Careful observers in the great crop
states agree with opinions that have
been expressed as to the outlook for
wheat. The genera Nelief appears to
be that, with no serious setback, The
chances are favorable to a larger yield
than last year. The estimate Of the
New York Journal of Commerce that
the output is fairly certain to reach
635 100000 bushels, and may go to
700,000000 bushels, is much within
bounds, according to such judges as
the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat, which,
taking the latest report of conditions
made to the department of agriculture,
figures therefrom a possible crop Of
100000 bushels against 664, 100000
in 1908. If these figures shall be veri-
fed after the harvesting has been com.
pleted they will mean that the 1909
wheat crop has been equaled but twice
in the history of the country-in 1901,
when the total was 74S, 100000 bush
els, and in 1906, when the aggregate
was 735,26O,000 bushels. The corn
crop, the greatest of all, and which
last year beat all records, is still to be
heard from, and necessarily will en-
counter more risks than wheat, which
natures earlier, but so far the outlook
is promising.

THE HAY FEVER PEOPLE.

There is a national hay fever assoCi.

shire in August. OF course it will dis
cuss the causes of this aristOcratic dis
tress, and one of the causes that will
be considered relates to the effect OF
various plants, says the Ohio State
Journal. Among these are the golden
rod, the ragWeed and the Indian corn,
all OF which are accused of this griev-
Gus assault on the human race. This
discussion is particularly interesting
because each of these flowers has its
sturdy advocates for the honor of be-
ing called the national flower, and
against them ALL the hay fever associ-
alton Is preparing to utter its most
urgent protest The hay fever people
have no candidate for this honor, for
they look with suspicion upon all flow

affirmative action they will doubtless

A foreign historian, who has been
visiting this country and is naturally
writing about it, says that the ex-
posture of financial scandals in the Uni,
ted States is not to be taken as evil
dence of general corruption, but, on
the contrary, as moral upheaval. He
says that the revelation of this corrup-
ton and the outbreak of public opin-
ion, leading to regeneration of con-
ditions, would be impossible in Europe,
where the corruption would be ig-
nored, If not required to be exposed for
political or grating means. Conse-
Quently, what looks like a national
scandal is really credit to the under
lying morality of the American people.
To be so written about by a returned
visitor is so unusual that this writer
deserves Carnegie medal.

it opened and he floated gracefully to
the ground
Sorenson got the idea that the same
principle could be worked in cOnnec-
ton with flying machine. He built
machine on much the same plan as
the Wright aeroplane He inflated
his big balloon, tied the machine to 1t
with an attachment similar to that
used with parachutes and gave the
signal to let go the balloon.
1t shot up rapidly, and when about
$500 feet above the earth he cut loose
with the automatic knife. He expected
that it would float, that he could guide
it at will and ride safely to the ground
upon it. He guessed wrong.
In making the ascent he had to pull
the machine up in different position
from that which 1t was expected to
take when floating in the air. The
moment before 1t left the earth the
end of the machine thrashed upon
the ground and the rudder and both
wings were broken.
He had three parallel bars running
the length of the machine. One of
them he straddled and the others were
foot rests. Before he could reach the
levers 1t was necessary for the ma
chine to right itself. This it did after
1t had dropped few hundred feet,
but when he got hold of the levers
he found they would not work. He
realized in an instant what had hap
pened, but he was helpless.
A moment later the machine began
to dip and duck and then turned three
complete somesaults. The next in
slant it began to whirl at a rate es-
timated by Sorenson at about hun
dred times minute, and continued
1t until it crashed upon the ground.
The lapse of time from the cutting
loose from the balloon until he struck
the earth was about a minute. Sew
eral of the spectators had pulled stop
watches to ascertain how long he
could remain in the air. and all caught
1t at 60 seconds.
Sorenson retained his grip lyon the
poles and came down In a SITTING -
sition. Everyone expected to find him
dead, but instead, he crawled out of
the wreckage, and, beyond a limp,
showed no injuries.
Sorenson is not disheartened. He
will try it again as soon a, he has
gathered money enough to Laild an
other machine.
