lafe and death of worlds another large audience including many of those who attended monday night was at the theatre last evening to hear the second and closing lecture of Profess eor proctors tors tora astronomical series the sta stage e was somewhat differently and decidedly F more comfortably furnished than on the preceding night the illustrative screen was much netter neiter to the audience and the stereopticon was p placed on a stand inside the ore nestra the professor came upon the stage from the left first entrance unannounced the formality not leing being necessary this time as he was at once recognized by all and after the applause his appearance cl elicit cited had subsided immediately began his lecture on the life and death of worlds As he had fair fain fairly y presented his theory the firs first night mb he now had more leisure to e enter ter into detail details sj which he did merely dwelling long enough upon generalities to connect the threads joining the two lectures and remind his audience of things he had told previously he specially mentioned the planet venus which is nearest in actual size to thet the earth but dwelt longest upon mars and the moon especially the latter mars is still still able to sustain life but is in the decrepit stage hence older than the earth and much less in magnitude there is snow air and water upon this planet which still has seasons and weather variations but its land is growing and its seas diminishing As it is an older planet than earth its proportion of land is more and its proportion of water less than those of our earth the moon is is comparatively rat ively near to us and hence can be easily studied it is dry and desolate with neither ai air r nor water and hence totally unfitted for the production or sustenance of life its sky is dark and in it the s stars tars shine incessantly it has great subterranean disturbances its mountain sides give evidence of glacial action and the durk spots on its surface show where the seas have finally disappeared into the interior the lecturer gave many other interesting te statements on the science of astronomy he again referred to the unpleasantness of his theory thory which he lie does not claim as strictly original but rather in accordance with the theories of the most advanced thinkers said it seemed perfectly reasonable to him that worlds were born to tol die just as man and other animals what was true of men beasts and insects on the small scale ought to be true of worlds and systems of planets on the large scale he admitted his belief however in the probability of the existence of a higher state of things a purer kind of matter and a rarer order of universes than any yet known to man and which his feeble powers of comprehension could not grasp grabp at the present time science is r a I 1 less sea and man with a all ail I 1 he can possibly leam is ignorant and the undiscovered future will no doubt evolve wonders and rn mysteries ya teries that will show him his utie nesa afresh and furnish him with new phenomena upon which to base novel and stranger theories than any yet brought forth by human mi mind bind nd the visit of
