SEEKS LOST TITLE
SINGER BUILDING is TARGET
Charged That New York Skyscraper
Projects Fifteen Inches Over
Building Line.

New YOrk.-The department Of pub
lie works of New York city has com
pIeted a series Of surveys which it de-
clares show that the Liberty street
side of the big Singer building pro
Jects fifteen inches beyond the build
ing line. In few days formal legal
notice will be served upon the owners
that they must pare down the building
or the city will do it for them.
The owners declare that no altera-
tons will be made until after active
litigation. Their answer to the formal
notice will be an injunction suit in
which street locations, sidewalks
locations, official surveys, ordinances
and laws beginning around 1887 and
running down to date will be chal-
Ienged
Action to be taken against the
Singer building will be the most eX-
tensive yet undertaken in the cam
paign of the city to recover its side
walks. If the city should win and
compel the company to move it's build
ing back sheer foot and three inches,
the cost of the job would run into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Early incubation.

It IS interesting to examine young
alfalfa plants and note how quickly
they obtain the benefit of nitrogen
gathering bacteria. Plants less than
four weeks old may have two or three
NOdules on single root and have a
countless number of bacteria furnish
ing nitrogen from the air. When land
is first inoculated by the use of soil
from an old field one may find much
unevenness in the size Of plants at
an early agc. due to the fact this. the
taller plants are getting an abun-
dance Of nitrogen while the smaller
plants have few or no bacteria at
work for them. 1t is for this reason
that a second seeding on land that has
been made TO grow alfalfa successfully
is much surer than s first seeding.
