DEAD IN STORM
ALONG OHIO
One Hundred Houses Are Demol-
ished and Church Spires
Destroyed.
FEW HOMES IN CINCINNATI
ESCAPE TORNAD0's FURY

Cincinnati July S.-With twenty
two known dead, ten missing, and a
property loss exceeding a million, Gin
cinnati tonight is making valiant
effort to recover from probably the
worst wind and rain storm in its his
tory. vi. .#
At $3.50 last night the storm broke
and a half hour later the city and its
suburbs were almost in total dark
ness. The telephone system was par
alyzed and the street car service was
completely suspended. Two steam
boats have gone down in the Ohio
river, one having hit bridge pier,
and the other was overturned by the
force of the gale. Probably 100
houses were levelled and half dozen
lofty church spires toppled.
When the full extent of the damage
wa sascertained this evening, it was
found that the few houses in the city
escaped damage. The streets in the
down town district are streWn with
electric signs and plate glass win
dows, and in the residence section
and suburbs all traffic is made impos-
sible by hundreds of uprooted trees.
Probably fifty club houses along the
Ohio were swept into the stream and
floated away. Tonight finds the city
with street car service practically
normal. The telephone service is rap
idly recovering, while the city has
done almost miraculous work In clean
ing up the debris which choked the
streets. The search for bodies in the
collapsed houses continues and the
river is being dragged and the surface
searched for bodies of those believ-
ed to have gone down on sunken
steamers. The storm played odd
tricks. Eleven people all related but
living in two widely separated homes,
are believed to have been killed.
According to figures compiled early
today, more than fifty persons were
killed and several score injured by
the violent wind and rain storm
which extended from Nebraska to
Ohio, last night.
The property damage is estimated
at several millions of dollars.
The greatest loss life occurred in
Cincinnati, and vicinity, where 25 per-
sons are known to be dead, and fifteen
missing, eighteen of the dead there
being deckhands who were drowned
by the capsiging of the towboat, Con-
voy, in the Ohio river.
In Eastern Missouri, the storm as
sumed the proportions of tornado,
demolishing 162 blocks in St. Charles,
town of about 1000 people.
st. Peters, town of 300 inhabitants
and Gilmore, village of 100 people
were almost wiped out by the torna-
do. In st. Charles and St. Peters
there was no loss of life, while in Gil
more only one person was killed.
In Lincoln, and Custer counties, Ne
braska, wind and hail caused heavy
damage to crops and in the village Of
Galloway several buildings were un-
rooted. There had been no loss of
life reported early today.
In southern Illinois the storm was
severe causing heavy damages in
many Localities.
Mound City, the business part Of
the town was flooded.
In Central and Southern Indiana,
three persons were killed and many
injured. Telegraph and telephone
service was demoraHzed, buildings
were unroofed and crops damaged by
the heavy winds and rain.

NO FORMAL DISCUSSION.

wv ToniWHL IIOSOoStON.
Washington, July S.-The United
States government will not engage in
formally in discussion of negotia-
tons with Germany regarding the
character of the Forthcoming reply to
the last American note on the sub
marine warfare Ambassador Ger
ard, at Berlin, was so informed The
outline Of the German note was cabled
by Gerard and it is known to be far
from satisfactory to the officials.
With respect to the sinking Of the
Lusitania, no admission of liability is
made regarding whether in the future
citizens of the United States will be
permitted to travel with safety on the
high seas, If passengers of American
ships or helligerent ships are not
carrying munitions of war. aym
The United States will be required
to inform the German government Of
the date Of departure and character
OF vessels carrying the Americans
and a guarantee that such ships have
no munitions Of war aboard. This
connection the officials here stated
would be an unneutral act. AS a,
whole, the German proposals are not
regarded here as bringing the ques-
tiOns at issue between the United
States and Germany any nearer a
settlement than several weeks ago.
President Wilson is expected to re-
turn Monday or Tuesday, There are
many evidences in official circles that
the German controversy again is re-
garded as critical.

The utmost that is possible to the intellect

Seeing that these numbers are Of the order Of
hundreds Of millions, IT is evident that such

tanning the law of increase or decrease OF the
numbers of fainter stars over the lucid stars,
and then averaging the results for the whole

among eighteen observatories, so that some

TO dedUce the law Of increase Of faint stars OF
each successive magnitude over the whole sky,
the question naturally arises as to whether the
condemnation toward the galaxy shown by the
brighter stars Of magnitudes FIVE to nine, per
sist for the fainter stars. Opinions OF astrono-
mers have differed widely on this important
point. According 10 Professor Kapteyn, OF
Groningen, who classified the stars according
to their visual magnitudes the condensation
towards the galaxy increases greatly with d.
minishing brightness the value for all stars
greater than magnitude IT. rising as high as
the oath magnitude.
knowing the law OF variation Il would be
possible to get the number Of stars of mag
nitudes below the seventeenth though they
have not actually been counted and likewise
since the ratio OF increase In each magnitude
is continually approaching zero Il would be
possible to obtain approximately the whole
number OF stars In our system. This is q very
brief and jejune account OF a much more
elaborate process by which Dr. Chapman and
Mr.. Mekotte have derived a formula from which
IL is possible 10 calculate the whole number OF
stars In our universe. However the root idea
of the process is sufficiently indicated

with some probability that half the total num-
Der Of stars are brighter than the 2sd or oath

is not less than one thousand millions. and can
not much exceed twice this amount"
star Of the 2Sd or 24th magnitude Is iust

hours exposure Of the plate, of the giant 6O-nch

Accordingly there is one star in the heavens
fer each inhabitant OF the earth.
In a subsequent investigation Dr. Chapman
Investigated the total light Of all the stars in
the heavens and came 20 the conclusion that
they would approximately give In their totally
as much light as 700 first magnitude stars, -lch
as Aldebarsn, or a Aquilae The light OF the
full moon would be about a hundred times as
bright as the light of al the stars combined
It is a curious coincidence that Lord Kelvin :

In terms OF the suns mass should tally with tbs

SCIENCE UNDERTAKES PRODIGIOUS
TASK OF COUNTING THE STARS

trayed. The work IS yet very Tar rrohh It's com
pletion.
Obviously even should 1T be possible to photo
graph every star, even the faintest that sends
its light to our Photographic plates, an army Of
astronomers would be required for several
generations TO come 20 make an approximate
count OF the numbers recorded, without risk Of
error.
The most suitable method for counting the
stars is to take photographs Of the heavens,
and then count the images impressed upon the
plates II we further desire to arrange the
stars according TO the numbers in each mag
nitude, We must have some standard chart OF
stars containing a great variety OF magnitudes
with which to compare our star images.
The most wonderful of all the sights in the
stellar universe are the glorious clouds of stars
that span the heavens like a great luminous
belt, and constitute the Milky Way. In modern
stellar astronomy the plane that contains the
and passes through the centres Of these
masses of stars is taken as a fundamental plane
of reference, and is called the gslactic plane
or equator. Obviously the stars are more
thickly crowded together in the plane OF the
galaxy than at it's poles, and there are innumer-
ably more faint stars than bright stars in the
neighborhood of this central reference plane.

of parcels to all who called for
them. The office also delivered
parcels on Saturday noon. From
five to twenty-five sacks of parcels
were sent out from here on every
