Did he find the problems of the inhabitability of the
planets and their satellites by a race, given in species, and of
the possible social and moral redemption of said race by a
redeemer, easier of solution?
Of a different order of difficulty. Conscious that the
human organism, normally capable of sustaining an atmo-
spheric pressure of 19 tons, when elevated to a considerable
altitude in the terrestrial atmosphere suffered with arith-
metical progression of intensity, according as the line of
demarcation between troposphere and stratosphere was
approximated from nasal hemorrhage, impeded respira-
tion and vertigo, when proposing this problem for solution,
he had conjectured as a working hypothesis which could
not be proved impossible that a more adaptable and differ-
ently anatomically constructed race of beings might subsist
otherwise under Martian, Mercurial, Veneral, Jovian, Sa-
turnian, Neptunian or Uranian sufficient and equivalent
conditions, though an apogean humanity of beings created
in varying forms with finite differences resulting similar to
the whole and to one another would probably there as here
remain inalterably and inalienably attached to vanities, to
vanities of vanities and to all that is vanity.
