two planets end here The two globes,
strange as it may seem, have almost pre-
cisely the same weight. If one could
imagine a pair of ordinary scales so i'm
mense as to be able to hold both planets,
with Venus in one pan and the earth in
the other, it would be found that there
was practically no difference between
the weights of the two bodies.
The question of the possibility that
other planets beside our own may be
inhabited by intelligent beings is always
an interesting one. but it becomes par
ticularly fascinating at the present time
in view Of certain new discoveries in
relation to this planet that is so nearly a
twin to the earth for it is now known
definitely that if Venus is not inhabited
there is no reason why she should not
be the abode of men and women con-
stituted very much like ourselves.
rs a planet that must furnish the
habitation for concious life similar to
that Of the human being as we know it.
the most important condition is the sue
cession Of day and night, and when the
question as to the resemblance of an
other world to our earth has been raised,
the first point to be considered has been
how far the inhabitants Of such world,
if inhabitants there might be, resembel
ourselves in the enjoyment of the alter
nations Of day when the sun is in the
skies with night when the sun is below
The horizon.
THE DAILY ROTATION.
The changes from day to night and
from night to day are. of course, the re
suit Of tn" rotation Of the planet on it's
axis. Naturally. therefore, it is ,neces-
sary for us to learn how far the period
which the planet requires to complete
turn may agree or disagree with the
time required by the earth for similar
movement.
This was the question that was asked
in relation to the planet Venus and fol-
all time it has been supposed that it took
so much longer for her to make the turn
on her axis than the period of twenty
three hours and ffty-siX minutes, the
time taken by the earth, that it would
be impossible that she cou I'D be the
home of beings that could in any way
be compared to the people on our sphere.
One very eminent astronomer thought
that the day in Venus must be enor-
mously long, must, in fact, last for about
fifteen weeks, while the night which sue
ceeded it had to last for fifteen weeks
also. Other astronomers tried to solve
the problem in a different manner and
obtain different results all Of which
were. cast aside as unsatisfactory q

CHAPTER XI.


From the moment they discovered
the identity Of the two strangers all
hostility was at an end. They be-
longed to the ranks of the liberia
tors" Besides, they loved their young
mistress as much as they feared in
Edward the stern master. The last
few months, during which he had had
the reins of government, had shown
the whole household what was to be
expected from tho new master. Now
he had mysteriously vanished. Per-
haps he might even be dead. But not
hand stirred to seek or aid him.
Besides, practical John, who never
lost sight of any possibility, had TAX
en- care to prevent danger from the
few white men who were acting as
overseers in the fields. He had sum-
moned the whole establishment, and
briefly stated that the Union army was
marching in that direction; that one
regiment would arrive that evening
and hold every human being in
Springfield to strict account, II
hair of his head or Lieutenant Ro-
lands was harmed. The composure
with which he related this fairy tale
made strong impression, and the
rapidity Of all these incidents bewil-
dered them. No one ventured to raise
IN objection when Maxwell ordered
the fastest horses to be harnessed and
the carriage brought round; but all
FASTENED to obey, while the doctor
proceeded to exchange the courtesies
already mentioned with his esteemed
friend, Mr.. Thompson.
Florence was sitting on a sofa, with
William standing beside her-both in
the greatest agitation and excitement
when the gentlemen entered. Doc
tor Maxwell, however, was calmness
itself, when he made the necessary in
Productions.
Lieutenant Roland-the bridegroom
you already know the bride, Miss
Harrison. William, / have the pleas
ure Of presenting to you the justice
of the peace, Mr.. Thompson, who, with
the utmost readiness to oblige, in
stantly consented to crafty your
wish"

William looked at the MAGISTRATE.
whose pale face and shaking knees
distinctly showed how he had been
induced to show this Wanted oblig-
ingness. The AFFAIR, which afforded
his friend malicious satisfaction, was
extremely painful to him.
Calm yourself. sir" he said. ap-
preaching him. you. are perfectly
safe. Neither you nor your compan-
ion needs fear. I deeply regret that
we were forced to put the request In
such a form. but the circumstances
compelled 1t. AS soon as the wedding
is over. you can return to the city"
The old gentleman again breathed
freely. He had imagined the lieuten-
ant q far more terrible parsonage than
the doctor. and now he proved to be
the more humane OF the two. But Mr..
Thompson preferred to place himself
close to Miss Harrison as quickly. as
possible. II he stood close by her
side. no one could fire at him.
Meanwhile, Maxwell had given the
marriage contract, which had been
handed to him, q brief. yet thorough
scrutiny. and now again laid It on
the table.
Everything IL correct" he said.
THE names are still missing. Please
insert them. Mr.. William Roland
Miss Florence Harrison! There. now
We can Begin
The magistrate had 80 far recovered
that he could commence the cere-
mony. which was performed very
quickly, but in strict legal form. The
usual questions were asked and an
swered, the signatures were afflxed.
and In less than ten minutes the we'd
ding was over. William. deeply NOV
ed, clasped his young wife to his
heart.
Maxwell glanced toward the door.
where Ralph had appeared during the
last moment, but remained standing
motionless In order not to interrupt
the ceremony. The doctor exchanged
then turned to the young couple.
Mrs. Roland. please go to your
father. William. you can accompany
your wife. There Is no fear that your
presence will disturb the sick man
don't leave her alone now!"
A significant glance emphasized the
words. William understood that the
last moments Of Mr.. Harrison's life
were at hand. and putting his arm
around his wife he led her to her
dying father.
