Jenkins, pastor of the Christian church, of which she had been a devoted mem ber for sixty years. An extended obit uary will appear in the next issue of the Press. LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS.

It Is precisely the same with Prof. Newcomb recently gave concerning the possible inhab itants of Mars: "The reader knows just as much of the subject as I do, and that Is nothing at alTi." Within our solar system we can Indeed form tome crude estimate of probabilities;, beyond it, nothing.

We stand essentially where Whewell and Brewster did half a century ago, or we might indeed say where Galileo and Capoano were 300 years ago. We can luderd rpln out the discussion at greater length than our prcdecessom, and can Introduce a far larger number of more or less irrelevant facts, but of serious argument, either for or against, we are entirely destitute. the winter, but owing to sickness in her family at Brewster, was compelled to go at once.
