The quanity of electricity circulating for this reason through the narrow strip of earth which composes tbe island has result ed in overcharging the soil with elec tricity, and this superabundance of electrical fluid has given rise to a very strange experiment. By throwing an isolated wire three kilometers in length across the island, and then at taching it to a metal plate which is cast into the sea, it has been possible to intercept in its transit a message on its way from America to Europe and vice versa, the overcharged elec trical soil having turned the message out of its original path. -- ■ - i , The wrath of the Charleston Newt and Courier towards tbe Georgia leg islature because of its flippant treat meat apd final killing of the anti dog hill ie both righteous and vehement. II says: "It could not be expected that there would be rnuch sympathy for sheep in a company of asses, and the rips prevailed. It will always be so in every legislature that ie composed of men who cultivate the yellow dog vote and are dependent upon it for their stKcesa in politics. The destruction of the dogs, which are of no earthly ben efit to any industrial or worthy enter prise, would mean the increase of sheep, tbe production of wool, tbe es tablishment of factories and tbe em> ployment of men and women at living wages." "Down in bis country," said one of tbe Georgia legislators in favoa> of tbe bill, "there was an average of 3. dogs to every colored citizen." It is. only when the Ist makers regard,, tbe colored citixen in bis relations to, the yellow dog that be receives nywb con sideration.

Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the. particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr . Banks was insured for • •• 15’222 22 The dividends amounted to. two.W Paid to the estate $17,028.00 I How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan Original Insurance in 1845, so,ooo. Dividend additions paid in 12,028.00 Amount of death claim. ' 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid $8.388 00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2f) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from SS,WO at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. | The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for tbe insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result o: his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
