CHART or lLLIMITABLE volD
Remarkable Flve-Acre Sectional Mop
Of the Sky at Harvard Uni
verslsy. tfl-t

This seems 10 be an age OF great
things. To talk of billions no longer
occasions a shiver OF increduiouA ad-
miration. One OF the wonders'at Har-
ward university today Is five-acre
sectional map Of just plain sky and
considerations. At the expense of
more than a 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 Ifap.
placed together, would cover an area
of more than Ave acres. which Is u
pretty extensive plan OF charting the
'illimitable void"
In scholarly annual report the di-
rector OF the observatory calls atten-
ton to the fact that during the past
year 3.796 photographs OF stars were
made by fhe observatory. For more
than &c years the Harvard observa.
tory has kept complete records Of as
Economical developments. BY reason
OF thirty years. work and an expendt
turc Of a million dollars. this observa-
tory is placed ahead of all other simi
BAR 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
paced walk OF lovers under the arch.
ing Cambridge elms has no more OF
witchery and romance about 1t than
the wonders OF scientific research
stored away In the college observa.

has already become the shrine of mod
