The battle turned out to be no battle at all
only skirmish with some bushwhackers, in
which dozen shots or 50 were exchanged and
nobody was hurt. The advance OF the column
had come upon a group Of men, some mounted
and Others on foot, near a bend in the road where
a small stream was crossed. The sight of the
soldiers had disturbed the group; those who
had horses rode away as fast as they could 90,
while the fellows on foot made the best of their
way into the bushes, where they sought con-
cealment. They did not obey the order to halt,
whereup0n a few shots were fred at them,
which they returned.
The shots only served to quicken their pace,
and in very short time nothing was to be seen
OF the fugitives. The Quartermaster explained
to the youths that the term bushwhacker"
was applied to the men who were struggling
about the country with arms in their hands,
and did not appear to belong to any regularly
organized body of soldiery.

Considerable exaggeration has been perpe-
trated in reference to the adulteration of bread
with alum. The quantity actually used is
very small, and the question whether the term
adalteration IS fairly applicable to such addi-
tion IS debatable one. From the bakers
point Of view it is not an adulteration but an
improvement. He is fairly justified in main
tanning that if the alum which he adds is an
aduLteration so also is the salt and the baking
powder which are added to home-bakcd bread.
According TO Tomlinson the proportion of alum
commonly used is but two ounces to a sack of
-four, weighing 230 pounds As one sack of
flour is-with water-made into 80 four-pound
loaves, the quantity of alum to each pound of
bread IS but 1-l60 of an ounce, or 1-25G0 part.
Oddly enough in this case the baker supposes
himself 10 be more guilty than he really is.
lie purchases what IS called stuff" or rocky"
III packets, supposing it to be ground alum.
I0mlins0a finds that it consists of three parts
of common salt to one Of alum. Half a pound
Of this is added to a sack Of -four. The mode
OF action Of this minute quantity of alum is a
chemical conundrum not yet answered, but it
actually does Improve the appearance Of the
bread. Batch bread made Of ordinary -four
without alum has lumpy fracture when the
loaves are pulled apart, or the bread otherwise
broken; the alum renders the fracture more
silky. / have recently observed that the batch,
or household, loayes commonly sold in Edin-
burg show a more silky and in fat fracture
than London loayes and attribute this to the
use of more alum. 1t may be that the Scotch
bakers prepare their own rocky" omitting
the common salt. In Belgium and Northern
France sulphate Of copper is added to improve
the appearance Of bread I-1500 to 10000 part

base Of this aud Of alum combines with the
gluten and renders it indisolubIe, but this the
ory does not explain the mystery Of the efi-
cacy Of so small quantity. Pure -four con-
tains alumina. Mr. A. H. Allen, comparing
the results of his own analysis with those of
other chemists, estimates the average quantity
OF natural alumina to correspond to about eight
grains Of alum in the four pound loaf, which
nearly corresponds to Tomlinson's allowance
for the baker.

The total number of stars one can see will
depend very largely upon the clearness Of the
atmosphere and the keenness of the eye. There
are in the whole celestial sphere about 6,000
stars visible TO an ordinarily good eye. OF
these however, we can never see more than a
fraction at any one time, because q half of the
sphere is always below the horizon If we
could see star in the horizon as easily as in
the zenith, half of the whole number or
5000, would be visible on any clear night. But
stars near the horizon are seen through SO
great thickness of atmosphere as greatly to
obscure their light, and only the brightest ones
can there be seen. As 4 result of this obscura-
ton, it not likely that more than 1900 stars
can ever be taken in at single view by any
ordinary eye. About 1900 other stars are SO
near The South Pole that they never rise in
our ATTITUDES. Hence, out Of 5000 supposed to
be visible, only 1000 ever come within the
range Of our vision, unless we make journey
towards the equator
As telescope power is increased we still find
stars of fainter and fainter light. But the
number cannot 90 Oh increasing forever in the
same ratio as with the brighter magnitudes,
because if it did the whole sky would be
blaze of starlight. II telescopes with powers
far exceeding our present ones were made they
would no doubt show new stars of the goth and
2lst, etc, magnitudes. But it is highly proba-
bic that the number of such successive orders
OF stars would not increase in the same ratio
as is observed in the eighth, ninth and tenth
magnitudes, for example The enormous labor
of estimating the number of stars of such
classes will long prevent the accumulation of
statistics on this question; but this much is
certain, that in special regions of the sky,
which have been searchingly examined by
various telescopes Of successfully y-increasing
apertures, the number of new stars found is by
40 means IN proportion to the increased instru-
mental power. If this is found to be true else
where, the conclusion may be that, after all,
the stellar system can be experimentaly
shown to be Of finite extent and TO contain only
a finite number of stars. In the whole sky an
eye of average power will see about 700 stars,
IS have just said. With a telescope this
number is greatly increased, and the most pow
erful telescope OF modern times will show moro
than 60000.000 stars. Of this number not one
out Of 100 has ever been cataloged at ALL In
all, 81, ,926 stars, from the first to the nine
and half magnitudes, are contained in the
northern sky; or about 100000 in both hem
ispheres. All of these can be seen with three
