To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of Saturday. November u,
there is an account of problem, which is
4, 5, g. T. and Q, by addition, in such a
way as to make them add up 100" The
problem as stated is impossible Of solu-
ticn, being contrary to fundamental prin-
ciple of our system of notation. For when
ever a column Of figures Is added. the sum
of the digits in the column, the mines and
multiples of mines being dropped, leaves a
remainder which equals the remainder
after adding the digits in the total and
casting out the mines. The total of the nine
digits in the problem Is 45; casting out the
mines by division or by again adding the
digits. leaves remainder Of 0. so that any
ali are added together must give total
the digits of which added and the mines
cast out leave a remainder of 0. So 1t
will be found easy to arrange them to make
n total of A, "A. 3d. H. ST. 10 or 90. But to
make total of 100 there must be some
evasion of the requirements Of the prob
lem. as by emitting from the addition digits
which will sum up g. the mines being cast
out, this leaves l as the remainder Of the
sum OF the other digits. after casting out
the mines. In this manner the problem has
been apparently solved by your correspond
cnt of Tuesday. the 2ith instant. He ar
ranges six OF the digits and adds them,
making .s; to this he adds . making 100
He has In fact used all the digits but has
not added all together. as will be seen be-
low. where. by using his own figures. IL Is
Tdditiun, several other examples OF n sim
ilar combination are also given:

Butter Materially Advanced - Other
Products Practically Unchanxed.


The feature of the local wholesale pro-
duce market today is the decided advance
in butter. it being about 2 cents a pound
higher than 1t was this day a week ago.
Fine goods are still very scarce, and there
is an increasing demand for them. Eggs
are about as last reported. and the same
is true of cheese. The unusual warm
weather is responsible for rather low
prices in poultry and game, and vegetables
and fruits show only the slight changes
noted from week to week. The weather
seems to have effect upon beef and other
meats, although 1t has restricted the ship
ment of pork as well poultry and game.
The market Is a splendidly supplied one,
and its general tone Is firm.
Although butter has materially advanced
it is not improbable that prices viii still
further advance. Today's prices: EIgin
