THE NOVEMBER METE0RS.
Two Grand Displays Are Billed for
the Present Nom.

Two great meteoric displays are promis-
ed for this month. The first of these Is
promised for the 18th 1t will result from
the first meeting of the advancing col
umns OF the great Leonid meteors, which
envelop the earth in fiery spectacles once
i'll every 334 years. The main mass OF
these meteors is due in November, 1890,
but, since their array extends over u
length OF at least 2,0o0,000,000 miles, they
require not less than three years TO pass
the place where their orbit interSectS that
OF the earth.
The other great shower occurs on the
night OF November 27, and will be caused
by the meeting of the earth with the ne
teOrs known as the Andromcdcs, or Bic
lids, which are closely related to the ia
nous missing comet of Biela, if they are
not, in fact. scattered debris OF that con-
et itself.

RECORD OF THE WORLDS CROPS
Official Estimates From the big Pro-
ducing Countries.

Washington, Nov ll-Sta tistician
Hyde ri the agricultural department has
completed the official statistics of the
crops OF the world for this month, and Il
revised review OF the worlds wheat is an
important feature. Subioined are official
estimates OF agricultural departments of
various wheat producing countries of the
world:
Russia. Az 100000 Winchester bushels
an increase OF 100000 Hungary, 1872
2T1 900 bushels of 30 pounds; Germany.
ll5,OoO,00O bushels of TO pounds; Italy,
l2221 900 Winchester bushels; Spain.
~ 900 900 Winchester bushels; Roumania.
5S0O00Oo Winchester bushels; Manitoba
- 900 900 bushels; Ontario, $4,000 900
bushels.
The London Times estimates the wheat
crop of the United Kingdom at - 800 900
Winchester bushels, considerably in excess
OF the estimate a month ago.
Ao the wheat area of the more eastern
provinces was larger than in recent years
it seems likely that the total for Canada
will reach the highest OF last months es-
Inmates, $1,000, 900 imperial bushels
Australia has suffered from drought,
but this is now broken. If the Australian
wheat crop should fall short of the
Broomhal estimates, the largest, it may
i'll any case equal OF perhaps exceed the
very moderate estimates OF the other two
authorities last month. The Broomhall
estimate was 54,0OO,O0O bushels of TO
pounds, while the estimate OF the Bullr-
tin Des Halles was 37,000,0OO Winchester
bushels. Severe flUsts have been reported
from Argentina and the latest accounts
as to the outlook for the wheat crop in
that country are not favorable.
