Other Worlds than Ours.

80 Since it is clear that the earth has
had and will have period without liv
ing creatures, and its period of life is a
finite between two comparatively infinite
periods, a mere RIPPLE said Mr.. Proc
tor in Steinway Hall last evening, "the
chance is small that any planet taken at
random is at this time inhabited. Mr..
Proctor gave various data, from which
his inferences were that the moon is
dead; that Mercury probably never had
life, and being now in its old age as a
planet, is cooled off completely, its own
cold, however, counterbalanced in con-
siderable measure by the heat of the
sun; that it is not certain that the plan
cts came into being at the same time;
that some of them may now be grow
ing and that we can know but little
about Mercury, as he is so near the sun
that the sun blazes in our eyes when we
try to inspect him. 1t was proved at
the late transit of Venus, that she has
an atmosphere; and although she must
have climate so warm that earthly be-
ings could not live there, possibly she
has people who can.
Mars in 1877 will be in that part of
his orbit in which he will shine the
brightest and reddest. There is reason
for believing that Mars is younger than
the earth. Its life must be shorter.
There is not feature of the history of
Jupiter and Saturn resembling the
earth. Indeed, there are two families
of planets in the solar system, the
lesser Orbs and the giant planets. These
great planets are suns, having little
system of their own. But when Jupiter
has cooled as much as our earth, he viii
be smaller than the earth and one-sixth
as bright as he is now. The satellites
of the giant planets may be advanced
in their life career. Some parts of
Saturn, said Mr.. Proctor, suffer eclipses
of the sun two years long. In the star
depths, he continued, there are prOba-
bly, millions of living beings; and as we
extend our domain of the known, we
extend our imagination of the un-
| known N Y S1Ln

Other than this latter information the
White House is not good hopper for
news.
At the War Department the changes
IN the stations of army officers are first
printed and then given to the press rep

serylceable news is communicated by
General Vincent. The Secretary him

pleasant, affable, and obliging. Again

information is prepared by the chief
clerk, and DR.. McNairy, an old salt who
has anchored in this harbor for over
twenty years. No newspaper man
thinks of going to Secretary Robson in
person. He hates the guild, and will
pay no more attention to a card sent in
by one of them than would an Egyptian
potentate to the SaIaam of his humbleSt
subject.
Postmaster-GeneralJ Jewell wants ''the
boys" to have every thing that is worth
having in his department, and the heads
of bureaus and divisions, knowing this,
give willingly to the press all matters of
interest which are worth printing.
Secretary Chandler is also a favorite

has nothing to conceal, and is willing
that the press should have every facili-

A Horse with a Silver Throat.

We have heard of people born with a
silver spoon in their mouths and all
that, but the most unique thing of the
kind we ever heard of or saw is a horse
with a silver throat. He was kindly,
hard-working beast, belonging to the
Cincinnati Omnibus Company, but was
"wind-broken," and on that account
had grown almost nnseless. 1t was a
pity, and a loss as well, to turn him out
to die-he wouldn't sell-sO it was de-
termined by Meyers, the veterinary sur
geOn, to try an experiment, an eXpedi
ent-in short, ''kill-Or-cure" remedy.
So, two months ago, he made an incl
sion in the animals throat and inserted
a silver tube in the windpipe to facili-
tate breathing, leaving sort of artifi-
cial nostril at the point of insertion.
The device works like a charm, the ter
rible wheeling has ceased, the incisiOn
has healed up beautifully, and the horse
is doing his full days work and eats his
full allowance. The silver throat can
be removed and replaced at will for
cleaning, but it is so arranged as not to
get out of place or cause any incOn-
venience to the horse. This unique
case of equine surgery can be seen al
most any day at the omnibus office, on
Race Street, between Fourth and Fifth
Streets.-CinciHndt Commercial.
