PLANT TREES FOR
USE AS CROSSTIES
Pennsylvania Railroad Adds
625, 900 SapIingS to Its
Already Large Forests

In continuance OF its plans 20 provide
for ssme OF its future requirements in
timber and cross ties. the Pennsylvania
Railroad Forestry Department has Just
completed its spring forestry planting -or
this year, when total of 625,0O0 trees were
handled. These make, up to the present
time, 2,425,O00 trees which have been set
out by the Pennsylvania railroad since it
undertook tree planting upon compre-
hensive scale-this constituting the largest
forestry plan undertaken as yet by any
corporation.
Economically to prosecute tree planting
operations on a large scale has necessi-
tated the Importation Of much EuroDean
plant material, which, owing TO the degcce
of perfection to which the European soI-
esters have brought their work, and tie
cheapness of labor, can be purchased at
a much lower price than in America. This
year the Pennsylvania railroad imported
209, 900 seedlings, of which, all not large
enough to be planted in their permaue It
sites. have been set out in transplant rows
In the new forest nursery established this
year by the company at Morrisville. ! a.
In the seed beds, were sown this year
twenty-five bushels of acorns and nuss
$40 pounds of other hardwood Seeds aud
IS pounds of confer seeds. In addition,
three hundred thousand seedlings wure
permanently planted in land belonging 10
the company.
The trees which are not suitable fer
timber production are being grown fer
purposes of landscape The company has
this year begun the propagation OF orna-
mental trSes and plants for beautfying
its property. and intends to develop a large
amount of shrubbery and hedges for the
protection and ornamentation Of station
grounds and rights of way. Work will be
continued until all station grounds and
unoccupied spaces of the right OF way
are parked, that they may AFFORD as much
pleasure as possible to the public.
It is expected by the Pennsylvania Rail-
read Company that in case no substitute
for the wooden crosstie is developed dur
ing the next thirty-five or forty years,
the company will have available portion
Of the enormous supply OF timber needed
for crossties, which, at the present time,
are becoming exceedingly extensive.

STOLE RIDE TO
SEE HIS MOTHER

GEORGETOWN, Del, June 29-Al-
though he stole a ride on a freight
train in order TO reach the bedside OF
his dying mother in Philadelphia be-
fore she passed away, Aloysius Kem-
per. a young man of good appearance,
was lodged in the county Jail in
Georgetown, charged by Railroad De-
tective Thomas with having trespassed
on the property of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Greenwood. Magistrate
Warrington sentenced him TO FIVE days
in the jail, when Kemper broke down
and begged piteously to be allowed to
go free.
He claimed that he had received
word while he was working in Green
wood that his mother was dying, and
being anxious TO reach her, and having
no money to pay his fare home, had
Jumped the freight where he was ar
rested
His story had little effect, and as he
could not pay his fine he was led away
to a cell.

HOW FREIGHT IS LOST
BY IMPROPER MARKING

Indicative of the annoyance to which
shippers as we'll as railroads are sub
Jected by reason of the failure to
properly mark freight consigned for
shipment, and of the necessity for the
new rule, of the Official classification" A"
requiring that all "less-than-c carload
freight be plainly marked with the
name and address of the consignee. is
the fact that there has just been held
BIZ the Pennsylvania railroad in Pitts
burg a four days sale Of overweight.
In which were involved seven cars Of
miscellaneous merchandise, and one
car containing over forty tons of iron,
steel, etc, much of which brought at
auction very much less than the real
value.
In the lot were castings which were
doubtless made to order. which would
have been of value for the purpose IN
tended, but as there were no Identify
ing marks, Il was impossible TO locate
either the consignee or the shipper, and
they were sold at practically scrap iron
prices.
On July 1 the 416 railroads in the
official classification territory-east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio river, will adopt the recently pub
lished rule requiring each package.
bundle OF piece OF less than carload
freight must be plainly marked by
brush, stencil pasted. labeled OF Sc
curely fastened tag, showing the name
OF consignee, and the name OF the sta
ton, town or city and the state to

Among the fishes which produce ad-
hesive eggs are the little black head
minnow Pimephales promelas) and the
goldfish. The male blackhead deposits
the fecundated eggs singly upon the
underside OF leaves OF water plants
and watches them increasingly until
hatched. The eggs OF the goldfish are
deposited singly upon the weeds and
mosses In a similar manner by the
male fish. The eggs Of the yellow perch
are held together in narrow strips or
ribbons Of a glutinous character Ad-
hesive eggs OF other species, as the
black bass. sunfish. catfishes, etc, are
deposited In masses in shallow nests or
depressions on the bottom, and still
other species deposit their spawn in

who made a vigorous fight in favor
of the regulation, while the oleomar-
