A tremendous task, that OF counting
the stars up to the nineteenth magni.
tude, has been undertaken by the
Dutch astronomer, Professor Kapteyn,
who has collected all the material fur

notably those from the American OBJ
servatories. Stars Of less size than
the fourteenth magnitude are found
in millions in the Milky Way and the
work Of counting them from photo
graphic plates can best be described
as similar to counting blood corpus

Kapteyn places the total at S42 mil
lion stars, the average being 2O,4OO
stars to the square degree of the
heavens. He has further calculated
that the total light emanating from
all the stars is equal to 1884 times the
luminosity Of a star of the first mag.

Pretty Girl Thief Gets 5000 by Ruse

ID DHILADELPHLA,P Pa.-What the pO-
4 lice declaAe to be one of the bold
est and most carefully planned rob-
berries perpetrated here in recent
years was committed by beautiful
21year-old girl, who, impersonating
an inspector in the John Wanamaker
store. collected 5000 in cash from five
cashiers. That the girl did not sue
ceed in getting away with several
thousand dollars was due to the young
woman cashier in the suit and cloak
department, who refused to turn over
the days proceeds to the Inspector"
The only clew to the girls identity
that the store detectives have found
Is the signature she used in signing
receipts for the money she collected.
On each of the five receipts turned
over to the cashiers she signed in
bold, firm hand the initials IN. r. c."
That the robbery was carefully
planned is evidenced by the fact that
the gir' preceded the regular inspec-
tor. who daily collects the cash, by
but a few minutes. So close was her
calculation that while she was getting
cash from one cashier the regular in
spector was collecting from cash
register only few feet away. She
told the cashier that the regular in
sDector had been discharged and she
would in future make daily collec-
tions.

Aged Churchman Charged With Arson

ri EWARK, N. J.-Ellis Appleby, OF
~ Old Bridge, ~ j., 60 years old,
deacon in the Baptist church, wealthy
and well known, was recently ar
rested on a charge of arson. Action
comes after an inquiry of six years,
in which the whole county OF Middle
sex has been terrorized by incendlary
fires. During the reign of terror muir
der followed arson. The specific ac.
cusation is made by an insurance com
pany in the case Of the burning OF
the home of Mrs. Jessie Brown on
August 81. In six years the residents
of Old Bridge have been strangely
murdered and more than a dozen fires
occurred.
Six years ago Mrs. Jane Wright, an
octogenarian, was found dead in bed
one morning in her house, where she
lived alone, across from the Baptist
church Of which Appleby is one Of
the elders. Every effort was made by
the authorities 10 find the murderer,

there is no reason why the building

easily be checked in its maturing

fact that the conduct of the service is

While the Thanksgiving mass is in
tended specially for Uncle Sans Off
cial guests from south of the Rio
Grande, attendance is by no means re-
stricted TO the Latin-American enVoys,
their secretaries and attaches and the

| to be present as are likewise the sec

| state, the officials of the Pan-Amer-
lean union and others having to do
with official intercourse between the

diplomats would always be made vel
'ome, too, and in this connection it
may be noted that just now there Is
not little speculation on the part Of
people who watch such things as to
what will be the future attitude of
those in charge of the Thanksgiving
mass with reference to the representa-
tives of two European countries
Spain and Portugal might be said
TO have an almost paternaI interest in
the Central and South American coun
tries-the relationship is closer and
more cordial in many respects than
hat between the United States and
England. Upward of a score of the
republics, though they have long since
thrown off the yoke of Spain politi-
cally still speak her language and are
essentially Spanish in sentiment and
sympathies. Similarly Brazil with her
Portuguese-speaking people is yet
closely allied to Portugal in ideas and
ideals. Under the circumstances there
fore, it would appear natural to al
ways invite the Spanish and Portu-
gese ENJOYS and the members of their |
staffs to be present at any Pan-Amer.
ican festival of good feeling. But in
view Of the recent attitude of Spain
toward the Catholic church and the |
policy Of Portugal in the same line !
since the establishment of the new re-
public, it is something of a question

recognition to the officials of thest
