It Is the Intention of . the Tioaatiry Department , having In charge the ' erection ot the Government ! building , to build 1 at the head of the lagoon , or the "Mirror < , " as It Is to bo called , a small building for the crew of the life saving service t , to be detailed from ono of the places along the Atlantic coast where these men are i constantly employed. The building will necessarily ; bo small , largo enough , however , to contain a lifeboat with six pairs of onrs and the apparatus now In vogue for purposes ot saving life , and relieving vessels In dis tress. This exhibit will ho an object lesson of Infllnto Importance to three who are only acquainted with the acres ot bending corn nnd thu undulating fields of wheat ; where no vessel ot any character Is known except ho prairie schooner. According to the act- ng supervising architect. Mr. C. E Kempor , he lagoon planned by the exposition man agement will admit of a splendid display of the work requited from the Life Guard , and It Is lo bo hoped that the depth of water at the nolnt where the life saving station s to bo located will be sufficient tj permit : ho Llfo Guards to swim Instead ot forcing hem to wade out to the shore , thereby llscredltlng the rxhlbltlon According to the statistics of the Treasury Department there lave been fewer disasters and more lives saved on the coast In the last year than over befoic In the history of the country Without question the life saving service of the United States Is superior to that of any intlon In the world NUMEROUS STATIONS Piom the eastern extremity of the coist ofMaine to Race Point on Cope Cod , a dls- ance of 413 miles , there are alrcadv sKteen stations ten ot tlnie being located at the uost dangerous points on the coast of Milne and New Hamp'hlre. which , although abound- ng with rugged headlands , Islets , rocks eefs and intricate channels tint would latuially appear to bo replete with dangei- , ate provided with numerous harbors and ilaces of shelter In vvh'ch ' , upon shsit notice , vessels can take refuge The Atlantic ccast mwovei is studded with life saving stations. 1 here I * hardly a stretch or to rltory ot oi\ to ten miles tint does not contain a station eqjlppcd with all the appliances of the e modern times for the sivlng ot life ; and at some places where the reefs ore dangerous and the sandbars treacherous , the stations ore but four miles apart , sltuited along the ow sand hills fronting the ocean , sufficiently , ack ot high water mark to bo afc from the each of storm tides They arc plain stnre- .urcs deslgne-d to servo as barracks for the c'cwa and to afford convenient storage for Ife boats and the apparatus. In the majority of stations the first floor .s divided Into four rooms , a boatroom , a iness room ( also ( -ervlng for n sitting roam for thq men ) a keeper's room nnd a store room. Wide double-reefed doors and a slop- ng p'atform ' extending from the sills to the ground peimlt the running out of the icavy equipments from the building' . The second etory contains two rooms ; one Is the sleeping room for the men , the other his spate cotb for rescued people and Is also used or stoiage The-e suimounts every station a lookout or observatory In which a day watch Is kept. This observatory Is provided with a telescope which is used to sweep the liorlzon for purposes of noticing pasblng eh'pb. and to catch signals ot distress when made In front of each station Is a flagstaff sixty feet high used In signalling pas'lng vessels by the Intel national code. EQUIPMENT. TLo equipment of the oidlnary life saving station is most interesting , usually con'Ist- Ing of surf-boats supplied with oars , life boit compass and other attachments , a boat carriage , two sets of brcechcfi-biioy appar atus ( Including a Lyle gun and accessories ) , a cai for the transportation of the apparatus , a life car , twenty cork jackets , two heaving stlckH , a dozen Cotton signals , a dozen slg nal rockets , a set of signal flags of the Inter national code , a medicine chtst with contents a barometer , a thermometer , patrol lanterns , patrol checks or patrol < locks , the requisite furniture for rude housekeeping1 by the crew and for the buccor of rescued people , fuel and oil , tools for the repair of the boats and ap paratus and fo > - minor repairs lo the buildIngs - Ings , and the necessity books and Gtatloneiy To facilitate the transportation of boats anil apparatus to scenes of shipwreck a pair ol hoises Is aho piovlded at stations where they cannot bo hired , but at most of the houses the men are expected to furnish the motive power for the transportation of the boats two lines of rope usually being attached to the boat-carriages , very much similar to the manner In which flro engines were propellce In the old volunteer days. The number of men composing the crow o a station Is determined by the number o cars requited to pull the large : ! boat belong Ing to It. Ihcre are some five-oar boats In the Atlantic stations , but In all of then there Is at least ono of six oars Six men therefore moke up a regular crew To thcsi btatlons a seventh man Is added on the firs day of December , so that during the moat rigorous portion of the hou'on a man may bo left on shore to assist In the launching and beaching of the boat and sco that the btatlon is properly prepared for the comfortable re ception of his comrades and the rescued people ple they bring with them on their icturn from a wreck SELPBALINGBOAT. . Ono of the new Inventions used In the life saving service and which Is giving most ex cellent satisfaction , solving a hitherto em barrassing question , Is the self-lallng boat , which pulls eight oars and which will be onu of the distinctive features of the govern ment dUpIay at Omaha. The crews at the life saving stations throughout the United States are under civil service , having to pas * a rigid examination as to physical condition and a knowledge of locations about the sta tion to which they dcslra to bo attached.
