COUNTING THE STARS.
Tuk That Will Take Two Green
Tfloh Clerk Three Year to
Conipleta.
Two clerks at the observatory at
Greenwich are essaying the extraor
dinary task (jf counting the stars.
They are attempting in all serious
ness a feat which has always been
used satirically to typify the impos
sible. So far they have counted 212,
507 stars which, if astronomical cal
culations be correct, is about one-fifteenth
of the total number to be
found hi the firmament, states the
Philadelphia North American
The method of the tabulation is a
new evidence of the far-reaching sci
entific possibilities of photography.
The enumerators do not sit int in
the Btarlijf'it, and strive to count the
infinitesimal spots of light outlined
against the blue background. In
stead, they hare made a ' ';-;; t pho
tographic chart of the he i-nr. Thi
chart consists of a number of plates
exposed at different times in order
I to get all the planets and heavenly
bodies.
After the entire chart was com
plete the two astronomers began the
work of counting with the aid of mi
croscopes. It is estimated that be
fore the task is completed some
three years must elapse, for to in
sure accuracy the greatest care mus1
be exercised, and any attempt at
speed is out of question.
THE NAVY RATION.
Immense Amount of ProTlslona Con
sumed In a Year by Amer
ican Sailors.
The enlisted force of the navy dur
ing the coming year is expected to
consume 220,000 pounds of frankfu..er
sausages and 144.G00 pounds of sauer
kraut. This is a parti of the new navy
ration, for the component parts of
which contracts are shortly to be
awarded covering one year's supplies,
deliverable at the various navy yards
and stations. The sciic". ;s for these
provisions have been prepared in the
bureau of supplies and account, and
it has been one of the interesting
estimates of that bureau to figure
out the amount of subsistence of this
class which wjll probably be con-
: iumed on shipboard, says the Army
j ind Navy l!fg;ster. The aggregate
; supplies, in addition to the 220,000

NOT BOTHERED BY SERVANTS.
Women of aa Arlsona Mining Town
Do Their Cookln on the
Cooperative Plan.
The servant girl problem is no longer
a live issue at San Miguel, a mining town
in the copper region of Cochise coun
ty, Arizona. The women of the place
have worked out a "community of In
terest" plan with much success. They
have a cooperative cooking club, which
now consists of 45 families, and it re
cently celebrated the fourth anniver
sary of its organization. Four years
ago the women of the camp rebelled
against the "greaser" servants they
were compelled to put up with. They
therefore organized this club. A home
in the central part of the town was
leased, a matron was chosen and as
sessments were large enough to secure
a capable staff cf Chinese servants. An
exeoutlve committee of three purchase
all the supplies, and its authority is un
questioned. The club Is run on a fam
ily plan and each family has a table of
Its own. There Is a table d'hote for the
unmarried members. After four years
of trial the women declare that the club
means a saving of about 50 pr.r cent. In
the living expenses of each family, and
It enables the families to have better
service and better fond than if they
"batched it" alone. Internal dissen
sions are guarded against by a clause In
the constitution which allows any per
son dissatisfied with the club to leave
it Without
