JAIL DELIVERY
At BLOOM

Bloomsbury was the scene of "jail
delivery" Saturday in which one Of
the prisoners that escaped was Joseph
Kelly of this city. Kelly then COM
pleted his remarkable escapade by sur
rendering himself to Sheriff Ent at the
Bloomsbury Jail yesterday afternoon,
after being at large little more than
twenty four hours.
Kelly, it will be recalled, along with
John James, was arrested ON October
1st charged with the larceny of cell
lar furnace. Kelly who has not yet
had his trial, along with another pris-
oner, who was serving time for nom
payment of costs, ON Saturday morn
ing were put to work cleaning out the
corridor in the Bloomsbury Jail.
For convenience the warden left one
of the gates or doors open; the other
gate, it appears, was also open al
though the person i'll charge thought
it was closed. The situation was well
understood by the two prisoners, who
bided their time and when the guards
were all absent they quietly walked
out
They were soon missed but the es-
capped prisoner made good use of the
interval and succeeded in getting
away

PHONE TO AID TRAINMEN

The Reading Railway company is
introducing the telephone service at
all passing sidings on the Catawissa
division between East Mahanoy juno
tion and West Milton.
The number of miles of track TO be
covered is 81 and there will be is tele-
phone sations, located at East Mahanoy
Junction, Lofty, Girard, Brandonville,
Krebs, Ringtown, Ferndale, Beaver
Valley, McAuley, Mainville, Cata-
wissa, Rupert, Grovania, Danville,
Mausdale, Mooresburg, Dougal and
West Milton. 1t is not the purpose TO
do away with the telegraph in the
running of trains but to use the tele-
phones as an accessory.
1t will enable the trainmen who is
not a telegraph operator and who may
be miles away from a telegraph office
to get into instant communication
with the train dispatchers and, in
many instances, save valuable time.
1t will enable train crews to know
just where the train they are laying
out for is and often times will enable
it to get a right of way which it could
not get for hours if it had to get word
by telegraph office first.
This system is now i'll operation
throughout the yards and on the basin
branch where telephone boxes have
been installed and the train crews, by
using them, save much time in getting
a right of way and making the neces-
sary movements.

PAINTING TRUNKS
Of FRUIT TREES

A physician, who is interested in
fruit culture, wrote to Professor II.
A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, i'll reference to painting trees
with white lead and linseed oil, as
protection against borers, as follows:
In the Reading Eagle 1 saw report
of your demonstration given at the
poor house grounds at Shillington,
showing the advantage of painting
trunks of trees with white lead and
raw linseed oil for borers. We have
done this, but since heard that some
Shillington fruit growers lost great
number of trees by this method. /
write to you, asking as to the advant-
age of this treatment, and # there is
danger of smothering the trees by
painting them. "
The answer of State Zoologist Sur
face follows:
Replying to your letter of recent
date, | beg to say that | am deeply in.
terested in your statement that you
have heard that the Shillington fruit
growers lost a number of trees by
| painting them with white lead and
linseed oil. must acknowledge that
| this is news to me, as have not beer
! informed concerning such loss.
However. do know that tens OF
| thousands of trees have been painted
with this material in this State with
out injury TO them. OF course, yor
understand that | recommend painting
only apple, pear and ounce trees, Il,
there is no advantage in painting
! peach trees, and the last named is more
! delicate than the others. Neverthe
less, two years ago | painted my young
peach trees, and this year took my
most abundant and best crop of peaches
from the trees that had been painted.
L can not believe that painting ha
hurt the trees to which you refer, un
less ''boiled' oil or impure mate1ia
were used I should like to be inform
ed as to just what persons lost thei
trees by painting them; how man,
they lost, and under what conditions
l should then like to trace up this in
formation and see what material wa
used, and where it was procured.
really think there is no danger whei
raw oil and pure lead are used.
| have seen tens of thousands o
trees painted in Adams county by tn
extensive fruit growers of that count,
without any danger to any of the trees
They are continuing it after four O
five years of successful practice.
The advantage of painting tn
trunks of apple, pear and ounce tree
is, that the bOrers are kept out durin
the summer time, and the rabbits an
mice are not nearly so liable to gnav
them in the winter. | think there i
no advantage in painting peach tree
and plum trees (uuless it be for rab
bits and mice), and therefore, do no
recommend it. -
