The letters contained instructions to the
officers to use every endeavor to ascertain

subject, said that, while it may be impos-

THE New CoMET.-Sch9berle's comet,
which is just beginning to make itself Wis
ible to the naked eye, will soon attract
as much interest as it has already awak-
ened in astronomical circles. Prof.
Chandler Jr., of the Harvard observatory
was as usual first in the field with the ele-
nents of the new wanderer, and his fig
ures appear to have been even more cor
rect than usual Comparing them with
the results obtained by Prof. Stone of
Cincinnati, and the computers at Dun
Echt observatory, Scotland, for both of
which we are indebted to the courtesy Of
the editor of The Science Observer, it
will be seen how we'll the three sets of
elements agree. This agreement is the
more remarkable when it is remembered
how short time the comet has been tele-
scopically visible, and how easily the re-
suits are affected under such circum-
stances by minute errors of observation.
AS to the identity of the comet, nothing
has yet been deinately settled. Prof.
Stone thinks it is a return of the comet of
1887. Prof, Swift detects in the elements
some resemblance to those OF the first
comet of 1893 and the second comet of
ITO. Prof. Chandler thinks the orbit
bears no special likeness to that of any
known comet, while in brief letter,
which we publish to day, Mr.. Merrimen
calls attention to the close similarity of
Schaberle's comet and those of the third
comet of 1922 But all are agreed that
the new visitor is certain to be promin-
ent and handsome, although it may not RI
val that three tailed comet which appear
ed the year before the Norman conquest
of England, or Haley's comet in 1856,
which 50 terrified Pope Calixtus Ill that
he ordered church bells to be rung daily
at noon, and extra Ave Marias to be re-
peated by everybody.-Neao York 1Ti5-

The Wheat Crop Of 1851,

The system Of gathering statistics in
different countries gives quite approx
mate knowledge Of the crops of the years
and consequently of the rrice of bread
stuffs for the year ensuing till the next
harvest.
Our own crop comes considerably short
of that of lsSO-the largest ever gathered
but we shall have large surplus for
export, and on us and on Russia will de.
volve the pleasing dnty of feeding the
hungry people of Europe whose crops are
short. England had in 1880 very poor
crop. and was obliged to import nearly
or quite two thirds of the wheat consumed
by her people. This year the yield viii
be somewhat increased, and they hope to
produce nine and half millions quarters
of the twenty five millions quarters they
require. France will require more than
her own crop. OF the one hundred and
twenty millions bushels England will
require, with what France and other coun.
tries may call for. Russia will have thirty
millions of bushels, and we shall have an
available surplus OF one hundred and thirty
millions bushels. So Notwithstanding
our somewhat reduced crop, the world will
still have enough to eat and the prospect
is for some slight increase in price. or
rather, that the recent rise will hold in
some measure.
The estimates of our own crop were
founded on the crop of winter wheat only,
and the favorable weather for the spring
Wheat will, we think, give Il large increase
in this crop over what has been estimated
and that no " panic prices can he sustain
ed, Another fIc' su,lains this view, ard
that is the quite considerable amount still
on hand of the crop of 1880; so we may
look for firm markets but see no reason
for n marked advance in prices.
As to corn, the season was unfavorah
in the first part, but if frost holds off tn
prospect is for II large crop, and in such
case the present price will hardly he main
tanned. The next three weeks will tel

LIMA BEANS AND TOMATOES Some
people complain that of all tue garden pro.

bee II made in nearly all of them, the Lima
bean is now about where it was fifty years

has been some increase IN the SIZE of the

then, may it not be said at the same time
hat the excellence of the bean is such that
there is no room for Improvement in the

tell the cook what to have for dinner.
Now have not always lived in the far
