Llaht Of the Stars.

Various attempts have been mcde to
estimate the light Of stars. In the
northern hemisphere Argelander has
registered 324,000 stars down to the
nine and one-half magnitude, with the
aid Of the best photomeuic data.
Agnes NJ. Clerks System Of the Stars
gives the sum Of the light of these
northern stars as equivalent to LAO
OF full moonlight, and the total light Of
all stars similarly enumerated in both
hemispheres to the number Of about
100000 is roughly placed at 1.1S0 Of
the lunar brightness. The scattered
light Of still fainter celestial bodies Is
difficult to evaluate. BY photograph
ic method Sir William Abney in 1895
rated the total starlight of both hem
ispheres as LOO of full moonlight,
and Professor Newcomb in 1901 from
visual observations Of diffused sky
radiance fixed the light power Of all
stars at Just 72S times that Of Capella,
or 1.S9 Of the light of the full moon.
II is not certain, however, that the sky
would be totally dark If all stars were
blotted out. Certain processes make
the upper atmosphere strongly lumi-
nous at times, and one never can be
sure that this light Is absent
