The place thnt each occupies 1 cure

Is governed by n careful system.
ttuoys nre called "day marbi," la
contradistinction to the "night- marks"
tho lights mul tiencouH.
For, the purposes of the lighthouse
board the coasts of the United State,
Including the lakes and navigable
rivers, are divided Into various dls
trlcts, each district being under the
charge of nn olUcer who sees thnt nil
buoys tu bU district arc procrly cared
for.
For obvious reasons similar buoys In
all districts mean the same thine In
other words, n buoy of n particular dis
tinguishing color off tho coast of Maine
carries the same slgnMcAnco that n
buoy cf that same color has off tho
coast of Florida. So (bo mariner who
enters the New UnglamJ port Is guided
and directed In precisely tho tamo way
a the mariner who entcnj a southern,
port, and tho same U true of ail other
parts of the country.
Tho government publishes const
charts showing tho colors and posi
tions of tho buoys. Tho lighthouse
board publishes. In addition, a yearly
list, distributed gratis for th beucllt
of navigation. In which each ono of the
thousands of buoys Is located and
described.
Tho passenger standing at the rail of
the liner coming in from sea will prob
ably Drat notice a "mammoth buoy."
These buoys are used only In special
cases as, for example, to mark the ap
proaches to channels over bum or
shoals that lie some dlstanco from the
coast.
Ited and black buoys designate the
channel. They lie on cither side. Tho
red buoys, which hare even number,
must bo left on the starboard or right
bund In pas-dug in from mm. The black
buoys, always with odd numbers, must
be left on tho port hand.

COMPANY AT BREAKFAST.
A SurprUs Party That Otartlad a

"I was married lu India," says a
writer In tho Contra Costu tliimite,
"and routed a little house fourteen
miles ur so from nuy other habita

wife and I arrived the servants laid
brvukfast ou thu vvmndu overlooking
tha river. At tho clatter of the plates
there began to come down front tho
big tree that overshadowed the bouse
and up tho tree that grew fit the ravine
behind It, from the huusit roof Itself,
from uvvrywhero, a multitude of sol
emn monkeys.
'They came up singly nnd In couple,
and tn families nud took tbein place
Without noise or fuss on the vemiidu

my dressing gown.'
"'Never inliid,' I said The people
about here are not fashionably dressed.
They wear pretty much tho same
things nil the year round.'
"And so my wife cume out. Imagine
her ustonlshment. In the middle of
the veranda stood our breakfast table,
and atl the rest of the space, ns well as
the railing and the steps, was covered
with an Immense itnuuiuy of monkeys,

"So sho picked up a biscuit and threw
It among tho company. Thrco hun

"My wife threw them another bis
