1908.

Write it 1908, brother, for 1907
has passed and is now numbered
with the yester years. Are you
not glad to be spared and to
breathe Gods pure and medicinal
air? Have you beeu true to your
God and fellow man or have you
unnecessarily transgressed the
laws of God and man, wantonly
and maliciously? Have you striv-
en- to improve the community in
which you lived and are part
and parcel, or have you been
negligible quantityY But what
ever have been your fault, lay
aside them and go forth into the
New Year bouyant aud determin-
ed TO make your worth manifest
to men. The month January, is
according to Greek Mythology,
named after the God Janus, who
is supposed to have had two
faces, one watching the old year
out, the other the New Year
make it's debut. There is no me-
cessity for any of US to make
long and fruitless promises as to
our aim for the New Year, short
ones are more preferable. But
let each person strive to do some
thing that is imm rtable. How
futile indeed is the man who can
but live to the grave.
How great and how grand are
the men and the women whose
deeds have been a light to them
and their contemporaries and are
handed down to each succeeding
generation, becoming more brill
liant and more transcendent year
after year, because of the fact
that as candle becomes more
brilliant the more you light other
candles from it, SO does the lives
of these noble sires. Therefore,
let US strive to know the right
and do it.

because he has moved his second

who feels the insult, to refrain
from supporting his brothers
cafe on Washington st. because
just as soon as he gets up he too
will move to Monroe and 9Th and
not cater to colored trade. We

An Inn.niou. suindI..

A large number Of chemists In Paris
have just been the victims Of an in
genious swindle. About 200 Of them
the other day received q visit from an
Individual who handed In a prescrip-
tion TO be made up. Among the ingre-
dents was one which was quite un-
known to them, and a note was added
to the eject that 1t was to be obtained
only at a certain wholesale depot The
chemists almost to q man sent on to
the depot for the special ingredient
and paid II francs for a bottle Of stun.
The prescriptions were duly made mp.
but were never claimed, and It now
transpires that a couple Of men had
temporarily hired the depot and sold
bottles OF colored water to the unsus-
pecting chemists at II francs apiece.
The Paris police are anxiously inquir-
ing for them as well as for their con-
federates who visited the chemists

COUNTING THE STARS.

Ues Mads 81 the Mieroseops and q
Photographic Plates.
The gigantic but fascinating task
which J. Franklin-Adams, +. r. A. s..
has undertaken Of counting the myriad
stars IN the heavens and assigning TO
each its proper magnitude is one which
demands the quality Of almost Infinite
patience.
Mr.. Franklin-Adams has already Sc
cured Photographic plates covering the
whole Of the southern hemisphere, and
these, with the series dealing with the
northern hemisphere, viii number more
than 200. Each plate, which Is fifteen
inches square, records from 10000 TO
10000 starry images, and on a rough
calculation the total number OF stars
photographed win prove to be about
23.0o0,O0O. =
The task OF counting the stars on the
plates has already been commenced.
and that work. together with the eata-
loguing, win take another ten years.
The method Of counting the stars on
the plates was explained by r. J.
Mitchell, Mr.. Franklin-Adams'. CHIEF
assistant
First taking one OF the plates" said
1 Mr.. Mitchell, I'VE move It across G
graduated grating contained In the
field Of a high powered microscope. A
horizontal strip In the grating is then
examined. and the stars In this small
area are then counted from left d
right OF course II Is impossible to In
sure absolute accuracy, for there IL thu
possibility that a star may be counted
twice or missed altogether.
Then there is the dif1culty present
ed by mechanical specks on the plates
! which may at first be taken for stars
but Mr.. Franklin-AdRms has a method
4 by means Of which all stars above the
! tenth magnitude can be differentiated
from dust specks. Mr.. Franklin-Ad,
ans and his assistants check one an
other In the counting, but there is al
ways a slight difference In the totals
due, Of course, to the personal equa
tion as represented by the operator.
Merely to count the stars on ar
average plate apart from noting theil
Photographic magnitude occupies the
time Of two men for more than a fort
night II they work seven hours a day
In taking the plates Mr.. Franklin-Ad
ans used a triple achromatic ten incl

hemisphere the minimum exposure wal
