The United States Government expends $2,000,000 a year for the maintenance of its 235 life saving stations, 200 on the shores of the Atlantic Coast, 20 on the Pacific, 10 on the Gulf of Mexico and 5 along the Great Lakes chain. The work, systematically begun in 1871 in New Jersey, the coast of which, sandy and with few bays, offers many dangers to navigators, has been extended so that it now practically covers the chief danger points of the whole coast line of the country, more than 10,000 miles in extent and longer than the coast line of any other country.
