with printed.
All motor vessels. without regard to
size or use, must be provided with an

for the use for which it is intended
namely the production of certain Sig
nails The power 20 operate the whistle
is not prescribed. but It must be OF a
character that will produce a prolonged
blast Of from four TO six seconds dura-
ton.
When navigated between sunset and
sunrise all motor-boats must carry regu-
lation lights, namely. a bright white
light at the bow Of the vessel, a green
light on the starboard side, ana a red

All vessels effected by this law will be
required TO have on board two printed

two whose joint height was seven feet
two inches. The Emperor Augustus

LARGE TRAFFIC
ON PENNSY LINES
I42.676.770 Passengers Car
ried Last Year Over 2S,077
Miles of Track

Some idea OF the size OF the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad system and its relation
ship to the territory which its lines serve
may be gathered from figures in the an
nual Record OF Transportation Lines"
which has been issued by the mainten-
ance OF way department OF the system.
This shows that on December 81, 1905,
the company controlled a total Of H.
255 81 miles OF line and 23.s77u miles OF
tracks.
Reports complied by the company
show that during 1908 II carried Iae.-
616,579 passengers-an average OF more
than three trips for every inhabitant OF
the States through which It's lines run.
During the year II handled 1884. .4ea. .54l
tons Of freight over its 2s.gI74 miles OF
traek-an average Of nearly tons TO
every person living in the States IT
serves.
During the year the various compan-
les also carried s,55l So. .Os5 passengers
one mile, which means that the company
carried an average OF 3l609S passengers
over every mile OF it's line. The total
freight conveyed one mile aggregated
2o,S53,ss4i 100 tons. or an average OF 26..
2l6,Si9 tons passing over every mile Of
the companys line.
OF the total trackage OF the system a..
0Ss.76 miles are east OF Pittsburg and
