CHART OF ILLIMlTABLE VOID
Remarkable Five-Acre Sectional Map
Of the sky at Harvard Uni
verslty.

This seems to be an age of great
things. To talk of billions no longer
occasions a SILVER of incredulous adj
miration. One Of the wonders at Har-
ward university today is a five-acre
sectional map Of just plain sky and
considerations, At the expense OF
more than million dollars Harvard
university has provided the chart
which distinctly shows 100000 stars,
this having been prepared in sections
by the Harvard university astron-
omers. The sections of the map,
placed together, would cover an area
of more than FIVE acres, which Is a
pretty extensive plan Of charting the
'1llimitable void"
In scholarly annual report the d.
rector of the observatory calls atten-
zion to the fact that during the past
year s,796 photographs OF stars were
made by the observatory. For more
than SO years the Harvard OBSERVE
tory has kept complete records of as.
Economical developments. BY reason
or thirty years work and an expendt'
ture Of million dollars, this observa-
tory Ia placed ahead Of all other SINH
Jar institutions.
In the study Of the stars at the Har.
ward observatory there Is something
more than mere love of knowledge or
tender sentiment Even the slow.

Staying Power Of Irish Butter.

Irish butter, which is engaging the
attention of the house of lords, has
staying powers. In 1906 some men cut

containing about two hundredweight of
butter buried deep in bog. From the
style in which the tub was made It was
surmised that the butter was over 100
years old Yet, owing to the use Of
some preservative 1t was not absolute
