As We grow older, finding that our eyes

at some doubtful thing from different

We are not willing to believe that con-

ear or coins from the tip of his nose just
because our eyes tell us such tales. Some
times our doceptions are so lasting that

THE PLANET MERCURY.


Now Dead World.
Mercury is body devoid, practically II
not absolutely, Of air, water and of vegeta-
ton. Consequently it is incapable Of sup.
porting any of those higher organisms
which we know as living beings. Its sur.
face Is vast desert. 1t Ia rough rather
than smooth. Whether this roughness
be due to mountains proper or to orators
we are too far away from 1t to have
been able yet to say. The latter Is tho
more probable Over the greater part Of
its surface change either diurnal or seasonal
is unknown. Three eighths of it's surface
Is stepped in perpetual glare three-eighths
shrouded In perpetual gloom, while the re.
naming quarter slowly turns between tho
two. The planet Itself, as a world, is dead.
Interesting as Mercury thus proves to
be- the interest as regards the planet itself
Is Of rather corpselike character. Less
deterrent perhaps Is the interest 1t pos
sesses as part of the life history of tho
solar system. For tidal friction, the clos.
ing act in the cosmic drama, has brought
1t where it is. The machine has run down.
Whether 1t ever supported life upon its
surface or not, the power to do SO has now
forever passed away. Like Venus, and for
like cause, 1t is now dead world. And ID
was the first thus to reach the end of its
evolutionary career, earlier to do so than
Venus, inasmuch as tidal action was very
much greater upon it than on Venus, and
consequently produced Its effect moro
quickly. Mercury has long been dead. How
long, measured by centuries, we cannot
say, but practically for very long time
Venus must have become so comparatively
recently. Both, however, now have fin
ished their course and have in most lit.
eral sense entered into their rest.--Porci.
