Science of Life.


| The inception of the American Popular Life
Insurance had this to distinguish it from all its
| predecessors and successors-that it was organ
| lied to test, establish and confirm principle
| in science, law of life which is now known
and recognized as the science of biometry or
the art Of measuring life or lifetimes..
1t was primarily less to do insurance than,
| through insurance, to test the value OF the OBJ
servations made through long series of years
concerning the facts, conditions and indications
of long and short life that the company was
organized.
1t seemed like bold move on the part of
the protector of this enterprise to seek to enlist
| capital in support of a scientific experime Mt,
and like bo'der move still for capital to en-
list in what was BY very many, and by the in
surance fraternity universally at that time, de-

ances those who valued not only his many
sterling personal qua lities-qualities which
themselves sometimes attract or aggregate cap

would not propose scheme of philosophy that
he had not already SO far investigated as to
bring it to him within the range of what may
be termed positive philosophy, or of demon
strated facts. The principle advanced by him
needed no confirmation in his mind. To him
| it was both clear and clearly defined, but lack
| ed the kind of testimony in its support which
| would make it accepted by mankind generally
The most com pete and satisfactory test of
the principle could only be made through the
methods of life insurance, and the facts Oh.
taised in that way being of record. would be
absolute demonstrations of the principle, if the
principle was true.
| OF its truth the projectors fully persuaded
themselves before investing in the enterprise.
But the fact remains that all the demonstra.
ton before them at the time was the series of
observations made by DR.. Lambert, and these
were supplemented only by his character as q
trained scientist and with these as the basis
the capital was secured and operations com.
menced.

A DISTINGUISHED ARRIvAL.-Property hold
ers in this vicinity will be delighted to hear of
the arrival 10 our midst of no less celebrated
PROFESSIONAL than the noted "Dutch Dan,"
formerly of New York, and more recently of
Thomaston. The man will be remembered as
concerned in the robbery of the o. Bron safe
at Cornish some years since. Whether his
present visit is one of business or of pleasure,
has not yet appeared. Tuesday he was saun-
te-ing down Federal street with the air of a
man who finds time heavy on his hands. He
has not yet inspected our banks, and possibly
has dropped the shop during bis summer vaca-
ton. But as be wa, seen in company with a
Maine man to whom suspicion is attached in
connection with the Cornish robbery, many
surmise that his tour IS not one of pleasure
alone, and that he has an ese to business should
a good opening present ITSELF If an opening
does not offer he is capable of making one.
