While 1t Is Ecnersiiy claimed that the crop may not be over TO- 75o.oo0 it is also necessary that opinions as to consumption must be confirmed by figures to make the statistical aituation a strong one Our Liverpol friends cable that they think advance premature on the marketing of crop. especially as politics is threatening and finances disturbed by the Eastern difficulty and as much of the recent buying has been on speculation, any declining tendency will cause 1t to be thrown on the market. Notwithstand- ing these various views. the fact remains that sentiment is very bullish: consequently. should killing frost materialize shortly or should the good demand for spots continue, with receipts running on a moderate scale, the chances are that prices will be firmly held

Horace Fletcher, Scientific Gastrono

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Horace
Fletcher, scientific epicure and globe
trotter, ate his Christmas dinner al
the Waldorf where he has
been staying for the last week. Mr.
Fletcher has given the famous hoteI
more worry than all of the other guests
put together. as the science of gastron-
omy that teaches hotel guests to live
on less than a dollar a day is hardly
to the liking of Mr.. Bbldt, the proprie-
tor.
Mr.. Fletcher had a guest at both his
breakfast and dinner. A reporter was
invited to spend the day in scientific
apicureanism. When the scientist got
the check for the two breakfasts he
showed it to the reporter with pardon
able dire. 1t called for the payment
Of 40 cents, or Mr.. Fletcher's autogra oh
on the back of it. Mr.. Boldt got the
latter. Here is what was ordered for
the two breakfasts:
Six little cubes of corn bread tina,

ments of boys Christmas in the way
Of blocks for building purposes: two
glasses of hot milk that had beer
stained a coffee color, and a liberal
allowance of sugar for the milk
The breakfast was served in the
palm room at Il o'clock by an unu-
sually attentive waiter. The reason
for the marked attentions of the waiter
became apparent when Mr.. Fletcher
tipped" him a half dollar. or just q
per cent more than the breakfast cost
The scientist. explained that he had al
ways been a liberal Upper. because il
his travels over the world he haC
found is necessary. He said his tips
invariably cost him more than his
meals.

LAKES MENACE WINDY CITY
Harvard Professor Says Chicago May
be Submerged In Short Time.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 3O-Pro-
ressor William r. Davis of the geolO-
3ical department Of Harvard, who has
peen studying the geology of the great
! axe region especially about Niagara
Falls, has reached the conclusion that
f the present tendencies continue, in
time most of Chicago will be sub
merged.
Professor Davis began a lecture in
he university museum with n descrip
ton OF the gorge heWed out by the
Niagara cataract, and then gave an
account of the early character Of the
great lake region. of the. successive ad-
vances and retreats of the Lauren
tide ice sheets and of the gradual evO-
luton of the great lakes in their pres
ant form and with their present sys-
