There are most extraordinary •nd romantic legends concerning- nit; -Maelstrom, but careful observation? Iiave shown that tlie peril has been magnified. At flood or ebbtide in sum -iner It oilers no danger even to small boats. But in winter, and during #tormy weatlier. even large ships and •teamers do not dare venture near it. At certain states of the wind and tide during this season the whole stream * boils fn mighty whirls, against which the largest vessels would contend in vain. These whirling waters would not flick vessel* (Town in their vortex. > however, as formerly believed, but would Infallibly dash them on the rocks, or. In case of small ships, swamp them with water. The imagination of Edgar A. Poe. w11Ich painted a despot Into the Maelstrom, had no hold "on facts whereupon to delineate his mar­ velous Picture. Stripped, however, of ItB^^Huous dangers, the Maelstrom i still a gruesome fact, and the Norwe­ gian fisher-boats are careful to give it a wide berth, except in very smooth and pleasant weather, when the tide is just right. This is rather a disagreea Hie necessity, as It Is said that the Haelst rom and its vicihlty furnishes a favorite feedinff-groumi lortlie largest and finest specimens of the fitiujr kind. --* A.World of Wonderg." The age of the earth is p!ac*d by tome at live hundred millions of years; andstill others of later time, among therti the Duke of Argyll, place it at ten million years, knowing what pro­ cesses have been gone through. Other planets go through the same process.

It Is estimated thnt this process is now In progress, so far that the neater diminishes at about the rate of the thickness of a sheet of writing papsr each year. At this rate, in six million years the water will have mink 1i mile, and in ^fifteen million years rverv trace of water will have dis­ appeared from the face of the globe. The nitrogen and oxygen in the atmos­ phere are also diminishing ailthe tiyie.

In the latter way forty-eiirht policy holders of the year just pas't, holding policies, the face value of "which was ?1;J3,5<)0, were carried foi an averajre t erm of :t3 years at low rates, and the additions brought the snnjf sum of a little over f:;!>o,<)'K). Many of these policies had been self sustaining tor vears. Because the rates ef every other Company are nearly eighteen per cent, higher tltaa those of the Mutual Life. Because its running expenses ar® 'owe* than any other. „ The s\v&rn statements .of the Equitable Life Assurance of New York, a |r,oinpany several millions less than half as large as the Mutual l.ife, show its e\i»enses of manage­ ment to have averaged U.'J.'S during the last three years, those of the Mutual Life 7S tho dillere'nce of tirst cost of pol'cy.and manage­ ment expenses alone, are equal to25pex cent in favor of the Mutual Life.
