that five states In which the road op-
crates have enacted two cent rate
laws, and other laws have reduced

Much discussion has been caused by

New SkyscraPer Limit.
In the opinion Of Ernest Flagg. archi
tect Of the new Singer building at New
York. the tower of which is the highest
building in the world for occupation,
| the probable limit of height for these
buildings in New York city will be
1000 feet, with tower 100. feet
square, or nearly 400 feet higher than
the Singer building. Differing with
the president Of the New York fire I'M
derwriters, who recently warned the
! public that there was danger of a
great confa grafton in the upper stories
Of the tall buildings beyond, the reach
Of existing fire fighting apparatus. Mr.,
Flagg says that the only limit is
financial practicability. He insists that
buildings of the type Of the Singer are
the safest as regards a roof top con-
fagration because Of the space about
the tower. which occupies only one
sixth oe the lot space. Were all the
skyscrapers constructed with the same
proportion Of space around the upper
stories. he argues. the danger Of de-
structive fire in that upper region
would be reduced to minimum. An
other point of limitation to which Mr..
Flagg calls attention is the elevator
service. He says one haul elevators
can be constructed to cover 1000 feet
but beyond that probably cannot be
made effective Those in the Singer
building are of new type, known as
traction elevators. with the weight at
the bottom and the motor at the top.
They will make the forty story trip in

Many Trees In Small Space.
In the Garden Magazine for October
B. T. Barnes advances the opinion that
the rapid spread Of the San Jose scale
and other tree enemies will bring
about the adoption of dwarf varieties
for the production Of fruits. especially
by the amateur fruit grower. The rea-
sons he gives for this are the greater
ease with which small trees may be
treated with sprays for protection from
enemies that feed upon the foliage and
bark and the possibility of raising
these trees in small yards. the earli-
ness with which they come into bear
ing and the scantiness Of their shade.
