HARB0R BU0YS.
Their Different CoIors Serve as Guides
to the Mariner.

If YOU examine the buoys on enter
ing any harbor in the world, you Will
find that those on your right are paint
ed red and those on your left black
If you should see one painted In red
and black horizontal bands, the ship
should run as close to 1t as possible,
because that indicates the center OF a
narrow channel. Buoys with red and
black vertical stripes always mark the
end Of spits and the outer and inner
ends Of extensive reefs where there Is
channel on each side. Chen red and
black checkers are painted on a buoy
it marks either a rock in the open sea
or an obstruction in the harbor OF
small extent, with channel all round.
If there are two such distractions and
a channel between them, the buoy on
the right of you will have red and
white checkers and the one on your
left will have black and white check
ers. When a wreck obstructs the chan
mel. a green buoy will be placed on
the sea side of the wreck, with the
"Wreck" plainly painted on 1t in white
letters. provided there is a clear chan
mel all around 1t; otherwise an even
number will be painted In white above
the word Wreck" when the buoy Is
on the right side Of the channel and
an odd number If the buoy is on the
| left.-Pearson's Weekly.

FEED ON POND LILIES.
Moose Are Exceedingly Fond Of These
Pretty Flowers.


At first thought 1t would appear I'M
POSSIBLE that such large, gaunt deni-
zens of the forest as moose could IN
any way be interested In flowers. They
are however, exceedingly fond OF all
kinds of water lilies. Few people
know that these flowers grow from
thick snake-like root stocks which are
no firmly attached to the bottom tna'
the strongest man cannot loosen them.
II Is from these firmly moored ROOT
stocks that the much admired leaves
and lowers strive toward the light
A well known naturalist who studleo
the habits of the animals In northern
Minnesota, where moose are more nu'
merous than In any other part OF the
world. often found two or three Dis
bulls engaged In gathering their morn
ing meal on the lake bottom. Ihe
great beasts would slowly stalk about
In three or four feet Of water, ana
often their heads would be under water
for half q minute at time, so thar
their backs would look like bowioers
lust protruding from the stream; tnen
n pair of magnificent antlers would
come up, and the water would DC
shaken out Of the big ears with nap
ping noise that could be heard for
quarter of a mile, and then the big
long muzzle would be leisurely chew'
ing dripping mouthful Of water lily
leaves and other plants gathered IRON
the bottom.
So intent were the huge animals OIL
gathering flowers that several times
the naturalist could row up Close
enough to secure a good photograph
before they splashed noisily back u
the shore and disappeared In the blacI
spruce. When the moose find goot
lily pond they continue feeding in 4
until the plants are almost exter
minated.-Minneapolis Journal.

Copper Mirrors.

Notwithstanding many efforts, IN
Guiding those Of Faraday fifty years
ago, to obtain mirrors coated with cop.
per instead Of the materials commonly
used for the films, no great success has
been attained until recently. Now 1t is
claimed that q process invented by
r. D. Chattaway successfully solves
the problem Of producing mirrors with
a film Of metallic copper which gives
as brilliant reflection as that from a
silver mirror The use of this process
for coating glass with thin layers OF
copper to be used for other purpose,
than those OF mirrors Is anticipated.
