There was, for instance, some reason to believe that We' could trace many geological phenomena to our varying rotation round the sun. Mr. Croll had recently assigned reasons leading to the conclusion that the climate, at all events, in the cir cumpolar and temperate zones of the earth, would depend on whether the winter of a given region occurred when the earth at its period of greatest eccentricity was in aphe lion or perihelion. If the former, the annual average of temperature would be lower; if the latter, higher than when the eccentricity of the earth's orbit was less. If Mr. Croll's theory on the subject were correct, we should be able to approximate to a test of the time which had elapsed be tween the different geological epochs. That gentleman's computation on the point would certainly make it not less than 100,000 years since the last glacial epoch, a time nut very long in geological chronology. When we compared with the old theories of the earth, by which the apparent changes in its surface were accounted for by convulsions and cataclysms, the modern view inaugurated by Lyell, now, if not wholly, at all events to a great extent, adopted, it seemed strange that the referring past changes to similar causes to those which were now in operation should have remained uninvestigated until the present century. But it was easier to invent a Deus ex ma.-Aina than to trace out the influence of slow continuous change. In geology a deluge or valcano was supplied ; in palreentology a new race was created whenever theory required it; how such new races began the theorist did not stop to inquire. A curious speculator might say to a pale3ontologist of even recent date, in the words of Lucretius : "Nam neque no ccelo cecidisse animals possunt Nec terrestria do salsis (miss° lacun a. ~~~ ..w. ir4 re was • , tpasj rarvadireg; N 4_ r, r it • .t.• strata.

The more they investigated the more they found that in existing phenomena graduation from the like to the seemingly unlike prevailed, and that in the changes which took place in time, gradual progress was, and apparently must be, the course of nature. Let him endeavour to apply that view to the recent progress of some of the more pro minent branches of science. In astronomy, from the time when the earth was considered a flat plain, bounded by a flat ocean, which successive discovery had brought with it similitudes and analogies between the earth. and many of the objects of the universe with which our senses, aided by instruments, had made us acquainted. Passing over the establishment of the Copernican system, he might re mark that the proofs of that gravitation was not confined to our solar system, but that it pervaded the universe, had received many confirmations from the labours of mem- 41-TTITA.L LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION 14, ttt,(ltleorporated by Act ot 1850).

Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given In this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. Tho poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c., te:,eives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each n ight numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans aro, for want accommodation, refusodadmittanco, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, 1'2,000 has boon raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will lie required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

SWIMMING MATCH BETWEEN HENRY GURII AND DAVID PAMPLIN.—These renowned young swimmers swam a most exciting match at a late hour on Tuesday night! attracting so many metropolitan swimmers to witness their extraordinary skill in swimming that the long Wenlock Bath, in which the race took place, seemed almost lined on each side by a thick living wall of s pectators. The backers of each claimed a victory for their favourito,but the referee declared the result to be as exact a dead-heat as ever hap pened. The time at the various distances, as taken by Mr. H. Woodstock, the official time-keeper, was 47 sec. at GO yards, 1 min. 39 sec. at 120, 2 mi n. 36 sec. at 180, 3 min. 35 see. at 240, 4 min. 32 sec. at 300, 5 min. 34 sec. at 360, 6 min. 37 sec. at 420, 7 Min. 31 sec- at 840, 8 min. 37 sec. at 510, 9 min. 43 sec. at 600, 10 min, 45 sec. at G6O, and 11 min. 51 sec. at 720.

The Parliamentary Committee in their report expressed regret that another session had been allowed to pass without any step being taken by the Legislature to promote the study of science in our great public schools. They referred, however, to the Act passed to amend the Acts relating to the Imperial standards of weight, measure, and capacity, as one which would effect very useful reforms in the constitution of the office having the custody of the Imperial standards, whereby the organisation of the Depart ment would be placed on a more scientific basis. Regarding the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, the report said, " Your committee will not fail to advocate such measures as may be necessary for placing this Department on a satisfac tory footing. They will neither be unmindful of the part which they took in its original establishment, nor of the benefits which it has already conferred, and which, if succmsfully reorganised, it will con tinue to confer on meterological science." The concluding recommendation that Sir Henry Raw linson be elected a member of the committee was of course complied with. To the list of correspond ing members the names of the following foreign men of science who attended the Birmingham meet ing were added :—Captain Belavenetz, Geheimrath von Dechen, M. Gaudry, Professor Grube, Profes sor Kiepert, Professor F. Romer, Chevalier C. Negri, and Professor Steenstrup. Those of Mr. J. Hind, F.R.S., and Mr. T. Close were added to the list of vice-presidents and to fill the place vacated by the resignation last year of Mr. Hopkins, as joint general secretary. Mr. Thos. Archer Hirst, Ph. D., F.R.S., Professor of Mathematical Physics, Uni versity College, London, was unanimously chosen. Incidentally it was mentioned that invitations for future meetings of the Association had been re ceived from Dundee, Norwich, Plymouth, and Exeter. The sectional committees having been duly appointed at once adjourned to their several com mittee-rooms, and proceeded to frame the lists of the following day's business. At 8 o'clock the general body of members and associates assembled in the theatre to receive the farewell observations of Professor Phillips, to wit ness the installation of the president elect, Mr. Grove, Q.C., and to listen to the inaugural address. Of the latter we give a condensed report : Mr. GROVE said that if their rude predecessors who at one time inhabited the caverns by which Nottingham was surrounded could rise from their graves and see the town in its present state, it might be doubtful whether they would have sufficient knowledge to be surprised at what they witnessed. The machinery, almost resembling organic beings in delicacy of structure, by which were fabricated products of world-wide reputation ; the powers of matter, applied to given motion to that machinery, were so far removed from what must have been the conceptions of the semi-barbarians to whom he al luded, that they could not look on those things with intelligent wonder. Yet that immense progress had all been effected step by step ; nor was it in those branches of natural knowledge only which tended to improvements in economical arts and manufac tures that science had greatly advanced. In the study of our own planet and the organic beings with which it was crowded, and in so much of the uni verse as vision aided by the telescope had brought within the scope of observation, the present century had surpassed any antecedent period of equal dura tion. Though by no means the only one, yet an important cause of the rapid progress of science was the growth of associations for the promotion of physical knowledge generally, or of special branches of it. Since the foundation of the Royal Society, now more than two centuries ago, a vast number of kindred societies had sprung up in this country and in Europe. The advantages conferred by such societies were manifold. They enabled those who were devoted to scientific research to combine, compare, and check their observations ; they fur nished the means of submitting to a competent tribunal notices and memoirs, and of obtaining for their authors and others, through the medium of the discussions which ensued, information given by those who were best informed on the particular subject, on which a sound judgment could be based as to whether it would be worth while to prosecute the researches into that subject still further. Those advantages and others which could be named pertained to the association, the 36th meeting of which they were that evening assembled to inaugurate, and which from its intermit:cnt and peripatetic character en joyed opportunities of furthering its objects which belonged to none of those societies which were fixed as to their locality. Every votary of physical science must be anxious to see it recognized by those institutions of the country which could in the greatest degree promote its cultivation and reap from it the greatest benefit. The principal educational establish ments on the one hand and on the other the Government, in many of its departments, were, in his opinion, the insti tutions which might best fulfil those conditions. The earlier the mind was trained to a pursuit of any kind the deeper and the more permanent were the impressions which it re ceived. ‘, Quo semel est imbuta recens, servabit odorem " Testa din." Little could be achieved in scientific research without an acquaintance with it in youth, and while upon that point he might observe that he did not wish to make any com plaint of the tardiness with which science had been re ceived at our public schools, and, with some exceptions, at our Universities. Those great establishments had their roots in historical periods, and much time and patient en deavour were requisite to graft a new branch of thought with success on a stem to which it was exotic. Nor should he desire to see the study of languages, of his tory, of all those refined associations which the past had transmitted to us, ever neglected. There was, however, room for the two things. It was sad to think of the number of so-called educated men, who, travelling by railway, voyaging by steamboat, consulting the almanac for the time of sunrise or full moon, had not the most elemen tary knowledge of a steam engine, a barometer, or a quad rant, while they wore in a state of crass ignorance as to the cause of the trade winds or the form of a comet's path. Might he hope that the slight infiltration of scientific studies now happily begun would extend till it occupied its fair space in the education of the young, and that those who might be able learnedly to discourse on the digamma would not be ashamed of knowing the principles of an air pump or a telescope, and would not, as Bacon had com plained in the case of his contemporaries, despise such knowledge as something mean and mechanical. To assert that the great Departments of Government should encou rage physical science might appear a truism, and yet it was but of late that it had seriously been done. Now the habit of consulting men of science on impor tant questions of national interest was becoming a re cognised practice, and a more definite sphere of usefulness for those duly qualified men who might be content to give up the•niore tempting study of abstract science for that of its practical application, would, ho had no doubt, in time be provided. In that respect the Report of the Kew Committee for the present year afforded a subject of congratulation. The Kew Observatory, the petted child of the BritishlAsso ciation, might posaibly become an important natiodna low its blishment, and if so, while it would not, he tru character of a home for untrammelled teorological Depart it would have superseded the Me of skilful and ex ment of the Board of Trade with a staff physi.csalte research, periencod observers. That was ono d otfhethloabroesuurlstsowf which the general growth of science, and British Association in particular, r h e a ul p . r a o t d e uc t e h d e ; sbsutoihale ob did not, on that occasion, intend to 13 bers of the Association, among others of Lord Rosse, Lord Wrottesley, and Sir John Herschel, the two latter of whom had devoted special attention to the orbits of double stars, the first mentioned to those probably more recent systems called nebula). There was, however, another class of ob servations, quite new in its importance, which had formed a special subject of contribution to the reports of the As sociation--he alluded to those on meteorites at which their lamented member, Professor Baden Powell, assiduously laboured. It would occupy too much of their time to de tail the efforts of Bessel, Schwinke, the late Sir J. Lubbock, and others, as applied to the formation of star charts, for aiding the observations which Mr. Alexander Herschel, Mr. Brayley, Mr. Sorby, and others were now engaged in studying. As it was, there was evidence almost amounting to proof that those meteors were comical bodies moving in the interplanetary space by gravitation round the sun, pear not to have the extent of empty space formerly n an ew d someelem wouldenpterehfaepesntrionunuady.plaTniettes.uniTvherastevie attri buted to it, but to be studded between the larger and more view g a t v h e u s u a s pa visible masses with smaller planets, if that term were por- witted to be applied to meteorites. Observations were now being made at the periods at which meteorsappeared in the greatest numbers—at Greenwich by Mr. Glaisher, atCam bridge by Professor Adams, and at Hawkhurst by Mr. A. Herschel. If, he might add, the same scrutiny were ap plied to other parts of the heavens as to the zone between Mars and Jupiter, it would be no far-fetched speculation to suppose that between the asteroids or bodies of a smaller size than what were known as the ancientplanots, of which instead of seven we now counted 88, and the meteorites, bodies of intermediate size existed until the space occupied by our solar system became filled up with planetary bodies varying in size from that of Jupiter-1,240 times larger in volume than the earth—to that of a cannon ball or even a pistol bullet. Another half century would not improbably enable us to ascertain that the now seemingly vacantinter planetary spaces were occupied by smaller bodies still which had hitherto escaped notice, just as the asteroids had done until the time of Olhers and Piazzi. But the evidence of continuity as pervading the universe did not stop at tele scopic observation ; chemistry and physical optics furnished us with now proofs of its existence. These meteoric bodies which had from time to time come so far within the reach of the earth's attraction as to fall upon its surface gave on analysis metals and oxides similar to those which belonged to the structure of the earth. M. Daubtee, too, as appeared from a series of papers which he had recently communi cated to the French Academy, had succeeded in forming from terrestrial rocks substances very much resembling meteorites, so that a closer relationship, although by no means identity, had been established between the earth and those wanderers from remote regions. But while chemistry, analytic and synthetic, thus assisted us in ascertaining the relationship of our planet tometeorites, its relation in com position to other planets, to the sun, and to more distant suns and systems, was demonstrated by another science— optics. Chemical analysis by the spectrum, as well as gravitation and physical constitution, pointed out to us that matter had similar characteristics in other worlds than our own ; but when we passed to the consideration of those other attributes of matter which were now recog nised as forces or modes of motion, we found the evidence of continuity still stronger. What were magnetism and electricity ? forces so universal, so apparently connected with matter as to be regarded as two of its invariable attri butes. So with light, heat, and chemical affinity ; it seemed to him—though as he had taken an active part for a quar ter of a century in promoting that view, ho might not be looked upon as an impartial judge—that it was nowproved that all those forces were so connected inter se and with motion that they must be regarded as modifications of each other, and as resolving themselves objectively into motion s and subjectively into something which produced or resisted motion, and which wo called force. He might perhaps be permitted to recal to the notice of the meeting a forgotten experiment 'which many years ago he had made et the Lon don Institution, and which appeared to him to be important from the consequences to be deduced from it. A train of multiplying wheels ended with a small metallic wheel, which, when the train was put in motion, revolved with extreme rapidity against the periphery of the next wheel, a wooden one. In the metallic wheel was placed a small piece of phosphorus, and as long as the wheels revolved the phosphorus remained unchanged, but the moment the last wheel was stopped, by moving a small lever attached to it, the phosphorus burst into a flame. His object was to show that while motion of the mass was con tinued heat was not generated, but that when arrested, the force continuing to operate, the motion of the mass became heat in the particles. The ex periment differed from that of Romford's cannon boring and Davy's friction of ice, in showing that there was no heat while the motion was unresisted, but that the heat was in some way dependent on the motion being impeded. We had now become so accustomed to that view that when ever wo found motion resisted wo looked upon heat, elec tricity, or some other force as the necessary result. If magnetism, as it was proved to be, was connected with the other forces or affections of matter, it must be cosmical, and not merely terrestrial. One of the most startling sugges tions, he might add, as to the consequence resulting from the dynamical theory of heat was that of Mayer, to the effect that by the loss of vis viva occasioned by friction of the tidal waves, as well as by their forming, as it wore, a drag upon the earth's rotatory movement, the velocity of the earth's rotation must be gradually diminished, and that thus, unless some undiscovered compensatory action existed that rotation must ultimately cease, and changes hardly calculable take place in the solar system. But our sun, our earth, and planets were constantly radiating heat into space ; so in all probability were the other suns, the stars, and their attendant planets. What became of that heat thus radiated into space ? If the universe had no limit, and it was difficult to conceive one, there was an in cessant evolution of heat and light, and yet more was given off than was received by each cosmical body, for otherwise night would be as bright and warm as day. What became of the enormous force thus apparently non-recurrent in the same form? Did it move or contribute to move suns and planets ? We were not in a position at present to solve the question ; but he know of no problem in celestial dynamics more deeply interesting, and wo might be no further re moved from its solution than the predecessors of Newton were from the simple dynamical relation of matter to matter which that potent intellect had .detected and demonstrated. Passing from extra-terrestrial theories to the narrower field of molecular physics, wo found the doctrine of correlation of forces steadily making its way. In a practical point of view, the power of converting one mode of force into another was of the highest importance. At a moment when the prospective exhaustion of our coalfields somewhat prematurely, perhaps, occupied men's minds' there was much encouragement to be derived from the know ledge that we could at will produce heat by tho expendi ture of other forces. Somecxperiments in electricity which had been made by Mr. 'Wilde and Mr. Holz tended clearly to show that by a mere formal disposition of matter one force could be converted into another, and as we might at no very distant day need for the daily uses of mankind heat, light, and mechanical force, and find our present re sources exhausted, the greater the extent to which we could invent new modes of conversion of forces the better the prospect we should have of supplying that want. It was:but a month from that time that the greatest triumph of force conversion had been attained. The chemical action generated by a little salt water on a few pieces of zinc now enabled us to converse with inhabitants o f the o pp osite hemisphere of this planet, and "put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes." In physiology, again, ve ry considerable strides were being made by studying the nto. rela tion of organised bodies to external forces. The az lhaobuorusr mightw hichbea tion of the chemical changes had h approximately m au h ad undergone arrived at the . b_ e y a n c r O : e e e x e a i mu tt ofin b 2a ta '-1 ex ercise of dynamical force. In body, changed forms in matter indicatingdealing question of the food however, we must not con fu b s i o it the y he • of muscular force with which gave permanent ca d wt taken a th n e ter s i u o b r j eet The carnivore were, no doubt, r e r q a u requisites e f for temporaryost powerfully c activity. oi c halois and gazelle had great that which supplied its stituted temporary capcit?bfotr muscular exertion though their food was vegetable.

The facts, also, which were made known to us the ono hand, they by geologica . l . inquiries, afforded striking evidence of continuity, might, on the other, owing to the breaks in the record, be used as argu ments against it. The physical breaks in the stratification sometimes, no doubt, rendered it next to impossible to fairly trace the order of succession of organisms by the evidence afforded by their fossil remains. Thus, there were nine great breaks in the Palreozoic series, four in the secondary, aul 040 41 the tertiary, besides those between Paha- E nihilo si crescere possent, (Tum) fierent juvenes subito ex infantibus parvis, E terraque exorta repente arbusta salirent ; Quorum nihil fieri manifestum est, omnia quando Paulatim crescunt, ut par est, semine certo, Crescentesque genus servant." —which might bo thus freely paraphrased, "You have abandoned the belief in one primteval creation at one point of time, you cannot assert that an elephant existed when the first saurians roamed over earth and water. Without, then, in any way limiting Almighty power, if an elephant were created without progenitors, the first elephant must, in some way or other, have physically arrived on this earth. Whence did ho come ? did he fall from the sky (i.e., from the interplanetary space)? did ho rise moulded out of a mass of amorphous earth or rock ? did he appear out of the cleft of a tree ? If he had no antecedent progenitors, some such beginning must be assigned to him." He knew of no scien tific writer who had since the discoveries of geology had become familiar, ventured to present in intelligible terms any definite notion of how such an event could have oc curred ; those who did not adopt some view of continuity were content to say God willed it; but would it not be more reverent and more philosophical to inquire by obser vation and experiment, and to reason from induction and analogy as to the probabilities of such frequent miraculous interventions? lie knew he was touching on delicate ground, and that a long time might elapsebefore that calm inquiry after truth which it was the object of associations like that to promote could be fully atta ined; but he trusted that the members of the British Association were sufficiently free from prejudice, whatever their opinions might be, to admit an inquiry into the general ques tion whether what wo termed species were and had been rigidly limited, and had at numerous periods been created comple to and unchangeable, or whether, in some mode or other, they have not grhually and indefinitely varied, and whether the changes due to the influence of sur rounding circumstances, to efforts to accommodate them selves to surrounding changes, to what was called natural selection, or to the necessity of yielding to superior force in the struggle for existence, as maintained by our illustrious countryman Darwin, had not so modified organisms as to enable them to exist under changed conditions. The ques tion whether among the smallest and apparently the most elementary forms of organic life the phenomenon of spon taneous generation obtained had recently formed the sub ject of careful experiment and animated discussion in France, and the general opinion which was arrived at was that, when such precautions were taken as to exclude from the substance submitted to experiment all possibility of germs from the atmosphere being introduced, no formation of organisms took place. The balance of experiment might, therefore, be fairly said to be against spontaneous genera tion. The progressive and more highly developed forms were, at all events, so far as the most enlarged experience wont to show, generated by reproduction. Nov, to suppose a zoophyte the progenitor of a mammal would at first sight appear to In au extravagant hypothesis, but the more the gaps between species were filled up by the discovery of inter mediate varieties, the stronger became the argument for transmutation, and the weaker that for successive creations became. The former view, then, became more and more consistent with experience, the latter more discordant from it. Certain it was that the more wo observe the more we in creased the subdivision of species, and, consequently, the number of those supposed creations to which he referred ; so that the new creations became innumerable, and yet of those we had no well authenticated instance, and in no other ob served operation of nature had we seen such a want of con- tinuity as would be evidenced by those frequent per saltioa deviations from uniformity, each of which was a miracle. The doctrine of Cuv:er—every day more and more borne out by observation —that each organ bora a definite relation to the whole of the individual, seemed to support the view of indefinite variation. If an animal sought its food or safety by climbing trees, its claws would become more prehensile, the muscles which acted on those claws must bacomo more developed, and each portion of the frame would mould it self to its wants. Another series of facts which presented an argument in favour of gradual succession were the phases of resemblance to inferior orders which the embryo passed through in its development, and the relations shown in what was termed the metamorphosis of plants ; facts difficult to be accounted for on the theory of frequent se parate creations, but almost inevitable on that of gradual succession. There was, however, a difficulty in to way of tracing a given organism to its parent form, which, from our conventional mode of following up genealogies, was never regar led in its proper light. Where were we to look for the remote ancestor of a given form ? Each ono among them, supposing none of their progenitors to have intermarried with relatives, would have, at about the period of the Norman Conquest, upwards of a hundred million direct ancestors of that generation, and if the inter mediate ancestors were added, double that number. Let any ono assume that one of his ancestors at the time of the Conquest was a Moor, another a Colt, and a third a Laplander, and that those three were preserved while all the others were lost, he would never recognise either of them as his ancestor ; he would only have the one hun drodth-millionth of the blood of each of them, and, as far as they were concerned, there would be no perceptible sign of identity of race. The recent discoveries in pale ontology showed that man existed on this planet at an epoch far anterior to that commonly assigned to him. The instruments connected with human remains, and indisputably the work of human hands, proved that to these remote periods the term civilisation could hardly bo applied. A little step-by-step reasoning would convinco the unprejudiced that what we called civ:lisation mast have been a gradual process. If even now habit, and prejudice resulting therefrom, vested interests, &c., re t'lrded for some time the general application of a new in vention, what must have been the degree of retardation d h a a r d z , u o m f e c n o t u s r s o e, n be th en is a m bl o e s t t o i i n n t d er ic e a s te tin o g n s ly ub a i f e r t among the comparatively uneducated bei ngs w hi c h th en ex isted e t the e ? br il oa o for detailed results the works of Darwin, Hooker, Huxley, Carpenter, Lyell, and others must be examined. If he ap peared to lean to the view that the successive changes in organic beings did not take place by sudden leaps, it was, he believed, from no want of impartial feeling. Perhaps the most convincing argument in favour of continuity whichdiffi could be presented to a doubting mind wo uld be t i h t at culty it would feel representing to it self a n y per beholding an e of nature. Who would not bo as tonished saune act oak tree spring up in a day, a nd not f ro m seed or shoot ? a law of nature, If we were satisfied that continu to explain why matter might humbly confess our inabilitywasiPtyover then, though wo to structural for mation,the true expression of Almighty to look for special interventions of we should • "' r a nges which were difficult to under stand,creative power in c removed from us in time, their con comitants because, being a w e l h e . e n p w hi e lo f s o o u p n h d y a oughtgap not to h t a r v y e should endeavour from was impressed with this gradual tendency were lost ; we their relics liyond ethv ao it s o e pa n in s sense nuolt bullet y h i e atllilienng beautiful was con to bridge r dislikes, truth was her only aim; but if a glow of necessary s t s h a r e y ground• ion Were permitted to a physical inquirer, to his admiration w ist i o th ry a , a n n ti d r inter relation and inter-action of each element of the cosmos, to evoke .tthoevirerh changes the dynamical conditions of the universe, than could be conveyed by avvinneoi mind l ed i bd k ys e b s tyf ha o trehr nceooonrrvedi exquisiteec mysteries, by convulsions, or by cataclysms. But the doctrine of continuity was not solely applicable to physical inquiries. The same modes of thought which led us to sco continuity in the field of the microscope as in the • in • ' universe, infinitydownwards as in infinity upwards, would lead us to see it in the history of our own race. By patient investigation how much had we learnt which the most civilised of ancient human races ig nored ! But how much more might wo not expect to know ? T hey assembled, ephemera as they were, had learnt by trans mitted labour to weigh as in a balance other worlds larger and heavier than their own, to know the length of their days and years, to measure their enormous distance from the earth and from each other, to detect and accurately as certain the influence they had on the movements of our world and on each other, and to discover the substance of which they were composed ; might they not hope that simi lar methods of research to those which had taught them so much might give our race further information until pro blems relating not only to remote worlds, but possibly to organic and sentient beings which may inhabit them, pro blems which it might now seem wildly visionary to enun ciate, might be solved by progressive improvements in the modes of applying observation and experiment, induction and deduction ?
