Mars alone had given promise OF habita-
billy In the ordinary sense Of tho term. And
the study of Mars had revealed many inter
esting results, apparently confirming In q
striking manner tho opinion that he Is q
,'mlnlature OF our earth'-a globe resembling
the earth In physical habitudcs, aud like her
the abode Of living creatures, amongst which
mny be races resembling man. We know
that Mars Is not so very much farther than
the Garth from the sun, rs ut q arst view TO
dispose OF all idea that he Ia inhabited. His
year Is not so much longer than ours as to
render our conceptions OF his seasons incom-
patible with the existence Of vegetable life
resembling that which exists on the Garth,
