GNOMES AND DWARFS.

Tales of Folk-Lors May Have Been
Founded on Pygmies of Africa.
It is just possible that this type OF
pygmy negro which survives to-day IN
the recesses of inner Africa may even
have overspread Europe in remote
times. II it did, then the conclusion is
irresistible that it gave rise to most OF
the myths and beliefs connected with
gnomes, kobolds and fairies.
The demeanor and actions of the lit
tie Kongo dwarfs at the present cay
remind one over and over again OF the
traits attributed to the brownies and
goblins of our fairy stories. Their re-
markable power of becoming invisible
by adroit hiding in herbage and behind
rocks, their probable habits in sterile
or open countries of making their
homes in holes and caverns, tneir mis-
chievousness and prankish goat: nature
all seem to suggest that 1t was some
race like this which inspired most of
the stories of Teuton and Oelt regard
ing a dwarfish people Of Quasi-super-
natural attributes.

When the lightships that are scat
tered along the Massachusetts, coast
and are anchored away out on Nam
tucket shoals break adrift, it Is the
men in the lighthouse tender Azalea
who are sent out to search for the
wandering ships, and they must find
them if possible and bring them back
and place them on the identical spot
from which they have been torn away.
The breaking adrift of the lightships

during very stormy weather, and fol-
lowing these storms. the Azalea
makes a cruise of the sound, looking
for them. Often the ships are found
to be still riding at anchor, but at
some considerable distance from the
place where they ought to be station
ed, having unawares to those on board,
dragged their mudhooks during the
gale.
The Azalea in case like this marks
the true position with small buoy
and then tows the lightship back to
| her station.
Putting supplies aboard the light

together with all its contents, In the
attempt to board the lightship.
Reaching the lightships along the
sound and on the shoals is a difficult
and hazardous undertaking even IN
good weather, owing to the myriads OF
shoals and sunken ships that stretch
far out under the sea along the coast
:ne of the Cape.
The pcriious task which the crc"
Of the Azalea are often called upon 10
perform In replacing hunys In position
brings forcibly to notice the vital 1ln-
portance OF buoys along the coast.
These b"oys are to the ravigators by
day whit. the beacons scattered along
the coast are at night, and the fog sig
nails are when neither lights nor
buoys can be discerned.
TheseSbuoys tell the sailormen, by
their size. form, color. and number,
| how to escape rocks and hidden shoals,
and are as guide to the skipper who
is working his vessel in or out of a
narbor or through the most ioytuous
channels.
The buoys used in the lighthouse
service are of wood or iron. The

Of all work that the crew of the light
house tender are called upon to do.
It is only few years ago that
boats crew from the Azalea, while en-
gagged in unloading coal from their
boat to the Nantucket shoals lightshlp
had their boat sink under them, bare
ly giving them time to scramble
aboard the lightship.
This is only one of number of in
stances when the lives Of the crew of
the Azalea have been endangered and
that, too, within a comparatively short
time. On the occasion of the recent
trip of the Azalea to the Nantucket
shoals ship, when Capt. Gibbs made
an effort to take Capt. Jorgensen
ashore to attend his Capt. Jorgen-
sen's) daughters funeral, the boat
containing all the Christmas presents
for the crew was capsized and lost,

through the valves as the buoy rises
on the waves into that part OF the
bulb which is above water Is COM
pressed and as the buoy falls with the
wave it is further compressed and
forced through pipe which at It's apex
connects with the whistle.
In the harbors, rivers and lakes the
bell buoys are found, while the big
whistling buoys are located in the open
sea and roadsteads.
The gas buoys are one of the most
valuable aids to navigation. They are
coming into more general use each year
and are found to be OF untold value
in marking sunken wrecks along the
coast.
These buoys, from the peculiar rays
of light which they give at night, can
readily be distinguished from any other
kind of light on the water, and it is
rarely that they are mistaken for any
other kind When exhausted they are
taken up by the Azalea and sent to be
refilled, another being placed In posi-
tion to do duty.

wooden buoys are sticks Of from about
a dozen to sixty feet long of cedar,
pine or spruce, preferably cedar. Spar
buoys are classified by length and
thickness, and then acquired Color
but are interchangeable within these
conditions.
Buoys are exposed to the danger of
being run down, which frequently
happens along the coast, where there
are a countless number of them an
chored Having air-tight compart-
ments the buoys are rarely sunk by
being run down, but often they are
so seriously damaged by being ripped
open by steamers and sailing vessels
striking them that their usefulness is
lost.
Spar buoys are often rendered use
less by being cut down by the pro-
peller blades of passing steamers.
Moving ice fields are the worst enc

my of the buoys. When the ice field
starts before a strong wind 1t usually
carries every buoy within its grasp
with it, releasing them when the open
sea is reached and the ice begins to
break up.
The Azalea, when a buoy is sighted
in the ice, plows her way through the
field IL it is possible to do so and, max
ing fast the buoy, placed it on her deck
and is again off in search of other wan
dering guides to navigation that have
been swept adrift.
These drifting buoys have often been
passed in midocean and one buoy which
was torn from it's moorings in New
York harbor found its way to the coast
of Ireland after voyage OF about SIX
weeks. The buoy was swept adrift by
large field of ice. and was carried
out into the bay so quickly that all at
tempts TO recover it were unavailing.
The iron ice buoys are made Of boiler

class cost about $780, They are 80 feet
