New York, August 0.-Magistrate
Corrigan is expected to announce
decision tomorrow in the case of
Frank Zotti, the Croatian banker and
steamship man, who was recently tried
on a charge of grand larceny. Zotu
claims to be the victim of conspiracy
to ruin his business, and named j. P.
Morgan as one of the conspirators. No
defense was made at the trial, attor-
neys for Zotti claiming that the prose-
cution failed to prove its case. If
Zotti is acquitted, it is alleged that
the conspiracy" charge will be laid
before the grand jury.
At the previous hearing Zotti had
said that there was a conspiracy to

BUD DEVELOPMENT.
Results of Observations of Various Va
rieties of Fruit Trees.

The age at which bud begins to de-
velop its floral organs is governed
somewhat by the variety, species and
condition of the tree. Tabulations have
been made upon several sorts by
which it is found that the peach, plum
and cherry usually require from three
to four months, while in the case Of
the apple and pear great variations IN
age occur. Some buds form floral or
gans the first year, while many wait
until the second and even third sea-
sons after formation before they bios
som. When the spurs are densely
shaded they sometimes never develop.
This semi-dormant condition of the
buds, awaiting until favorable sea-
son comes before developing is very
interesting to us, since it gives a
plausible explanation for certain trees
producing alternating crops of fruit,
first large one and then small one. A
large number of fruit buds are formed
and developed during the season the
tree bears a light crop of fruit or
when it can supply plenty of plant
food, while during the season of heavy
crop 1t is impossible for the tree
to properly feed the fruit buds and
hence a light crop is sure to follow.
On this basis apple trees may be
readily grouped into two classes
these that possess the characteristics
of forming annual flower buds and
those that require more than one
year to develop.

perhaps more strength than these con-

That the foundations of large city
are elastic after fashion was proven
by notable instance which came to
the attention of the Chicago building
commission and the police few years
ago. salvage company was engaged
in tearing down a structure adjacent
to the Women's Temple. Suddenly
one morning when most of the debris
from the wrecked structure had been
carted away the occupants OF offices
in the Women's Temple felt the edi-
flee sag to the south-in the direction
of the site of the wrecked building.
The entire structure on the south
side wrinkled in spots. Cracks, some
of them two inches wide, opened, caus-
ing the belief that a disaster was i'm
minent. Such was not the case, how
flee was erected on the site of the old
building the Women's Temple resumed
its natural posture.
Experts who were put to work upon
the incident in the interest of science
determined that the stratum Of bedrock,
being elastic, had recoiled from the
strain which the wrecked building put
upon it, therefore causing a movement
of the foundations of the Temple.
When the newly erected buildings
weight was put upon the site OF the
old structure normal conditions were
resumed once more - -

to rest additional weight upon the
foundations of the city, for that is
what the strata is-a foundation.
In the crowded portions of Greater
New York the largest lot is about 200
feet square, that being probably the
biggest plot of precious ground OBJ
tainable in the downtown district of
Gotham. Placing a building 1000
feet high upon this piece of Mother
Earth, the cost would be in the neigh
borhood of $6O,0OO,0O0. 1t would
weigh $4,000 tons, according to esti-
mates which have been furnished the
New York board of aldermen by some
of the greatest engineering experts in
the world.
The tonnage of the American navy
is about 250,000 tons. Hence you
might place two navles the size of the
one possessed by America on top Of
200-foot plot of ground and the
weight would be the same as that of
a 200-foot building. The strain on
the earths crust is terrible one.

1t pays to raise good fruit.
Cultivation among bush fruits should
not be continued later than about the
middle of this month.
The longest keeping fruits are the
most profitable, except in locations
where all marketing facilities are OF

Continue to cultivate the strawberry
bed. Keep out all weeds and cut OF
all surplus runners. The care given
the patch now determines next sea-
sons crop.

with fruit unless It is given some ar
tificial support. If the shoots are
nipped at the proper time they will
develop into strong, stocky canes, well
supplied with strong laterals, and
holding up the fruit without support.
1 stop the young growths of goose
berries and currants at height of 15
to 18 inches. The new canes are not
all produced at the same time, and
some do not develop as rapidly as
others, thus making several trips nee
essary before all of the new wood is
pinched.
After harvesting the fruit cut and
burn old blackberry, raspberry, cur.
rant and gooseberry canes, and from
raspberry and blackberry plants l re-
move all wood older than the present
seasons growth, and also new canes
that are weak and crowding. Leave
six or eight canes per plant of red
raspberries and blackberries, but few

berries, since these naturally make

remove all canes over three years old
and allow a new shoot to take the
place of each old cane removed. After
pruning a bush consists of six to ten
canes of all ages, from one to four
years, and there is approximately an
equal number of canes of each age.
In addition, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, to cutting out old
canes and .superfiuous young shoots,
the young wood on the old canes that
are left is thinned out and shortened
to eight to twelve inches. For cutting
out of canes use a pair of two-hand
pruning shears, which are shown in
the sketch. The handles of the shears
are about 31a feet long, and the hook
is used for pulling old canes out of
the row.

which will prevent any such ideas be-
ing made of practical use. Desire for
their own safety caused Gotham city
fathers to squelch the plan and it is
considered probable that the tallest
building which New York will ever
see will not be more than 1000 feet in
height, and perhaps limit of 1000
feet may be put upon the height of
these gigantic monuments to modern
industry.
When you stop to consider the whole
proposition the truth begins to dawn.
An edifice of 1000 feet possesses
weight of $4,000 tons, and therefore
a structure a mile tall would weigh
100000 tons, and under this terrible
strain Manhattan would collapse,
scientists tell us.
There have been no architectural
plans which will so shift the weight
OF any building that the strain upon
the strata when erected to the height
OF one mile will allow IL to stand In
the first-conceiyed position without
shifting. Therefore the reasons for
rot haYlng one'm!le high structure

sure. For that reason the aldermen
clamped the ban on buildings mile
high.
Then the wind pressure upon large
buildings must be taken into consider
alton by the corps of experts engaged
in operations in New York.
On a building 1000 feet high the
wind pressure on each wall is 5000
tons, which on four walls adds $4,000
tons, and including the roof pressure
there is 10000 tons added weight,
which increases the total number of
tons on the whole structure to $4,000
tons. This is an enormous weight,
ordinary human mind which does not
have to deal with such monstrous pro.
positions.
The monstrosity of the entire propo-
sition is made almost impossible by
the physical limitations of the earth,
strata and general texture of the coun-
try in the neighborhood of New York.
For that reason experts have figured
by complicated processes that the big
gest building which New York will
construct in the future will not be
over 1000 feet In height.
The work of devising engineering
schemes which will lessen the fearful
weight exerted upon the earth's crust
is now the object of the biggest work
ers In this line. and millions of dollars
would be paid the man or firm that
could bring forth some contrivance or
new material to lessen the strain.
