NEWS FROM THE STATE HOUSE. rior class of men will bo atliactcii to tins voca tion whcio so much must needi. depend upon tho individual. And. by the way, piob'tbly very few of our readers know that the United States Life-Saving Set vice la tho largest as well ns tho most ofHelcnt in tho woild. Like tho firemen In our cities, they are on duty all tho time and they risk their lives every time they go to a wreck. Hut, for that matotr, If tho snrfmen did no more than discharge tho duties of their "night patrol" on tho lonely storm-swept beaches they would have to their credit moro hazardous and more arduous work than almost any other class in tie? community The senpo of the relief work of the American Life-Saving Service is expanding all tho while. During the past year tho life-savors rendered aid In the case of nearly 1,500 wrecks and thanks Inrgcly to the aid of these biavo and experienced men only seventy-four out of this largo number pi oved to bo a total loss. Menhiircd In dollars und fonts, tho hervico rendetod by these fenr less men was even greater In tho wrecks of tho past year thoro was involved pioperty, In cluding vessels nnd caigocs, to the total valuo of $11.SSO,000, and of tills nmoiint tho surprising proportion of SIO.OVT.OOI) was saved. This In It self mnkes tho two million dollars a year which tlnclo Sam spends on his Life-Saving Soivico seem like n pretty good investment nnd that is without taking Into consldoiatlon the lives Im periled on tho bhlpwrerked vessels. There v. ore Ciliil persons on board the craft that mot dis aster last year and tho total los of life, which was fifty-five, would hnvo been many times that number but for the succor afforded by Uncle Sam's hemes of tho beaches. rormer Governor William A. Newell of Now Joreoy Is generally recognized as (lie founder of tho Life-SavIng Service and he took the Initia tive as the result of a marine disaster which ho happened to witness during the summer of 1S39 when tho Australian bark "Count I'orasto" was wrecked on Lung Heach. New Ieroy. Tho thir teen memhois ot the crow, all of whom wore drowned, might readily hnvo boon saved had there bren at hand apparatus such as now con stltutea the regulation equipment ot tho United Rtntcs llfe-bavlng crews. Tho need thus pointed out made fo forceful nn impicaalnn upon the mind of Mr Ncwoli that ho soon after enteied upon experiments with bows and arrows, mckots and a shortened blunderbuss ns n means of throwing lines to stilpii ptinnded In positions Inaccessible by small boats Kwntt:nlly his expoi Intents culminated In compl"to success by tli 'ise of u mortar or enrronudo with ball and J?G2G7ur2Y? 27ZZPOJ? J'OI? J3J&ZC2Z&3 JiZSOr line. About tills tlmo Mr. Newell was elected to congress nnd on tho first resolution' day of the first session of tho thirtieth congress on Jan uary 3, ISIS, to be exact ho introduced In the national legislature tho measure which laid tho foundation of our Life-Snvlng Service. Tho national government now maintains up ward of three hundred life saving stations dis tributed on the coasts of tho Atlantic, the Pa cine, the Oulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. Kach of these stations Is mnncd by a crew of from six to eight surfmen hardy and fearless fellows who aro splendid specimens of physical manhood and who arc skilled in handling boats in angry seas and In manipulating tho various me chanical appliances which Uncle Snm provides ns aids to the brawn nnd the quick wits of our coast patrolmen In the dangerous task of cheat ing the deep of its prey. Tor devotion to a duty that necessitates eternal vlgllanco and the most futigulng service tho life-savers recelvo tho mod est wage of $00 per month Moreover they re ceive that pay for anly nine months a year, the crews being laid off during June, July and Au gust, at which season severe storms and wrecks aro almost unknown. Should a life-saver be in jured during his summer "lay-off" ho not only cannot get back Into the service but he cannot under existing cnnditlo'is draw any pension or retirement pay, no matter how many years ho has faithfully served tho nation. Tho vast majority of rescues effected by tho life-saving crews nre accomplished by means of lifeboats or eurflioats. These stanch craft, which, as now manufactured, are almost imslnkable, are tho Ideal vehicles for taking consldeiablo num bers of persons from Imperiled vessels In a lltu lted space of tlmo If the patiolinau, who in his vigils on tho beach diFcovers a vessel ashore and hastens to the ilfe-savlng station for assistance, tepni'tn that the us-c of a boat is practicable eltli oil tho largo lifeboat Is Inunched from Its wa3 In the station and pmeoeds to tho wreck by wa ter, or tho lighter surfboat is hauled overland to a point opposlto tho wreck and launched ns cir cumstances may dictate. Fonnorly all of theso boats were propelled by oars and many of them yet nre, but lntterly there have been Introduced big motor lifeboats, which are a vast Improve mont in overy way over their predecessors. OfttimcB it ship meets dlFintor In st dangerous n position or with such a IiU'b sen running that It Is manifestly hopoless to attempt to reach the Im periled cruft with a smull boat Under such cir cumstances recourse Is had to tho wieck gun and beach apparatus with a vlovv to carrying on rescuo work through tho instrumentality of the biecchca buoy or tho life car. First of nil a fchot with n. line nttached Is fired ncross the stranded vessel by means of n powerful little mortar or snub nosed cannon, which will hurl a lino over a wreck 400 jnrds distant, even In tho teeth of a gale. With this preliminary lino In their possession tho crew of u hhlpwreckcd craft can quickly haul out n larger lino and finally a three-Inch hawser. Attached to the hawser Is ti board which bears in ICngllsh on one side and In French on tho other Instructions as to how to make tho hawser fast to a mast, or the best place that can bo found. When tho shlpwiecked mariners slgnnl that they hnvo oboyed Instructions ns to fastening tho hawser the life-savers on shore haul the hawser taut nnd perhaps elevate the shore end by menus of a tripod In order to lift it vwll clear of the water, after which there Is sent off to tho ship a bieeches buoy, suspended from a traveler block, or a llfo car depending from rings running on the hawser. Only one poison at n time cnr. bo landed by the hi coolies buoy, but fioin four to pl.x people can bo carried ashore at each trip of tho life car. Whichever bo tho vehicle employed tho ttlps contlnuo until all tho Imperiled poisons aro safely ashore, after which an Ingenious mechan ical devico known ns tho hawser cutter Is drawn out to tho wreck along tho ealiloway and upon arriving at tho terminus of the hawser auto matically cuts tho rope, allowing tho life savers to haul It ushoro and thus preserve intact a val uable part of their apparatus. Ambitious Inventors nro constantly devising now foiiiis of nparatus for tho use of the United States life-saving crows. Indeed, these iiivcn t oris are so rtiinieious that tlio federal r?overn mont has folt obliged to create a hoaid of exports whose special duty It Is to test noveltlo3 and who hold such trials several times a year. However, not many of the new ideas that are advanced provo pinctlcable, for tho exacting conditions of tlie rough and ready service involved and the above mentioned classes of apparatus continue to bo tho stnndbys on which our llfo-snvors place tho greatest dependence.
