PIdHIS Society, which confines it's bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
Gent to create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
q 6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during d period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
siye Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -

Sugar Cane Soils and ManureS.
BY DR.. T. L. PHIPSON, +. c. s., ETC.
PRODUCE MARKETS. REVIEW
APR IT, 27. 1872,
APR IL q, 1921

It is truly surprising how long a fertile tropical
soil-such as the rio h clay which l find extends
not only over the whole of British Guiana, but
into the islands of Jamaica, Barbados, &o.-hOw
long such q soil will continue to yie@ moderately
luXuriant crops without any particular care; year
after year rolls on, and still the Cunes appear as
Iuxuriant as before. This is, however, less aston
ishiug, when we know how rich this soil is in or
ganic matter or humus, and when we calculate the
very small amount of mineral matter of the Gle
ments of fcrtiiity-which the plant tax G IS from the
soil in attaining to its compIet g development.
Add to this the hundred economical processes by
which Nature herself makes an effort to replace
what is lost. Thus by the action of the wind and
the rain, the neighbouring rocks and the soil itself
become new sources of potash, silica, and lime,
whilst the thunder-shOwors bring down nitrogen
in the form of nitric acid and ammonia. Slow fer
mentation Of organic matters in the porous soil
supplies moro ammonia and carbonic acid, whilst
the atmosphere supplies abundantly the latter, and
also water, which is no less essential than carbo-
mic acid to the production of Sugar. The excre-
monts of animals, the muddy stream of water, and
even the dust which is carried through the air by
the breeze, all contribute to this important OBJ
ject.
Thus may quote some soils, not long since
analysed in my laboratory, of which the following
is a condensed history For hundreds of years
they had grown ferns, Came, RlcjnuS, Janipha,
and wild plants of every description. Then they
were drained, worked, and set with plantains. AT
ter some thirty years of plantains they had thirty
more years of Coffee, and finally twelve years Of
Sugar Cane, which brings us up to the year 1871.
Now, until recently, these soils yielded very
large crops of Cane, and at least three tons OF Su-
gar per acre were usually obtained but for the
last four years the crops have visibly diminished,
and the yield of Sugar has dropped to less than
ono-half. The cause of this marked dimuni-
lion which has occurred. in spite Of guanO
and CHInh0tQ of 0mmOni0 WAS nAintAd nmf
by the ANALYSIS Of the soils. 1t was found
that both the lime and the phosphoric acid were
present in very small proportions, and mere traces
of sulphuric acid and chlorine we're found on the
other hand the magnesia had become predominant
over the lime-a sure sign of partial exhaustion
in West Indian soils, as [ have already pointed out
in another place. In the sub-soil a certain amount
of lime and potash was shut up, and could only be-
come available by long faIlow or weathering,
which would necessitate considerable labour.
So that, in spite of their apparent inexhaustibi-
hty' which may extend over hundreds of years of

Another objection was that the practl'
cal operation would be to transfer the
legal control of the Educational system
from the rightful keeping of the people
of the States to that of the Congress OF
the United States.
Mr.. Bird also opposed the bill as being
a child of the Freedmens Bureau ana
a revival of that system Of legislation
Mr.. Parker produced statistics to
show that in the distribution OF the
proceeds there would be about 30 TO
each school district. Ifaid was to be
extended, it should be direct from
the Treasury. The real object OF the
bill was to obtain under the plea tor
schools recognizition Of the principle
that the General Government had a
right to interfere in the domestic affairs
of the States.
Mr. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, az
gued that the bill was perfectly constl-
tutional, and that the railroad and agrl-
cultural interests having received large
grants, it was proper that the educa-
ional interests should receive portion
of the public domain. He charged the
Democrats with opposing all educa'
tional efforts, and said that in Della
ware, where the whipping-post existed,
the Democrats were endeavorlng to
keep the people in ignorance, IN order
to retain power.
Mr.. Mckee urged the passage OF the
bill as a measure of justice to the
colored people OF the South. He did
not consider it as forcing, but only per.
suading the adoption Of the free school
system. He thought several improve.
ments might be made in the reading Of
the bill, and submitted his amendments.
Mr.. Shellabarger, Of OHIO, considered
the bill one of the most important that
could come before Congress, as it gave
away the whole patrlmony OF the Gov,
ernment forever. He argued the bill
was Constitutional and quoted the re-
striction placed upon grants to States
and for college purposes as furnishing
precedent for the restrictions OF the
present bill, which we're but terms OF a
trust.
Mr.. Biggs defended Delaware from
the attack Of Messrs. Townsend and
Hoar. He said no State in the Union
had made more ample provisions for
her schools. He produced report
Of a Massachusetts State constable CIV
ing report of the arrests made in late
years TO show the greatest prevalence of
crime there.
Mr.. Bright controverted the state
ments made the other day by Mr.. Hoar
in regard to Tennessee, pronounclng
them without foundation and defending
the Tennessee school system.
Mr.. King, Of Missouri, offered an
amendment providing that fifty per cent
Of the proceeds of the sales of the pub
lie lands should, for the first ten years,
90 to the Southern States.
Mr.. Mcintyre, Of Georgia, addressed
the House in opposition to the bill, and
in defence OF the educational system Of
Georgia and her people, who were now
happily free from carpet-bagger5.
