HEROES ARE NOT PENsI0NED
This Is One Of the Forbidden Features
Of the Business Of Life
Saving.

Boston, Mass-Few persons know
much about the life savers stationed
at dangerous points along the Atlantic
coast. What they do, how they live,
what sort of men they are. In the
first place they are obscurely living
fellows, in the second they attract no
tice only rarely by some heroic deed.
And even In this bushes the chances
for heroic deeds come seldom.
The life saving service pays poor
~, judged by most standards. Sixty
five dollars month for ten months is
the pay of every life saver or surfman,
as he properly is called, except the
keeper, who gets SIS, and surfman No.
1, who gets $40.
There are no pensions. Even the
man who is crippled for life in the
work is not entitled to a pension.
There is at least one case on record
in which such a man was pensioned,
but 1t was through the special interest
and command of president of the
United States.
Not to be pensioned for disability is
the most forbidding thing about the
life saving service which, by the way,
got started under the direction of the
treasury department and has been
under it ever since. This has kept
more men away from It than any other
one thing. It argues no lack Of cour-
age in man that he hesitates long
time over this condition. especially II

George V. exceeds in magnificence
anything that the modern world has
seen. The pomp and pageantry will
not make him one whit more the
ruler of his millions; 1t will not add
one jot or title to his power. But
the coronation is a pageant his peo-
pie await with no slight degree of ex-
element, that the whole world would
go forth to see.
Then, being crowned ruler of Great
Britain and Ireland, he will visit In
dia, with his queen consort, and there
be proclaimed and crowned emperor.
He Is the first ruler of Britain's en-
pire of India to go to that distant do
minion to receive the symbol Of his
office. In previous reigns the crown
ing has been by proxy and the vice
roy Of India has held it as one of the
privileges Of his exalted Office that,
for a brief space, at a demonstration
almost barbaric in it's splendor he
could stand in the stead of his sire
and receive the homage due the actual
emperor. The kingdom of make-be-
lieve is to go. George, Imperator ct
Rex, will himself receive the fealty
OF his distant dominion. And what
a rush of native potentates there will
be to claim places near the throne of
the great white king!
The ceremony of the coronation is

tenance, made of red velvet The queen con-
sort will be regal figure in the purple of her
rank. She will wear small gold coronet, and
will receive the crown later, following the cor
onation of the king.
Some of the medieval observances have been
abandoned but their abandonment has not less
ened the splendor of the pageant, for there have
been many additions with the growth of the Brit
ish empire. &C.
The hereditary earl marshal, the aged duke of
Norfolk is the general factotum in the hall of the
abbey. He will direct the procession of the king
and the queen consort. The dean of Westminster
will have fulfilled part of his duties at this time,
having the robes and regalia properly assem-
bled for the monarch and his queen. The robes
will have been brought from the Jerusalem cham

STATUES OF BUDDHA
Make Striking Religious Monu-
ment in india.
Structure Supposed to Have Been
Erected in the Ninth Century Is
One Of the Most Sacred
Shrines, ,..-

Calcutta, India.-Four enormous
statues of Buddha, nearly 100 feet
high, make one of the most striking
religious monuments in India, if not
in the world. The structure is one of
the most sacred shrines in India and
1t is supposed to have been erected
In the Ninth century. Rangoon, Bur
NAH, is also famous as having a huge
statue Of Buddha.
To the eastern traveller the statue
OF Buddha is a familiar sight. From
Colombo in Ceylon, to Kobe, in Japan,
he is everywhere greeted by the same
calm, impassive and mysterious face
OF the eastern preceptor Of perfection.
But in no city in the Orient do the
form and face of Buddha constitute
so frequent or so essential a part of
the city's decoration as in Rangoon,
the starting place Of Mr.. Kipung's
famous Road to Mandalay," the
stronghold Of Buddhists. Notable even
among the countless statues OF Ran
COON is the mammoth Buddha, repre-
senting the strange teacher, not stand
ing or sitting cross-legged, as in the
majority Of statues, but reclining on
huge raised coach, his mighty form
stretched out for 200 feet, while his
shoulders rival the width of that won
der of the ancient world, the Colossus
Of Rhodes, their titanic breadth reach
ing so feet.
But one among the wonders of Ran
COON, this mighty figure rests near
the famous Shoay Dagon, the center
of the Burmese Buddhist world,
crowned by the golden pagoda, which
rises 800 feet above it, it's walls cov-
cred with pure gold, the gift of a
prince, who contributed his weight in
gold to the pagoda. In the Shoay Dar
gon there are countless other statues
OF Buddha, as we'll as relics of Qua

At the altar the coronation oath will be admin

Great Statues of Buddha,

tama, the last Buddha. All, equally
with the huge reclining Buddha, form
part of the religious rites of the
Buddhists. For the essence of Bud
dhism consists in the struggle to be-
come like Buddha, to attain his per-
lection by obedience to his precepts.
To do this it is necessary always to
have Buddha in mind, and it is for
this reason that every city in the Bud
dhist world is literally crowded with
his images. Buddha himself is not
deided; potentially every Buddhist
may attain his perfection, but only by
the eternal imitation of his practice

this point to note, Is the ranking off,

he crowns the king, but also in view
of the fact that, in the event of the
crown princes enforced absence from
the kingdom on the death of the mon
arch, or an interegnum would be re-

will proclaim once more the king to
his subjects and to the world. The
four dignitaries are the lord chAncel-

They will march solemnly to the four

d survival of an ancient custom of sacring or
hallowing the kings. From the standpoint of the
public at large the actual placing of the crown
upon the monarchs head is the most important
feature OF the ceremony. But from the stand
point of the ceremony's meaning of symbolism,
the service of JUNCTION is perhaps the most note
worthy. And then, too, there is that moment in
the festivityfor such it really is in spite of it's
religious setting-when the king leaves the chair
that he occupies at the start, to sit upon Eng
lands throne ruler of the United Kingdom and
of her dominions over the sea!
In religious setting the ceremony of the cor
'onation, when studied by the layman instantly
recalls the service of consecratins Bishop and
the resemblance is admitted by the clergy though
the most important feature Of the conservation of
a bishop Is omitted, that of the laying on of
hands," -~
Then, too, the coronation is not merely q festiv-
ity. 1t is something more, much more. For it
marks the formal setting apart of the king as
person different from all his subjects, not only
by virtue of his position as their ruler but by
amounting with holy oil-an observance that
has Biblical parallels and sanctions.
King George will be robed in white silk shirt,
land over that will be placed cose-dtting coat
of red sarcenet. These vestments are provided
with openings at the breast, for the purpose Of

lngs but as the amounting ceremony has become
less elaborate with time the need Of additional
openings has vanished. The openings in the
vestments will be fastened with ribbons, and
another of the manifold duties of the dean of
Westminster will be to see that they are in readi-
for the function. Then, too, he will have to
see that they are fastened again, SO that his ma
