NAP OF THE SKIES.


From the New York World.1
To photograph and map out the entire
heavens-tO search with the camera, the
profoundest depths OF space-tO bring
10 light all the heavenly bodies far be-
yOnd the vision of the most powerful
telescope-to tabulate the catalogue mil
lions of stars-is the stupendous task
which the International AStrOgraphlc
congress set itself to perform when it
convened in Paris, April 16. 1887
The work Of this congress Is nearly
completed, and already sections of the
star charts are being printed and sent
to the IS different observator1es interest
ed in the undertaking.
Mapping the entire heavens will prove
an epoch-making enterprise. Future
generations will chronicle the achieve
anent as one of the greatest of this CEN
fury, and each astronomer aiding the
work viii hold a charter to fame.
i Fifty-five delegates, representing the
10 most enlightened nations, deliberated
for nine days in Paris in 1887, deciding
to make the great star map, and Is OBJ
servatOrieS were appointed to do the
work. The meeting was the result OF a
suggestion made on June f. 1886, by DR..
Gill of the Royal observatory, Cape of
Good Hope. 1t was fitting that DR.. Gill
should originate the work, for it was
comet OF 1882 that astronomers the
world over turned their attention in the
first instance to star photography
The new star map is an amazing
will cover an immense globe having
diameter of "a feet During the work
$4,000 photogra phs will be taken, and a.
catalogue of $500 900 stars will be made.
Each photograph, to avoid errors, will
be duplicated Altogether more than 3d.
100000 stars will be photographed.
Previous to the middle of this cen
fury such work would have been con-
sidered beyond the bounds of possibility.
To tabulate these stars in the ordinary
way would take thousands of years and
the stars themselves would change their
places before the work could be half
finished. 1t is only through photogra-
ply that it can be done at all The en-
tire work could be done IN one night,
so far as the actual photographing is
concerned, but varying conditions Of at

dered necessary the spending Of a num-

Chicago. Nov 12.-Jeff Thorne. the
dress suit fighter" duplicated his per-
Torrance on his first appearance before
a Chicago crowd by getting knocked out
by Tommy Ryan at the Chicago Ath-
letic association Saturday night, the
same way as he did before the latter
sails Athletic club year ago, when he
faced Fitzsimmons. His finish came in
the third round this time, however, two
rounds later than F'itz reached him. The
left which Ryan sent over to the jaw
would have dropped horse, and his on
~ reason for putting it in so hard was
that Thorne had shaken him up con-
siderably in some of the exchanges, and
it seemed better to stop his opponent
than to continue in danger any longer.
