LIFE IN OTHER PLANETS.

Two interesting problem which hav'
long perplexed the scientific worlc
appear to have been at last defnitel,
solved by the eminent geologist, DIR.
Hahn. The questions are, first
whether or not celestial bodies, Other
than the earth, belonging to our solar
system, are inhabited by animate
beings; and, secondly, whether the
meteoric stones from time to time cast
upon the surface Of this globe emanate
from incandescent comets or from
volcanic planets. That they at no
time formed part Of the earth itself
has been conclusively demonstrated.
DR.. Hahn has recently completed a
series of investigations upon some OF
the huge meteoric stones that fell from
the skies in Hungary during the sum.
mer of 1866. Thin lamine Of these
mysterious bodies subjected to examin-
alton under a powerful microscope,
have been found to contain coralline
and spongeous formations, and to
reveal unmistakeable traces of the
lower forms of vegetation. All the
organisms, animal and vegetable, dis
covered by DIR. Hahn in the delicate
stone shavings he has thus dealt with
indicate the condition of their parent
world to be one Of what is technically
termed "primary formation" The
presence of water IN that world is
proven by the fact that the tiny petri.
fed creatures revealed by the magic of
the lens one and all belong to the so.

ENGLISH RAILWAYS.
Litaeness aud U0iness of their Rnnnfng
Equipments.

| The first impression which an Ameri-
can who is experienced in railroad
travelling in his own country derives
from the exterior aspect Of an English
train is unfavorable. The cars, as he
must necessarily cafl them, seem to be
SMALL they lack, apparently, the weight
and solidity of the Anne rican passenger
coach, the compartments are narrow,
the ceilings low, the ventilation ap
parently doubtful. They stand upon
two, three, or more pairs of gaunt high
wheels, to the axles of which their
springs are directly geared. He misses
the little independent vehicle, the truck,
or bogie, with its four or six small,
compact, solid-looking, wide-hanged
wheels, which sustains each end of the
American car--that rolling gear which
looks so strong, so adapted to in
equality Of rail or curve, SO resourceful
against disaster, and SO complete in its
equipment The cars are smaller
there is no doubt of it, They are mar
ROVER and they are shorter; and to the
American eye they look even shorter
than they really are, because they have
no projecting platform at the ends, no
overhanging roof or hood, bu; are
buckled close up to each other, and
their contact controlled by small metal
buffers, the springs of which allow a
play OF from eighteen inches to two and
a half feet between car and car. The
Miller platform, the Jtnney coupler,
the link and pin--of all the familiar de.
vices Of the Uniied States there is not
cne to be seen. The brakes1 None
visible. Nor, for the matter Of that, a
brakesman. This influential and numer.
nus person has no existence IN England.
There is not even rudimentary type
Of him. That you do not find him is
the first stern intimation you receive
that in English railroad ng there are no
autocrats The wheels are fitted with
brakes, however, and the trained eye
notes rubber hose connection between
the carriages, quite different in its appli-
cation to that known at home, bit
which, nevertheless, betokens the air
brake. He takes account Of distinc.
tions of clcss, and reflects upon his
country's veiled progress IN that regard
in the matter of parlor cars and limited
express trains. Then he finds thai
there is no baggage-master to watt tn.
volatile Saratoga to its doom, as his
own newspapers would express it.

Il STRANGE COMMUNITY.
A Kansas Torn Completely Tsoya,cd iron,
the 0ufside World.

Mounting my pony early in the Morn
ing, accompanied by two stout-heaited
fellows who, like myself, we're bent on
penetrating into the gloomy unknown,
we were soon twenty miles east Of the
great State Of Colorado and in the ex-
treme southwest Of Kansas. Hills,
mountains and canyons stretched all
iround US. Fastening onward, we

f Kansas. The valley is some ten
miles wide at this place, and the soil is
very fertile. 1t is called Viorle, and
mas n population Of 1000.
Viorle is distinct town. 1t makes
its own laws, passes sentence of death,
regulates all matters Of equity and die
tates the religious and social status.
viorle has no hotel, no place for a
stranger. He could get nothing to eat
only at private houses. Viorle won
Tered at US getting there and sternly
discussed the propriety Of ejectment.
It had been long time since strangers
we're in their midst However, after a
long parley and due deliberation, we
were permitted to remain. The town
was laid out and settlement commenced
by company ofreligious bigots in the
spring of 1868, since which time select
families have been added. In the be-
ginning it was decreed that all things
should be held IN common, houses,
however small, should be built Of brick,
and extravaganza, fnery, fancy work
should not be tolerated. The people
are plain, simple-minded and very
common. M
To see good brick buildings with
look.holes for windows and doors hewn
out Of timber; to see people lie on the
sround--for these houses have no floors
land repose on skins, and to see nc
furniture, not even dish or stove, was
not only odd but interesting Theil

the morning and work just SO hard and
so long as they choose, unless an edict
is issued by the prudent for more deli
gence. Now, the prudent consist of
twelve men, selected by their own body
when vacancies arise. They hold life
tenure. They settle all disputes, re-
5ulate all industries and divide the
crops. The duties Of their office
would seem enormous, but it appears
they have little to do.
There are really no stores, but there
are three large buildings used store.
house, where the different products
are nicely kept. In one of these were
stored vegetables, corn and other things,
In another were stored woven fabrics
and tanned skins and robes. In the
other was whisky. The fronts OF the
buildings were all door, and in the
after part of day it was curious to see
the throng OF people gathering there
for their rations 1t is strange they
are so peaceable, for they are moi
organized into families and have NO
marriage. At night things are a.
quiet as could be, and to walk along
the street you would think you were
passing well-regulated families. - Corr

situation from an unprejudiced stand
point it looks very much as il private
jealousies we're wrecking what ought to

vince to take, sides with this or that

individual club of the new B ,ating
Association detracts from the life OF
Hawaiian sporting interests; then we
shall comment freely on such action
and call for reformation. 1t is not
to be supposed that the action lately taken
by some ofthe Honolulu boat clubs will
in any manner influence the PRESS.
Being free from the complication ol
