WHISTLlNG BU0YS.
Repairers Keep These Valuable
Aids to Navigation In Tune.

Repairers Keep These taIuabiG
Aids to Navigation In Tune.
Augusta Journal: One of the most
Interesting aids TO navigation is the
Ghistling buoys. There are several OF
them off the cape and their dull,
hoarse groaning may often be heard
for miles.
They are clumsy affairs Of steel,
.anging in length from thirty to thir-
ty-five feet, with an air tank shaped
like pear, about ten feet high and
nine feet in diameter, from which am
eighteen-inch pipe twenty feet long;
protrudes.
These buoys may be seen at the
lighthouse department storehouse on
Diamond island, where buoys OF all
kinds and shapes are kept, ready To
be placed over some rock dangerous
to navigation, or to replace any which
! may be damaged or adrift
This long pipe, which runs down
INTO the water, is what furnishes fhe
power for the whistle.
When the buoy is in the water the
rolling of the waves up through the
pipe and the pressure on the air IN
the tank forces it out through the
whistle and the we'll known dismal
sound is the result.
Whistle buoys in different ports OF
the coast are given different pitch- III
order that the mariner may, on
thick night, be able TO know his To-
pality by the difference in the sound
1t is the duty of the officers to adj
Just the pitch of these whistles when
lhey get out OF tune and they have
become so expert at it that they can
detect and remedy the slightest varla-
ton from the correct pitch.
The adjustment of these whistles
must be made while they are in place.
and sometimes the great necessity or
he marks on dangerous rocks obligeS
the men on the buoy boat to make
these repairs in very rough weather.
The repairing crew usually includes
she mate and one man, who are rowed
mp to the buoy until they are able to
! yrasp the rings on the side and clam
Der up over the side to the cage which
protects the whistle.
Perhaps the most dangerous duty
which falls to the lot of the buoy ten
lers is that of replacing the heavy
| ouoys during storm or while u
leavy sea is running
With the steamer rolling her rails
,nder the greatest care must be taken
o avoid accident, and many are the
stories of narrow escapes related by
strong, rugged men who perform this
dangerous work.

A FEW SIMPLE REMEDIES.

Drugs Which should BE Kept onA
Hand in the Household.
Philadelphia Record: Things which
one should have ready at hand in case
or need are, first and foremost, es-
sence of cinnamon. When eXposeA in

are floating around. A decoction of
cinnamon is recommended as drink:
to he taken freely in localities where's
malaria or fevers prevail, for cinna-'
mon has the power to destroy all in--
fectious microbes.
Peppermint is an old friend, but not,
on this account to be snubbed. Moth
ing is better for q bee sting than the7
application of a drop of peppermint.
III case one is near the premises or
apartment where there is diphtheria,
the simplest yet most effectual mode
Of fumigating is to drop little sui
phur on "A hot stove or on few hot

this way the spread Of the disease
may be stopped.
A disinfectant to use i'm diffesen1s

cents or less. Take one pound of com.
mon copperas and ei.ht ounces of!
crude carbolic acid and dissolve in,
one gallon Of water. Use frequently.
A little carbolic acid added to the
water in which burns, bruises and cuts
are washed greatly lessons the sore

That there is royal remedy for sea-
sickness one is inclined to doubt, but

PARKHURST DEN0UNCES ENGLAND
Britain's War on the Beers Grim
inai Acknowledgements.


inai ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
New York, Dec. An his Thanks
giving day sermon, Rev. Er. Charles
ii. Parkhurst, OF the Madison Square
Presbyterian church, said:
IF the Americans Of today felt as
the Americans of &c felt the great
body of American citizenship would
rise in grand protest against the snuff
fing out of republicanism in South
Africa. The Beers are old fashioned,
yet they took it from their Guelph an
cestors, who were old fashioned and
obstinate, and who, because of their
sanctified mulishness, were able to
stand like wall of adamaut against
the deviltry of Spanish Catholicism
and helped to save Europe TO the
power of the Protestant faith.
THE Beers are old fashioned, but
they are as good Christians as the
hireling soldiery that is killing them.
If il is civilization that England wants
to promote, and not its own aggran-
dizement, why doesn't she interest
herself in the butcher that sits on the
throne of Turkey when opportunity
offers?"
