BIGGEST HOAT AFLOAT
ON IXLAXD WATERS.
The Commercial National bank of
Chicago, In its annual crop and conr
rnerclal review for 1908, reviews the
Condition and probable yield of the
Wheat crop for this year as follows:
We submit the following as a sum
mary of the reports from over four
thousand correspondents, touching
crop conditions:
Serious discrepancies exist this year
between the government's wheat crop
expectancy and the figures arrived at
by our correspondents In the grain
states and those reached by the most
authoritative" private estimators.
The government's figures for Au
gust first indicated yields as follows:
Winter wheat, 426.000,000, against an
Official yield In 1907 of 409,442,000;
tprlng wheat, 246,000,000, against
the 1907 final of 224.645.000; or a to
tal Indicated wheat crop of nearly
672. 000. ono. against about 634.000.-
000 last year.
Our own percentages, using the
government's indicated yield Is at
least 20.nno.000 bushels too high for
pring wheat and about 40.000,000 too
high for winter wheat. Since August
1 the spring wheat crop suffered ex
treme drought and fungus damage In
the northwest; and the bureau esti
mate of winter wheat production does
not take Into account acreage aban
doned or otherwise lost from the harvest.
The Illinois yield as officially re
ported by state authorities reaches thpa(, otw.rt,hln
The Blue Rook, Issued by the Bal
tlmore & Ohio railroad, says of "The
Commonwealth " the hire-put notim. !
ger boat afloat on Inland waters any
where In the world;
Commonwealth Is the name of the
magnificent new steamer of the Fall
River line, plying between New York
and Boston.
This splendid vessel excells In size,
speed and magnificence of construc
tion and equipment any vessel here
tofore built for service on Inland
waters. Her length over all Is 456
feet, breadth of hull 55 feet, depth of
hull 22 feet, breadth over guards 96
feet. She Is provided with sleeping
accommodations for 2000 persons.
The Fall River line has long been
popular with the tourist, combining
a delightful water route with that of
rail between the two cities mentioned.
For this class of business experience
has proven that the broad beam of
the side-wheel steamer Insures stead
iness, and the unpleasant vibration Is
overcome, assuring passengers a' com
fortable voyage In rolling seas.
The Commonwealth is built of steel !
with a registered speed of 22 miles j
an hour. Extra precaution has been '
taken in regard to safety. Seven bulk.
heads extend to the main dock, and
a double hull and the space between
the bottoms is divided into water
tight compartments. These are col
lision bulkheads at each side of the
.steamer at the guards, and a bulk-
nardly 20, ono, 000 against a govern.
ment Indication of 30,212.000. Good
opinion in the trade Is that the bu
reau figures ignore loss by floods In
Indiana. Texas, Kansas, Missouri,
and Oklahoma.
It is asserted by traveling observ
ers that thousands of acres In those
regions were not cut at all and that
large areas will produce from three
to 10 bushels per acre at the thresh
er. Reports from our own souces
thrpughout the belt are exceedingly
uneven, but when tabulated without
weighting, show a total crop 24.000,
000 bushels under the August Indica
tion of the government.
Allowing for acreage abandoned and
iummlng up, we feel Justified In con
cluding that the 1908 crop of mer
chantable wheat will scarcely equal
that gathered last year.
Considering the low world's stacks
and the depleted reserves In retail
hands everywhere, with an Inevitably
strong export demand, it seems rea
sonable to expect a high level of
prices for breadstuffs throughout the
crop year.
She carries a life-saving crew and
will have one-third more life preserv
ers, life-rafts and buoys than are re
quired by the United States govern
ment regulations. Every precaution
Is taken against fire thermostat
and a watchman's clock system keep
watchful eyes over a most effective
fire-sprinkling system throughout the
vessel.
A modern electric light plant sup
plies her thousands of Incandescent
lights, as well as a powerful search
light, electrical elevators and electri
cal blowers for ventilating the cabin.

Lake Geneva, Wis., Sept. 1. Ar
rangements have been made at Yerkes
observatory today for taking the first
of a series of photographs of Halley's
comet, a celestial visitor which is now
making a tour of these parts after a
lapse of 75 years.
Exposures will be made at frequent
intervals throughout this fall and
winter and next spring, and the ob
servatory directors expect to produce
the most remarkable and accurate
photographs of a comet ever taken.
The comet has traveled through a
billion miles of space since Its last
appearance in the vicinity of the
earth and Is the most sensational
of all the hobo wanderers of the uni
verse. '
The comet will not be visible to the
naked eye. however, until well along
In 1909, and will swoop Into its peri
helion, the point of Its course closest
to the sun about May 10, 1910.
It bears the name of Edmund Hal
ly, a great English astronomer and
friend of Xewton, who observed It in
1682, studied previous records of it
and staked his reputation on the pre
diction of Its return within 75 yeads.
His prediction came true, though
Halley himself was dead. Since then
astronomers have kept close tab on
it and are now able to estimate Its
appearance within a few days.
Scientists at Yerkes observatory de
clare that there Is no possibility of
the comet coming neaf enough to the
earth to cause any damage and that
the likelihood of a collision with this
or any other comet Is practically ne
gligible, and unworthy of considera
tion by a scientific mind.
