On the Planet Mar?. lacoki TDAyv YUE i-LiXrr la ixiiAstisn BY HUMAN KElNOe. From chamtiei-a Journal Some time ago it was -observed thnl r. situated ot caclt polo of Mars there Is o » White 'patch, which increase- nn-I tie'J, creases at rngnlar intervals. Tliii had •; been observea for ranny yonni before the explanation was suggested by litraehol Uiat it was due to the frirring of t!ie , i. sea, a-id was exactly analogoii-. to our , Arctic and Antarctic oceans. If this was ; true the phtcli of ice would of course I , decrease in the innrtlal summer and pi- ' i crcasc as the winter ramr on. Thin was ;i - soon shown to bo the fact. Thus we sue , that, as far as regards the sea- Stars is very , similar toour earth, with the I* refit inn j, that thn proportion of land i« much ! . larger. On the cartli Ihe land is only 1 1 1 about one-third of the area of the sett, > , while on Mors tlie land and sea •nrl-u" i , s.-em to be about equal in extent. The ■ i land is much cut up by the wafer, whi.-li ' ■ ~ exists not so mnch in the form of a few f, 1 largo oceans, but rather as "a number of f , curious shaped, narrow inleU and qhan- i t ools. which intcrsis'ls the continents in j t nil directions. j f The briglit red color of the land is a j . i (Pbinati m lias as yet been sugge-tcil. j , jlcrachi-I considered it -was "due to the j peculiar nature of tlr- "soil ; but it n-r. > lainly secuis curious that in ibis js.inr!'* Tfnn sbhidil iJitTer from alTIKe" other | ? planifU. The appearance of the earth j bably be a dirty green, or pt-rlmp- liroivn. In fact, ou the earth we lmvcW" s--d or rock, which occurs "iii an? qiiantirv, of "e the' red color whieli we otaorvp on Mar*. " Tlieroqs, thcrrforo. uovegctatiod, imh-ss -I wc adopt the carious theory mlvancctl n by a Froncli savant that in Mar* the 11 foliage ii-rod. UnJueki'y we have no h instrument that etui at ail help us here; 0 the telescope ami E|«!ctrosoopo are alike " useless, and for the present we must con- i' tent ourselves with vain conjectures. " ou* attention is the atmosphere, without J which no life is possible. Without en- , terlng Into calculation wc limy state that , the pressure of the nir at the surface or ,, Mars would be about eqiinl toflvc torh.-a 4, of mercury, or nlioul on*lxtli -f tjie e normal atmospheric ptcssun- t-n . earth. Now, given an atni-.'pb-r.- an. I , a lurge «ktenf of '.sea, we would naUirullv . expect that doyils would form a preit.i ^ heiit feature on t'iO JlJtrttai snrfaie: -ih-T ~ obierratidh 1ms proved tlii" to he tin- , case. The nir on Mars being mtfeh l.-s ' dense tlt&n on the earth. It Is presumable that the winds would move with much j! greater velocity; ami for tills reason it has, Ijssd thought that trees Could not n grow' to any considerably height. Wc mtist, however, bcnrTn mind thai iliongli ^ tiic-ralpcltywould b? high, t!io Cftim! „ force of the wind wouUl probably not be a very groat on occonut of it* excessive s tenuity. In an inquiry as lo the probabiliiwof ' the oxiateaco of life, one of the most important points to lie taken into account j is the amount of heat available. Now, ^ Mars is at sueh a distance from the stm . that on the whole it would receive about f two-fifths as much solar licat as we do. h This does no', liowevcr. give the amount ' of beat its actually received on the surface of the planet, a considerable proportion being absorbed by the atmosphere; „ and since our atmosphere is so much g dhnftr and thicker than that of Mars.it ,. follow* that wo lose a rauoli larger per ]| ccntagc of tlie solar heat. To calculate r llio exact amount of beat absorbed by ri n given thicknea* of air Is a very dlfliculL y if not impossiblf. p-uhlrm- bnt it seen* t likely that, taking everything Into ac- [ cotmt, the inhabitants of* Mars wffl re- r cclvc more heat from the auti titan we f do. Tills would luire the effect of mak- t fng-the evaporation very large, and if so |. tlie martial atmosphere would b» mostly t composed of w liter vnpor. t Acooniing. to Professor latngley, tlw j true color of sun Is blue, and its yellow- ^ ncssis due to the dlrl always present in \ tlie air. To the Inhabitants of Mara li , would most probably sppear nearly , wlitte,. unless. Indeed, tlicy aiao Iihtc voI- , canoes to fill the air with lavs dnsL ( Let us now sum" up the facts ss wc , have stated, tutd detcrmiue. a« fur as we ; can, what sort of man tbc lnha' ItanP of ( Mars must be. In lite first place, the , force of grarita'ionat the snrfne.. ii only f just over one-third of its' equivalent ou , the earth; a pound would, thorefore, i weigh about six ounces in Mars. If, there- j fore, wc sssume that the men are.pf tucli , a size that tbeir weight ami activity are , the same as ours, they would be about . fourteen focliiigli ou the average. This- , wmild make their strength very great, for not only wonM it be actually superior to ' onre. but. as every weight is so much smaller. It would iw aa^mrtly pro pur". , tionally toercasetl. We. should, therefore, expect to find that the Msrtialltta have elecuUid la-ge i engineering works; perhS|>* also their , telescopes are much superior to onrs, and we htve be.n objects of interest for i ' their observers. With regard to tele-- i copes, tl iuhy hc luT-rcsUcg io cxamlne "j what is the effect of the highest magnifying power we can use. At his neuron approach, the distance from te* to Man- .' it about 37.1)00.000 miles: and assuming that the bigheat power that can be used with advantage Is 1200. we approach with our Utescopes to a distance of 80,I 000 mUcs, so that bouses or towns, or. [ indeed, any artificial works, would be i hopelessly iDvisihle. With regard to the II supply of heat and lighL we have seen that the Hsrtiallte is not worse off than E we are. To him the sun would appear u as a white or perhaps blue disk, about <i two-thirds of the diameter that it appears it to ua. The Martial day differs bnt Z slightly from ours; his year. haWever, is j- much longer, being about 687 of our I days, which Is about 650 martial days.

The inclination of his axis to the plant I of the orbit is auch that his seasons wcgikl j be very similar to ours. It is dlfikult to ; 0 reconcile the idea of uu extensive vego- ' tattoo with "hi* peculiar ro>l Color; it 'u itL't possible, however, that -nmr'pf the 1 green patches generally supposed (i> he » st-as may in reality be Ijftte forests, • . The most valid objection to the iinbiI (ability of Mars lies lit the fact" of the yx0 trenteiyloWOXmosplicrie pressure, which. 1 as we have seen, would probably aver, s age about five indies of mercury. Tito ' lowest picMtrc tlmt a man 'has ever 4 in, even for a short time, is abuu. - [ seven inches, which was readied ov -iCoewcB and Glaislicr In thi-ir famous ' I balloon ascent. Tlie aeronaut-, however, ' j narrowly escaped perishing, not only on : | account of the low pressure, but also be1 cause of the extreme cold. ' : It seems impossible that a man ronsti- ' j tuted exactly as wo are could live for ■ | any length of time breathing nir only j onc,«ixth of the density of t-ur«. Hut it ' ; is rather going out of our way to assume | saint-us Y" arc in every way: the chances 'j arc- a million to one against it; and on (lie other hand, a very slight mndlfieaI tion of tlie Iitog arrangement would -tif.

Tlig otlitr t-stluuitc was that of ■ old Ilniinnii, the faitliful and favorite < servant of the Hermitage all her days. > She fancied that some ouo In the com- > pony smiled derisively at an- anecitole which site related of General Jackson.

Lincoln as Postmaster. In the spring of this year, 1833, he , appointed Postmaster of New Salem . ' and held jhe office for three years. Its . emoluments were slender and its duties , Hght, but there was iu all probability no citizen of tho village who could have , mode so much of it as be. The mail' , were so scanty that he wtrV said to carry them in his IiiM.'aM he is also reported have read every newspaper- that arrived; it is altogether -likely that this foEjnctl the leading inducement to his taking the "Office- His incumbency jpilil New Salem ceased to bo poptllous enough for a jioat-atalion and .the mall went by to Petersburg. I)r. Hoirelates' a sequel to Oils offirlal experience which illustrates the quainl of the man. Several yenralater, when he was a practicing lawyer, an ngentof the Post office Department galled upon him, aud asked for a balance due from the New Salem' office, some seventeen dollars. Lincoln arose, and opening a little trunk which lay in a corner of the room, took from it iTcotton rag in which was tied up tho exact sum required. "I never ttso any Bum's money my. own." he quietly remarked. wc conslderXtbc pinching poverty in which these years had been passed, we may appreciate the sett-denial which iiad kept him from making eveo a temporary use of tills 'littjc sum of govern, merit money.— Gmtwjr., Crossed It Qvr tho Left.
