LIFE ONLY ON EARTH
REST OF UNIVERSE UNlNHAB.
TIED, SAY SCIENTISTS.
With Modern Telescopes Millions Of
Stars Are Easily Discovered, But
Conditions Seem to Preclude Poe
slbllIty Of Living organlsms There.

Astronomers can see with great
modern telescope at least 100000, 900
stars in the entire universe. The
question arises: "How many other
bodies like the earth exist in space?"
Prof. T. J. J. See Of the United States
navy claims that the study Of the
double stars tends to support the con.
tention Of DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace
that the universe Is not inhabited OF.
cept the earth alone. In 1896 DR.. See
published a work on the orbits Of all
the double stars which could be de-
terminsd 1t that time, and he found
the double stars SO different from the
solar system that he says no other
system like that to which the earth
belongs il known to exist in the hea-
vens. The double stars revolve In or
bits Of high eccentricity. and the two
members Of system are usually
equal or comparable in mass. while
the planets of the solar system move
In very circular orbits and have
masses which are infinitely small COM
pared to that Of the sun, about which
they revolve. The result is that the
solar system affords equable condi-
tons Of heat and light, such as or
ganic life requires, while the system
Of the double stars would furnish
such great changes of light and heat
that life could not survive on a planet
attached to a member Of double,
such as Sirius or Procyon.
The sun has a mass 746 times great
er than all the planets combined, and
this makes It an autocrat over the
planets, whose motions 1t dominates
absolutely. The double stars are In
reality systems Of double suns, and
mathematicians claim that a planet
could not move safely and quietly in
such system-that 1t would sooner
or later come into collision with one
Of the stars, or be driven from the
system never to return, In either case
destroying the chances Of organic
life. The number of dark bodies In
the heavens is immense and, Of
course, 1t 10 possible that some Of
these may afford conditions suitable
for organic life, but up to this time
astronomers are unable to point to
a single body Of this kind outside Of
the solar system.
OF dark planets attending the stars
DR.. See writes: IF such inconsider-
able companions as our sun possesses
attend the fixed stars, they would
nett Ter be visible nor could they be
disc ,ered by any perturbations
which they might produce. 1t is.
therefore, impossible to determine
whether the stellar system includes
such bodies as the planets, and we
are thus unaware Of the existence of
any other system like our own. On
the other hand, the heavens present
to our consideration an infinite num-
Der of double systems, each Of which
Is divided into comparable masses.
These double systems stand in direct
contrast to the planetary system,
where the central body has 746 times
the mass of all the other bodies com.
bined."
