SHES AT THE EARTH.
Astronomers Are Dumbfounded
When Transit Is Not Made on +.

upsETs THEIR CALCULATIONS.
Scientists at Loss for Explanation
and Believe the Tail May Have
Become Curved.


The earth did not pass through the
tail of Halley's comet at the time
scheduled by the astronomers. Instead,
the heavenly wanderer SHE'D and turn
ed its caudal appendage away from
our globe. From observatories all over
the world came dispatches to the effect
that the tail of the comet, which was
scheduled to pass with the comet across
the path Of the earth and to envelop
us in its gaseous matter, had SO curved
as to delay the time of contact.
The fact that the earth did not pass
through the tail of the comet at the
time calculated by the scientists is one
Of the greatest blows modern astro-
nomical science ever has received. AS
tronomers everywhere accepted Nthe
computations of independent calculat-
.ors, who estimated that the earth
would be in the. center of the comets
tail between S:37 and 9:37 o'clock
Wednesday night, and the failure of
the phenomenon to occur has complete
ly upset the most of their ideas about
the comet.
Prof. Edwin B. Frost Of the Yerkes
observatory, Prof E. E. Barnard and
Prof. S. A. Mitchell of Columbia Uni
versity, after an all-night vigil of the
comets tail in the eastern sky, de-
clared that they could not explain the
reason for the temperance Of the
comets tail in the east. although they
offered possible hypothesis. At the
Transvaal observatory, in South AT

out the statement that he believed
the earth would not pass through the

Latest ON Cost Of Living.

A committee appointed by the Mas
sachusetts Legislature to investigate
high prices has made 700-page re-
port, containing elaborate schedules of
prices Of various commodities over a
period of years. It declares the pri-
mary cause of price advance to be the
increase In gold supply. but thinks the
fact that prices have fallen and risen
without relation to change in dutiesand
and have risen In England under free
trade shows that the tariff has not
been the active factor in the recent up
ward movement of prices in this copn-
try. Nor does 1t attribute the rise to
the growth Of the trusts, as 1t finds
prices have advanced in countries where
trusts have not developed on the Amer
lean scale. Finally, it is unable to
place the price increase to organized
labor because only 10 per cent of the
workers are organized, and because in
creased wages have come at slower
pace than the rise in the price in COM
modities. It does think, however. that
combination does enable group Of
producers to take advantage Of condi-
tons to maintain high price level
and ito prevent the public from shar-
ing in the gains through improvements
and economies"

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

Minnesota produces 100000 bush
els of corn a year, the yield per acre
exceeding that of Iowa.
One SQUAD raiser at Morristown, N.
j.. last year sold $4,000 worth of these
birds. Most of them went to the big
hotels and restaurants of New York
and to supply the great steamship
lines.
Canada's total trade for the fiscal
year ending March 81. reached the rec

Senators Down Burton Amendment
for One Ship and Pass Naval Bill.
The Senate has passed a new naval
appropriation bill authorizing two
new .battleships of the Dreadnought
type by a vote of IS to 80, defeating
an amendment offered by Mr.. Burton
to authorize only one battleship. The
bill carries an appropriation Of 1884,
100000.
During the debate, which was con-
fined almost exclusively to the battle
ship question, two important amend
ments were adopted. One Of them, Of
fered by Senator Johnston, appropri-
ates $450,00O for the purchase of tor
pedo boats whose yitals are below the
normal load line;" the other, by SEN
ator Jones, eliminates railroad, county
and municipal bonds from the securl-
ties which may be deposited by con.
tractors. The naval increase for tho
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, pro-
vided by the bill, is as follows:

not exceeding s6,OO0,OOO each, and
when equipped with armor and arma-
