MANY NAMES ADDED TO
LISTS IN BLOOMFIELD.

Considerable interest was shown in
the final days registration in Bloom
Aheld and Glen Ridge yesterday. Many
names were added to the lists in town
and borough. This was due to the fact
that members of both the Republican
and Democratic county committees did
some tall hustling in rounding up the
voters.

That the Geran election law is un-

the detriment of some political party

Secret of Wriggling Signs.

From the New York Tribune.
A great many Of the electric signs now
being installed are of the moving type.
Walk down most any city street after
dark and you will see many illuminated
signs of novel and interesting design
Here a long red and blue snake seems to
be wrigsling from the street to the top OF
a building. On the other side a wheel is
RAPIDLY revolving; below 1t yellow smoke
is issuing in clouds from a huge brown
cigar. There is also a large theater sign
which suddenly flashes into view, only to
disa appear after an interval long enough
to read IT.
1t is quite puzzling to, the ordinary
pedestrian to explain the wonderful
light effects. 1t is apparent that the
light is obtained from electricity. but
this is about all that Is understood.
In such signs as where a snake seems
to be wriggling along. a cat chases a
rat words that spell themselves letter
by letter and in all other similar signs
the effect is produced by a mechanical
device called a flasher" which lights
the tiny electric sign lamps in the or
der required to produce the effect.
This flasher is driven by a tiny motor.
The flasher is made up Of a number
of fingers, and each finger drops In its
turn upon a metal plate that is cleo
trically connected with certain let
ter or series Of letters. or. in the case
of the snake or rat chaser, with cer-
tain bulbs. The flasher 10 driven rap

MANY STORIES ARE TOLD
WORK SHORT CHANGE" GAME

That picturesque and colorful state OF
Tripol. over which Italy and Turkey
are fighting. has been a warm spot in
the worlds history for several CEN
turtles, and school children who have
reached Tripoli in their geography
courses are digging into a delightful
past finding out some of the reasons
why Tripoli has been a bone OF conten-
ton for so long. Those Tripolitans are
crafty lot. 1t seems. and the farther
back into history the students go, the
craftier the Tripolitans seem TO grow.
In the old black-letter stories of Eng
lish navigation, the kind OF books kept
under lock and key at Libraries on aC-
coHnt OF their intrinsic value, there are
scores OF odd accounts of the things
that happened to beef-eating English
sailors and merchants who dared VEN
ture into the nest OF pirates along the
Barbary coast in the days before the
Spanish armada was whitfield away, to
the everlasting gratitude of the English
nation.
Good old Richard Hakluyt. who spent
lifetime collating the adventures OF
Englishmen who dared the unknown
seas from the time of King Arthur
down to the reign of good Queen Bess,
has left for students the adventures OF
several merchants who made for Trip
oil. and chief among the sorrowful
adventures are those recorded by
Thomas Sanders. This Englshmans
story is entitled The Voyage Made to
Tripolis in Barbarie in the Year 1853,
With a Ship Called the Jesus"

King a CRATER.

With other things, 1T credits the
Tripolitans with the first known instance
of the short change" game, and gives
graphic account of how the King of
Tripon was a regular twentieth century
CRATER in the way Of cheating the Gus
toms Office of his own government. The
English nation by that time did have
Semblance of trade with the wild men
Of Barbary, and had established a near
consul on St Georges Island. near the
coast. The consuls house was a safe
harbor for the Christians of all nations
who traded that way, for Nenetians.
GenOeSe, Florentines. Frenchmen, SfciH-
ans and others put in there before they
started their caravans inland in Africa
However, the consul awaited little when
Thomas Sanders ship and its crew got
in difficulties in Tripoli. After many trib-
ulations, deaths and storms the ship ar
| rived in the harbor. and the crew fell In
with a merchant named MileSvDicken-
son, from Bristol. Eng and, mo went

French merchant who had lived SO long
in TripoH he had renowned his native
| land. The Englishmen called this French
| man Romano Sonnings. Sonnings asked
Dickinson for change for a hundred
chikinoes, a chikinoe being worth about
seven shillings. Dickinson counted out
change in Barbary money. about two
bushels and a half of coppers. SonningS
handed Dickinson some money done up

chikinoes. Whereupon, the record says.

Sonnings might die like a dog were vent
ed upon the African shore. However, In

up, and Sonnings Joined the ship. bringing

held as hostage or as a bond OF indemnity
against the loss some venture, and
the Tripolitans didn't want to lose sight
Of him.

Janizaries Demand Tax.

Sonnings had bought palm Oil Of the
king the ruler not being above making a
little trade now and then, and had prom
Used Sonnngs immunity from the Gus
toms officers. When the ship was about
to sail the king sent a company of jani-
Zaries-fierce, bewhiskered men with
scimiters-aboard, demanding the tax for
the oil. Sonnings swore in many oaths
he would not pay any tax, for he had the
kings bill of sale. The janizaries went
ashore, while the ships company lined
up Alongside the rail and cursed them
One of the janizaries espied Norado. and
told the king that the hostage was es-
Gaping.
BY that time the ship was creeping out
of the harbor and the long guns from
the citadel began to boom. They shot
thirty-nine ''shootes'' without hitting the
ship, when an old Spaniard who had
served i'm Flanders and who was held
prisoner by the king simply because
there was cell room for him said he
could hit that ship. The king promised
him a hundred crowns and his liberty IL
he could. ,whereupon the Spaniard aimed
a long gun, and with the first shot split
the rudder and knocked over a mast, and
with two others hit the ship beneath the
water line, disabling il. Whereupon the
kind said We'll done" and clapped the
man into prison again and had him bas-
tinadoed for daring to remember that
little matter of a hundred crowns and his
freedom.
Put Into Jail.
Whereupon the Tripolitan got the oil.
and everything else In the ships. All the
goods that had been bought, all the
money and all the odds and ends OF a
trading voyage were taken by the king
and the entire company put into a
Tripolitan jail, which was no sweet
smelling garden of roses. The king had
trials for most Of the principals, and
spoke soft and fair words TO them. par
doning their offenses. and then soon
as they had left his august presence they
would be hanged. Twenty-three of them
were put into slavery. The record OF their
work and adventures slaves takes up
pages of the old black-.etter volume.
Finally, by some marvellous machina-
lions, Sanders contrived to get letter
to his father in England. There ensued
some very fancy diplomatic notes. one OF
them being signed by Queen Elizabeth
herself In the end the King of Tripoli
apo ogized, saying ii was all a m stake
and that if he had known he was caus-
ing so much distress at home he never
would have Killed these Englishmen and
enslaved the rest. Whereupon Thomas
Sanders sets down in the end Of his mar
rative great praise for Queen FL. zabeth.
