The Cycle of Animal and Vegetable I,f

In recent letter upon astronomy, Professor
Loomis expressed the opinion that every men,
Der Of the solar system had originally very
high temperature, which is constantly under
going the process Of cooling by radiation
From an abstract Of the lecture we cut the
following asa sl-l 5lg.9 sd. s5
If this were to proceed, as evidently it does,
without interruption, it will descend to point
at which all vitality is impossible and must of
necessity cease. s-is. o5 sf N4
The era of life, then, is that of temperature
adapted to animal existence, and is necessarily
short and bounded. 1t is the history of an era
Of a temperature between certain limits.
The lecturer applied this postulate to Nep-
tune and showed what nobody denies, that no
being like man can now exist upon that planet
He passed on successively to Jupiter, Mars,
Venus and Mercury, assuming that the tenn
perature of the planets exterior to the earth is
too low, and that Of the interior planets too
high for vegetable and animal life. 4
The earth occupies the temperate zone of our
system. AS to the moon, the changes which
onr earth's surface, charged with atmospheric
clouds, would continually present to a lunarian,
are never correspondingly observed by us who
gaze upon the moon. The moon has neither
atmosphere such as ours, nor twilight. The
equatorial temperature Of the moon must there
fore be lower than that of the Garth. The
length of her day and night, too, are other
added conditions equally unfavorable either to
animal or vegetable life.
The surface of the most distant planet may,
possibly, once have been the theatre of active
ie-that is, at period, and during such Pc
rlod as was determined by her cooling down
and remaining at the temperature suitable for
such circumstances The gradual process Of
cooling from radiation, which is going on even
. now, in time will stop the wheels of vital exis-
enee. In course Of time our own familiar
earth becomes sufficiently cool first, for the
lower forms of animal and vegetable life, and
lastly for man, the image Of his Maker, and the
depository of intellect and feeling.
The fate Of other planets will ultimately be-
come our own. Life extinct here may probably
be afterwards observed on Venus, and on Mer-
curry, to subside even there into the chill of
Death. In time even the body of the sun sub
sldes into frigidity. Plants are constituted
chiefly Of carbon this they extract from the
air, and chiefly when the sun is shining on
Them With his feebler radiancy follows the
death Of vegetables.
The analogy Of the physical history of our
own earth would lead us to form such judg-
ment in reference to the other bodies Of our
system. If it be said that water may be some
thing other than water there, we must invent a
new chemistry.
On each of the planets the life period is brief
ana It matters little in reference to the question
q inhabitancy at what date in the history Of
the universe it has commenced, endured and
become extinguished upon each. In that most
Instant from the sun, evidently, it would COM
mence first.
