ExASDER WISCHELL, LID Chicago: 5. C.GriSgs CO.
DIR. Winchell has won a secure position among
men of science and his writings in the field OF his
special study have recognized value Several of
the essays in this volume, as for example those en-
tltled "Oblterated Continents" and Geological
Seasons" present in an attractive way TO the ger
era reader the results Of careful personal observa-
ton and a judicious comparison of the
theories advanced by Investigators of the first rank
In his efforts to "pOpularize science" Professor
Winchell is not betrayed into dstortng or coloring
his facts 10 make them startling, but sets them
forth temporarily, and with due regard to their
bearings and relations Readers of the more thought
fnl class will enjoy the last paper in the book, en-
titled THE Metaphysics of Science" wherein the
dependence Of science upon philosophy is dis
cussed in a broad, instructive way. 1t must be
added that DR.. WinchelPs book is diluted with
much watery matter which has neither
strength nor flavor. The insipid attempt at
irony in one essay can be forgiven, for
diguifed gentlemen who deliberately resolves

TUESDAY, Dec. 27-P ~
The movement Of -four grain and provisions from
Chicago eastward by the railroads for the week
ended last SATURDAY shows an increase OF 74lO tons
over the movement Of the preceding week. The
Cbicrgo Tribune, to which we are indebted for the
stastics printed below. accounts for the increase
in the movement az follows:
The scramble for business and the unusually low rates
hared during the past week by the Eastern lines had
,e aect of stimulating ast-bOund business somewhat
Vet the Increase I'm business In not large might
have been expected under the circumstances. The pro-
visiou rates during the week went down TO l22 cents
ner 100 pounds by all the lines, but, In spite OF this
traordnary low rate the increase IN provision ship
ments was but little In OF the week previous
Erafly the entlre gain made on grain and Hour
shipnents, although the competition on grain was rot

more and Ohio adhere to the old grain rates, but met
the rates made by other lines provisions As the two
Vanderbilt roads and the Grand Trunk have carried the
bulk the grain business during the past week, II Ia
unite that these roads have made IA low, II not
lower rates grain than provisions. Tho Pennsyl-
wanna and Baltimore and Ohio people say they do no
care 10 carry grain at such low rates, but provisions
they will make as low rates any other line. The
pennsylvania has reduced Its provision tarih 20 lZia
