The London Mutual pays only two third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6.

It has been supposed that during some , ' 'lian of drought a fire, burning the peat, has produced a large dcpressi-ni in which the Waters of the lake have gathered. l’rol'. Slialci', ol' the United States Geo- logical Survey, considers this explanation to be improbable, although smaller pools have been produced in this way.

One of the most interesting fen- tuios connected with the Dismal Swamp in its peculiar vegetation. Trees gener- ally cannot grow in very swampy tracts, itr their roots need to have access to _ the air durintr the growing Season. The bald cypress (Toxmlt'um Distichum) under ordinary circumstances resembles an ordinary tree with respect to its ‘ tool}; but in swamps such as the Dis ‘ mal Swamp, where the roots are beneath . winter all the. year. it has formed the . habit ot‘scndin; a knee like protuberance unto the roots up above. the. water into i holders.

Ile- garding the security of‘llie London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount. of unearned premium it should have on hand is $200,3h9. To make tip this amountiii cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount, leaving a surplus of only $74,2l8, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balnnua‘ of pi't mium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at. the close of the year at $0.- 387, but the Inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13.9”. In view of the foregoing facts farmem will have no diliicully in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured.
