Co-operating in the exhibit are these Government and semi-official bureau and organizations: The Bureau of Standards, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Bureau of Light houses, Steamboat Inspection and Bureaus of Medicine and Surgery, Bureau of Steam Engineering, Bu reau of Ordinance and Bureau of Construction and Repairs, of the Navy Department; The Weather Bureau and the Forest Service, of the Department of Agriculture; The Bureau of Labor Staristics and the Children’s Bureau, of the De partment of Labor; The Bureau of Mines, the Reclamation Service, The Indian Office, The Geological NOTICE.

Life saving apparatus used by the Coast Guard Service in rescuing persons from shipwrecks is shown ,and explained. A breaches buoy worked by coast guards exactly as the device is used in taking people off wrecked vessels is one of the interesting exhibits. Guns used in throwing lines across wrecked ves sels are shown, together with life boats of the old surf-boat type, and the modern motor surf-boat, practically uncapsizable and self bailing. The exhibit of the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Navigation includes models of wireless used on ocean-going vessels as well as ashore. A chart accompanying this exhibit chows that during last year 25 vessels clearing from United States ports and required to ,^rry wireless apparatus met with' dis aster, but that only two lives were lost. The Children’s Bure'iu exhibit shows the relationship existing be tween infant mortality and poor living conditions. In its exhibit the Steamboat In spection Service points out that by reason of the efficiency of its in spectors in 1915 only one life was lost out of 2,872,411 passengers carried on the steam vessels of the United States, inland and coast wise as well as ocean-going. The work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey is shown in models and charts, among the models be ing one of the unique wire drags devised by the Survey for locating j sunken wreks and submerged rocks i that might prove menaces to naviga-1 tion. I How the Lighthouse Bureau pro- j tects and conserves human life is i shown by means of models of : lighthouses, light vessels, buoys, ' submarine bells, and fog signals, ! such as the Bureau maintains at dangerous points.
