THE PLANET MERCURY.
Like Venus and For Like Cause, II Ts
Now Dead World. -Y

NOW IL OGAU w OE1us
Mercury is body devoid, practical
ly If not absolutely, of air, of water
and of vegetation. Consequently it is
incapable of supporting any of those
higher organisms which we know as
living beings. Its surface is vast
desert. 1t Is rough rather than smooth
Whether this roughness be due to
mountains proper or to craters we are
too far away from it to be able
yet to say. The latter is the more
probable. Over the greater part of its
surface change either diurnal or sea-
sonal is unknown. Three-eighths of It's
surface is stepped in perpetual glare,
three-eighths shrouded in perpetual
gloom, while the remaining quarter
slowly turns between the two. The
planet itself, as a world, is dead.
Interesting as Mercury thus proves
to be, the interest as regards the plan
ct itself is of a rather corpselike char
acter. Less deterrent perhaps is the
interest it possesses as a part of the
life history Of the solar system, for
tidal friction, the closing act in the
cosmic drama, has brought it where 1t
is. The machine has run down.
Whether it ever supported life upon its
surface or not, the power to do so has
now forever passed away. Like Venus
and for like cause, it is now a dead
world. And it was the first thus to
reach the end of It's evolutionary ca
reer, earlier to do so than Venus, In
asmuch as tidal action was very much
greater upon it than on Venus and con-
sequently produced its effect more
quickly. Mercury has long been dead.
! How long, measured by centuries, we
cannot say, but practically for 4 very
long time Venus must have become
so comparatively recently. Both, how.
ever, now have finished their course
and have in most literal sense enter
ed into their rest.
