years ago by an enthusiastic band OF

colonists is interesting. A horn is
blown, generally twice, with half an

COUNTING THE STARS.
witch Clerks Three Years to
Complete.

Two clerks at the observatory at
Greenwich are essaying the extraor-
binary task of counting the stars.
They are attempting in all serious
ness q feat which has always been
used satirically to typify the impos-
sible. So far they have counted 212,-
507 stars which, IL astronomical cal
culations be correct, 10 about one-fif-
teenth Of the total number to be
found in the armament, states the
Philadelphia North American
The method of the tabulation Is a
new evidence of the far-reaching SCI
entific possibilities of photography.
The enumerators do not sit out in
the starlight, and strive to count the
infinitesimal spots of light outlined
against the blue background. In
stead, they have made a great pho
tographic chart of the heavens. This
chart consists of a number of plates
exposed at different times in order
to get all the planets and heavenly
bodies.
After the entire chart was com.
plete the two astronomers began the
work of counting with the aid of mi
croscopes. 1t IL estimated that be.
fore the task Is completed some
three years must elapse, for to in
sure accuracy the greatest care must
be exercised, and any attempt al
speed is out of question.

of the Revolutionary Days.

mittee of the Council. at its meeting

committee for some time-adopted and
spread upon its records for all the world
to see a resolution TO the effect that. in
view of the historic associations which
surround old St. Johns of Revolutionary
and colonial memories. the keeper should
wear a continental uniform. rather than
the less picturesque attire in vogue in
these latter days.
1t may be something of surprise to
Mr.. Graffisna's friends on Church Hill in
a da yo: two when that we'll known and
highly esteemed citizen Of that section
of the city. lays aside the austere and
forbiddins garb of blue coat and brass
buttons. which he has long adorned and
dons in lieu thereof the more picturesque
and impressive combination of knee
breeches, stockings and silver buckled
slippers of colonial days.
In Revolutionary times old St Jchn's
was the leader in patriotism and liberty.
In these latter days it has become the
leader in a reaction against the narrow
and restraining dictates of modern fash
ion. and will do yeoman service in the
movement for return TO colonial ways
and days.
Mr.. Grafigna's new attire is awaited

said:
There has been much discussion in the
