ORANGES MAY COME HIGH.
The Florida Crop Almost Ruined by the
Cold We~ther.

The Florida Crop Almost Ruined by the
Cold Weather.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The orange crop of
florida is badly frozen. With the exoep-
tion of the Indian river country, which will
this wear produce $4,000 to So COO boxes,
there ia scarcely a section that has escaped.
The freezing between the 14th and Goth Of
this month was the worst orange of
that state ever experienced. The loss will
fall mainly on northern merchants, except
where freezing was hard enough to %injure
the trees. The crop. which WAS q large one,
had been mostly sold to merchants eithe
in eastern cities or Chicago. Upon these
will fall the loss. For this reason, and the
further one that the frozen fruit is still to
be disposed of, the ordinary fruit dsale- is
not disposed to magnify the extent of the
damage. That IL is extensive is evidenced
quietly at work all this week buying all the
California oranges available. But the
California grower has stopped selling his
crop for future delivery. and the price OF
the fruit now in the market has scored q
good advance For q month before Christ
mas all northern markets were badly over
stocked and prices were very low. This in
duoed the trade in general to leave unus-
uslly large quantities Of fruit on the trees
and devote Its attention to reducing stock
on hand. he result is shat ths stocks OF
good frRlt are small and the dealer is now
confronted with the prospect of supplying
his trade with poor Florida fruit or going
into California at high prices. The for-
aign aituation will afford no relief. A re-
cont sleet storm greatly damaged the Medi-
terranean CROP.

realize how near the fair is? Here's the
middle of March, six weeks off is the
greatest thing the world has ever seen.
The other day a travelled Partisan visit
ing the grounds was asked how the
buildings compare with those of the
Paris exposition. flo repli ed tersely:
1.-The Paris buildings were what l would
have thought the Chicago ones would
have been, and the Chicago Worlds
fair structures what one would expect
Of the Paris exposition" But I digress.
To return to clitf-dwelllngs-and 1t is
some distance both geographically and
e~thnologically. c lronologically and COM
paratively-one difficulty in presenting
a cut Of them is that to show, they must
be made to appear to stand flush with
the cliff, whereas they snuggle back
under its protection, to which fact we
owe their continued existence, for no
moisture ever reaches them and conse.
quently they do not decay.
But what of the people themselves? is
constantly being asked. By their pot
terry, weaving, implements, and especially
their weapons, it would seem certain
that they were the prehistoric ancestors
of the Toltecs and Aztecs who, when
Columbus discovered America, had
reached the highest state of barbarism
and were living in the communal cities
of what we o know as Mexico. The
city of Mexico was founded in 1926, but
it's builders had long dwelt in the land.
OF course the cliff-dwellers were very re-
mote ancestors. Archmologists do not
quite agree as to the age of the cliff
buildings I have described, some opining
50O years, and from that to 10000. AS I
say, the liff-dwellers seem to have been,
indisputably Indians, yet the many
mummies dug up which will be seen at
the Worlds Fair in all their fascinating
ghastliness, have skulls shaped more
like the white mans, and the
hair, without exception, is fine,
soft, and generally light brown, some
even blonde. Professor Fiske, in his
delightful book "The Discovery Of
America" states it his firm conviction
that the people of this continent had
not mingled with those of the other
grand divisions since the Glacial Period
which is reckoned a little matter o.
10000 years back. What does not al
this suggest? Those who expect t.
visit the Worlds Fair could scarcely d,
better, if they are hurried people, thar

An Interesting Letter From Palmer
Henderson Regarding the
Prehistoric Days
OF a Race of People Who Have
Long Since Passed to the Realms
of the Unknown.
Proof Also Advanced That They
Were Neither Cannibals
or Idolators.
A Prehistoric Race.

1t is a common thing to hear that
So-and-So possesses q vivid imagi nation,
yet my experience proves that nothing
is rarer. Imagination is the power to
create images, to conceive, to DEVISE"
The large majority of people are simply
incapable Of this; their so.called i'm.
aginations are only distorted combina-
tons of recollections, like a mental
crazy.quilt. When you attempt to de.
scribe anything, they fit together or con.
fuse ideas of what they have seen.
Though for that matter, philosophers
have said that nc one has ever really
conceived a new thing-the longer you
think upon that, the truer it seems.
For clever people, therefore, a really
amusing thing Is the attempt to depict
something entirely novel which is de-
scribed by one. The results are as di-
verse as the individuals; as far as the
east is from the west are their concep-
lions of the same thing, often. All this
was suggested by some comments
made the other evening by a number of
people over some photographs of the
strange, prehistoric abodes of the cliff
dwellers.
My article in the TRIBUNE of about a
week ago gave some facts about those
curious structures; here is a picture OF
some. Do they look any ay as you
supposed? The group selected is a very
u%nimportant one, but was chosen t.
show how every little pocket in the rock
was utilized by the swarming builders

throughout the whole cliff -dweller re-
gion, and made the most scientific in.
vestigations yet accomplished, is au-
thority for the statement that that en-
tire region was more thlckly settled in
in prehistoric times than any part of
the United States to-day outside of the
great cities. The houses shown in the
cut are probably not more than fifty feet
from the top of the cliff, but were pro-
tected by a fertilization on the opposite
side of the canon. which is here but
about 100 feet wide, the beginning of a
cut. When the houses were, as they
are often found, from 500 to $500 feet up
or down, they we're reached by most ter
rible trails where the enemy could by no
means come IN numbers; by climbing
up dizzy heights Of bare rock with only
the tiny projecting knobs of iron for
foothold; or by swinging from the
top by ropes or ladders. Traces of
the use of these last have been found,
the sandstone rock plainly worn by the
grinding ropes, or cut by the cliff-dwell-
ers in notches where the long ladders
rested. The ladders were then pulled
after them. How do we know all this?
One ladder has been found and it is most
ingeniously made. "Easy 'nough thing
to make a ladder" you say, "two poles,
some bars, nails and a hammer, there
you are" Yes, but with no nails aud no
ak for cutting the poles, and the ladder
to be used, not to hang a picture for
your wife, but to risk your life on, seal
ing q precipice? This sole ladder is seven
feet long, the sides are cedar poles,
hewed and hacked and coaxed down
with stone axes, I'd about 10 lief chew
a tree down. The bars are sections Of
smaller poles and set in loops formed by
a tough sapling% running the length of
each pole and bound down with yucca,
that omnipresept plant which the cliff.
dwellers, like the moderns, use for al.
most everything. Their ropes and
cords are almost all braided from it's
tough fiber root. A
The H. Jay Smith Exploring company
have many specimens Of this sort Of
thing in the unique exhibit at the
Worlds fair, which I, for one, intend to
make a Decline for the minute I get in.
Ohicagoans are extremely interested in
this building, even in it's unfinished
condition, and their papers are full of 1t
and the subject in general. And do you
