The Crop Badly Damaged in the West
Central StatoS.
CHICAGO, March 27.-The Herald
says: 1t is feared that the recent cold
snap following a season of warm wealth
or, greatly damaged the winter wheat
crop, but it is too soon to give even an
approximate estimate Of the injury.
Even those in the best position to Judge,
differ in their opinions and are disposed
to await later and more definite sdvices.
The crop is thought to have been dam
aged in Western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though ray OF hope is found in the
fact that the ground was dry. Central
and Eastern Kansas is reported to have
escaped without serious loss. Opinions
on the Minnesota crop are contradictory,
but it is likely to suffer II the cold
weather lie followed by a sudden thaw.
Some OF the farmers think that in the
absence of alternate freezing and thaw-
ing, the wheat has escaped damage. 1t is
thought the crop was not far enough
advanced to be injured. In Eastern In
diana and Central Ohio wheat is be-
lieved to have suffered severely, but fur
ther north and west the recent snowfall
has protected the growing plant. 1t 10
feared that Indiana wheat has suffered
considerably, but if the cold has not
reached the roots. as is hoped, the dam
age may not be as serious as feared.
A report from Sparta, ILL.,, says the crop
10 badly damaged in that locality, to the
extent, perhaps. OF 30 per cent. 1t is
thought Michigan has escaped without
serious injury, North and South Dako-
ia are not in the winter wheat belt. In
the latter the melting snow will benefit
spring wheat. In the former, planting
is backward and the acreage of spring
wheat will be one-third less than last

ENCIkE'S COMET.
The little Visitor That Travels by a
Cautiously Regular Time Table.

The Little Visitor That Travels by a
Cautiously Regular Time Table.
From the Boston Transcript.
Encke's comet, which has Just been dis
covered on its return by the Italian as
tronomer Cerulli, who has a private OBJ
seryatory In the southern portion Of the
kingdom, is one Of the best known of the
Jupiter group Of comets. This group, so far
as known, consists of nineteen objects, ell
Of which are members Of our solar system
and are revolving about our sun in orbits
of from three and ore-half years to about
double that time. The group is so called
because there is every reason to believe
that these wanderers were intercepted in
their path through space by the giant
planet Jupiter, and pertUrbed into orbits
about the sun. the distant end Of which
lies in the neighborkood Of the orbit Of this
planet.
Encke's comet is the most noted of this
group, having been known to astronomers
for upward of a century, and having been
sufficiently well observed to conform very
closely to its computed path. 1t was first
seen by Mechain of Paris on January IL,
1856 ard was again discovered by Miss
Caroline Herschel in November, 1875, and
after a few days by other astronomers. 1t
was again observed in 1906, but none of the
astr ono mers at the time knew of the iden-
tity of the objects which they saw. In the
winter of 1S1S-13 1t was visible for some
seveh weeks, and OEncke busted himself
with the computation of its orbit. In a re-
marx ably short time he had his computa-
tons finished, and was able to show that
it was moving in orbit of three and one
third years period, that the comets above
enumerated were identical with 1T and that
it had apprCched the sun eighteen times in
the intervals, unobserved.
Encke rext computed the time Of its re-
turn. announcing this date as May "a, 1S2o,
having been delayed on the way some nine
days by the attraction of Jupiter. and, ac-
cording to this time table the object was
again observed on its return. This COM
putation of Encke' was a most renarka bic
one, Involving, as it did, some of the most
intricate and laborious problems known to
the astronomers of the time.

A NEW STEAMER.
A Splendid Boat to BE Built by the
Norfolk and Washington Company.

Splendid Boat to BE Built by the
Norfolk and Washington Company.
The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company yesterday afternoon let the con-
tract for the building of its new steamer
to the Newport News Ship Building and
Dry Dock Company. This company was
the lowest bidder, though the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company of Wilmington,
Del, was very close to the figure which
won the contract. The new ship will be
the finest merchant craft in this latitude,
and for her inches will be as great in all
ways as any in the United States. Every
thing about her from the cutwater to the
sternpost, and from the keelson to the
truck, will be as model as modern genius
can make ii. The firm which has the con-
tract Is a comparatively new one and will
have a big incentive to do it's best in the
matter OF this latest addition to the Poto-
mac fleet. The coming ship Will be of the
propeller type, after the fashion of her
sisters, the Norfolk and Washington,
though much larger. She will be sixteen
hundred tons net; length on water line,
20 feet. beam at water line, 81 feet; beam
on main deck, 90 feet; depth of hold, 10 1-2
feet; draught, light, aft IL feet; draught,
forward, ~ feet. She is to be fitted with
the most approved triple expansion
gines and is to have four of the best boil
ers. Her speed is not to be less than
reach twenty-five. Her keel is to be laid
within few days and she is to be turned
over to the Norfolk and Washington Com
pany at a date not later than June l. 1895.
Her mission will be to run day route be-
tween this city and Norfolk, touching at
Alexandria, Piney Point, Point Lookout
and Old Point. During the summers she will
leave Washington at $50 am. and make
Norfolk at $50 pm. During the winters
she will be used to relieve the other ships
of the company when they are given their
annual docking and overhauling. The in
terror fitting and furnishing will be of the
most luxurious pattern. Altogether she
will be a magnificent example of the pro-
gress OF commerce on home waters. 1t is
not known what her name is to be- but 1t is
thought likely that she will be christened
the Newport News. The idea of the COM
pany in putting this craft on their route
Is not entirely to accommodate the sum-
mer tourist travel, but to relieve the heavy
pressure of the freight traffic. The traf-
fc OF a local nature is Of very little sig
nificance, but this line of steamers Is one
of the main links between the north and
south. During each season a heavy mass
of freight passes through to and from the
cities of the two sections. When the news
that the contract had been let became
noised along the river front many con-
gratulations poured in upon Superintendent
John Callahan from the shipping colony
Of Washington.
