosen.
Mile, .Marie Francois, from the Halm
Victor laundry, received tne first place,
and Mile, Eugenie Tallois, from the
Can fount lots establishment wan de
clared second. Each of these girls la
n perfect typo of I'arlsl.in womanhood
and both are Immensely iiopul.tr.
The king on these fesilve occasions
Is a man of no particular importance.
The olllco Is generally filled by some
favorite of the queen, ami his principal
duty consists in dancing attendance
on her majesty, and looking as well as
he knows how.
No expense Is spared to make tho
costumes of the queen of queens and her
two satellites as magnificent as con
sistent with the occasion.
The students of the Latin quarter, by
invitation extend, d to them by their
friends, the washerwomen. Join forges

election of the queen of queens n ball
was given by tho students at Bulller's
famous resort, Tne glrU from tho
laundries were bright and coquettish
In their chic dresses and miow-whlte
petticoats. They were all fresh-looking
and vivacious and the ball was
unhampered by petty conventionalities.
To relieve the monotony- If there
ever could be any In such a place a
fancy dance was Introduced for the
amusement of the rest of the crowd.

wo drove along we passed crowds of
natives, tolling along under their hejivy
loads or testing under the old eovered

got off at wtlii, accompanied by two
coolies, who actetl as guides and car

For the first two hours we followed
a beautiful path which, at the com
mencement, led us through avenues or
banana tices and tall scarlet erotoiiB,
then diverging round a shoulder or Ihe
mountain, we entered a wide, tangled
Jungle, where the feathery fronds of the
tree rents and the delicate green leaves
or tho plantain formed a lovely con
trast to the dark vistas of tho forest.
Here orchids nestle in the thick. moBsy
undergrowth nnd oleanders shed ihelr
delicate blossoms on a carpet of tiny

climbing, very trying to the eyes on ac
count of the sun striking on the white,
volcanic soil, nnd terribly hot, as tho
sun was already high In the heavens.
The crater consisted or an arena or
yellow sulphurous lava, while a huge
blowholo occupied tho center, emitting
clouds or steam and causing tho whole
summit to quiver. The surrace or this
lava mound was honeycombed with
small steam holer, and dangerous-looking
hollows, which suggested prudeneo
lu lt3 exploration. Indeed, tho earth,
literally trembling beneath one's feet,
gave little confidence of security from

man who has a telescope with which to

Put the earth up there In the place of
.Jupiter and the naked eye would with
dlfllctilty be able to see It. Jupiter is
II0O times larger than the earth In bulk
or volume, and its surface area exceeds
that of the earth about 10 times.
It would seem as If ihe ancients must
have had some inkling of the fact that
that planet Is the largest of all tne
worlds that revolve around the sun
when they bestowed upon It the name
or the gieatest of the gods.
We have almost no evidence what

terlals or Jupiter. The spectroscope
cannot aid us, because Jupiter dois not
Bhlne by Its own light, and the suullghi
rellected from It comes from the upper
surface of Its dense clouds, and conse
quently makes no revelations concern

eis or varying density, which may w
separated by comparatively viar
spaces. Appearances have been noticed
on Jupiter such as would he produced
by the shadows of gieat clouds, as
broad as some of our continents, fnlllng
upon other clouds floating hundred. of
miles beneath them.
If these appearances are not decep
tive Jupiter's clouds evidently iloat at,
proportionally, a far greater clevu'lon
than those or the earth. Tin highest
of our clouds are, perhaps, ten miles
above the eattb: the loftiest elouds on
Jupiter may be a thousand miles high.
And these tremendous clouds are
swi'pt along by belts of wind that are
no less wonderful. Jupiter turns very
rast on Its axis, notwithstanding Its
enormous size. It takes less than ten
hours to tnnke a complete rotation,
whllo the little earth requires twenty
four hours, On the equator of Jupiter
everything Is flying around at the inte
of -IM) miles in a minute! The resulting
centrifugal strain Is so gnat that the
equatorial parts or the vast planet
bulge and swell out thousands or miles.
Jupiter Is more than .1.1)00 miles
broader through Its equator than
through its poles!
All things must there experience n
powerful and resistless tendency urg
ing them toward the tquator. If the
planet turned about three times faster
than It does, objects would wel.-h noth
ing at all along the equator.
The effect of this fearful velocity of
rotation Is shown by the streakti nnd
lines or clouds that the telescope re
veals surrounding Jupiter. At one
place In the southern hemisphere there
Is an Immense, mysterious, llery-lnok-Ing
mass, as large in extent ns tho
whole surface of tho earth, which dur
ing the past eighteen yenis has been
thrust up nmong the rushing and tum
bling clouds In one of the great trade
wind belts of Jupiter, Hy actual ob
servation tho clouds uro hurled against
the western end of that mysterious oh
etnelo until they pile up there in vast
Blowing masses, and are swept past It
In gyrntlng currents and eddies Infin
itely wilder and grander than the leap
ing waters In the Niagara whirlpool
wrge.
Swifter and swifter fly the streaming
clouds as the equator of tho planet Ib
approached. Great globe-shaped
masses, gleaming In tho sunlight, roll
nnd pitch In the mighty onward cur
rents. Through the comparatively
elrnr spaces glimpses are obtained of
other eloudlnnds deep bent nth. fll'nl
with other strange hurrying shapes, all
whirling madly on as If lacing for a
goal. Whatever else may or may not
be said of Jupiter, at any rate, It Is pre
eminently the world of clouds and
winds ami tempests.
Can we. then, Imagine Inhabitants lu
such a world of turmoil and unrest as
Jupiter !s? It depends entirely Mfon
what we mean by Inhabitants. It Is
evident that such beings as we are could
not live there, unless It Is true that
dtep beneath Jupiter's world of clouds
and cyclones Is hidden nnothcr globe
resembling the earth. On such a globe,
so placed. Inhabitants more or less like
those of this earth could live.
The great many-storied dome of
clouds above them would, perhaps, be
Just what they nettled In order to ob
tain a comfortable degree of heat In
their far-away planet. I'or we must
remember that Jupiter Is about five
times as far from the sun as the earth
Is, and that, consequently, the sunlight
and the sunheat on Jupiter are twenty
live times less effective than on alio
earth.
This Is because the Intensities of
light and heat vary Inversely ns the
square of the distance.
With a comparatively open nnd
cloudless atmosphere like ours the heat
from the sun would quickly be lost by
being radiated away Into space, and the
Inhabitants of Jupiter would shiver and
freeze In a worse than Arctic climate.
Hut with such an atmosphere as they
have surrounding them It Is not Im
probable that the effect of the greater
distance of the sun may be compen
sated by the capacity of th" atmospheie
Itself to retain and. so to speak, entrap
the heat for the benefit or the Inhiol
tauts. Hut all this argument proceeds upon
the assumption that such Inhabitants
must be framed of Just such materials,
possessing Just such denBlty as compose
our bodies. Manifestly that assump
tion Is purely gratuitous. As we have
alieady seen, the average density of
things In Jupiter Is much less than up
on the earth, ami we are not eeitain
that Its constituent materials may not
be as widely variant in nature from
those of our planet.
We have perfect JustifUatioii, then,
for assuming, If we choose, that the In
habitants of Jupiter are shaped from
substances very different from, and
much mote etherial than, those
that t ompose our bodies. That argu
ment would not In any manner
affect the sphltual or Intellectual side
of their nattiie. There Is no demon
strable leason why an Intelligent being
might not be made out of something else
than the water and carbon and other
elements comprised lu the human
frame.
If we accept the view that the spirit
of man. which Is the real essence or his
being, Is or a nature and composition so
line ns to transcend all the coarser laws
that govern the visible world, then
Is there nny reason why upon a planet
like Jupiter such a spirit may not be en
closed in a body as tenuous as vapor
even, or as light as cork?
Grant that, and It Is easy to see that,
no matter how much greater tho force
of gravity mny be upon Jupiter than
upon the earth, mortal beings could be
fotmeil, even out of the range of mu
tual elements known to us, who might
be suitably proportioned to gravitation,
even though they should attain a com
parative stature as gigantic lu relation
to ours as tho stature of Jupiter him
self Is when plated' side by side with
the little earth.
Not only Is there something far
more satlstartory to the lmaglrtlo-i in
conceiving or gigantic inhabitants
dwelling upon so stupendous n world,
rather than In thinking or them as mere
pigmies, but lu thus coiiBldcriug them
ns giants amid gigantic surroundings,
we tlo less violence, to the general order
or nature.
Let me, ns a kind or apology ror thus
venturing Into tho fields or imagination
that liu glittering Just beyond the farth
est outposts of science, quote what one
of the founders of modern science has
said about the possible Inhabitants of
another great world, only leas In size
than Jupiter, nnd which now alno
adorns ' our evening skies, Saturn.
These are the words of Sir Huhphrey
Davy, in the chapter called "The Vis
ion" In his beautiful "Consolation In

beings and or the wonderful manner In

Inspired by the enthur.lasin of Sir
Humphiey may we not Imagine that
the Inhabitants of Jupiter might sur
pass even those of Saturn on their 'n
tellectual side, shedding a spiritual Il
lumination among their aerial mm-
sions. which would be the grouted of
all Jupiter's marvels to the wandering

"We are old enough to Judge for our
