RAILS BEATEN: WOLF PACK IS
 FRI|CHTENEDOFF l: \
Track Walker, Surrounded by Animals, Uses Novel
 Way to Save Life
Anchorage Times)

Stories of wolves infesting the Interior of Alaska, and particularly in the Mt. Mckinley and Yukon Valley regions have been coming in frequently of late. The maraud- CTS seem to be running this winter, it is said, in large bands in those regions.
 Arrivals from Mckinley Park re- gions Saturday reported that the wolves are ranging all over that area, where game is protected.
 One particularly interesting re- port of the boldness of the bands is told in the story of the exper- fences of Joe Bowers, track walker between Healy and Mckinley Park station, for the railroad. He recent ly was making trip along the track near Mile 452, within the limits of the park boundaries, dur ing the extreme cold spell. He sud denly realized that a band of big, lanky, gray timber wolves were en- cirling him. There were nine in the band.
 Being near a bridge, Bowers made his way to the bridge. There he noticed that the wolves were nov ing in closer and closer as they walked about in a circle, and watched him keenly. Having no weapon with him, Bowers picked up an angle bar and beat the steel rails with it. This strange noise threw fear into the big brutes, and they took to their heels.
 While few if any authenticated cases are on record of wolves actually attacking a man in the north, they certainly are highly destructive of game, and some have fears they would not hesitate to attack man if a long time without food or should they get a scent of blood near the man.

A STRONOMERS of the world have completed
half of a star catalog which eventually will be
the greatest guide of the heavens ever attempted
and will cost 50 500 900.
The cataog to date represents a half century of
work by many of the worlds most important OBJ
ServatoTieS. When completed it will consist of $50
volumes, each one the size of a volume of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica. A shelf Is feet long will be
needed to hold the entire set according to Professor
Samuel G. Barton of the University of Pennsylvania.
The volumes will give the exact positions of all
stars down to the eleventh magnitude.
The brightest stars in the sky are called the first
magnitude stars. An eleventh magnitude star is
100 times fainter than the fantest star which can
be seen with the unaided eye.
They will give the exact position and apparent
brightness or magnitude of 100000 stars
TINE number of stars visible in telescope de-
l. ponds upon the size of the glass The lOO-inch
reflector at Mt. Wilson, the largest in exist
ence, reveals number to the eye estimated at $780,
100000 Long time exposures with Photographic
plates doubles this number.
1t has been estimated that the 200-inch telescope
when completed, will increase this number ten fold.
BY now the reader may begin to suspect that per-
haps the stars are actually countless. But from
various considerations the astronomer concludes that
there are about 100 OO0OOOO00 stars in our galaxy
a large but nevertheless finite, number.
The present catalog known officially by its French
title of Carte Du Ciel" called the Astrographic
Catalog in English.
In 1887 an international conference was called
in Paris 10 discuss the possibility Of making photo
This conference led to the formation of the Inter-
national Astronomical Union as well launching
the catalog
A a result of the conference eighteen obServa-
tories in various parts of the world agreed TO
undertake the task and the sky divided into
eighteen equal sections. France took four sections
Great Britain three Australia and Italy two each
and Argentina, Brazil. Chile Germany, Mexico, Rus
STA and Spain each.
The United States. although represented at the
Paris conference did not undertake any of the work.
DR.. Barton relates
1t was thought. at the time that the catalog
could be finished in five or ten years. AS Dr. Barton
points out that was highly optimistic view of the
situation 1t was decided TO Photographic plates

says. Each photograph, therefore. represents an

times that occupied by the full moon. From this
fact It has been calculated that 1898 plates are

Due 10 the necessity of overlapping plates in or

necessary 10 use ll0T plates. Next, astronomers
saw the necessity Of providing a check and so
