on q balloon voyage across the Med
,.o~ranean with a view of testing the
nossibilitv of using balloons between
FrorcA. Corsica and Algeria in time

The success of the experiment has
hoen frequently endangered of late by
bitches in the arrangemnts. Comte de

.,nnort in the shape of subscriptions
from the ministers of marine and war
The former had promised a cruiser as
q convoy and also lent the inf1atlns

NJ do Tanessan decided that the sea-
son was not propitious for the exper-
iment and withdrew the cruiser ana
the apparatus. Then a portion OF the
balloon shed collapsed in a gale and
tore the balloon. This damage was re-
naired. but a few days ago another
accident DELAYED his departure.
FINALLY the aeronaut's luck turned.
Weather and wind improved, and with
the last moment NJ. deLanessen re-
voked his decision and ordered the
French second class cruiser de laChulla

conveyed by a private yacht.
The aeronaut is accompanied py
naval lieutenant, and two other aero

carrier pigeons to be released in three
batches daily. The balloon, which is
decorated with the tri-color, carries
accumulators for electric signal lamps,
and an electric pump to draw up sea
water for ballast whenever necessary,
by tubes immersed in the sea.

THE WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Foreign Estimates Place IL Many
Millions in Excess of Last Years.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture announces that
three most important estimates of the
worlds wheat crop of 1901 so far made,
agree that the crop is larger than that
of either of the two preceding years.
The estimates follow: Hungarian min
istry of agriculture. 2,671, $50, 900 bushels
of 60 pounds: Beerbohm's Corn List of
London, 2,711,6OO,OOO bushels of so
pounds, and Bulletin des Halles of
Paris, 2,790, 10000 Winchester bushels.
Our department withholds it's opinion
as to the degree in which the worlds
crop has been approximated in any of
these estimates until a considerably
larger number of official returns is
available.
The official Hungarian estimate says
the crop exceeds last years by 209, $751;
900 bushels of so pounds, or by 212. $780,.
600 Winchester bushels. According to
Beerbohm the excess over last years
crop is 200, 200, 900 bushels of 60 pounds.
and according to the Bulletin des Halles
the excess is 1876, ,777, 900 Winchester
bushels. The principal increase is cred
tied to the United States, Canada and
India, though other countries are cred
tied with larger crops than they had
in 1900.

Catholic Church at Rome will be held

thought likely that this assembly will

BETTED DRILL WORK NEEDED.
Gen. Merriam Also Recommends New
Cavalry Bit.

Washington, Oct. BIN his capacity
of commander of the department of
Missouri, Gen. Henry c. Merriam has
made an annual report to the War De-
partment. He devotes particular at
tention to the necessity of better drill
work by the soldiers.
Gen. Merriam strongly endorses a re-
commentator of Capt. Niche of the
Twelfth Cavalry for a change in the
cavalry bit. He says that even with
the recent Improvement, which has rem
dered the bit less severe upon the
mouth of young horses, there is still
a considerable percentage of horses
made vicious by undue severity in the
use Of the bit. He believes return to
the double rein is justified for at least
half of each troop.
A significant statement by Chief Sur
geon Kimball of this department, is
that with comparatively few excep-
tions youths under % years of age are
not able to bear up under the hard
ships and privations of an active cam
paign and serve only to incumber the
hospitals and to diminiss the efiicien-
cy of the army"
