bodies, and which seem in every respect
worthy to he the ab0des of nobler races than
those which subsist upon our earth, afford no
indications which justify us in asserting that
they resemble the earth IN any Of these
points which We are accustomed 10 regard a.
essential to the wants Of living creatures.
Nearly the whole Of the light which we re-
ceive from these splendid orhs is reflected, not
from their real surface, but from yaporous
masses suspended in their atm0spheres. Its
indeed doubtful whether anything has ever
been seen Of the real surface Of either planet.
save perhaps that a small spot has here and
there been family visible through the dense
oyerhanging mantle Of vapor. And strange
" enough, the two small planets, which pre-
sent in ether respects the most marked con-
trast to the giant members of our system, re-
semble them in this point Venus and Mer-
curry seem both to be protected from the in
tense heat to which they would otherwise be
exposed through their proximity to the sun,
by densely vaporous envelopes, which only
permit the true surface of the planets TO be
family seen, even under the most favorable
conditions. The planet Mars, however, dis
closes TO us his real surface, and this surface
presents indications which cannot reasonably
be doubted to result from the existence Of
continents and oceans resembling those Of
cur own earth in all essential features.
