We lisve not, Rud can never hinve, pomtiva knowledge whether tho othor planets of tho solar syatem are iuhavited, still lees waether fubabitod worlds eirete around othier fube than ouss, Tho astronomor can go- tormino the bulk and deusily of a plauet, tho lengtls of 1ts day aud yeuar, the light-rottectiuyg «quality of its sutfuce, even the nature of the at- mosphere surroanding, it; tho goologikt can tracy the post history of our own earth, and thus Rive ua thu means of infernng the changes of cundition passed through by otlier earths u the ubiveras ; the physicist, Lesides homping buth the astionomer and the geologiat in tho re- noarches belonging to their special dopartiments, cav aicertain lhu physical requirements of living craatures ; while tho biologist can rhow how the racen duhabiting tho easth havo gradusily changed 10 accordanco with the varymg conditions surrounding them, Hut poither astronomer, nor goologist, nor physicist, nor hiolugist, can tell ug anything cortumn abuub hifo in other worlds, nor would & man who had mastered uil tho leadiug branches of scientuis resoarch. Qur sdess about the othor woilids must always be spoonulative. Aud vot, apart from the fact (Yor sucli it is) that ho study of this subjoct alfords a means of praventing in ready nud convenlont foria tho variond resalts of astronomical researcl, I think that il wo look clanaly ita the matter wo shall find that as re- sflcctn tho great purposos for whichi svience should bo atucdied, it is at lonsy as instructive to thiuk over this subject of hilo in other worlds as to reason nhout purely scientitle mattors, Scien- tifie facts are not fapresesvo in thomuelves, but wnly whon wo connider them In connection with whit wo kuow ubout onrselves. 1t 18 then aloue that we rocogn their bLearing on tne groat problom undurlyiug all science, the quostion whay way bo the meaning of the wondertal pro- cegnes ab work around us—of that mighty wa- chino whoreof wo are oursulves o portion, What we require in dealing with tho eubject of lifo o othier notlds iy in sbollrst Diace a cioar recognition of tha posilion we ougnt to tako with respect to the theary of a purpose or plan in ooture, aod next a carotul attention to all tho ovidence, whethor direct or iudirect. Un tho firat polot I would remark that modern ecience doés not objrct, a8 many suppose, to thu idea of n Acheme iu thu univorse, bi to tho theory that that achemo is one which mon can understand, Formorly tlus theory was regarded alinost as first principle 1u books of ecienve. If n choice Iy between two lntorprotations of observed tacts, aud one socomed to aczord woll, tho other ilt, with conceptions entertained respecting the wsys of God, the formor was accopiod unhesi- tatingly, oven though the balande of evidenco nught be in favor ot tho la‘ter. Thus in astron- omy it waa aesumed that celostial bodiew had boon sl croated oithur fo support lifo ua tho sun does. or to subserva tuo wants of living creatures as tho moon does, or, liko our earth, to bo sctuslly the sbodo of liviug creatures, ‘This was tho basis of tho ar- gument of wmon Jike Drowster, Chialmers, Dick, and otbers, men exceedingly well-mpaniog, and sume of thew very able, but who, iu dealing with the question of otber worlde, assumod tho very doctrine which wus tho subjoct of discussion, When Whewoll #nddeuly rojeoted that doctriun, thus freeing himscl? to hold the thoory that our oarthi may bo tho ouly iuliabited world 1 tho wholo universo, many were as much startied as though it sowo way their religious faith bad been shiaken, Lo very theory for which Gior- dano Bruno waa coudenined to the stako but a fow cousuries ago was pow described by Drow- stor as **the creed of the plulosophor and tho Lopo of the Chrisuan.” Diewster adoptod, too, 1 Jus argument with Whewell, somothing of tha angry tone which wo have learned uulnprly 10 ansociato with discussions about religion.

And hiero we are brought 1to prosenca of ono of those mystories u¥ tho uviverss which Lavo baflled, and promise ever to bufia, maa- kind.
