TRUNK LINE SIGNALS.

In it's latest issue Engineering News de-
scrbps apparatus which has been Installed in
the East River section of the subway with a
view to promoting safety there. The control Of
traffic in both directions between Bowling Green
and Borough Hall is ntrusted to the dispatcher
at the former station In his office is n device
by means Of which each block signal in the two
tubes for distance Of mile and half shows
whether 1t stands at danger" or safety" In
the one case it displays red light and In the
other q green one to the dispatcher.
So short time has elapsed since the East
River tunnels were opened for service that the
virtues of the invention here referred to may
not yet have been fully tested. Possibly years
will be required to- prove whether it may be
trusted TO work satisfactorily. even on small
scale much wider interest will be felt in
the matter, however. when it is known that the
experiment made by the Interborough company
Is one of the first of the kind, and that there
has been q good deal of talk about trying the
new system on trunk line railroads.
For every block signal which is arranged to
report its movement to a train dispatcher sep
arata wire is needed. Between Borough Hall
and Rowling Green there are only about dozen
signals six or seven in each tube. Similarly TO
equip road n~Sr NSS hundred miles long

GOOD WORK on THE CAN4L.

1906 and more than twice as great as in May,
1907 Al every point save only Ancon it was
much greater than the average, and at some
points il was q bout twice great as the aver

the rainfall was nearly twice great in
1906. the amount of excavation was consider
ably more than twice as much as in May Of
that year.
The total excavation done by the French at
all points including diversion channels.
amounted 10 about Sl.54S0eo cubic yards. From
May. 1904, 10 June i, 1908, the American en-

THE FTTTPE OF HORSE RACES.

With the bookmaker eliminated, viii the
nubIic lose interest in horse racing: Probably
If will. in so far as it's present delight centres
in wagers instead of horses but in so FAR as
a race between quadrupeds has any intrinsic
aIlurements for reasoning bipeds, the dlsap-
nearance of hookmakers cannot spoil the fun
auy more than the banishment of popcorn
nedlers could. The gentleman hgh IN tue
councils of the Jockey Club who says that me
SPECTATORS mind cannot he properly centred
unon a race or a horse in it without wager
correctly describes feature of the moderh
horse race As contests are now conducted
tho ordinary visitor sees the horses chiefly in
his irnapination: short races which can be
clearly witnessed only during the few sec
onds at the finish and the absurdiy long IN
teryals between events have reduced the spec
tacular side of the sport 10 minimum but
those are the results of the high specialization
of race horses and racetracks, which IN TURN
has been induced by the huge stakes o1efed
and the heavy gambling induiged H. Because
tho hone of gain has thus transformed the
snort betting has naturally become more neces-
sarv to its enjoyment But the suppression of
confessional gamblers may only mean the aban-
donmpnt of the artficiaiities which they nave
loaded upon the institution.
VIII the breed of horses deteriorate? The
breed which the exigencies Of commerclalized
racing have called into existence presumably
will dwindle but these fragile animals arc Writ
uaIIy useless save for short races. The breed
ing of carriage horses. truck horses, farm
horses PAGERS and trotters will be no more
seriously hindered than the breeding of watch
dogs would be by the decline of the dachshund
If all this is true then IT is fairly apparent that
the decline in property values due to the
regeneration Of racing rs grossly exaggerated
al MT
ton in breeding expenses. stakes and Jockey
fees will make possible lower admission fees
and so attract to the raceeourses thousands
of people who object TO spending several dol
lars Just for a few feeting glimpses Of pack
of ponies This forecast. be 1t remembered,
! is made on the assumption that horse race still
has some genuine human interest. If mems
I tastes have changed of late, another story must
be told Perhaps the automobile has displaced
the horse as a racing machine; if so, jockeys
must turn chauffeurs and racing clubs take up
aeroplane contests
