FLASHING THE WHISTLE.—The steamer Matsonia has recently been equipped with a Benson electric flasher. She is the first of the vessels on the Pacific Coast to have such an installation, though several hundred Great Lakes and East Cotist steamers are so fitted. The Benson flasher is primarily a large cluster of brilliant electric lights fixed aloft and arranged to blaze out when the whistle is blown. It is claimed that the flashing of the lights is a big factor in safe navigation, especially at night or in hazy weather, or when other noises might drown the sound of the signal whistle. The flashing lamps can be worked into any desired form, generally a design showing the company house-flag, thus enabling other boats to identify the signalling ship. Nearly all steamships nowadays are fitted with an electric automatic whistle operator, and ail motor-ships have the same arrangement for air whistles. On such ships the addition of the flasher is only a matter of detail. However, it can be installed in any vessel and with different methods of operation. That it is a factor of safety is shown from the fact that the United States Board of Supervisors have passed it for use on steamers. It is also highly recommended by those who have used it.
