and from this cause most valuable
export trade is threatened with heavy
loss to American shippers.
SO completely are the insects kept
under control at Orchard Farm that
it's fruit enters the German ports with
out difficulty. The apples are careful
ly selected and wrapped in paper, each
specimen being perfect, and packed in
fOrty-pOund boxes, which are shipped
to foreign markets and also direct to-
New York consumers. Some of the
choice kinds of apples grown are the
King, Northern Spy, SpitZenberg,
Rhode Island Greening and Pound
Sweet, all old fashioned, long estab-
lished kinds, but of the highest quail
ty.
A variety has recently been intro
duced from England-the CoX's Or
ange Pippin. Experiments have been
carried on in the growing of this very
choice fruit which promise entire sue
cess. The apple is so highly priced
in England that consumers readily
pay p cents apiece for the fruit.
Trees of this variety are being i'm
ported from England for the purpose
of planting extensive orchards With
a view of shipping the fruit produced
from them back again to England.
The diseases of trees are carefully
studied, and they are treated as a
physician would care for a patient.
They are sprayed with tonic solutions,
one of which is Bordeaux mixture,
which is composed of four pounds of
sulphate Of copper and four pounds
of lime dissolved in fifty gallons of
water. This is sprayed over the trees
as soeff as the blossoms have fallen,
which prevents certain forms of fun
gus blights attacking the young fruit
and the foliage, and is sprayed over
the trees three or four times during
the season, with the result that the
fruit us perfect and free from blemish-
es. To prevent the injury from diff
ferent types of insects arsenical pre-
parations are sprayed with the Bor-
deauX mixture, which successfully
checks the ravages of all of the leaf
and fruit eating kinds.
The educational work is not confin-

TO PROTECT CHESAPEAKE BAY.
Army and Navy Board Recommend o Fort
In the Middle OF the Entrance.

In the Nld0le OF Jne Entrance.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-One OF the i'm
portant recommendations made by the
Joint board of army and navy officers ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt last year 70
revise the plans for coast and harbor de-
fence provides for the construction Of an
artificial island in the middle of the entrance
TO Chesapeake Bay. Since the daring
exploits in the japanese war a belief has
been prevalent that the entrance Of Chesa-
peake Bay is not so fully protected that
hostile ships could not make their way past
the Notifications Of Fort Monroe and the
other forts around the entrance of the bay.
The men of the army who planned the
present scheme of defence have always
held that any hostile ship trying to enter
the bav wo uld be forced to enter through
the main ship channel. which is amply
protected by the guns now in position.
The entrance Is Eve miles wide, however,
and the officers now think that 1t would be
possible for a ship Of medium draught to run
through the north channel out Oh reach OF
the heavy guns.
The board OF fortifcations accordingly
reached the conclusion that there should
be Notifications to cover the northern
passage as we'll as the north side Of the
main channel, and a decision was reached
that the only suitable place for a fort would
be in the middle grounds" The water is
not deep, but it would be necessary to dump
in a large amount Of stone to procure a
foundation for a fort. This method was
followed when the ripraps fort at the en-
trance of the bay was laid.
The fort would make it almost impossible
for hostile ships t enter the bay and would
afford ample protection to Washington
Baltimore, Norfolk and the private prop
erty all along the bay.

Robert Spices, SO years old, a rigger, was
found dead yesterday afternoon, sufo-
Gated by gas, at 1850 East 10th street. The
police of the East 1O4th street station house

that he only married her out Of spite.
The woman told some Of her friends that

that she was afraid Of him, and she refused
to go to his home in 10th street. He made
q final appeal to her on Tuesday and when
