CENTER OF POPULATION. la tb predictions as to the show iac which the census figures would snake there wan one virtually agreed rpnn tat the center of population "ould be shifted tome distance west' wan! from Its location In 1890, which -was nit miles southeast of Columbus, Ind.. says Toledo Blade. Hut this pre 4fltctlon was one of the kind which oe wrong. The emeus people hive tentatively announced that the mark ill have to be moved but slightly. The west has flourished tremendous ly la ten years. It has giilned not only new railroads, but the old rail Toads have been renewed. Irrigation fcaa roused new lands to be cultlvateJ and new cities and towns to be build d. Such cities as Scuttle have Treated In wealth and population by the opening of new territory, the de velopment of new resources, the fill ing In of the once deserted spaces be tween town and town. Hut In these .juune ten years an Immense Immlgra tlon has been distributing Itself In the eastern cities among the coal mines Jid steol plants of Pennsylvania, In .tlie industrial dlmrlcts of Lake Erie It hits offset the settlement of the far went. Fn forcing health regulations against Ignorance and prejudice frequently Is accompanied by difficulties. Cholera prevail In parts cf Italy, and the of Jicinhi have take:; wise precautious against the spread of the disease. And one result has been a riot, accom panied by the wrecking of the health office In the town of Rarletta. Of rourse the rioters are taking the pre else course that opens the way for In vasion by the deadly ailment. This Is as pro of enlightenment, but there re regions where there has been lit tle advancement In ideas since tho time when plagues swept away vic tims by wholesale because there was not sufficient knowledge to ward off the danger. Those who have been able to hold back their vacations until now are to be congratulated. October Is one of the finest months of the year for va cations, as any one who has been for tunate enough to have two weeks free t this time will tell you. The coun try lies before you. Thero Is no bet ter exercise than walking. Nature, la the full beauty of her late summer foliage. Is at her best, and the crisp air of the approaching fall is notice able mornings. Soon It will be on tap all day. Why not keep up your open-air vacation habits all winter? The world's wheat crop this year is estimated at a little under 3,500,000, 1M0 biiHhels, which will make It, with one exception, the largest ever gath ered. The largest wheat crop ever gathered was that of last year, which -was approximately 150,000,000 bushels more than the estimate of 1910. Morf Than half of the shortage Is figured in the crop of the United States. At though here as in Russia the crop lb jthirter than last year, the reserve ol aid heat held over from the prevl out year Is larger In both countrlet than It was In 1909. Tlie Vnlted States government hat ordered another large Installment of -tb rifle "silencers,"' by which the aolse of firing la done away with. Ex ppiinicnts are also under way with -similar silencers for cannon. It may yet come to pass that the noise ol battle will consist mainly of the "shouting and the tumult" that were la order before the days of gunpowder. Firearms as playthings are not en tirely justified of wisdom, as proved in the case of a twelve-year-old Buf falo boy who received a gift of a rifle from his father and a few min utes later shot and killed his mother Of course. It wr s an accident, and verybody concerned Is very sorry tut the moral Is that, given every possible opportunity and Invitation, accidents will happen. The explcurean world Is still wait 1ng for developments In the project to provide meat from hippopotami fed on water hyacinth. It sounds better than .terrapin. Woman steals silk stockings and pleads that she did It "to feed her children." The science of Infant die tetfea U making great strides, theis stay. Seeing that Uhlan has trotted lulls la leas than two minutes, with out the aid of a wind-shield or other -aasUtanea of any kind, Is It not time to begin talking bout the mlnute-and-mrhtM trotter?

THE PROCEEDINGS ARE KEPI SECRE1 First General Meeting of the Amcrl can Iron and Steel Institute Is Held In New York Iron and Steel Manufacturers From Many Parts of tlio World Are In Attendance Plan To Control the Markets ol the World. New York (Special). Iron mak ers from many parts of the world met at the Waldorf-Astoria here, In attendance at the first general meet ing of the American Iron and Steel Institute. No such gathering of steel makers has ever taken place before In this country, and from It results may flow which will revolutionize that gigantic Industry In some of Its Important branches. The American Iron and Steel In stitute Is a new departure, Inasmuch as its aim is to deal cot only with the technical part of the Industry, but to take up Its commercial side as well, and hence Invade the domain of prices so Important to the world at large. Other organizations, notably the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Brit ain, have existed for the exchange of views regarding the technical side of steel making and have held many Im portant meetings, but the meeting to day was probably the most important step yet taken toward securing what for a long time has been under dis cussion, namely a world-wide corpora tion among the makers of steel and Iron for mutual protection In the markets of the world In the matter of productions and prices. The movement looking to such a thing has been going on quietly tor sometime. Prominent among those who have been trying to bring it about are Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, but associated with him in these efforts have been representatives of many of the so called Independents and the foreign steel makers. Already several meetings of the new Institute have been held, but It. was not until the meeting of todav that the American Iron masters rub bed shoulders with many of the great Iron niaB'.ers of such countries a Great Britain, France and Germany in the uw movement to secure co operation. Cniei auijcc these for eign steel makers, perbai, Baron Von Bodenhausen, managing director of the great Krupp works at Essen. Colonel Sir Charles Allen, s nephew of Sir Henry Bessemer ana president of Henry Bessemer & Com pany, of Sheffield, England, was an other. All told, there were thirty eight of the foreign steel makers present, representatives of practical ly all big foreign steel works. STUDY PANAMA'S NEEDS.

Beverly (Special) President Taft finally approved plans for raising the wreck of the battleship Maine from Havana Harbor, which calls for the completion of the work on or before the thirteenth anniversary of the de struction of the war vessel, Febru ary 15 next. The work la to be done according to plans made by army engineers and to be under direction of an engineer officer. The President believes that the paramount question in the raising of the Maine is the determining for all time of the cause of the explosion, and whether the source of destruc tion was from the outside or inside the vessel. For this reason he de sires that the work shall be retained In the hands of the army engineers and not let out by contract. By direction of the President, Spain has been invited to send a representative to Havana to be pres ent during the work of exposing and removing the wreck. The disposition of the old hulk re mains to be settled. The army engi neers believe it will be possible to float the after two-thirds of the ves sel. The forward third, where the explosion wrought the greatest havoc and killed the greatest number of the crew while they were asleep In their quarters, Is believed to be too tar gone ever to be taken as a whole and the wreckage will be removed piecemeal. If Congress approves the recom mendation of the engineers, the wreck will be taken out to sea and given a ceremonial burial In deep water, there to remain until the end of time. Various plans have been sug gested of exhibiting the wreck and preserving It, hut none of these finds favor with the authorities at Wash ington. ' The wreck is now In 25 feet of water. It has sunk but one foot in the 12 years since it went down. Underneath the wreck soft mud has been found to a depth of five to eight feet, and beneath this there is hard clay. Congress has already appro priated $300,000 for the work. RAILROADS ' ARE PROSTRATED The Fren h Premier Calls Strike An Insurrection. Paris (Special).

The governor said: "Alaska Is entirely capable of sup porting a large permanent popula tion, but more liberal treatment by the Federal government Is necessary to the development of the territory.

A FINAL GOOD-BY FROM WELLMAN Messages Picked Vj By the Wlrelesi Station At Siasconsett, Mass., ami Conveyed To the Wife and Friendi Of the Expedition Leader Still Cut Off From View By the Fog Next Messages Likely To Bo Re ceived From Sable Island. Mak ing An Average Progress of II Miles An Hour. Siasconsett, Mass. (Special). Somewhere east of Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts and approximately 300 miles from At lantic City, the starting point, Waltei Wellman's airship America, signalled a wireless "all's well" and a good-bj at 12.45 o'clock Sunday afternoon and swung on up the coast through the fog. This message, the last ol the day's wireless conversations, wai received here by A. H. Glnman, the Marconi operator, who had been on the alert since dawn. At 9 o'clock A. M. Siasconsett first came In touch Vith the giant dirig ible. Then, although the wireless range of the craft is comparatively short, owing to necessarily limited power and attenae, the station wai surprised to hear its call, "M. S. C." clear and strong followed b "W," the code signature of the air ship. Judging from the strength ol the signals, It was assumed that tho America was In close proximity to Nantucket, and immediately all the life-saving stations and lighthouse on the Island were notified by tele phone to keep a sharp lookout. But the fog, which had enshrouded the America since her departure, still hung over the ocean, shutting off the view. The Marconi station, however began a rapid-fire of Interrogation! and learned from Jack Irwin, th America's operator, that the ship'i motors had been stepped and that the dirigible was heading east-northeast and making 25 miles an houi with the wind. Nantucket's excite ment was acute, but with motori Idle the airship sailed along as si lently as a phantom In the sky, where ordinarily the engine's exhausti would have reverberated along the coast. However, the electric voice of tin Marconi station filled in at timet what the eye and ear were denied and Intermittently the operators here exchanged greeting with their late associate, who, it will be recalled, re ceived at this station the dramatic "C. Q. D." from the ill-fated steam shi Republic. From that time on the signals from the airship grew steadily weak er until finally at 12.45 a message was flashed from here asking if everything aboard was O. K. Faint ly came the reply "Yes." then fainter still the two letters "G. B.," good by. Unable to take observations in the fog, the America's exact position re mained unknown throughout the day as has been the case since she set sail. Her course, however, has been along 'the steamship lines and as no word to the contrary, has been re ceived the assumption is that Mr Wellman, with 60 days' fuel and 60 days' provisions aboard, is adhering to his plan of crossing the Atlantic and landing on the British Isles. It Is likely that no further wirelpss word from the airship will be receiv ed here. When last heard from during the, day 12.45 P. M. the America had been in the air Just 18 minutes less than 29 hours, and having covered approximately 1 300 miles, must have averaged In forward progress be tween 10 and 11 miles an hour. Al this rate the craft would not past Sable Island, 450 miles distant from Nantucket, until. 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, and Cane Race, 3R0 mlle farther, 7 o'clock Wednesday even ing. x Boston (Special). "The outlook is not so favorable, but we are keep ing up the fight," was one of the messages sent by Walter Wellman from the dlfiglble balloon America and picked up by wireless Sunday The message was sent while the America's operator was in communi cation with the Siasconsett station. COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of Trade and Market Ronnrla R. O. Dun ft Co.'s Weekly Revle of Trade says: "Tho Industrial and mercantlls outlook Is better than statistics of to tual transactions Indicate. Business sentimefit is always prone to outran current trade, and there are certain, evidences of a more encouraging vie of the business position Just at th time when the records show that th trade recession which has been g progress since the first quarter of th year Is pronounced.
