The highest average price receiv

list, distributed gratl* for the benefit j
of navigation, in whlrh each one of the
thousand* of buoys Is I oca led and
described.
The iwM-iiter standing at the rail of
the liner coming l? from *ea will prob
ably first notice a "mammoth buoy."
These buo;rs are uaed only In special
cases- as. IW example, to mark the ap
, proacbes llo channel* over bora or
shoals that Ite some distance from the
coast.
Red and biark buoys designate the
Channel They lie on either side. The
red buoys. which have even numbers,
must l>e left on the starboard or right
hand In panning In from sea The black
buoys, always with odd number*, must
be left on the port band.
When there art two or more Chan
nels these *tre distinguished by a differ
ence either In the size or in the shape
of the buoy*.
An Isolated rock, wreck or any ob
struction flint has a channel on either
side of It l? shown by a buoy with red
and black horlxontal stripes.
Buoys showing white and black per
pendlcular strlj>es and lying Id mid
channel indicate that they must be
passed closo to avoid dancer.
As an Indication that there Is a turn
ing point In the channel we see buoy* j
surmounted by triangles, cages, etc.
There are buoys which are also fog
signals, such as the bell buoy and the
w histling buoy The latter Is used off
the coast to show dangerous outlying
shoals or other obstructions. It la sur
monnted by a locomotive whistle made
to sound by the rushing through It
of air admitted and compressed by the
rising and 'falling motion of the buoy
Itself. It tias been found that these
buoys are fwrtlcnlarty adapted to tur
bulent water*. Inasmuch as the more
violent the >iea la the louder the SUlMd
given out b;r the buoy. The whistling
buoy, n most unpleasant neighbor, may
be henrd a at distance of about ten
miles Und.fr very favorable condition!
It has been heard fifteen mile*.
The *11 bnoy consists of the bottom
section of a buoy floating lo the water
on wblch Is mounted a framework
beating a I HI which. Instead of the
ordinary tongue awl clapper, shows a
small cann?t> Ixtll supported on a plat
form Just beneath the bell'a mouth
This ball Mils to and fro with every
motion of the sen
Rell bttoyi are employed In harbors
and rivers where the water Is smooth
er than In the roadsteads and where
it Is not n?K-es*iiry that their sonnd
shall be beard a great distance.
The ordinary buoy, not of the whls
tllng or the Ml variety. Is made either
of wood or of Iron. Those of Iron are
hollow with rtlr tleht compartment*
and are of three shapes, called re
spectlvcly run. can and Ice buoys
The nun buoy Hi almost conical In
shape, the trao bnoy approaches the
cylindrical furm. and the Ice buoy Is
very long and narrow, somewhat re
sembllng the spar buoy In form.
The woouen or spar buoys are sticks
ranging In length from twelve to ality
feet and painted according to the nses
to which they are to be put Thr
lower end is fitted for a mooring chain
Buoys have many vicissitude* and
are exposed to many dangers. Passing
steamers run down the Iron booyaand
rip them open or cut off big pieces of
spar buoys uilh their sharp propeller
i blade*. As (he Iron buoys are made
; in compartn?ent*. they are seldom
! sunk by such collisions, but tbelr line
of flotation is often so lowered that
they have to be replaced.? Harper's
