Searle's public i:«J# astronomical lectures, says the )[ton Star, was continued at the 10 University by a lecture on the *Are the Plane1* Inhabited?"

"Are these planets, which there is room for life, actually ^ted?" It is a question more in- jj to the general public than any wnich mere mathematics or phy- bave to deal. Almost every astron- er has been many times asked this stion. At every successful increase the eize of telescopes men vaguely that something may be done to ve it. "How much does this te'e- •pe magnify?" is the all-important tion to the popular mind. That is what the professional astronomer is r. He wants to get more light-- to LOW faint comets, to discover new ne- ae. But it is possible (hat telescopes never magnify so much as to ac- Uy enable us to see life on the plau- f If it could be seen anywhere it Id be seen on the moon; but even in these most favorable circam- inces, the disturbance produced by air are eo great as seemingly to dude the hope of seeing any object small as men, or even aa the largest ' als. We have then to fallback upon the [nestion, "Are the planets inhabita- Je?" as the only one on which science is pable of giving us auy light. I say e planets, for the sun may be consid- ~ quite ont of the question. From hat.we know about it at present we be quite sure that it is not only in- lsely hot on its surface, so hot as to troy all possibility of life, but that it yet hotter toward the center. The eory was maiutained for a long time, the great authority of Sir William irscbel, that there might be a habita­ nt in the sun, but no one holds that ow. The probabilities about the moon v® been given in a previous lecture, e only possibility of habitation on moon would be on the other side, ioh we do not see, and it is extremely Improbable that there is any difference between one^e and tjjfs, other. In discussing the jjlanetff we will be- fin with the outer ones. With regard to tJranus and Neptune the mere defi­ ciency of light and heat from the sun is not a fatal objection to their habitabil­ ity- The atmospheric arrangements C*n easily be such as to secure enough, •nd, in fact, tbe planets themselves nay by their own warmth contribute a great deal to this end. And as for light *11 that is required is to make eyes tore sensitive or their pupils larger, he light, after all, on Neptune, the most distant of all, is by no means sig­ nificant. It is 700 times that of the lull moon and equal to that given by a large electric arc lamp at the distance of a few feet. It has been said that the*e planets may possibly be warm; in fact, the dan- Sr is here. T1>b probability is that ey are too warm; in fact, too hot to stand on. This is almost certainly the ease with Jupiter and Saturn. These •re probably, especially Jupiter decid­ edly incandescent and perve as suns, or, it least, as furnaces to the satellites that ircle around them. The satellites of these four outer planets, however, give • much more promising field for specu­ lation. There is no reason why any one of them, or, in fact, all may not be in a habitable state. Much has been said of tiie beauty of the Saturpian system as seen from the planet ife-elf. The view from its outer satellite, Japetus, which lies outsiile of the plane of the ring,' would certainly be magnificent, perhaps finer, than the view of the ring from Saturn itself. We now come in our inward course to ie planet Mars. Here we have more ' positive signs of habitability than in any others of our system. We have land aqd water, seasons like our own, and, in fact, a planet similar to the earth. The climate, indeed, seems to be warmer on the whole than our own, in spite of its greater distance from the sun, but if anything we should see that the most favorable period for habitability on this-planet was passing away. The indications are that the seas are drying up and the atmosphere disappearing, •s to Venus and Mercury we can hardly form any decided opinion, but it seems most likfly that they are in the state that the earth was in in some of its geo­ logical ages, in which it was fitted to be the abode of vegetable life and of some nshitcfl organism, but not of the higher forms.: The evidence, then, as a whole, is •gainst the actual habitability of most of the planets of our system, but would it not suffice to satisfy the mind of those who crave after a plu. llity of worlds to believe that all the planets, though not ^perhaps inhabited at present, have been pr will be? The argument from the habitation to the inhabitant is stronger if we put it in this form. If we see some conditions indicating convenience to life, though they be imperfect or in- oomplete, we can say that though there be no life there now there may have been or there may be in • the future. If we see a house wivh only its frame work ap we say, "No one lives there now, but it is being built for some one to live in," •ad when Ave see a house in ruins we Mj, "Somebody lived there once." Now this is very plausible and I think can be held as probable. The teaching of ge >logy wai that the earth was a longtime uninhabitable, and we can shut our eyes to the conclusion from the action of natural causes would at some time in the dis­ tant future become uninhabitable again, •nd the history of the earth is probably the history of the other planets if they are to be allowed to develop in a nat­ ural way. What portion of the total life of the planets is that in which it be­ come-) habitable by beings like our­ selves we can not well determine. The bability is that it is not a very great rt ion of the whole period of develop- t and decadence. So that if we take ets in general on which we can see n signs one way or the other, the eliitoceH are very probably against its being jast now in a habitable state. The sumber of the satellities is suffi­ ciently great to warrant us in assuming that some one or two of them at least may prob­ ably now be fitted for intelligent life. Of course the probability for life in the universe is vastly increased if we can assume that the other stars have planets •round them as well as our sun. And, indeed, the suns themselves may ulti­ mately become inhabitable. We* know •t least one case of a body sun- like in dimension which has either ceased to givo light or never gave it. It is only in exceptional cases that we can be aware of the existence of such bodies, howentf numerous they may be. NEWWKD --HOW long does a man have > be married before his wife • ^ <*,.' v •/» t > Ti? which gained such notoriety in Char­ lotte in 188(5. It is a smoking tree, aud baffles all efforts at explanation. It is a white mulberry tree, and stands on the sidewalk in front of the residence of Levi Yoder. It was brought from Illinois a year or two ago, and is now about twelve feet high, with a bushy top and taany lateral branches. Last Sunday one of the family noticed a puff of smoke proceed from one of the limbs, and by watching it closely, puffs identical in appearance to cigarette smoke were seen starting every now and then from all over the tree; sometimes from the leaves, some­ times from the bloom, sometimes from the bark of the limbs or trunk of the tree. The puffs are at irregular inter­ vals ; sometimes two or three at once from various parts of the tree, and sometimes they are several seconds or a half minute apart. They just seem to come at haphazard, from any part of the tree, and, as they ascent in the air, look exactly like the smoke from a cigarette. Since the curiosity first became generally known, large crowds, both of town and country people, can be seen there at any time in the day. All doubting Thomases are soon convinced on the first visit that the tree "do smoke." Among the white people it is only looked upon as a curiosity. But the negroes don't like the thing at all. One negro woman, after intently watch­ ing the puffs a few minutes, started off in a run, saying: "I wouldn't lib dar, fur nothin'; people better go to doin' better 'bout dis town." A negro man said: "I'm gwine stay way from dat thing. I can smell de brimstone * clear down to de libery stable." A Wonderful Baby* In 1721 there was barn at Lubeck, Germany, one of the most remarkable characters ever known iu the history of the world, or perhaps, that will ever be known in all the times to come, little Christian Henry Heinecken, who could pronounce every word contained in the Gonial language when but 9£ months old. • " When one year of age he knew all the leading events in the world's history, and was as familiar with the Pentateuch as most modern professors were sup­ posed to be with their first text booK. At 14 months he could give a complete liistorV of ever book in the Old and New Testament; at 2 years and 6 months he could answer any question in geography or ancient history. He C 'uld hold conversation with the learned savants in German, French, Latin, and Dutch, when ending the third year of his life, which terminated a few months later by his death in 1725, in the fourth year of his age. In the few short weeks allotted to him, little Henry was baby, boy, youth, man, and gray beard, learning more in that short time than many of the world's greatest personages have been able to learn in the years of a long life. Just a little while before his death he was called before the King of Denmark, who showed the little prodigy every mark of respect. Returning to his native eity he set about studying the religions and learning to write, which, added to his other acquirements, was too much for his delicate health, result­ ing in his death, as above mentioned.. HThe Bread We E*t. ' ' Bread has been called the staff of life, and yet this figure of speech, in view of the kind of bread that most persons eat, is a decided misnomer. The ordinary white flour, which forms the basis of so much food that is eaten, is principally a starch compound, and contains only 3 of the 15 elements that go to compose the body, namely, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. To prove that white flonr does not meet the requirements of the body, Magendie fed it wholly to a number of dogs, and at the end of 40 days they died. Others to whom he gave the wheat meal, at the end of this time, were ia first-class condition; More thau half of the children under 12 years of age have decayed teeth, owing to the insufficient supply of the required min­ eral ingredients, and this defficienoy is caused as a rule by eating white bread. Dyspepsia, constipation, loss of nerve power and many other diseases are pro­ duced by improper feeding. Sulphur is required for the growth of the hair, yet white flour does not contain a trace; the phosphates are also notably lacking, and as these substances are absolutely necessary in the animal economy, then, arguing a priori, the use of bread as ordinarily prepared should be inter­ dicted. Wheti flonr is made of the whole grain of wheat, we have an article of food which contains all the elements that the body requires for its support; and this flour should be universally used in spite of the false aesthetic taste that demands a* "white loaf."--Science Amateur.

I Calony Where t;«« Rxperlmeat b Batafc Tried. i The co-operative colony at Topolo- banvpo, Sinatoa, has excited much in­ terest on this coast and at the East among those who believe iu the jdeOs of co-operation and socialism, writes a San Francisco correspondent. Several times it has been reported as reduced to the last grasp, but from the most recent advices it bids fair to secure a new lease of life. About a year ago there was a regular exodus of colonists, who beanie disgusted at a steady diet of parched corn and baked beans, but more people cume on from the East, and there are now 150 persons at La Lagia, the colony farm, and a dozen at the port of Topolobampo. Those who have taken an interest in the colony de­ clare now that its future existence and prosperity are assured, but whether it will be carried on in the pure co-opera- tive spirit is doubtful. A. K. Owen, the founder, has spent the winter at the City of Mexico, and has succeeded in getting the grant origi­ nally made to the Credit Foncier Com­ pany, and which lapsed through their failure to do specified work, transferred to him in person. He engages to estab- lise within two years a model colony of 500 families, and to settle 1,500 more families in the ensuing five years. He believes in pure socialism, and he tried to carry out in the Topolobampo colony the system of "integral co-opera­ tion" which he had developed in a book on the subject. His main scheme was to construct a railroad, which would give employment to colonists and serve to carry their produce to market For three years Owen attempted to get cap­ ital to build this railroad, and mean­ while the colonists waited for him to work, without doing anything to de­ velop their land and become self-sup­ porting. The present condition of the colony is this: The farm of 400 acres can be easily worked by irrigation, as a »steam pump may be run by the exhaust from the flour mill. The "colony has a large orchard and vineyard, not yet in full bearing. It also has a sugar mill, a soap factory, tinshop, blacksmith shop and shoe shop and has begun to make brick. Owen evidently regards the "Kansas- Sin aloa Investment Company" as a sheet anchor in case the Credit Foncier fails. This company was organized last year at Enterprise, Kan., by C. B. Hoff- may. At last accounts it had bought ana partly paid for 67,000 acres along the line.of the railroad between Topolo­ bampo and the Fuerte River. Owen's recent concession from tEe Mexican government gives him title to one-third the vacant land which he surveys in a belt of 31 miles along the line of the railroad, and privilege to buy another one-third at government rates. Social life at the colony is in a curious state, as the place is divided on the propriety of allowing unmarried people of 'different sexes to associate without chaperons. The original settlers are very strict in their views, but some of the "later ac­ quisitions are said to lean toward dan­ gerous laxity in the social relations. fi£ H4I> BfiES UNDER THE EN£MFft r'i • WR8 •• • •• #.t & through a a concave }t pendant logic with- tkl_. ms & Which lovers are separated they use the mails.

While shivering around your winter fire or looking over the fields just be­ ginning to turn green, did you ever think that even at that very moment the harvester is bu iy in some part of the world? And that, while one is rest­ ing another is bring forth fruit. January sees harvest ended in most districts of Australia and New Zealand, while the people of Chili and other countries of southern South America "ire just beginning to reap the fraits of their toil. February, March--Upper Egypt and India begin and oontinue harvest through these months. April enlarges the number with har­ vest in Syria, Cyprus, coast of Egypt, Mexico, Cuba, Persia and Asia Minor. May is a busy time in Central Asia, Persia, Algeria, Morocco, Southern Texas, Florida, China and Japan. June calls forth the harvesters in California, Oregon, the Southern United States, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Ronmelia, Turkey, Danubian States, Southern France, Greece - and Sicily. July sees harvest in England, Ne­ braska, Switzerland, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Upper Canada, Northern France, Germany, Austria and Poland, besides several unnamed northern states in our own oountry. August continues the gathering in the British isles, France. Germany, Belgium, Holland, Manitoba, Lower Canada, Denmark and Russia. September rules Northern Sootland, southern parts of Sweden and Norway, as, well as the eold islands of the North Sea. October is the harvest month for com in America and for hard} vegetables in Northern Sweden, Norway and Ireland. November harvest time begins in South Afrioa, Patagonia and South Australia. .

A very funny plant in the government botanical garden is the so-cailed Barber plant, the leaves of which are used in some parts of the east by rubbing on the face to keep the beard from grow­ ing. It is not supposed to have any ef­ fect on a beard that is already rooted, but merely to act as a preventive, boys employing it to keep the hair from get­ ting a start on their face. It is also em­ ployed by some oriental people who de­ sire to keep parts of their heads free from hair, as a matter of fashion. Also found iu the botanical garden is the "cruel plant," which is so designated because it catches butterflies and kills them for sheer sport. Its flowers at­ tract the poor little flutterer by the honey it offers, and when the victim lights upon it it grabs the butterfly by the head and holds it fast until the cap­ tive dies. Then the flower drops it on the ground and lies in wait for a fresh unfortunate. A curious looking tree from the Isthmus of Panama bears a round red fruit as big as an apple, which has this remarkable faculty, that its juice rubbed on tough beef Or chicken makes the meat tender by the chemical power it possess to separate the flesh fiber. One is interested to ob­ serve in the botanical greenhouse three kinds of plants that have real consump­ tion of the lungs--the leaves, of course, being the lungs of a plant. The dis­ ease is manifested by the turning of the leaves from green to white, the affec­ tion gradually spreading from one spot untiC when a leaf is all white, it is just about to die. Cruelly enough, as it would seem, the gardeners only try to Eerpetuate the disease for the sake of eauty and curiosity, all plants of those varieties that are too healthy being thrown away.--Boston Transcript. *>*• .« t.-i. • ' .* J' i ' Snt Once the Bifles ni if is Own Soldier* CoTrrvd Him, Mil Never Before Wu be »o Frightened. "Was I ever afraid in battle?" said an English army officer. "Many times. But there are different kinds of fright. I have Reived in India, in Egypt and in Western Africa, but the worst 'funk' I was ever in was When there was no enemy within thousands of miles of me. "I was a captain at the time and was stationed at Port Royal, Jamaica. We had just got a lot of recruits on our hands, the rawest, greenest recruits you i ever saw. I was drilling them in rifle practice at long range, and had great trouble to make them obey orders with precisioq. In fact, one could never be sure whether they would fire when you wanted them to present, or present when you wanted them to fire. "I had been sending them through a practice one afternoon, and they were j so terriblv stupid that I got into a vile ' humor. The day was fearfully warm, * and the sun beat down so fiercely that my horse, a wicked brute, got into almost an ungovernable temper. I sat on my horse at the right of the squad, and was giving them volley practice at long range. When my patience was entirely gone, the men seemed to gain a little sense, and began to fire with rapidity and accnracy. Things were running as Bmoothly as clockwork, and I was soon soothed into cheerfulness despite the heat. Not so my horse. He was never more vicious. "We were getting along so well by this time that it was 'Ready I Present ? Fire!' and the volley would ring out like a single report "Once I cried out 'Ready P and the work was as pretty as that of veterans. " 'Present,' and every rifle went up to shoulders in perfect form. At the very iustant I was about to say 'Fire!' my fretting horse bolted, cutting directly across the range. I was not twenty feet from the squad. My eve caught the glittering rifles levelled right at me, and instinctively I closed mv eyes and ducked my head. If you know what British soldiers are von can imagine my feelings, my terrible fear, for as I said before, I waS never before in such a 'funk.' I knew that if I opened my mouth those recruits would riddle my body with rifle balls, for they were expecting the word 'Fire!' and probably would have taken any sound for that. My desire to cry out 'As you were!' to get the rifles off my body, was so great that I had to clench my teeth to keep from crying out. Of course the whole thing took only a few seconds, but it was many minutes longer than that to me. "When my plunging horse h&d car­ ried me from before the motionless rifles, I managed to wheel him. As be came around 1 cried 'Fire!' and every one of those stolid men obeyed the com­ mand with absolute precision. That assured me all the more that had I opened my mouth w.hiie crossing their range I should have beee a dead man, for they were not drilled sufficiently to distinguish a different order at the laRt instant, and yet followed one's words with a blind fidelity. "I have often thought," added the officer with a strange smile on his lips, "that those recruits fancied I had cut across them to test their drill, for they showed no surprise, not the faintest sign of emotion when I suddenly wheeled and cried 'Fire!' But you may well believe that this was not the case. And I pledge you that never afterward in rifle practice did I get* caught in so d^n|^rous and helpless a aituatiog^ Cheaters Imagination. " ^ Mfcci&ulay's imagination and lristotTcal knowledge enabled him, as he walked the streets of London at night, to change the town into ancient Rome. Rufus Choate, when a boy, used to make the scenes of poetry and history real by transferring them to the shores of his native Essex. "There," said he, years after, point­ ing out a rocky, cavernous knoll to his son-in-law as they were riding from Ips­ wich to Essex, "there is the descent to Avernus." One day, when he was. the leading lawyer of Boston, a celebrated lecturer said to him, "Mr. Choate, I am think­ ing of writing a lecture on one of the an- oient generals, but am in doubt which one to choose." "Hannibal is your • man!" answered Mr. Choate, with animation. "Think of him crossing the Alps iu winter, with nobody at his back but a parcel of Nu- midians and Moors, riding on horses without any bridles, to set himself sgainst the imperial Roman power!" One element of Mr. Choate's strength as an advocate was that vivifying imag­ ination, by which he so pictured scenes that the jury, looking at them through his eyes, saw just what he intended them to see, and were blind as to things he was anxious they should ignore. Mr. Choate's talent for multiplying words which might not signify a great deal, but which not only sounded well, but helped to create with the jury the impression he sought to oonvey, is. well known. On one occasion, in defending an in­ surance company against which a claim had been brought for the loss of a ship which was declared by the defence to be utterly unseaworthy, Mr. Choate made a great impression by including in his plea these swelling words: "And so, gentlemen, overburdened with her well-nigh worthless cargo, and carrying her far more precious freight of human life, the vessel started on her voyage, painted but perfidious--a coffi%. but no ship!"--Youth's Companion. ] •:rSfSOXXM.
