and went with him to California. she soon
abandoned him, however, for another, with
whom she went to Europe. While there, and
again in this country, during professional

or two other marriage arrangements, but the
names OF the gentlemen with whom she was
connected do not occur 10 us at this time. Miss
Menken played principally in Mezeppa, the
French Spy, and pieces OF similar character,
which require the principal performer to be
very much undrossed. She was possessed OF

drew full houses, and was quite as popular
with managers as with the frequenters of the

TIE EXISTENCE OF Water IN THE PLANETS,
The Spectioscope has recently been applied
to ascertain the existence or non-existence Of
water upon the surfaces Of theoplanets. The
application OF this instrument for this purpose
may be understood from the following descrip-
tion:
When the. sunlight passes through glass
prism it is transferred into beautifully COL
orea;band Of light, the so-called solar spec
truns When observing this by means OF
specsrpscope, 4. multitude OF dark lines are
observed, which are called Fraunhofer's Lines.
are attributed to various causes. A
considerable portion OF them, however, are
produced by the light passing through the at
mosphere. They are accordingly most proml-
nent when the sun is low, and they are almost
Invisible when the observations are made on
the top o high mountain. Among the lines
produced by the, earth g atmos sphere, some have
watery vapor. BY observations in localities
distinguished for q very transparent atmos:-
phere, such as Marseiles, Palermo, Athens,
and by observations on the summit of Mount
Etna, proof has been obtained Of the ab-
sence Of water from the atmosphere OF the sun,
but its presence in the atmosphere OF Mars
and Saturn.
The conclusions drawn from; these expert;
mentst Are given as follows TO the close
analog1es which already unite the planets Of
our system, a new, and important ch.:acter has
Just been added. All these planets form
accordingly q but one family; they revolye
around the same central body, giving them
hest and light. They have each year. sea-
sons. an atmosphere, and on many Of 1.-The the
atm ospheres. Finally, water, which plays so
important 20 part in all organized beings, is
also an element common to the planets. These
are powerful reasons to think that life is no
exclusive privilege Of our earth, the younger
sister in the great planetary family.
