HELPFUL HINTS FOR BERRY GROWERS.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR BERRY GROWERS.
In setting out new beds of raspberries
or blackberries cut back the canes to
about six inches above the surface of the
soil. Throw all the strength in the plant
and get good sturdy cane this season
for next years fruiting. Plant as early
in the season as possible, while plants
are dormant.
When setting Strawberries in spring
cut back the roots one-third with sharp
knife; this starts new fibrous growth
quickly. Let the soil be rich and
deep.
When strawberry plants are received
and it is not convenient to plant at once,
let them remain in their packing of moss
ont under tree or shady place in the
light.
Current cuttings ought to be set so
that the top bud of the cutting is on a
level with the surface ofthe ground.
Prune bearing currant bushes, cutting
back last years growth. The fruit is
borne on wood of two years old and
more, and the cutting back develops the
lower buds and causes larger fruit. Re-
move all old, unproductve wood and
thin out so AS to admit light and air
freely into the centre of the bush. -

EARTHQUAKE FREAKS.
An Interesting Paper on the Subject
Read Yesterday.

An Interesting Paper on the Subject
Read Yesterday.
There was fair attendance at the week
ly meeting Of members of the California
Academy of Sciences held in the main hall
of the society's building on Market street
yesterday evening. The chair was occu-
pied by Professor Hardness, and J. r.
Scupham was at the secretary's table.
Hardness introduced 5. w. Holiday,
who read an interesting paper on the sub
iect Of earthquake freaks.
The reader related his experiences, and
gave the results of his Investigations made
after the two earthquakes which occurred
on the 10TH and 21st of April last.
Mr. Holiday was at the time visiting
friends on ranch In SolaDO County, ana
shortly alter the shakes visited the Towns
OF Winters and Nacaville. where lie made
a careful examination of the damage done.
tie examined particularly any peculiarities
resulting from the shock, and carefully
noted them. He discussed at length the
relative stability Of stone. brick ana frame
houses 10 Withstand an earthquake, stating
that he had found house built entirely
oil stone, the walls OF which were
~. ieet IN thickness, which had been to-
taily wrecked, while wooden structure in
the vicinity had escaped serious damage.
In the majority of eases il was found that
most damage to buildings was sustained in
the eastern and western walls, while in one
case the erratc trembler had entirely
turned round the upper part of a BRICK
chimney from east TO west. On another
occasion large bookcase had been inverted
and stood on its head without being other
wise damaged, and the frame Of a
large mirror had been badly cracked while
the glass remained intact, which to the
reader seemed inexplicable. In many cases
objects placed against walls had been moved
several inches by the vibrations.
buildings built Of the best quality OF brick
and mortar were found 10 be too rigid to
Withstand the shocks, aud were usually
badly wrecked. The town eaIaboose at
Winters, which was tuilt entirely OF cement
and brick, looked as il 1t had crumbled to
pieces, while the bricks in the wreck pre-
sented clean surface, with no mortar ad-
herring 10 them as would be expected.
In The Winters cemetery |, was found that
most oil the monuments Frustrated had
fallen toward the west and that In cases
where there were three base stones the
middle one had been turned at angles, while
those above and below retained their origi-
nal position; also that of two wooden posts,
one had been broken, falling toward the
east, while the other fell toward the west,
although there Was but a few feet between
them. number Of otL er cases depicting
the unaccountahle actions of the quake
we're cited, after which Dir. Charles w.
Keller refd his paper, entitled ~ Trip 10
the Farralon Islands," in which he gave his
experiences, when the meeting adjourned.

COUNCIL MEETING.
At the meeting of the City Council last
night the application of j. l.. Davie and
Others and of Wrlles Whitmore and /. X.
Aisip for street railway franchises were
each referred to the judiciary Committee.
The memorial TO the Council adopted by
the recent citizens mass-meeting regarding
the Eagsan application for a lease FROM the
city OF front lands was read and re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
The bond election printing bills were or
dered paid.
An ordinance providing for the purchase
OF additional school lots, as designated by
the Board OF Education. was read for the
second time aud passed To print.
The above ordinance was to buy lot
near the Cole School. Another ordinance
to purchase pronerty In the Ihlrd
Ward for $4,000 was referred back To the
Board of Education, with recommendations
that bids be invited.
The boulevard problem bobbed up in an
wholly uneXpec ed manner. Deputy
District Attorney Church presented the
drafts of three ordinances for its COM
petinn; one provided for an appropriation
of $4,000 another for 500 500, and the third
for $4,000. The proposition to issue
bonds was passed and determined upon by
the freehOlders," said he, but the law pro-
vlded that the expenses may be paid by
either the issuance OF bonds or by special
annual tax.
I'm 1890 deeds Of dedication to boulevard
land were made to the city providing that
the boulevard should be completed within
six years from the time of dedication. My
purpose in calling a tention to this is that
the city should take steps 10 carry out its
contract, that 1t may hold the property
deeded. Otherwise 1t may revert TO the
original owners. Action should be taken,
and present these ordinances to facilitate
matters in lime."
The ordinances were read and referred to
the judiciary Committee.

The Mythical Undine.

The story reprinted from the Hong Kong
Gazette TO the effect that the captain. super
cargo and five men of the schooner Undne
had been murdered by the mate and the
mates brother, who boarded the vessel at
Honolulu, finds little credence on the city
front. The schooner Undine Is said to be
owned by A. Crawford u Co. of this port,
but tie vessel OF that name was wrecked
several years ago. The register of Pacific
Coast vessels makes mention of tiny 10
ton yacht called the UDdine. But the proba-
bility is that the story refers to Tahilian
yacht OF 90 tons which was mysteriously
cut OUT 10y unknown parties, and. at last
reports. seized by the French authorities.
IL is alleged that the Undine was seized in
the Caroline Group. which lends strong
confirmation 10 the idea that the Tahitian
yacht Niualoaiti and the mythical Undlne
are the same vessel
