SEARCHING FOR STARS.
Cameras Have Proved Valuable Aids to
the Astronomers.

Cameras Have Proved Valuable Aids to
the Astronomers.
From Pearson's Weekly.
or all the uses to which the camera
has been put, perhaps the most useful
Is that which enables the astronomer to
discover stars invisible to the human
eye. The eye is imperfect as an opti-
cal instrument and was not intended
for any other purposes than those of
everyday life. There are certain stars
which, although however powerful
may be the telescope to which ii is ap-
piled, the more sensitive film OF the
photographers plate will readily re-
cord. The reason for this is that hui
man eyes soon become tired of search
ing for faint invisible object, where
as the longer the photograph stares.
as it were, the more distinctly II sees.
Another reason why the camera ex-
GELS the eye is that there are certain
lights which, although they have no
effect on the eye, are perfectly discern
ible on a photograph. For instance, al
though the Pleiades have been gazed
at by human eyes for thousands of
years, il was only when Isaac Roberts
took photograph of the cluster ii
was discovered that they were bathed
in a widely extended fire mist, or a
mass of glowing nebula.
In order to take a photograph of the.
heavens a specially adapted telescope
is necessary. An ordinary objective
glass is quite useless. The plates used
are the most sensitive that are made
and the utmost precaution has to be
taken to guard them from every stray
beam of light
When everything is ready the astron-
omer places the prepared plate on the
focus and exposes il to the sky. 1t Is
necessary to use great care to insure
that the camera shall move properly.
for as the stars appear to traverse the
sky every movement has to be accu-
rately followed. 1t is for this reason
that another camera is attached to the
one containing the Photographic APP
paratus To this the astronomer APP
plies his eye and is thus able to watch
carefully one selected star and guide
the apparatus uniformly. The plate is
usually exposed for four hours, for il
follows that the longer the exposure
the more stars there will be recorded.
No less than 10000 stars have been
counted on single plate. Taking this
number as a fair average 1t has been
calculated that not less than 100, 000, COO
stars must be spread over the surface
of the sky. The stars which stand out
most prominently on the plate when
examined after the exposure are those
which are visible to the naked eye: the
intermediate ones are those which a
powerful telescope might show, and
those which are barely discernible in
the background are those which no
human eye can see.

instantly dispatched to all quarters of
the district and in a short time every
family, with household gear and herds,
are trekking as quickly as possible to
the district town in which is situated
the larger. 1t takes but a comparatively
short time for every white man. woman
and child to be safely ensconced. The
defense attended TO. riders are dis
patched to met the foe and to bring
news OF his APPROACH. Messengers are
spurred to the capital to alarm the
government and within a few hours
thousands of the finest shots and best
equipped horsemen in the world have
assembled in defense of their father
land. The Beers seldom attack the foe;
their general plan is, as in the late
jameson raid. to hover around until a
convenient piece of country is found,
when, trusting to their prowess as
shots and to the excellence of their
horses to keep out of harms way, they
pour deluge of lead on the foe from
long distance.-Capt. T. Lorraine White
In the March Forum.
