HOW MANY SOULS?

Prof. Frederick H. Sears, eminent astronomer ot Mt. Wilson observatory has been making some inter- esting estimates concerning the inhabitants of the uni verse, which runs into big figures.
 First, he notes that there are about 50 billion suns many of them immensely larger than own each of which may have at least world spinning around it, while many may have several.
 The earth has estimated population of about two billion people, if each of these has only one inhabited planet and these planets average many ln habitants as the earth, it would that there are 60 quintions of living people, To write this in figures you have only to put down 6 with 19 ciphers added after it.
 This estimate, or guess assumes only the possible number of people nhabiting the now visible universe How many more there may be no one knows, and it is not likely that telescope will ever be made power full enough to discover them all.
 But, taking the estimate it stands it refers only to people now living The number that have lived and died and those who yet to live and die is left en- trey to the imagination. Supposng that all have or will have immortal sous it appears that there is little like hood of anyones getting lonesome m the hereafter whatever his destination.

know from experience.
with these things in view, the COM
mission has included in its new type
of stenographer and typist examina-
tions what 1t calls general test, which
is aimed to demonstrate the horse
sense of the competitor and has i'm
proved methods of testing ability in
spelling and knowledge of English.
THE commission does not depend
upon mere theory in devising tests
such as this. The test itself is thor
oughly tested before 1t is used in an
examination by trying it out on large
group of stenographers and typists
whose grades of efficiency have been
determined with comparative exactness
For the trial. Government employees
are selected whose efficiency ratings
range all the way from barely salts
factory to a high degree of excellence
The test must determine that the
stenographers and typistS who are
known to. be good make high scores In
the trial examination and those who
are known to be barely worth employ
ing make low scores. If this result Is
not shown, the particular test used Is
discarded and others are devised and
tried until the desired results are OBJ

CAPITAL MERCURY
DROPS "a DEGREES
Temperature Due for Rise
Again Sunday After Fall
From SO to Sd.

A 34-degree drop in temperature
overnight sent Washingtonians into
closets and chests in search of top
coats this morning as a great portion
of the Northeastern part of the Nation
shivered at the arrival of the first
harbinger of Winter.
Yesterday the sun beat down on per-
sons mopping perspiration from their
brows and this morning those same
persons looked cut on chilled world
and decided they'd better have the
coal laid in
The Lake regions. North and Middle
Atlantic States and the Ohio Valley
suffered from the drop, w. r. Stevens,
Weather Bureau forecaster, said today,
adding that some of these had not felt
all the belated Summer warmth that
had descended on the Capital in the
past few days.
Yesterdays maximum temperature
in the city was 88 degrees, at about 3
o'clock. The mercury began to drop
shortly after this. and did not stop
until just before o'clock this morn
ing, when it registered 54 degrees. BY
noon 1t had returned as high as 81. but
today's maximum will be at least 20
degrees cooler than yesterdays high,
Mr.. Stevens said.
Tomorrow, with foot ball contests all
over the country, will remain COOL
good foot ball weather." Mr.. Stevens

that there won't be considerable warm

of the days of Marie Antoinette, when
little ladies in bouffant skirts courtsied
in the minuet to gentlemen in SILK knee
breecheS. Many of the Minister'S danc-
ing figures are Dresden as well as
Sevres, and it Is interesting to note the
delicacy of coloring and the smo- thness
of the workmanship which characterlzed
both the products OF German ana
French factories of a century past.
On the top of a large cabinet, the
Minister has placed some choice pieces
of Capo di Monte, the Italian ware
which was produced in porcelain
factory near Naples as far back as 1876,
and so delighted the artistic eye OF
Charles the Third.
Sidarouss Pasha does not depend
upon others to identify the pieces
which he collects. All the little marks,
some crowns, some fleur de lis. others
mere crosses, in dark blue, light blue
or black. which indicate the period in
which they we're produced at the fac
tories of Vincennes, Straffordshire,
Dresden, SevTeS or other famous por-
celain centerS, are as familiar to the
Egyptian envoy as they would be to
professional collector.
Many of the pieces of statuary in
cluded in the SevreS group, date back
to the period when Madame de Pom

known as Pompadour blue. This rich
shade of blue is found among many
of the Minister'S pieces.
Perhaps no period of the Sevres porce-
lain shows richer coloring and finer
detail than that of the period of la
Pompadour. when Louis XIV did SO
much to encourage the perfection of
the ceramic arts.
The transportation of this remarkable
10 Df {e
the least interesting factor of their
presence in Washington.
Marveling at the perfect condition of
the newly arrived collection. Sidarouss
Pasha explained to his visitor, lit was
necessary to pack each piece separately.
Packed and wrapped in boxes, not one
piece was broken or nicked."
At dinner last evening given by the
Minister to commemorate the anniver-
sary of the accession of King Fuad to
the throne. which will be celebrated to-
day in Egypt, guests were given the op-
portunity of seeing for the first time the
ENJOYS interesting collection OF porce-
lainS.
Relative to the festivities which ac-
company the celebration of the holiday
today, the Minister said:
Usually the celebration in Alex
andria is marked by great illumtnattonS
and fireworks This year, however, his
majesty, in consideration of the eco
nomic depression. has ordered that the
money usually expended upon fireworks
be used for the relief of the poor and
needy"
Following the example of his ruler.
Sidarouss Pasha dispensed with all
ostentation, reserving last evenings
celebration for a limited number of
friends and guests, among whom were
included Vice President Curtis and his
hister, Mrs. E. E. Gam.
