WorV of the lAt* Saver*. The I'nited States AJorernment eapenda 12,000,000 a rear for the malnterance of iu 236 iife Having atatione 200 on the shore* of the Atlantic Coast, 20 on the Pacific, 10 on the Gulf of Mexico and 6 along the Great Lakes chain. The work, aratematicallv begun in 1871 in New Jersey, the coast of which, sandy and with few bay*, often many dangers to navigators, baa been extended to that it now parcticaliy covert the chief danger poinU of the whole coast me of the country, more than 10,000 milea In extent and longer than the coast line of any other country. Eight hundred persons are employed in the life aaving stations. Their work counts most, of course In winter time, except on the northern lake*, where travel is suspended in winter apd the perils to navigation are greatest in the summer. Since the establishment under Government control of the life oaring service of the l*sited States, thr number of wrecks at points within signalling distance of Government stations has liven l-tJWO and the numliei of persons saved or helped to safety by the life Havers baa been 90,000. The number of persona lost during the same period on wrecks of which notice to a life saving station could be given has been 1,000. ft is believed that the total property in ships and cargoes saved during this period by the Government employees amounted to $160,000,000. There are about 730 wrecks a year on the coasts of the United States—that is, at the rate of about two a day. By the uae of life lines, non-capaixable boat*, ocean rafts, and other like appliances the means of safety to passengers haa been largely increased, and it is a rather enrioua proof Of their efficiency that the loss of life 1 oh steamboats on interior rivers ia more than twenty times greater in a year than from wrecks at sea along the coast line.
