Some stars and How Counted.

The gigantic task of counting all
the stars in the heavens and assign
ing to each its proper magnitude is
one that demands the quality Of al
most infinite patience, and without
the art Of photography the task would
be almost impossible. Photographic
plates covering the whole of the
southern hemisphere have already
been secured, and those with the Sc

phere will number more than 200

total number of stars photographed
will be about 23 900 900. The task
OF counting the stars on the plates
has already been commenced, and
this work, together with the catalogu-

None of the fremen were elected,

in this department.
Bonds Increased.
Although nearly all the old police
force were reelected last night, and
this Is a, cause for great delight
among the men in blue, but the bit
terness in the sweet has been re-
ceived. All of the surety companies
operating in the state have gone to-
gether and have doubled the fee for
making a bond for the officials. Pa
trolmen and iremen are required to
execute a bond Of $1,000, and the
fee has been $3.50, but beginning
next year the fee viii be 81. The
