Our LIZ. saving service

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The report
of the Life Saving Service shows that at the
close of the last fiscal year that establish
ment embraced Eli stations, 1875 being on the
Atlantic, thirty-eight on the lakes, seven on
the Pacific and one at the falls of the Ohio,
at Louisville, Kentucky. The number of
disasters to documented vessels during the
year was 322.
The report says the number, violence and
destructiveness of the storms which Oc-
Cured during the year exceeded the record
of any previous year since the general ex-
tension of the service to the sea and lake
coasts. In one storm there were no less than
thirty ship-wrecks within the scope of the
operations of the service, and in single
day 1.-the ninth of January there were TWEEN
ty-three. The service, however, did not fail
to match its previous record of effectiveness
in saving lifeand property. The number of
casualties was greater by twenty-eight than
of any former year. Yet the loss of life is
fifteen less than the average, and although
the vessels and cargoes which were totally
lost were twenty more than in any former
year. the amount of property lost was only
about s65, 900 greater than the average of
preceding years, while the amount saved is
increased by nearly S2,0OO.OOO.

For October the net earnings of the
Colorado Coal and Iron company were 49,

amounted to 1000. After paying interest,
this would leave surplus of <23, 900, or
nearly as much as the total surplus for the
year 1885. Colorado folks will be glad to
hear of one of their home industries being
in such flourishing condition.

tailed to proceed to Omaha to organize the
meteorological service of the Union Pacific
railroad, which is to. GQ9ssQperate 9sQp with the

thirty stations are to be established along
the line of the railroad. II is stated that
the Northern Pacific and Canada Pacific
railroad companies also contemplate the 'es-
tablishment of meteorological service and
signal service. The bureau will aid the
projects to the extent of its ability, as its

the bureau in weather prognosticating.
With these aids it is believed that change
