The Number OF the Stars.

The total lumber of stars one
can see Will depend very largely
upon the clearllesS of the atmoS-
phere and the leenneSs of tlle eye.
There are in the whole celestial
sphere about 5000 stars visible to
all ordinarily good eye. OF these,
however, we Can never see more
than fraction at any one time,
because a half Of the sphere Is al
ways below the horizon. If We
could see star in the horizon, as
easily as in the zenith, Il half OF
the Whole number, or 5000, would
he visible on any clear night. Bn5
stars near the horizon are seen
through so great d thickness of aJ-
mosphere as greatly TO obscure
their light, and onlJ the brightest
ones Can be seen. As a result of
this observation, it is not likely
that more than 1900 stars can ever
he taken in alta single view by any
ordinary eye. About 1000 other
stars are so near the Sourh Pole
that they uever rise in our lati-
tubes, Hence outof 5000 supposed
to be visible only 1900 ever come
within the range OF our vision, un-
less We makea journey towards the
equator.
AS telescope power is increased,
we still find stars OF fainter light:
But the number cannot go on in-
creaSiug forever in The same ratio
as with the brighter magnitndes,
because, lift did, the whole sky
would be ablaze of Starlight. Ii
telescopes with powers far exceed
ing our present oneS were made,
they would no doubt show new
stars of-tlle twentieth and twenty .
first, ETC, masnjtudes. But it Is
highly probable that the number
of such successive orders of stars
would not increase in che same ra.
ito as is observed in the eighth,
ninth, and tenth magnltudeS, for
example. The enormous labor of
estimating the number of stars OF
such classes will long prevent tho
accamula ion of statistics OH the
question; but this much is certain,
rhat in special regions OF the sky,
which have bean Searchingly eX.
amined by various telescopes Of
successfully increasing apcrtures,
the number OF new stars found is
by no means in proportion to the
increased instrumental power. If
this is found to Ue true elsewhere,
the conclusion may be that, after
all, the stellar system Cain be ex.
perinientally shown TO be Of finite
extent and to contain only u finite
number OF stars. In tue whole shy
an eye Of average power will see
about 5000 stars, ;ss l have just
said. With q telescope thls num-
Der is greatly Increased, and the
most powerful telescopes of mol.
ern times will show N. re than CO.
0G0, 100000 stars. OF tlllSnum Ger,
NIT one out of one hundred has ev.
er been caJalogned at all. In all,
314,92G stars, from the first to the
