CHANGES IN MARKING
LIGHT VESSEL STATIONS
Commissioner Putnam Ex.
plains Work Done to I'M
prove Marine Service.

Commissioner G. r. Putnam of the
bureau of lighthouses. department of
Commerce. has directed attention to
omissions and Inaccuracies. which, he
SAYS. occurred in story published yes
terday in regard to changes in names
of lighthouses and other features of
the bureaus general plan for the i'm
provement of the lighthouse service.
Commissioner Putnam has furnished
the followingk statement in regard to
the recent changes and the reasons for
making them:
The lighthouse service. with the ap-
proval of the Secretary of Commerce.
has recently adopted improvements in
the marking OF lightvessel stations for
the purpose of lessening the danger of
all approaching vessel mistaking one
liSht-vessel for another
I'm future the names of light vessels are
to be smp!hed. thus permitting the dis
tingushing word for the vessel to be
painted in very much larger letters. which
can be read at a much greater distance.
Fer instance. instead Of painting Fen
w.ck Island Shod;' on the light vessel
south of the entrance to Delaware bay,
the name painted OH the vessel is now
changed to "Fenwick.' permitting the
letters TO be PAINTED of d very large size
which be read at a great distance
In every case the important distinguish
ing WORD mas D6en retained on the YES
sci. 50 that there is difficulty in the
mariner identifying the station.
Can't Be Kept on Scene.
1T is impossible to keep the same YES
sci on any station continuously, for the
reason that each vessel must be brought
in at suitable intervals for docking and
necessary overhauling and repairs. For
the purpose of protecting the stations
while these vessels are being repaired
relief light vessels are maintained by the
lighthouse service.
LAS these are moved from one station to
another to take the place Of the other
vessels in succession they cannot be made
identical with each station ship. 1t has.
therefore, long been the practice to have
all relief light vessels painted in a dis
tinguishing manner. so, that when one
of them is seen 1t is al once noticed by
the mariner that the station ship Is not
in position.
Recent Improvements made to avoid
danger in confusing relief light vessels
consist in assigning code signal letters
to every light vessel station and having
the relief lghtship display the code sig
nal letters of the station to approaching
vessels whenever necessary to warn them
of the name of the station, and also IN
having the relief vessel so equipped that
she can at night show the Identical light
.Of the station ship. and during fog the

THAT association began in Shanghai

membership of but thirty-six. In 1901
the directors decided to move into

streets of Shanghai. The membership
was then $50. The building soon proved
! Inadequate. and we moved into a still
larger one in 1909. Although attempts
had been made to raise money to buy

ing. the. real effort was not made until
1904. Encouraged by the promise of
$50 900 from American friends. the di-
rectors and members all pledged them
