Are the Number Of stars In Space
Without Limit?

Without linitf
How many stars IRE theref IL Is not
known, but most astronomers believe
the number is not unlimited. The ar
gument Is that with an infinite uni
verse OF stars the heavens would be
one uniform blaze Of light, The more
distant stars are. of course, DINNER;
some are too far away to affect the
naked eye at all, but no matter how
slight the units an infinite number OF
them would produce the effect de
scribed.
As there is no uniformly blazing sky,
the number Of stars, though possibly
Immensely great, must DO limited
This argument Is supplemented In II
recent astronomical paper by n similar
one drawn from gravitation, Every
star. no matter how distant exercises
fits own power Of attraction on every
other heavenly body, including our
earth.
However, as the earth's center Is
farther away from the attracting body
than Its surface is. particles on the
earth's surface are attracted with
greater force than those at the center
aud the practical result IL to lessen the
force with which the earth's mass Is
held together,
Now, II the number OF stars IL infi-
Mite. this decrease would be so great
that weight gu the earth would practl'
cally cease to exist Moreover. the
same conditions would prevail every
where throughout a boundless universe
and probably all masses would he dis
ruptcd. That this result does not oc'
cur Is a proof. we are told, That the
number " heavenly bodies In exist
ence IL not Infinite.
These arguments make certain as
sumptions that may or may not be
granted. they can neither be proved nor
disproved. The argument from light as
sumes that light waves are transmit
tod through space without loss; that
FROM gravitatlon assumes that the
same thing Is true for gravitationnl
attraction.
If light or gravitation Is absorbed or
lost In some way when passing IRON
star to star. the number Of stars may
be infinite after all AT its best the
speculation Is more curious than con
elusive. Chicago Record.Herold

FIND GOLD IN DAM PIT.
Several Nuggets of yellow Metal
Picked Up Near Cincinnati.

Cincinnati.-People living in down
the river villages are wild with excite
ment over the discovery at the govern
ment dam at Fern Bank of a vein of
what is thought to be pure gold.
Supt. RathbOne of the company that
is engaged in building the dam was
experimenting the excavations inside
a cofferdam on the Kentucky side of
the river, when he noticed a small
lump of something bright in the pit.
Rathbone picked up the shiny bit of
metal and was surprised to find that it
resembled gold. After a brief search
he found several more Of the mug
gets and showed them to President
Sheridan, of the contract company
Sheridan agreed with Rathbone in his
belief that the metal was gold, and a
chemical te5t soon justified their be
lief. Homer Nelson, laborer, en-
plOyed On the works, also found sew
eral small nuggets and had hidden
them in his tent, but acknowledged
the find when Rathbone's discovery
became public.
1t is impossible to tell at present
whether there is any more of the
precious metal in the pit, but investi
cations will be made to find out.
AS all the earth taken out from the
pit has been thrown into the channel
of the river a great deal of the pocket
may have been lost.

FivE.cENr PIECE BRINGS s71S.
Big Prices for Rare Coins Paid at
Auction in New York.

New York.-An insignificant looking
little piece of silver minted in 1902
and for which the treasury officials in
Washington will give only nickel,
was sold at auction here for $715.
The purchaser was H. o. Granburg OF
Oshkosh, Wis, the most noted coin
collector in the northwest. He got
collection of the late James B. Wilson
of this city.
The coin is a half-dime and, al
though 106 years old, retains its orig
inal luster, and is the finest specimen
of the 1902 half-dime in existence.
There are only 10 other similar coins
known, and when this numismatic
prize was bought by Mr.. Wilson in
1884 it cost him $500.
The price paid is new high RECORD
for half-dimes, and records for quar-
tiers and cents were also smashed. A
quarter dollar of 1927, on which the
date has been pressed over the
numerals '23, brought $3.50, the
largest sum ever paid for a coin Of
tkis denomination. 1t was bought by
3. NJ. Brand, a coin collector and
dealer of Chicago.
The top notch price for cents was
realized for a wreath coin of 1898 in
perfect condition. A cent of 1895,
made valuable by the figure five merg-
ing in the bust, brought $3.50; an
other of 1898 with an endless chain of
Is links, instead of a wreath on the
face, was bid in at $3.50, while an
identical coin of the same date which
had a minute nick in the edge, rs
sold for $3.50 less.
Other high prices for cents not so
rare were $2S for a 1893 wreath cent
like the one bringing $S1, except for
an edge dent; $3.50 for one minted
in 1874; $40 for 1899 cent, and $25
for one made two years later in 1901.
There was lively bidding for one of
the coins on which the date 1893 had
been pressed over the date 1898. 1t
finally was sold for $50.
