COUNTING THE STARS.

A tremendous task. that Of count ing the stars up 10 the nineteenth magnitude. Is reported to have been undertaken by the Dutch astronomer, Prof Kapteyn. who has collected All the material furnished by the most recent discoveries
 Stars of less size than the four teenth magnitude are found In mill lions In the Milky Way. and the work of counting them from photographic plates can best be described as simi- lar to counting blood corpuscles un- der a microscope. Prof. kayteyn places the total at s42.00.00O stars the average being 2O.4OO stars 10 the square degree of the heavens. He has further calculated that the total light emanating from all the stars is equal 10 2.3s4 times the luminosity of a star of the first magnitude.
 According to the Dutch scientis, the boundaries Of the universe. as far as human science has been able Co penetrate. extend to 32.000 light years
 This is a very notable extension of the boundaries assigned 10 the stellar universe. but it is difficult to under stand why even this enormous dis tance should he accepted as the out ermost limit of worlds.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

II is not often the Nugget is called upon to comment other than in a most faoyrable light, upon the local merchants Tor il IS only recently We have been brought face To face with what can be termed itinerant mer- chants.
 There should be no place for the jack Of all trades here in Nome. any more than in the states. IL Is the duty of the people To see that little or no encouragement is offered t~ summer merchants even if they choose to undersell the local market, cut well established prices and give to the camp an atmosphere ut cheap ness.
 Nome this summer apears to be taking the iuriatory degree oI the Seattle Spirit and d problem con Confronts the people that should be given serious thought before they jump at conclusions.
 The old saying-one cannot make headway without headwOrk-holds good in Nome today for there is a tendency on the part of some to cheapen the camp. and pave the way for second Dawson where wages arc from three to three nfly per day The people. especially the laooring classes, and all institutions helping to make Nome the camp it is. should reflect over their future course to in sure against dehection. disastrous results as timep progresses.

ings to the merchants having the grit to stay by the camp. calls up in the minds eye anything but pleasant pie lures for Nomes future. We can see the prices of living being forced down and along with cheaper commodities We can see a corresponding reduction in wages followed by hegira from the camp. then an influx of "Chinks'' working for one to two dollars per day all caused hy lack of proper re- ficctiun. to hand off defiection
 The saving of five. ten. fifteen or twenty dollars on the cost of living during the summer. hy trading with itinerant merchants. Is too much like paying all one has for whistle. IL Is worth the difference nf from fifty tC a hundred dollars to the working peo pie to guard against. or insure against a reduction in the scale of wages.
 We believe the city should get busy right away and pass an ordinance to compel iteinerant merchants. and birds of passage to pay tax much the same as required uf the old stand bys who winter with us and carry the real burden. Does 1t not require police protection for the i,inerant mer- hauled over our plankcd streets wear and tear as much as the loads hauled for the regular merchants? Win ti.ey not receiev the benefit of our street lights a little later in the season? And do they pay. or contribute one cent toward these expenses the people and property owners have to meet? Do they not demand the same fire pro tction as the regular taxpayer? Do they not expect the same rights In using our thoroushfares as the reg ular institutions helping to maintain the city?
 When lntlnerant merchants can slip into our camp between taxes. so to speak. and unload their goods before the time for assessing comes around it strikes the average person there Is something rotten In Denmark. and an ordinance should be passed forthwith to purge the city of this obnoxious parasite trying to foster Itself upon the community. and deriving its exist ence from what rightfully belongs to another.
