VISITS CITY AFTER
FIFTEEN YEARS
at improvements Made
in Harrisburg While He
Was Absent

L. l.. Wolf. a former Harrisburger,
now located in Cincinnati, is calling
on friends in Harrisburg. This is his
first visit to Harrisburg in fifteen
years. The young man is a son of the
late Adolph Wolf, who was at one
time prominent horse dealer.
Mr.. Wolf was a resident of Cumber-
land street, fifteen years ago. He was
an usher at the old Grand Opera
House. and assisted his father as
bookkeeper. He is now National rep
resentative for Edwards Manufactur-
ing Company, and a prominent citi-
zen of Cincinnati. He came to Harris
burg to visit relatives and friends, but
Is also giving publicity to plans for the
big convention of Fire Chiefs to be
held next month. He is chairman of
the finance committee of the general
committee in charge of arrangements.
Speaking about Harrisburg Mr.. Wolf
said:
Gee. but this town has grown. I
could scarcely believe 1 was in old
Harrisburg when 1 walked up Market
street. When one is away from his
native city for fifteen years, and dur
ing that time that city is making i'm
provements, 1t keeps him guessing to
find some of the old landmarks. Har-
risburg is a real city now, metropoli-
tan in appearances and is showing
business activity that indicates a pros
porous place."

AMAZING MASSES OF STARS

BY studying the distribution of stars
in the globular masses, E. Pickering
has deduced, from observation, the
apparent density, !. e., the number Of
stars per unit of surface at different
distances from the center of the mass;
he concludes that the distribution is
the same for bright stars as for feeble
ones, and also that the law of distri-
button is the same from one mass to
another.
H. Won Zeipel has endeavored TO
deduce, from the apparent density on
the celestial sphere, the true density
in space, with partially satisfactory
results. The distribution of stars near
the center was represented in salts
factory manner, but the density at the
boundaries is less than that required
by the theory.
In a new memoir he arrives at a
novel conclusion. Each of these
masses is a gigantic system contain
ing about million stars; the number
of stars visible on a plate is not the
hundredth part of the total number.
