Their Winged Destiny, being a Tale of Two Planets

Abstract

THERE are about one hundred million suns in space; and it is reasonable to suppose that many of them have planets revolving round them similar to those which form our own solar system. Whether life exists upon any of these bodies is a matter of legitimate speculation. It is, perhaps, possible, that among so many bodies there is one which has gone through precisely the same stages of development as the earth, and upon which the same forms of life are in being. This hypothesis provides Mr. Horner with the basis, of his fantastic romance.
