FLASHLIGHT PILOT SIGNAL.
Electric Device to Work In Connection
With Steamship Whistles.

No longer will it be necessary for
steamboat pilots to keep their ears
wide open to hear an approaching YES
sells whistle in the night, according
to Captain John Dockerty, in COM
mand of the Patchogue, one OF the
largest tugboats belonging to the Long
Island Railroad company's feet, says
the New York I raid. Captain Dock
erty has installed a fashlight signal
system just below the powerful whis-
tie of the tugboat that flashes the sig
nal In bright electric light as the whis-
tie is blown.
Nine electric lamps Of fourteen can
die power each, with individual reflect.
ors behind them, are placed one above
another in a weather tight glass case
with solid back. This case Is on a
standard and higher than the roof OF
the pilothouse and lower than the whis-
tie, so as not to obstruct the sound.
The whistle cord Is connected to an
ingenious switch, and as it is pulled for
long or short, single or double blasts In
the night the flashes from the lamps
appear simultaneously.
Captain Dockerty says the invention
is invaluable for the night where the
whistle may get out of order. 1t also
allows pilots in the cold winter nights
an opportunity to keep pilothouse win
dows closed, as the lights are abso-
lutely accurate in action.

The County Fair.

As day after day passes it becomes
more evident that the weather will set
tie the question as to the success of the
seventh annual fair of the Coos & Essex
Agricultural Society to be holden at
Lancaster September s, aud 10. If
Jack Frost will hold off for couple of
weeks the exhibit of farm produce will
be large. The cattle exhibits have out
grown the quarters and last year cat
tie shed was erected to prevent the over
crowding of the old cattle pens and
owing to the promises of many entries
for the coming fair another is in process
of construction. One man from the
North has signiiied his intention of ship
ping one full car of cattle. The de-
cision of the Maine Central to carry
live stock for exhibition purposes at one
rate Tor the round trip has been great
incentive to the out of town exhibitors.
Since the society commenced to adver-
tise its attractions the directors have
heard many favorable comments upon
the offerings. The little folks are more
than anxious to catch sight of Paul
Batty's comic and acrobatic bears who
are advertised to do some wonderful
things on the stage. These bears and
the one trick pony have two distinct acts
which are repeated morning aud after
moons of the three days. The Kishizuna
troupe is the first Jap act to be given at
the Lancaster fair grounds. The six
performers have been engaged at an
enormous expense in response to the
constant demand to secure such an at
traction. Some idea of the variety of
their work can be gained from the fact
that they appear in six different acts.
which repeated twice daily, make twelve
appearances on the stage each of the
three days.

gagged for Wednesday and Thursday,

tits expected that the reduced rates
offered by the railroads, the good train
accommodations aud the past record of
the society will suffice to bring big
crowds from all over Essex and Coos to
the fair at Lancaster next mouth.
The attention of intending exhibitors
is called to the fact that horses, cattle,
and swine entered for premiums will be
judged Tuesday, Sept. 8, beginning at

partments must be on the grounds be-
fore that time. Entries in those classes

bit ain others were benevolent and

taksh out and made to realize that
there was other work in store for them
than TO sit on cake of ice and dream
Of the far away north pole They were
brought to understand the swapping Of
the trainers whip and learned how to
submit to being harnessed to sled and
to run away from the thing that fol-
and arduous training. but they learned
to bend their necks to the yoke as
men and animals do learn it after a
good many stfnzs and blows. Then they
were brought on board a ship again
and this time It did not seem so hard.
1t was worse to be packed In stall
in a cattle car and taken across the
continent. At last they shifted the sea
at San Francisco and were taken on
ship again, and this time they knew
by instinct that they had left houses
and cities and people and gardens be-
hind them. The men who took care
OF them seemed to be OF their own
kind somehow and spoke their lam
guage. The water grew colder and
groyer. the sky more dull and leaden,
the sun was left behind, but the bears
felt the wind sweeping down on them
from the arctic ice and they knew that
they were going home. When they
felt the ice under their feet they,
plunged forward joyously and scarcely
felt the sled chasing be4Ind them,

But the travellers returning from
the wonderful adventures in foreign
lands, do they feel the call OF the
north? will they break away from
the hands that feed and harness them
and run over their native wilds with
out a sled chasing at their heels?
VIII the inherited impulse to mate
with their kind be stronger than all
discipline?
That is to be proven in the year
1910. There is one man daring enough
to make the test strong enough to
carry through the undertaking If IT
can be done by human beings, and
clever enough to conceive 1t. His
name is RoaId Amundsen, and he will
start from San francisco to seek the
north pole with polar bears, instead of
dogs.
The career Of Roald Amundsen seems
bound up with San Francisco. It was
here he ended the trip through tho
northwest passage that was the goal
of his ambitions, and It was Into this
harbor that the little green tub that
carried him on his perilous voyage
sailed amid the booming OF cannon
and the salute Of the shiny battleships.
1t was from here he went out to be
showered with honors and decorations
from the whole civilized world The
good ship Gjoa was left here and
awaits what disposition Captain
Amundsen will make of it on his re-
turn to lecture here in the early part
OF March. Finally, it is from here that
his next expedition will sail The ex-
petition will be financed with Ameri-
can capital and will sail under the
American flag. The arrangements for
the undertaking are almost completed
and will include the novel addition of
several polar bears, with which the

would be to work with animals that
were accustomed to the region they
should traverse. The resolve to try it
grew like Jacks beanstalk all in
night. and when Captain Amundsen
left Hamburg Hagenbeck had orders
to train a team OF polar bears to do
duty as sledge dogs. and Jacobsen was
on the lookout for strong. intelligent
beasts among the new arrivals in the
tank that is the substitute for the
Arctic ocean.
Jacobsen thinks the scheme Is feas-

1t was in Hamburg. while looking at
some trained polar bears in Carl Ha-
genbecks geological gardens, that the
idea first came TO him. Hagenbeck is
the greatest buyer of wild animals in
the world. His men roam the tropic
forests and polar seas in search OF ad-
ditions to his menageries- He is some
thing OF an original genius in the way
of treating animals, and 1t is his IA

plains into homes for his animals as
nearly as possible like those they have
been taken from.
The polar corner OF his grounds is
under the direction OF Adrian Jacob
sen. a Norwegian sea captain who is
himself a discoverer OF new tricks in
the arctics and has been through ad-
ventures enough to fill library.
Jacobsen knew everything there was
to know about the polar bear. AID
when he said that 1t could be trained
to do circus tricks just as easily as
other animals that were lighter on
their feet there was no one who could
gainsay him. So the bears were
brought from their cold water tank
to take their places with the dogs and
