How Many Stars?

WE think of the multitude of stars
and would in all probability say
that on a clear, frosty, moonless
night We see millions Of them. In
reality, on such a night. if we leave
out the family luminous milky way,
we see fewer than 5000 distinct stars.
In the whole starry sphere, Of which
We see only half a any given time,
there are only a score of first-magni-
tude stars. beginning with Sirius, the
brightest of them. and including stars
like Orion's right shoulder and left
knee. Betelgeux and Rigel, Vega and
Arcturus.
OF stars of the second magnitude.
like six of the seven stars in the
dipper, there are in all sixty-five. OF
stars of the third magnitude, like the
remaining star of the dipper. where
the handle joins the bowl. there ara
100. OF the stars of the fourth
magnitude, under 500; of the fifth.
just over a thousand, and Of the
sixth, the extreme limit visible to the
naked eye on the best nights, some
thing over 5000, making in all fewer
than 5000 stars visible at any time
to the naked eye, while only half, or
about $500, can be seen at one time.
But even an opera glass shows I,
great many more, and larger and
larger telescopes disclose more and
more. Yet they seem limited in num-
ber, at least if it be true that the
light-carrying ether does not Absorb
and extinguish the light of the most
remote. For if they were really
infinite in number and their light
came to be impeded the night Sky
would be uniformly luminous, which
it is not. So that small telescope
which shows stars down to the ninth
magnitude will add about a hundred
thousand stars TO those visible to
the naked eye, while the largest telc-
scopes will show stars down 10 about
the sixteenth magnitude. Arglanders
star chart includes between 100000
and 100000 stars counted and plotted
by hand, while the modern photo
graphic survey, in which the stars
are made to map themselves, goes
! up to the high figure of l5,oo9,ooo. Il
is computed that the best optical
means which human genius can de-
wise may show 100,0O0,000 stars. If
this be, as is supposed, close to the
total of existing stars. and If We re-
| member that the population of the
earth is computed to be somewhat IN
| excess of 1900, OO0, 900, then it follows
that there is only one star for each
| fifteen persons. or, say. star Tor
each three families-by no means
, such a vast number as most people
suppose.

A World of Marsh.

A SCHEME has been proposed in
\ Great Britain for the draining of
the extensive marshes along the River
Euphrates, thus irrigating 100000
acres Of the barren lands of Meso-
potamia. That there is plenty of VA
ter to serve such purpose. il rightly
directed in proper channels, seems
probable from the examination of The
Babylonian marshes by Willcocks.
The stream by which the investiea
tors steamer entered the marshes Was
narrow and in some places nearly
covered with vegetation. They took
the wrong branch Of the river and
the boat stuck fast in the mud, where
the party remained all night in
wilderness of waters enyeloped in
cloud OF mosquitoes. Some OF the
party smoked, some covered them
selves up. while the seamen, as usual.
got up on the rigging to avoid the
pest. 1t was no use. The insects pene-
trated everywhere and everything.
There was something so new and
striking about these vast marshes
that the scientists almost forgot the
mosquitoes. All about them was wa
ter in which grew reeds, flags and
tall grasses. Mires or lakelets were
interspersed with great patches OF
white lilies, and stately pelicans
sailed about as though proud Of the
undisputed possession of such safe
and tranquil retreats. On the grassy
spots grazed an occasional buffalo. Is
landed in this wilderness of waters
was seen now and then the reed tomb
Of holy man.
The long-limbed beings who inhabit
the marshes live as much in the water
as out. They can get at their buffalos
only by wading up to their mid
die in the water, and their rice grows
in a swamp. One scientist reports hav-
ing seen a baby swung in cradle
suspended from the roof of a reed
hut, while the waters flowed unim.

did not talk. For one thing, their necks
were heavily bandaged; for another rea-

A FTER the luncheon there was an
automobile parade with a brass
band leading the way. and a rubber
neck chariot following close behind and
plastered with banners reading:

The Seminoles were inclined to balk
at the idea Of riding through the streets
with those banners attached to their
conveyance. but Quigleys eloauence
finally prevailed He pointed out that
it saved them thousands Of dollars. and
of course, there was no disputing that
argument.
Still, they felt a good deal better when
they got out to the park and beneld the
crowd-for there was crowd. Never
in the palmiest days Of tle Seminoles'
history had such a multitude struggled
to reach the turnstiles Enterprisine
curbstone hustlers had supplied them
selves in advance with souvenir pen
nants and badges bearing the figure of a
goat; others offered hastily prepared
treatises on the signicance Of the thy
roid gland.
Even the official "barkers" rose to the
occasion with stentorian appeals to:

NEW YORK, November 4.-Real es-
tate experts. familiar with the vast real
estate holdings Of the Astor family in
this city, expressed doubt that Maj. John
Jacob Astor meant that he was closing
out his real estate holdings here. when
he said in London that he was removing
his wealth from this country to England.
If there was a general selling lnove-
ment of New York real estate by the
Astor family or any part Of 1t the real
estate market would be demoralized. one
real estate man said. 1t was pointed
out that while the Astor family has sold
more than $50. 100000 worth Of real es-
tate in the past three or four years,
other large holdings had been acquired
in that period and members of the Astor
family were constantly buying and SELL
ing real estate.
No indication that Mai Astor was
proceeding to convert his New York
realty into cash had been noticed. 1t
was asserted, although several valuable
parcels in lower Manhattan had been
disposed of by him in the past few years.
No. Information could be gained at the
offices of the Astor estate here and all
inquiries were referred to Maj. Astor in
London.
