Ground us and their possible hahitahillty
Speaking Of Mercury, Dr. Dallingor pointed
out is chief features aud showed that they
approximated TO thpse Of the earth. Al
though the heat from the sun thoro was
more intense, IL might be tempered by the
character q the atmosphere. Venus was
yet moro akin TO our world IN every respect
so that LIE there, as VIZ know Il, was yet
more possible, The conditions OF the nt-
mosphere indeed were such that the whole
globe might DO habitablc Mars came next
under review, the lecturer explaining ita
character, substance, atmosphere and other
features, which he said made the existenro
nj creatures, II not man, quite possible
People were slowly losing their former no
lions that there were nothing and nobody
IN tho universe except tho world and man.
There were other worlds, however which
as far as human intelligence could judge
were not yet suitablI for hpbitntiun. but
were gradually assuming conditions which
might ultimately make life possible.
The lecturer held the opinion that many
years hence some means Of mcutal com.
munieaiion with the dcniaeus OF tho other
planets might he established. In the pres.
ont dAysof marvellous discoveries ia science
all things seemed possible, and the estub-
lishmont Of intercommunieation Of some
kind between this earth and the beings Of
the planets did not seem more improbable
