GREAT COAST LIGHT.
Captain Evans Claims They Contribute 20
the Dangers Of Navigation.

the Dangers Of Navigation.
A special dispatch from Washington
of recent date says The plan to estab-
lish at Barnegat the great electric light
purchased from France at the Chicago
Worlds fair is now being tested at
Tompkinsyille. Staten Island, and will
probably be abandoned by the lighthouse
board in Difference to the opinion Of ex-
perienced mariners,
Captain II. ID. Evans, who command
ed the New York at tho Kiel review,
taking that vessel on considerable
cruise through northern European wa
ters, had experience with these great
lights, and now, as a member of the
lighthouse board, he will probably pre-.
vent their adoption in America. He
says that instead of assisting mariners
they contribute to the dangers of navi-
cation. He says the object of light is
to warn navigators of its exact location
in order that it may be avoided and to
display its characteristic features so
that it's individuality may be definitely
known, thereby enabling pilot, after
seeing it, to set his course true. The
great French lights in all bad weather
utterly fail in these essentials. Their
extreme visibility depends on the re-
Election of their great intensity from
the sky, the lantern itself being below
| the horizon. At times when the New
York was going placidly along on safe
course at night overhanging clouds
| would catch the reflection of one of these
lights and startle every one on the ship
twas impossible to tell the direction Of
the source Of illumination or whether i
was 90 or 10 miles away, and for al
any one knew it might have been |
searchlight signal from ship deat
ahead or astern. The reflection of tn
Cherbourg light has been noticed nearl,
rs miles at sea without giving a cley
to It's direction. Electrical Engineer.

Its Promoters Propose to Insure betnsrs
Against Death by Drowning
A novel insurance project has been
started at Atlantic City, N. j. Its pro-
moters propose to insure the lives OF
bathers who indulge in ocean dips dur
ing the summer months.
The policies will be issued on the
same plan as the "a hour accident poll
cies sold at the railroad ticket offices
For a nickel O bather can insure his life

ing to death by drowning only
The originator Of the plan is Fred ).
steinlein of Atlantic City. and he is be-
ing backed by some well known local
capitalists. Stock will be issued shortly
Last year over 1000, 600 people en-
tered the surf, and only three were
drowned. 1t is fair to expect like mum

soldering and sealing machine and are then
taken to an outer room where there are IL
huge iron retorts with capacity of 800
cans each. The cans are locked into these
retorts and left there in temperature OF
about $50 degrees for one hour and ten
minutes they are then taken out, cooled
in cold water and piled away to be
labeled ready for shipping. When bust
ness is good $4,000 cans are rushed
through in one day. The company will
also put up from Is, 900 to 100, 900 cans Of
succotash this year.
The number of employees varies. Last
Saturday there were rs on the pay roll and
almost as many more hu.kers who were
not on the roll. Last year about $4,000
was paid for wages and the farmers re-
ceived $4,000 for their corn. The can
ming season began this year August 16 and
winds up this week, but there is much
work to be done that does not come in the
canning season. The 100000 cans are
made during the winter and summer, and
the cans after being filled all have to be
labeled and boxed ready for the market.
The canning business is one of the i'm
portant industries of this section and the
cash it distributes each year is an, impor'
tant item with the farming community.

A WESTMINSTER INDUSTRY.
Canning Sweet Corn an Important
BuSineSS-5OO Acres of Corn and
Over $4,000 Paid out Annually.

The canning factory at Westminster sta
ton is not an imposing structure and very
few people in this section probably have a
correct idea Of the magnitude of the business
done there. The canning is confined to
three or fur weeks in August and Sep
TENDER, but those are busy weeks for all.
A representative Of the TIMES made the
factory visit last Saturday and was very
cordially received by the superintendent,
George B. Hall, and Fred 1. Lane of
Westminster, who has charge of the weigh
ing and the pay roll, and shown the plant
and told some things which may be of in
terest to the public Of this vicinity. The
factory is owned by H. c. Baxter & Bro,
Maine firm who own 10 or - other fac
tories IN New England, among them the
factories at Brattleboro and Windsor.
The branch in Westminster has been run
ming for six years and does large bust
ness. This year there is 500 acres of
sweet corn in this vicinity and over 900, 900
cans of corn will be sealed ready for mar
ket. Farmers draw corn from points 10
and Is miles distant
If the reader will follow the corn from
the field to the cans he will have a general
idea of how sweet corn is canned. When
the corn is about ready to harvest an agent
of the company visits the farmer, examines
the corn to see that it is not too young or
too old, and leaves directions when to
draw to the factory. When the farmer
reaches the factory his load is weighed
and bushel taken out, weighed, husked
and weighed again and the shrinkage on
the load reckoned from the shrinkage on
the bushel. The farmer nets $12 per ton.
The corn is dumped in piles and is first
taken by the huskers, the husks stripped
of and the basket of ears taken to a chain
elevator. There were so or as huskers a,
work Saturday of all colors and sexes and
several nationalities they get pasteboard
checks which are redeemed for four cents
each. When corn is plenty lively husker
makes 81 30 to % day. The elevator
takes the baskets of corn into the second
story of the factory to two cutting machines
which strip the corn from the cob. The
cobs go to pile outside the building and
the corn goes to the first floor into
cookers and from the cookers into cans.
