COUNTING THE STARS.
Use Made Of the Microscope and Of
Photographic Plates.

Use Made Of the Microscope and Of
Photographic Plates.
The gigantic but fascinating task
which j. Franklin-Adams, II. X. A. s.,
has undertaken of counting the myriad
stars In the heavens and assigning TO
each its proper magnitude Is one which
demands the quality of almost infinite
patience.
Mr.. Franklin-Adams has already SO.
cured Photographic plates covering the
whole of the southern hemisphere, aud
these, with the series dealing with the
northern hemisphere, will number more
than 200. Each plate, which Is fifteen
inches square, records from 10000 TO
100000 starry images, and ON rough
calculation the total number of stars
photographed will prove TO be about
23,OOOOOO.
The task Of counting the stars on the
plates has already been commenced,
and that work, together with the cata.
loguing, will take another ten years.
The method of counting the stars on
the plates was explained by Il. j.
Mitchell, Mr.. Franklin. Adams chief
assistant
'Frst taking one of the plates" said
Mr., Mitchell, I'VE move 1t across Il
graduated grating contained in the
field of high powered microscope. 4
horizontal strip in the grating is then
examined. and the stars in this small
| area IRE then counted from left to
right. OF course II Is impossible TO in.

possibility that star may be counted

"Then there Is the difficulty present.

but Mr. Franklln-Adams has 4 method
! by means Of which all stars above the
| ,enth magnitude can be differentiated
from dust specks. Mr.. Franklin-Ad.
ans and his assistants check one an.
other in the counting, but there Is al
ways a slight difference in the totals,
due, of course, TO the personal equa-
| tion as represented by the operator.
