REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A very good way for girl to make
men admire her figure is to inherit a
lot of money.
When mans health is not good it
can scare him out of doing most any
thing unless it is bad for him.
One of the surest ways to flatter a
woman is to tell her you never liked
to go to church till you knew her
A man with a bad reputation has
lot of pleasure out o. it because he
knows how other men envy him the
way he got it-New York Press.

TUNNEL INDICATOR.
Delicate Apparatus 10 Insure Safety
 Under the East River.

Perhaps the most complete, and one might also say artistic, piece of ap- paratus in use on any railway, says the Railroad News, Is the indicator for showing the position of trains In eith- CT of the twin tubes which form the tunnel under the East river at New York This unique piece of mechanism is in the dispatcher's office at the Bowling Green station of the Interbor- ough Rapid Transit Subway.
 The tubes under the East river con- meet New York and Brooklyn and are each a little over mile and half long. In each tube there are seven blocks, protected by home and distant signals with the automatic stop appa- ratus and the indicator In the dis patcher's. office gives visible announce ment of the position of any train which enters the tubes as it makes It's way under the waters separating the two cities.
 The indicator is box about 2 feet, 6 inches long by t2 inches high and 9 inches thick This box is supported on a suitable stand and has muffed glass front on which Is drawn miniature representation of the tubes, which con- sists of two illuminated bands each half an inch wide, which dip and rise in ac- mol, and along which are marked at accurately scale distances, the signals the telephone stations and the ventil- atlng shafts. The upper band of light represents the south tube, through which the traffic from New York passes, and the lower one represents the north tube through which pass the trains coming from the Borough hall ill Brooklyn
 The indicator, with its miniature re- production of the actual tunnel, Is lit by series of small incandescent cleo trio lights behind the muffed or frosted glass of the base. Each section on the indicator corresponds to a signal block and Is cut off from the next, so that the illumination of each, though sepa- rate and complete in itself, yet forms q continuous ribbon of light across the face of the indicator for each tube when all the bulbs are lit,
 This is not all The beauty and utility of the device become apparent as SCOT as the passage of a train through one of the tubes takes place. In each ol the tiny sections of the indicator, cor. responding to an actual signal system l block, there are two small electric bulbs. One of these bulbs Is encased ir 1 red glass and the other is encased IT green glass. Suitable electric eonnec I ton is made with the track circul 1 which operates the signals, so tha when the tunnel is empty of trains anl all the large signal lights in the tuhes show green, for clear, the indicator shows the clear tubes as pair of rib bons of pure green light
 When, for example a train enters th' north tube, as 1t does shortly afte leaving Borough Hall station in Brook l lyn, the home signal behind it turns |, red and at the same time the greer light in the first miniature section 0 the indicator dies out and the red bull glows, showing that Q train is in tn first block As the train proceeds ant

OKLAHOMA'S LITTLE BILLS.

An organization to boom the oppor- tunities and advantages of Oklahoma as a place in which to invest capital has been formed at Tulsa in that state and is busily at work, The men who compose 1t are unaware that the re- sources of the new state are vast, and that much capital will be needed in
 their development, but they have found widespread distrust of Oklahoma among potential investors because of "a wrong conception of the character of our state constitution, and fear Of hostile legislation and unfair taxa ton and they have set out to allay these apprehensions. The significant thing about the movement Is, however that the boomers are unable to exploit Oklahoma's advantages outside the state just now. They have had to be- gin at home with conference of conn

AlRSHIP'S ROUGH VOYAGE
Poronsness of Bag of the Balloon
 Boston Causes Trouble.

North Adams, Mass, July s--The bal loon Boston with Alan k. Hawley of New York. as pilot, and Frank l.. Com lns of Boston, as the passenger, had a perilous voyage eastward from North Adams today, landing in Hubbardston, 70 miles as the crow flies one hour and thirty-six minutes from the time of the ascent.
 At no time was the balloon more than mile above the earth. The bag was so porous that much ballast was used In keeping the balloon at a fav- .orable altitude, and when Hubbards- ton was reached, Mr Hawey decided to land, finding his ballast nearly all gone. For about five miles. near Tenn pleton, the car was dragged danger ously over the top of a forest, but no. damage was done, and the landing was finally made safely in a meadow.

mercIal delepations called to meet a

mercial delepations called to meet at Guthrie next Thursday for purposes designated as follows. ".
 TO take such vigorous action to preserve the good name of Oklahoma as the extreme gravity of the situation demands; to call into life that safe and sane public sentiment, that spirit of justice inherent In every rlght-mind- cd citizen, which will insure to capital a cordial welcome and fair treatment, thereby stimulating the growth of all our cities, the building of industrial enterprises, the creation of a better market for our farm and factory pro- ducts, the employment of labor and the happiness and prosperity of all our people"
 The admissions contained in this manifesto are striking but not surprie- ing. Only the most casual notice of the fragmentary anr desultory reports of the progress of oklahoma's law making which have appeared In. the eastern newspapers las been necessary to show that the new state was trav- cling as rapidly as 1t could in the d. rection of industrial paralysis and com mercial stagnation. Every indication has been that the Oklahoma legisla- ture was bent on enacting class legisla- ton of the most vicious type. Yester- day bill passed both houses providing 2 prison term for any employer who re- fused to give man work because he Is a member of labor union, all though the right which union labor asserts to strike against the employ. ment of non-union labor is not denied as an offset. A few days ago the little bill was one to empower the labor union state commissioner of labor to Ifx wages in private employment throughout the state. So far as ap- pearances have gone union labor has a strangle hold on Oklahoma, and if 1t is now recognized there, as the Tulsa Commercial clubs appeal intimates, that industry Is being choked the fact will not cause surprise.--New York Sun.
