and was In good health
PRUssIAN SAvANs ARRANGING FOR FURTHER Ex-
PLoRATIoN PROGRESS.
The Berlin Geographical Society intends to send
out an expedition to Central Africa on larger
scale and with very definite objects, in scientific
point OF view. Professor Bastian introduced
resolution to that effect at meeting OF the
body and from his address the motives and
general scope OF the proposed enterprise may be
gathered thus:-I we place the point OF the COM
passes on the equator, or little above 1t, and at
twenty-four degrees east longitude OF Greenwich,
and describe q circle with radius OF nine degrees
or ten degrees in length, II will approxi-
mately include the vast totally unexplored
region, containing an area Of some million
English miles, into which 1t Is proposed
to penetrate. African travellers have approached
1t on all Sides but have not yet entered IT, as, for
instance, among others, Livingstone on the south
and southeast; Spekc, Burton, Grant and Schwein-
furt in the Nile country on the northeast; Park,
Richardson, Barth and others on the north. From
the west coast, however, there has been no great
successful expedition for any distance inland. II
is rather curious that at this hitherto unexplored
boundary the travellers have observed q change in
the geographical features of the country, and at
the same time one which liz sufficiently similar at
different parts to lead to the conclusion that 1t
constitutes one and the same geographical prov
ince. The details OF the new expedition are as
yet unsettled, and perhaps, 1t may be deemed
advisable to send out smaller one as pilot to
pioneer the way but the exploration OF the Congo
River will probably ne main object. The Lopez
River, or the Ogo-u-wal. as 1t Is also called, may
perhaps be chosen for another.

INSURANCE..
THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
from the New YORK paily Bulletia.l


Much OF the feeling against the reduction OF pre-
MUM rates made by the Mutual Insurance Company
has arisen from misunderstanding as to the posi-.
tion in which the old policy holders are placed under
the new tariff Of rates. 1t Is generally supposed
that future dividends upon old poicies will be
diminished in consequence OF the reduced rates OF
premium and that those insured under the new
rates will have advantages in respect to dividends,
accrung from the higher rates paid by the old
policy holders This, OF course, would involve an
injustice to those who are paying the higher
rates OF premium; and no company could
adopt such q course without most nagrant
violation of corporate honesty. The truth
is, however, that the Mutual does not propose to
do any such thing. The company treat each policy
as a separate account, and the dividends OF each
policy-hOlder are regulated by his premiums. The
old policyholders will consequently suffer no re-
duction in dividends In consequence OF the reduced
rates OF premium, and those insured on the lower
scale will receive correspondngly lower returns
in the form of dividends; the former contributing
IN no degree to the dividends Of the latter but
respect to the ANNUAL distribution oi profits.
For the purpose OF Illustration we present the
following statement. showing the composition OF
the premium and of the dividends accruing thereon
under the old rates and the new. We suppose the
case OF policy holder who pays $40 premium un-
de; the OLD rates, and OF second, who, under the
new rates, insures for an equal amount by the pay
ment OF $1l0:-

'Barbe Beue" was the attraction at the Olympic

the stage, and seldom has success SO far as
the company was concerned, been so well
deserved. Aimee was in excellent spirits,
and in spite OF our recollections OF Irma, must
admit that Boulotte was not lar from perfection.
Juteau makes a good Barbe Bleue. Bobeche, in
the person OF Duchesne, was never more satisfac-
tory represented. The wedding chorus In the first
act was complete success In the second act the
quartet, .C'est son berger" was excellent and the
audience testified its appreciation by repeated en-
cores. Throughout the entire performance Aimee
maintained her proud pre-eminence. and from first
to last Juteau Tent her effective assistance. The
excessive codness OF the night was sufficient
son for the simness Of the audience. Though
slim, however, the audience was not cold, and the
company must have been cheered by the hearty
enthusiasm which was maintained during the
whole evening.

1t will thus be seen that the policy-holder who

the difference In premium. The saving IN the

Under these circumstances we are at loss to

The truth is that the company has been collecting

cess in the form Of dividends; while on future pol
icies 1t proposes TO charge premium more closely
corresponding to actual requirements and to re-
turn correspondingy less in the form OF dividends

business, may be unable to AFFECT an equal reduc-
