Astronomers disagree on many points. but
they nearly all agree on this, that the condi-
tiOus OF atmosphere, water. aud the seasons are
right for the production Of human and animal
life. and that beyond doubt Mars and Venus
are Inhabited. perhaps by race Of people far
superior 10 that on our own earth; race Of
people who have wonderful ingenuity, and have
Telescopes constructed so powerful that
great Lick machine would be nothing but
child's toy in comparison. With that powerful
instrument turned upon our little planet they
could almost see what we ate for breakfast
There is no telling what the next century or
two may bring forth. Science searches long
and quietly for great truths OF nature. bat its
discoveries startle the world Neither this nor
the next generation will see IT, hut we may vet
be in direct communication with the inhabit-
ants of the Rel Planet. Jules Verne. with his
wonderful speculatiOns, may really foreshadow
the plans aud movements Of our descendants.
There is no Observatory in the wide world
where the visitor is So veil treated aud allowed
10 roam at his will through the various build
ings as no is at tho Lick Observatory. Prof.
Holden and his ablo corps Of assistants are
courteous to all visitors, and their eudeayOrs %
diHuse knowledge among he thousands OF peo-
pie who visit them yearly Is worthy OF COM
mendation. James Lick's dream Of lofty
mountain peak crowned bya magnificent temple
federated TO science has been realized. The top
Of Mount Hamilton. high above fogs and storm
clouds, overlooking the beautiful Santa Clara
Valley, and located in a State noted for its pure
air. sunshine, and magnificent scenery, is the
ideal place for such institution. California
IN the near future will produce yonug crop
OF HeTschels and GalileOs, whose astronomical
researches aud vast discoveries will astOnSh
the whole civilized world.

MORE ADVANCED STAGE
Of cooling than the planet on which We live,
and that IL has reached the stage when 10 can
no longer support any form Of life.
Again the great platform WAS lowered. and
we looked at the red planet Mars. IL is one OF
tho nearest planets 10 our earth. Mars is 500
miles in diameter, aud travels around the sun
and completes its year IN 81 Of our days. IL
has two small moons. discovered In Is77 by
Prof Hall, and these are called PhOl1s aud
Deim0s. The former revOlves around Mars in
a little less than eight hours, aud as Mars re-
wolves on its axis in about every 81 hours. il
must move around Mars three times in the
course Of Martial day. The other moon is
farther away, and revolves around Mars in
about 30 hours. We could plainly see the green
seas and the land, which is Of dull reddish
color.
We could see on Mars promontories and isl.
snds and great rivers extending far inland.
At the poles there are white circles, which di-
minish in size when the sun is alternately
turned toward them at certain seasons known
by astronomers 70 bs the Winter Of Mars. The
polar hemispheTes are seen To be covered miles
in depth with what they believe is snow. As
the seasons progress aud these mighty SHOWS
melt. the surface OF the land is more or less in
undated aud cut up with huge rivers and chan
nels.

In tho Apprentices there il n crater called

on Saturday, June ~ last no 10 o'clock IN the
morning. Our conveyance was a Concord
coach drawn by four stout hays.
The road up the mountain is marvel OF
fine engineering IL was built by Santa Clara
County, and IFS cost was over 100000. The road
way is wide enough for two coaches 10 pass on
the Callop without danger. The way has been
so carefully constructed that il is perfectly safe
even along the most PERCEPTIONS parts OF the
mountain, aud so graded that there are no places
too steep for the easy hauling Of loaded coaches.
The ascent is a pleasure drive rather than
a journey, and is made by almost every tour
Isl % the Pacific coast. The Mount Hamilton
road is "a miles in length and is connected
with the Alum Rock avenue, which is four
miles long thus making a total distance OF %
miles from san Jose 10 the summit Of the
mountain.
For the first seven miles after leaving the
Alum Rock avenue the Mount Hamilton
road winds through the green foothills OF the
Santa Clara Valley. In the midst Of these hills
arc vineyards. orchards. and tasteful homes.
After uavcrsing the crest Of the ridge at an
elevation Of about 2 600 feet the road passes 10
the eastern side. Here in few moments the
aspect OF the landscape changes utterly. Now
we are impressed by the grandeur solitude aud
desolation oil the mountains; deep gOrges on one
side aud tall cliffs on the other. The road
soon takes a downward course until there IS
reached what Is known as
Halls VALLEY,
a great basin in the mountain. On the way 10
this basin one passes many rolling hills, dotted
with huge oaks. aud raVnes filled with mad
rome, mauzanita and wild laurel. In the sea-
