him, no figures were obtained as To

The Goudeau Estate, which has the

landowners troubles BY renting a por-

q native Of St. John parish, who IS
one Of the leading praeticing Dhysi

years. Dr.. Strange leased some $50
acres from the Goudeaus last season,
and was SO fortunate as to get a num-
Der Of families Of Italians as subten-
ants, each family growing 10 acres
cane and about an equal area Of corn.
These tenants, who were about to
leave the parish the fall sof 1908
on account Of their failure with cot
ton that season, were persuaded By
Dr.. Strange that they could do well
by raising cane, and with the industry
characteristic of the ability their ma

Of more land this year, the plan being
for each family to grow 20 acres cane

The tenants working for Dr. Strange
had $50 acres of cane last year, all
planted during the months from 0cto-
Der to March, using seed received
from plantations in the vicinity Of

computation, and was made by
Prot A. o. Luesehner, astrono-
mer at the University OF Cali

Because observatories located

in America the photographs and
observations taken along the Pa
cific coast are regarded by scien.
lists as the most accurate data for
final computation OF the comets
passage For this reason Prof
Lueschner was asked 10 compute
the time of the passage of the
comet across the face Of the sun
and passage OF the earth through
the comets tail. These figures are
sent out by the United Press today
by Prof A. O. Luoschner:
The comet will be in transit

THE transit. theoretically, may
be observable from points only in
the Pacific ocean although Il is
doubtful If astronomers of the
Orient will be able TO discern the
transit.
THE earth win enter the tail OF
the comet tonight az 3 y. m. and
viii emerge at II p. m, passing
through at the rate of 80 miles a

IT therefore may be seen that

Official data issued here today set
forth the following facts concern
ing Halley's comet.
The earth enters the comets tail
al 1920 O'Clock tonight. Eastern
time.
The estimated thickness of tho
tail at the point OF interception by
the earth is 100000 miles.
The length of the tail is esti-
mated at 2O.000,000 miles
The distance between the earth
and the head cf the comet is com
puted 20 be 100000 miles.
An illumination OF the western
sky is predicted, with a possible
meteoric display.
In addition 10 the foregoing state
mont Prof Leuschner issued a bull
letin, excerpts OF which follow:
Nearer TO Earth Tomorrow.
"The closest approach Of the COM
It TO Venus took place on May 2.
The closest approach 10 the earth
will occur probably tomorrow. ow-
ing 10 the very rapid apparent mo-
ton OF the comet at the present
time, IL was necessary to test the
computed position 81 the comet by
observation secured as close to the
transit across the sun as possible.
The final position required for this
purpose was secured yesterday
morning at the Lick observatory by
Astronomer Aitken on the basis
Of this observation a final correction
was applied TO the adopted time OF
perihelion passage and TO pert
hclion distance The main result
OF the calculation is that the predic-
tion of "a transit Is fully verified"
The bulletin then referred 10 the
time Of transit and of entry by the
earth into the tail Of the comet as
given previously by Prof Leusch-
ner The bulletin then says the
comet will not be nearest 20 the
earth az the time OF transit. but the
closest approach will occur day
or two later. Tho exact instant is
now under computation"
