A GREAT STAR MAP
Now Making by TIE observstories OF
the World.

Now Making by tie OhservstOries OF
the World.
At a congress held at Paris in 1887.
it was decided that the end of the
nineteenth century should see the
making Of great catalogue Of all the
stars in the sky, upon q scale of com.
pleteness and precision surprising any
thing previously attempted. 1t is i'm
possible to exaggerate the Importance
Of such work; for upon our star cat
alogues depends ultimately the entire
structure Of astronomical science. The
work was far too vast for the powers
Of any one observatory. Therefore
the whole sky, from pole to pole, was
divided into eighteen belts or zones OF
approximately equal area; and each OF
these was assigned to single obsery-
atory to be photographed. A series
of telescopes were specially construct.
ed, SO that every part Of the work
should be done with the same type OF
instrument. AS far as possible, an at
tempt was made to secure uniformity
of methods, and particularly a uniform
scale Of precision. To cover the entire
sky upon the plan proposed, no less
than forty-four thousand one hundred
and eight negatives are required;
and most of these have now been fin.
ished. The further measurement Of
the pictures and the drawing up of g
vast printed star catalogue are also
we'll under way. One Of the partici.
pating observatories, that of Potsdam
Germany, has just published the first
volume of its part OF the catalogue. II
Is estimated that this observatory
alone will require twenty quartz
volumes to contain merely the Anal re.
suits of its work on the catalogue. AL.
together not less than two million stars
will find place In this, our latest d.
rectory of the MISUNDERSTANDING.

this evening that the election Of Nc.

At half past 8 O'Clock returns from

beyond question that Bryan and

than $4,000 or 10000 plurality in this
Democratic stronghold, and that there
was landslide i9 the outside counties
beyond all Reasonable expectation, the
pivotal state of New York had declared
in unmistsAable terms. although by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re

The returns from Illinois betrayed
like co&dition.
On the other hand the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as we'll as Ne
braska, seemed TO indicate strong Re-
publican gains over 1896. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had g&en
decisive Republican pluralitiss.
The count in some of the far West

have determining effect, aud before
10 O'Clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it was an.

story was easily and briefly told.

larger eleotoral'vote than four years
