Peter the Great said of his country
ana said truly, Russia is rotten be
fore she is ripe TO realize the true
meaning of these words ana the full
ness of their implication one must
study in detail the reigns of Elizabeth
and Catherine H. In RUSSIA during
the eighteenth century were u be
found side hy side the vices alike OF
savagery and civilization. Add 10 tie
lack of social instinct. of humanity in
the wider sense and of moral rcsY1n-
sibiliiy that is 10 Ic found in a Zulu
kraal. tie worst corrupticnS that are
bred in courts like that of Louis Nv.
and one can form some faint notion
of tie Russian capital under Eliza
beth aud Catherine.
The country, as Il whole. was orien-
tai in its want OF civil organization
but without the idcaliSm OF the east
The capital was Il wcltCr of blood and
lust. barburism and sophistry, atheism
and superstition, drunkenness and saw
age violence, Incidence and semi-in-
sane activity. The moral condition
was reflected in the physical. Never
was there such mixture Of Squalor
and magn!liccncc as in the palaces Of
the Empress Elizabeth. The rudeSt
ANA the most costly furniture were
jumb!ed together. Filth ard splendor
were always alternating. and the vilest
food was eaten OF plates OF gold

euOYS ON The COAs3.
The Lighthouse Department. Uses
Seven Different Kinds.

nc DeDnrtmeuf Uses
Seven Different Kinds.
Seven styles or kinds OF buoys are
recognized and used by the lighthouse
departm ent of our government. They
are known as the nun, can. cone. zee.
whistling bell and spar buoys, and. ac-
cording to their size. the nun, can and
ice buoys are divided into four classes.
Tie nun, cln, cone ana ice buoys are
made of steel. The upper parts OF
these bu0yS are generally modelled in
the frustrum OF cone, With the ex-
ceptiOn of the ice buoy. which is sim
liar in shape to a spar buUy. tapCriag
at the ends.
These buoys are fastened to the
ledge or bottom of the channel by
means of chains. shack,e,. swivc,s ami
ballast balls. which move freely with
the current of the water 1T all stages
OF the tides. The lower ends of the
moorinS chains of these buoys. are ul-
so connected either toy IL sinllcr or IL
mushroom anchor. which is an anchor
with Il saucer shaped head on cen
trail shank
The bell buoy is circular shell Of
steel, forming the main body or float
of the buoy. The bells useI are made
of the best quality of bell metal. cop
per 50 per cent and block tin 30 per
cent and usually weigh about 200
pounds. We believe the government
stipulation is that all bells for sea
buoys shall weigh BOG pounds
Perhaps the most ingenious of all
the Glasses of buoys used by the light
house board is the whistling buoy.
| which is fitted with an apparatus by
which air compressed by tie move
! mcnt of the waves is made to escape
through a tube, thus producing Il
whistling sound. This apparatus con
| sists of whistle, Il check valve and
the necessary connecting pipes. Tie
whiStlinG buoy is protected by an out
er guard or cage.
There are three classes of spar
buoys, ranked according to length and
| si.c-from the first class, forty five
! TO fifty feet long, down to the fourth
class, twenty feet in length, to be
placed in position in accordance with
| the height of the incoming tide in or
der To he etfectual. These are usually
| moorcd To a mushroom anchor There
is also starboard and port hand
buoy used for marking the course OF
the channels. These are cone shaped
buOyS about thirty feet i'm length. at
tached ut the bottom end by shackleS
ana straps.
The colors of the buoys are inter
esting. Red buoys mark the Starboard
or right hand side of the channel com
Ing from seaward and the black the
port or left hand side Midchauncl
| dangers and distractions are marked
with buoys having black and red
transverse stripes ana midchannel
buoys black and white stripes Buoys
markin" wrecks are painted green
The Starhoard ana front buoys are
numbered from the scaward end of the
CHANNEL toward the harbor, the black
bearing the odd ana the red the even
numbers Bangor Commercial.

MAY KICK
N W Workers Get What Was
 Refused Al ska

A Washington City dispatch to the to the Oregonian, bearing date of August l3, says;
 "The postofiice department, by issu' ing an order today at the behest of cap ita,ists and bankers of New York, elim- mated all weight restrictions on first class mail matter addressed to foreign countries where domestic rates do not ap ly, lays itself open to criticism of discriminating against Alaska. Last winter an effort was made to induce the department to waive the weight re- strictious on frst-class mail matter, so that Alaska miners might ship thelr gold to the states by mail in packages weighing more than four pounds, but this priviledge was denied. Shippers through congressman that they were now,at the mercy of the trans portation companies, which were charg- ing exorbitaut rates to bring gold to the states, and they therefore sought the priviIedge Of shipping by mail. The department then held that it could not amend its regulations. Now, however, it amends its regula- tions in order that the banks may more conveniently ship their securities abroad"
