words wherever the English language » was spoken; but this is no longer so .Cobden's memory is respected only by the greedy, grasping middle class, and Bright has long since ceased to inspire any degree of respect outside the shop. keeper order to which he belongs. For a quarter of a century the "Tribume of the People" bas been no tribune at all. Noneworgenerous idea for that long period has found any dgment in his mind. He has been, and is, a mere extinct volcano," as useless for all practical purposes as if he had long since been numbered with the dead. We do not blame him for this incapacity to keep in the forefront of the battle of right with wrong. Early in life he came to the end of his tether as a reformer, and it is the fault of his constituents, rather than his own, that he is still a figure-head in public life. As a Quaker, Bright had the great good fortune to receive what may be called a Radical educatio, which bore certain fruit; but all his instincts were profoundly Conservative, and a Conservative he is and will remain. His career as a reformer has been honourable, but highly disappointing. Outside the interests and aspiration of his class he has never been able to display any sympa thies whatever. In a word, he is not man of progress, except by the accident of education, If he had been born in the peerage, he would have "stood by his order as silly as Lord Salisbury or any other noble lord of the gang.

He is not merely now an extinct volcano, but an 'extinct volcano that blocks the way by pretending to be in a state of cruption. All the same, Mr. Bright is the oldest and most reputable of our Radical lenders, and we have no desire to treat him with, disparagement. Had he had the good fortune to die twenty years ago, we might have gone the length of helping to build an altar to his memory. it is, we always prefer to think of him as a reminiscence, and, as Steerforth wished to be remembered, "at his best."

Next, perhaps, in the order of promise among Radical leaders comes the name of Sir Charles Dilke. Dilke started well. He was educated by his grandfather in sound Republican principles, and at the outset of his political career there was no reason to doubt his sincerity. Like all reformers of great abuses, he incurred much oblequy, but the people rallied to his call, and had he been true to their cause, he would to-day have occupied a foremost, not the fore most, place in the affections of the Democracy. But to himself Dilke was not true, nor to the cause which he espoused. A mad ambition scirrd him, and in order to get into the saddle of power, he male terms' with. "Society," He went into the Cabinet to "permeate" it with Radical principles, but instead of permeating it, he was permeated by it. He publicly renounced the "scatter-brained principles of his youth," and became a prominent figure in the slavish circle of royalty. The man is now down, and it is not well to speak harshly of the unfortunate. As a social outcast, lie is not undeserving of pity. The Tower of Siloam, which has fallen on him, might.equally well have fallen on scores and scores of men whose reputation to-day is untarnished. But what we say is this—he became a political apostate and traitor long before his social degradation, and it is as ä Inpsed Republican that we feel entitled to pillory him as the "frightful example."

pleasant to think, two auch veterans as Glad- stone and Harcourt are steadily doing, setting an example' to others of whom better things might have been expected..

Neither of these statesmen, it is true, comes within a measurable distance of the organic political changes and reforms which we regard as necessary and inevitable. But this is the day. of small things, and the multitude are as yet content to walk in the old ways, under the gui- dance of leaders whose horizon of ideas is limited. All the same, the roads that lead to Rame are many; and if Sir William Harcourt is to turn out a democratic angel in disguise, we shall not certainly quarrel with the shape or, texture of his wings.-Reynolds.

By Order,

The total number of stars one can see, says Professor Holden in the Century, will dépend very largely upon the clearness of the atmos phere and the keenness of the eye. There are in the whole celestial sphere about 6,000 starsviously advertised. however, we can never see ninre than a fraction visible to an ordinarily good eye. Of these,

at any one time, because a half of the sphere is always below the horizon. If we could see a star in the horizon as easily as in the zenith n hall of the whole number, or 3,000, would be visible on any clear night. But stars near the horizon

are

seen through so great a thickness of atmosphere as greatly to obscure their light, and only the brightest ones can there be seen As a result of this obscuration, it is not likely that more than 3,coo stars can ever be taken in at a single view by any unlinary eye. About 2,000 other stars are so near the North Pole that they never rise in our latitures. Hence, out of 6,000 supposed to be visible, only 4.000, 'ever come within the range of our vision unless we make a journey toward the equator.

As telescopic power is increased, we still find stats of fainter and fainter light. But the number cannot go on increasing for ever in the same ratio as with the brighter magnitude, beginse, If it did, the whole sky would be a blaze of star. light. If telescopes with powers far exceeding our presentones were made, they would no doubt show new stars of the twentieth and twenty-first, etc., magnitudes. But it is highly probable that the number of such successive unders of stars would not increase in the same ratio as is observed in the eighth, ninth and tenth magnitudes, for example. The enormous labor of estimating the number of stars of such classes will long prevent the accumulation of statistics on this question ;. but this much is certain, that in special regions of the sky, which have been searchingly examined by various telescopes of successively increasing apertures, the number of new, stars found is by no means in proportion to the increased instru- mental power. If this is found to be true else- where, the conclusion may be that after all, the stellar system can be experimentally shown to be of finite extent and to contain only a finite number of stars. in the whole sky an eye of average power will see about 6,000 stars, as I have just said. With a telescope this number is greatly increased, and the most powerful of modern times will show more than 60,000,000 stars. Of this number, not one out of 100 has ever been catalogoed at all. *** * In all 314,926 stars from the first to the nine and one- half magnitudes are contained in the northern sky, or about 600,000 in both hemispheres. All of these can be seen with a three-inch object glass.
