the idea OF the organization was not
borrowed from America and the rough

army. Roger Pocock. gained his first
inspiration for the organization while
serving his country in the Boer war.

frontiersmen were being put to wrong

In the campaign strengthened that
conviction. We had tumbled al over

Organization, our own methods, tools,
and weapons we might have done
much to bring the war to swifter,

This new order Of frontiersmen has
gained the sanction Of the new liberal
sscretary Of war, MI Haldan, and it Is
planned that its field of operations
shall extend to every part of the Brit
ish empire, and include the rough and
ready type Of men to be found
wherever privations have to be en-
dured, dangers faced and difficulties
overcome.
The Earl Of Lonsdale has been
chosen as leader of the new order. He
is the only explorer who ever crossed
arctic America and one of the few
arctic explorers who never needed a

THE WILLSO% BUOY

Three Of the New Iightships Which
Require No Keeper to Be Placed at

and submarine signal all In one IS
what is claimed for the Wilson buoy,
three Of which have been ordered by
this government II the tests which
are to be made prove successful, more
win be ordered The inventor OF this
latest thing In marine signals Is a
Canadian. and he claims his apparatus
is the most complete contrivance Of its
kind ever devised. Burning acetyiene

satisfied with them. 1t IS said, that 30
OF them have been ordered and in

In the water the buoy looks like an
ordinary gas buoy. 1t is cylindrical,

with rounded top from which springs
a sturdy trcstie worx supporting lens
lantern The ienscs In these lanterns
are really lighthouse lenses or a small
scale, and by bending the rays OF light
to horizontal plane through their
prisms, save an enormous percentage
of light
This lantern is lighted by acetylene
gas generated by the action of sea wa
ter on carbide OF calcium. Down
through the middle Of the buoy proper
runs chamber with a grating at the
bottom. This is filled by Jumps of car
bide. The water, as the buoy rises and
falls on the waves. comes up through
an opening in the bottom and washes
over the grating, wetting the Jumps Of
carbide and freeing the acetylene gas.
The chemical action Of the water
causes the carbide to break down into
a pasty powder, the operation being
somewhat like the Stacking of lime.
This paste escapes through the tube
by which the water enters, and more
carbide tails to the grating. II gas is
generated too fast, the pressure simply
forces the water down the tube. Cen
Grafton ceases, the stored gas is burned,
the pressure let's up, and the water
rises again to make more gas.
The buoys have two long legs. as an
ordinary whistling buoy has-usually
one. These legs contain columns Of
air, and as the water lifts the buoy
and congresses the air within the legs.
it issues through whistle set just
under the lantern; check valve on
the buoy renews the air supply as the
pressure lets up when the water falls
away again. In its whistIing aspect
the Wilson buoy is just like any other
whistling buoy.
At the foot Of the legs Is cylinder,
closed at the top, open at the bottom,
in which to place a submarine bell,
the apparatus for which rests on a
shoulder within the cylinder. Only the
striking mechanism is kept at the
buoy; the power-electric or pneuna
tic-comes through cable or hose
from shore station where the engines
are.
The Wilson buoy is made In two
types. The standard type Is ten feet in
diameter on top. The type called the
'1ightship' type, however. which is
what was wanted for Stellwagen. is
oval on top, and measures IA feet by
10.
It carries its lantern 25 feet above
the waves, giving great range Of visi-
bility and entire safety from icing up.
The buoy and legs extend 25 feet down
into the water. Lnd the whole struc-
ture is a pretty heavy handful. They
are so simple hh construction, how
ever. that the Canadians handle them
by derricks in and out of their light
house tenders with absolute ease.
1t is probable that the United States
government, as soon as experiments
with the three now ordered have dem
onstrated thesS qualities. will place
many Of these buoys on the Atlantic
coast. The submarine bell feature, in
deed, was added to the buoys with a
view to the use OF these marks in thick
weather by the constantly increasing
number Of large vessels that are
equipped nowadays with receivers that
enable the masters to hear the bells.
