IN TALL TOWERS CLOCK. Total Number of Lights Now Used on the Dial and Hands is PA.

The latest experiment in the light ing of the clock in the tower of the union station seems to be about the best that has been tried by those in charge of the timepiece. The lights were turned on last night for the sec- ond time and one had only to glance at the clock to tell what the time was. From an artistic standpoint the effect is not noticeably attractive and at a considerable distance from the tower all that can be seen is blur of light, but on the whole the arrangement ap- pears to be very satisfactory and prob- ably 1t would be hard to improve upon it without another long period of ex- pertmenting and tinkering.
 On each minute hand of the clock there are 27 lights. and on each hour hand r lights. A light is also at each one of the numerals, making 56 electric lights used on each dial. a total of PA lights for the four dials The new arrangements were made un- der the supervision of c. F. Egler ot the F. Howard Watch company, the firm that installed the clock
 Hereafter no one will be admitted to the tower without first getting the keys from Station Master John H Plumb, as new iron gate has been put in place at the foot of the stairs leading from the second foor.-Water- bury American.

Woman in a New Field.

Woman has invaded another field that man has heretofore considered his exclusively. A young woman, Miss Daisy Ogden, has been made division superintendent of a territory on the Burlington railroad, between Water town, H., and Betterdorf, Ia. She had to pass good many men in ris- ing in her position, and did 1t by su- perior service The company must have found that Miss Ogden would make a better division superintendent than any man 1t had available for the place or it would not have given 1t to her. So let the men not resent her advancement nor grudgipgly give her their best service.
 This is rather an innovation Tor woman, but it may open the way to others for similar positions in railroad work. Some time ago a movement set in against young women as clerks and stenographers in big railroad head quarters, and embargoes were estab- lished by few companies. Is 1t pos- sible that general managers or super 'intendents foresaw what might hap pen and began to fear for their own jobs? Woman holds up her side fairly well in nearly every vocation where she is fairly pitted against man. There Is little chance today for the old fogy notion that man is naturallv woman'i peer-Omaha Bee
