flying organisms, might through absorptive
action of the chlorophyll produce the
visible spectral effects on which the
theory of the presence of the chlorophyll
is based A planet whose fora and fauna
were suspended in its atmosphere would
thus be peculiarly suited to give US spec
troscopic evidence of its possession of
life
AT this point. and before describing the
peculiar aspects of the life of animals and
plants that one might expect to find in the
Uranian and Neptunian worlds, let US de-
vote a few words to the second view of the
constitution OF those planets, viz: that
which regards them as wholly gaseous.
In such q case the structure OF organisms
would be still more fantastic and only COM

being composed of inexpicable obligations
of gaseous atoms. taking the place OF the
bones, muscles and tissues that form the
subjects Of our anatomical and physio-
logical studies.
A gaseous life-celI is inconceivable TO
the tfed-up mind of the man who measures
and Judges everything by terrestrial stand
ards, fragmentary and incomplete though
such standards be, but a little confidence
in the power Of intuition which Is the real
spark Of divinity in human intelligence,
enables one to contemplate possibilities Of
this kind without losing hold on the very
different species Of conceptions upon which
our empirical, OF Terifiable, science is
based.
OF course. since the general constitution
of the planet would also be gaseous. living
organisms thus constituted must "inhabit"
their world In a sense considerably differ
ent from that in which we and our living
compeers inhabit the earth. We dwell
only on the surface of a solid globe. and
in an atmosphere of mixed gases enclosing
it, which is too rare to permit us to rise
into the midst of 1t except by the aid OF
our intellectual mastery over natural
forces. But in a gaseous planet inhabited
by gaseous creatures the latter would have
their abode in the body OF the planet IT.

portions of it. and it is conceivable that
they would neither have nor need a bot

tom on which to rest.
Their relations to the medium in which
they dwell would resemble, though It would
also differ from. that of fish in the sea.
The fish seek solid bottom for certain
purposes, though generally independent OF
1t, while. unless there be solid nucleus
in the heart Of Neptune or Uranus, the
supDosititious vaporous Inhabitants OF
those Vaporous planets would have nothing
resembling ground to stand on. But, as
happens for the creatures dwelling In the
superficial strata of the ocean waters, the
increasing pressure at great depths. which
In the case Of u gaseous globe would be
accompanied by great increase OF density
also, would serve to create a quasi bottom
as impenetrable to organisms so frail In
their structure as IL 1t were solid.
Upon the whole. it seems best TO settle
upon a modification of Sir Humphry DAVIS
vision of the world and the inhabitants OF
Saturn to fit the case of Uranus and Nep-
tune. Assuming the existence Of some
thing answering to a surface, we may
picture an atmosphere Of very great depth,
but not of very great mean density, in
which the equivalents OF both plant and
animal life abound. The structure of these

mere turn of chance sufieed to make some
organisms plants and other animals
Or, the differentiation might be likened
to the mysterious operations of vital
energy, which turns some animal germs
into the male and others into the female
direction of development.
Supposing, then, that chlorophyIl on
Uranus and Neptune is an indication of
the presence either or both classes of
vital organisms, or of a combination of
the two into one class only. we may look
upon its visible manifestation in the light
of those planets as a kind of life-spectrum,
or a chemical proof Of the existence of
life conveyed TO us, like the spectral proof
of the composition Of a star. across mil
lions of miles of space. One may COM
mend to scientific "dry-as-dusts," who are
offended in their souls by any play Of the
imagination over the sacred fields of
exact science" 1.-THE exactness depending
upon the date), the speculatiOns OF one
of the most fruitful intellects ever devoted
to science, Sir Humphry Davy, who, In his
Consultations in Travel or The Last Days
of a Philosopher" thus describes an i'm
aginary scene on the planet Saturn
which, by the way, is even slighter in
density than Uranus and Neptune, while
its spectrum bears considerable resemb-

the inhabitants of your earth. Each of
those tubes is an organ of peculiar motion
or sensation. They have many modes of
perception of which you are wholly igno-
rant. 1t would be useless for me
to attempt to explain their organization
which you could never understand"
II to this flight of the imagination of
the great English chemist we add the
suggestions derived from the apparent
presence of chlorOphyll in the surround
ings of two planets greatly resembling

organisms is to be regarded as hardly more
ponderable than that of spider-webs or
liquid bubbles. Their most striking char
aeteristic might be a superficial resem-
blance to balloons Of an infinite variety of
sizes and forms. Ridiculous as this seems,
nevertheless it can almost be matched by
some Of the living forms of the earth,
especially those living in the water.
Davy's suggestion of intricate systems of
convoluted tubes would seem to fit the
case as well as any that can be offered.

their diameters exceed 3O.OOO miles,
follows that the density at their. sur
faces must be much lower yet, and the
most probable explanation is that they con.
sist mainly, if not wholly, OF gases ana
vapors. II this is the fact, the above cal
cuiation of their temperatures. which is
based upon the assumption that their alb
sorbing and radiating capacity for heat is
practically the same as the earth's, must
straw far from the actual state OF affairs,
so that, after all. they may have as much
thermal energy as is needed to maintain
vital activity.
We must next confront the question
from another point. Chlorophyll is BOT
constituent of the atmosphere on the earth,
hut is a compound substance found in the
cells of plants. Now, in order spectre
scopically to analyze chlorophyll the proc
ess used is to project p Dectr"n' ~ ordi-
nary light through -i' OF

1t is quite conceivable that Hight trans
mitted through immense quantities OF
leaves filled with chlOrOphyll would ex-
nibit the characteristic abSorptivs effects
of that substance. But. how could we eX-
plain the existence of vast forests on the
surface of planet of so slight density as
that of either Uranus or Neptune?
There are two opposite views which
might be taken. First, il might be sup
posed that the slight density of those
planets is due to the extreme lightncss of
the substances composing them, the soil
of their surface. for instance being as
light as dust, and the sOlidest rocks re-
sembling pumice stone. Whether living
organisms. such as plants and animals.
could be formed out of substances of so
low density is a question that we. perhaps.
cannot settle on the basis of our terrestrial
experience. But, assuming that they could
be formed, and that a substance identical
in nature with chlOrOphyll constitutes an
essential part of their cells il is cOnceiv-
able that the existence of the chlorophyll
might be revealed by its effects upon the
light passing through the translucent
structure OF vegetable organisms resem-
bling leaves in their functions
Indeed, once launched on the sea of
speculation, we might assume that, under
the different circumstances of planet so

two we are considering. plants as well as
animals. or plants instead of animals.
could develop the peculiar powers and
qualities that, on our globe, are associated
with the animal kingdom of life. This
does not appear to be so wild a supposition.

tinguishing between our own plants and
animals when we go down TO their very
