An opinion Of the Supreme Court of this
state filed April Sd regarding the liability
of insurance companies doing business in
this state is quite an important one. As il
the case of taxation, the decision is simply
an affirmance of the statute law on the sub
ject, but the high sanction which is thus
more effectually enforce its observance. The
Court holds that the amount written in the
policy is the value of the property destroy.
ed in cases Of total loss by Ere and that The
company has no right to show that the as
sured sustained loss less than the
amount As insurance agents are the
parties most generally responsible
for over valuation OF property insured, and
consequently fer the voluntary destruction
of property by the insured in order to pro-
cure the insurance, tie decision will operate
as a wholesome check upon them in this
respect.
Another important point is that the
parties to the policy can not by any agree
ment set aside the provisions Of the statute.
Any stipulation in the policy inconsistent
with the provisions Of the law are void
The practice Of setting aside statutory law
by private agreement has been fruitful of
evil. and it's discontinuanee must be receiv-
ed with delight

BURNING DIAMONDS.
TUE STORY OF SEVERAL COSTLY Ex-
PERIMENTs.

In the year 1894 1t was discovered by
actual experiment, at Florence, that a
diamond would burn. Cosmo LII had
one fixed in the focus of burning glass,
and, after some exposure to the rays of
the sun. it cracked, corruscated, and
finally disappeared like ghost, leaving
no traces behind. Experiments of this
kind were costly. They we're long in
yielding any scientific results. 1t was
only Sovereign Prince who could afford
to see his jewels vanish like the gifts Of
fairy god>mother. Another potentate,
the Emperor Francis /, tried a number of
valuable diamonds in the heat of
smelling furnace, and may have felt
some qualification In finding that they
had disappeared. This was in 1850, and
about twenty years later magnificent
diamond was burned in France. A jew
eler named LIE Blanc denied the possi>
bility of burning diamonds, and sus>
pected some unfair play on the part Of
Macquer, the chemist who conducted the
operation. He had often, he asserted,
exposed diamonds to great heat with the
sole result of increasing their brilliancy.
Mr.. Streeter has done the same, with
success. But LIE Blanc only knew half
of what Mr.. Streeter knows, and when
the chemists demanded that he should
inclose some diamonds in coal in cru
chile, he rashiy assented, and in three
hours they had all disappeared. Then
another jeweler, Maillard by name, who
seems to have had suspicion of the
scientific truth, put three diamonds into
an earthen bowl pipe, packed in powder
ed charcoal, and exposed them without
injury, to intense heat. Lavoisier, who
was present, proved in 1776 that by shut
ting out the air the diamond was pre-
served in furnace, but that the adniis-
sion of oxygen, with which the carbon
combines, allows the diamond to burn
like piece of coal.

hitTo-GIycsrins Explosion
SEVEN MEN KILLED.
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 2, 1873.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 2, 1873.
At about ten o'clock this morning two
tons Of nitro-glycerine exploded while
being loaded into car on the railroad
track near the iron mines, half mile
from Negaunee, Lake Superior.
Seven men were killed.
A locomotive and car were destroyed
and much damage done to the railroad
track and to fences and dwellings in
Negaunee.
The names of the killed are as follows !:
s. A. Wheeler, Walter Wheeler, ira
Huckley, William Meyer, Charles Mil
ton, Jeremiah Foley, William Spillman.
The force Of the explosion was mainly
downward. The cause Of the explosion
is unknown as yet.
A FEARFUL CRASH.
The locomotive was lifted into the air
and thrown fifty feet, where 1t landed a
confused heap of wood and iron. OF the
killed, 8. A. Wheeler and his son; Walter
and Ira Henokley were employed at the
nitro-glycerine works, Henckley being
superintendent. These three were blown
to atoms, no piece of flesh larger than
two pounds in weight being discoverable.
The other four were railroad employ
oes and were in the cab of the engine
when the explosion came. Their black
ened and mangled remains were there,
the flesh stripped from their faces, and
their limbs and bones broken.
Ishpeming, three miles away, plainly
felt the shock. The damage in Negaunea
was probably S2,500, and some persons
there are reported as being seriously in
jured by the concussion.

The Satarnalia of Fraud "A Year oI
National shame.

The year which has just closed is alto
gether the most disgraceful in American
annals, il disgrace is to be measured by
the exposure rather than by the perpe-
uration of stapendous breeches of trust.
If the year 1877 has any competitor for
this bad preeminence it is the year 1871,
when the monstrous robberies of the
Tweed Ring wore dragged forth into pub
licity and the rascalites of the infamous
Credit Mobilier were fastened by proofs
upon their authors and accompllces. But
in those instances the vlllainly was not
so widely diffused. There was one great
focus of corruption iu this city, another
great focus of corruption at Washington,
but the taint and rottenness had not
spread into every walk of busi ness and
every kind of private and semi-publc
transaction, But at present the whole
atmosphere seems reeking with foul
ness.
Every description of fraud an sm-
bezzlement is repeated in every part of
| the country until their accumulated
magnitude seems like Pehon piled upon
| Ossa in the ancient fiction. 1t is diff cult
to say whether frauds have attained a
ranker growth here in New York, or in
| Philadelphia, or in Boston, or in Chi
cago, or in San Francisco, or in some of
the smaller towns. In proportion TO
population and opportunities there
would seem to be ] tile di ference. There
is no conceivable variety of swindling
| which has not been practised, but the
most execrable of all is the widespread
violations of sacred trusts by institutions
| and men cherged with the care of prop
erty belonging to the unprotected and
| the helpless. There are degrees in the
turpitude of theft, and none is so base as
that which takes bread from the mouth
of the widow and the orphan, as so
many false guardians and rotten savings
banks and life insurance. companies
have done.

weather, You see, this idea of having
Christmas on Tuesday is fraud. People
don't want to buy on Saturday for feal
It will spile before ruesday. They can
buy Sunday, and that throws 1t all intt
knocks spots out of trade for q week
Accordin' to my idea Christmas oughi
to be on Sunday. Christ rose on Sunday
and 1t amt no good sliding 1t along til
Tuesday. 1t spiles the business any how
