How Astronomers Compute tho Number
In the Heavens.
Let as see what richness Of stellar
distribution is implied by this number
of 100, 600, 900 of visible stars, says the
Gentiemans Magazine. II may be
easily shown that the area of the
whole sky in both hemispheres Is Al ,a55
square degrees. This gives 2,424 stars
10 the square degree.
The moons apparent diameter being
slightly over half degree (Si deg. 5
min.l, the area OF its disk is about one
fifth of square degree.
The area of the whole star sphere Is
consequently about 100000 times the
area of the full moon. A total OF l00,-
O0o, 900 of stars gives therefore 500 stars
- each space of sky in area To the fun
Ynoon. This seems large number. but
stars scattered over as thiclSly ns this
would appear at considerable dis
tancc apart when viewed with tele-
scope of high power. AS the area OF
the moons disk contains about 7S0
square minutes Of nrc, there would not
be an average Of even one star To each
square minute. pair of stars half n
minute, or thirty seconds, apart would
form very wide double star, aud with
stars placed at even this distance the
moons disk would cover about 5000, OF
six times the actual number visible In
the largest telescope.

of the food they are obliged 10 eat in

Youths Companion.
Wouldn't il bc possible to get some
ripe peachcs?" he asked the vcnder.
II think not, answered the Athenian.
But pray tell me why?"
''Wc have no good roads If the
farmers should try to bring ripe fruit
10 market on mulc-baclx, IT would arrive
in the shape of marmalade."
''llut ut Corfu, also, the peaches were
green, and they have good roads, and
bring the fruit to town in wagons"
"Ah, WELL" said the man, there IL
another reason. The farmers have no
money, and they have creditors. They
can't wait for fruit 10 get ripe"
There. says About, you have fair
example of the state of Grecian agricul-
turc.
A French gardener, being at smyrna,
noticed that the Greeks had almost nc
vegetables in their gardens tomatoes

For wanton cruelty In the capture Of

simulated violence Ia the method OF

girl Is retained. Or. Manson. Ia his ac-

land says that ON the west coast mar
rage nowadays roughly follows the
lines OF marriage in Europe. but on the
east coast old customs prevail. a man
having made up his mind To take TO
himself wife, goes 90 the tent OF a
family, one OF whose girl members
meets his views, catches her by the
hair or In some other equally rude
way, and drags her forth 20 his home.
lie there presents her with bucket or
some useful domestic utcnsil, and the
ceremony Is complete.
According To Baron NordenslSiold,
etiquette requires that the bride should
receive hard blows. She does not sub
init readily. but bewails her fate, APP
pears with torn garments and dishev-
clcd hair, and makes a show OF getting
away from her husband. Sometimes
her grief is sincere, and sensitive
European would certainly not know
whether il was or not He might be
tempted to interfere, in which case he
would probably find himself opposed
by the bride rs well as bridegroom. In
order that the apparently miserable
woman might be compelled TO remain
in her new homo, the barbarous GUS
tom used TO exist Of branding her feet
SO that they We're too painful for her

she could with propricty declare her

In Greenland, il is easy TO tell who Is
married and who Is not. The Esqui-
maux women gather mp their hair into

ribbon, the color Of which denotes their
