sounding of the bell warning is Sc
cured without any dependence upon
the action of the waters, as is the case
with the old-fashioned bell buoys.
The advantages of these buoys can
be easily understood, for they not only
furnish a fixed or flashing light, that
can be seen n distance of between six
and eight miles, but operate in combi-
nation, and most successfully, a bell,
thus affording double protection to
mariners. These buoys will burn con-
tlnuously day and night, from three
months to one year, with one charge
of gas, and may be rented for about
fifty cents n day, including the cost OF
gas. Buoys of this type without the
bell attachment are used very largely
by all the civilized nations of the
world, and are officially recommended.

here is carried out with every transfer
of the metal until it is delivered as
coin TO the cashier.
After leaving the weighing room
the silver or gold, as the case may be,
is sent TO the melting room, where 1t
Is dumped into the huge plumbago
crucibles. After melting, the coin ma
tcrlal Is cast into bars, and when cold
a fragmen is cut from each, which Is
sent to the assay office. The assayer
ascertains the proportion of pure
metal in the bar and amount of alloy
needed to bring it to the required
standard. The bars are again melted,
the alloy doled in, and the metal then
cools in bars about a foot in length,
half an inch in thickness and regu.
lated in width according to the size of
the coin to be manufactured.
In the melting room for gold and in
many other departments of the mints
the floors are Overlaid with heXagon

Remarkably effective as an aid to
navigation is n gas buoy which at the
same time Is a bell buoy. 1t is likely
to play an important part in the pro-
lection of the shipping Of this port,
as well as being a most important fac
tor in increasing and developing the
commerce of New York. This is so
because through the proper use of
these buoys this harbor could be made
navigable at any hour, at low tide as
well as when the tide is full, while
fogs and thick and stormy weather
would no longer be n bar to the free
and expeditions entry OF ships of all
tonnage.
The height of the buoy over all Is
