LONDON, November 30. 1872.
The astronomer royal announced at the
Authors Club Monday that the great
map of the heavens is almost completed.
This celestial chart has been a quarter
of century in the making, and some
twenty observatories around the globe
have been cooperating.
Each observatory has taken 1910 photo-
graphs of the stellar zone allotted to IL.
and the complete set of plates VIII con-
tain every star in the armament down TO
the seventeenth MAGNITUDE. This VIII

cover the comparatively empty zone eN-
tending - degrees from the north pole
nearly 100000 stars are shown with an
exposure of forty minutes, compared
with 10000 recorded with six minutes
exnosure and barely 300 visible TO the
naked eye.
There will be 1900 plates altogether. SO
that if each complete copy were SOLD ior
5000 there would he big loss on the
transaction.

CURB ON WIRELESS
Government Supervision Will
Begin Friday.
SYSTEM TO BE GUARDED
Interference by Inconsiderate Oper-
ators Will Be Checked-Time
Set for Messages.
TO BE GUARDED

Wireless telegraph operation will pass
absolutely into the control of the gov
eminent Friday. This will not make such
radical difference to ordinary wireless
operators. but it will keep the whole bust
ness under government control and in
spection and will prevent any private or
commercial operators who think they are
funny from ''butting in and mixing up
important messages and possibly inter-
fering with a distress call from a vessel
at sea or an answer to such call from
a legitimate shore station.
The necessity for some sort Of authOri-
tative supervision over wireless has been
recognized ever since stations became
numerous and talk of government super
vision has been rife for several years.
The Titanic disaster emphasized this
necessity and there were several bills on
the subject introduced in Congress. The
London international conference last June.
to which the United States was one of
the SignatOries. fixed the status of the
stations doing an international business,
and Congress passed a set of regulations
covering domestic and interstate stations.
Reason for Regulation.
The enforcement of the radiogra phic act
has been placed in the hands of the Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor. 1t is
realized that most wireless operators are
not likely to willingly interfere with i'm
portant messages, but the idea of the
regulations is to fix it so that the less
considerable sort cannot interfere, or if
they do will be subject to severe penal
ties. The violation of the principal reg
ulatiOns is made misdemeanor punish
able with a fine up to $500 or imp risOn-
ment up to one Year.
The regulations fix the wave lengths Of
the licensed stations and provide that
they shall at all times be in charge of
licensed operator. There are regular
license forms both for stations and for
operators personally
To insure the undisturbed use of the air
for government stations the outside sta
tons have to keep out for the first
fifteen minutes of each hour, during
which time the government stations can
send without interference. All licensed
shore stations also are required TO listen
for not less than two minutes at inter-
walls of not less than fifteen minutes to
catch any distress signals that may be
going. In case a distress signal IS sent
from any vessel then all stations except
that to which the call is addressed must
keep out till all business in connection
with the distress call is finished. Any
station sending out fraudulent distress
call is guilty of mislemeanor.
Ships Under Rules.
There are about 1000 ships under the
government regulation that are COM
PEELED to carry wireless, and provision is
made for auxiliary engine to fur
nish power to the ships radio apparatus
in case of accident to the regular ma
chinery of the vessel.
