WHAT CONSTITUTES A LEGITIMATE Loss?-
1t is often perplexing question to fire un-
derwriters to determine what constitutes a
legitimate loss. 1t is. of course, easy to set
tie the question by legal means, but this is
a conclusion which few companies regard
with favor, preferring generally, to submit
to mild amount of extortion rather than
run the risk of being thought litigious For
this reason precedents exist for the pay
ment of losses which few persons would
suppose were covered by an ordinary poll
cy of insurance. For instance,
the servants in a household
leaving the drafts in the kitchen range
turned on. The surrounding masonry was
so well put together that the heat was not
communicated to the woodwork of the
room, but when the cook came down the
next morning she found her range had been
completely ruined by over heating. Was
this fair ground for an insurance claim?
One would naturally say no; but it was
none the less made and paid. Another in
stance is that of well-known gentleman
who accidentally left the gas in his draw
ing-room burning all night. When
the pressure was increased by the
discontinuance of lights in the neighbor-
hood, the gas-je in his chandelier streamed
up and threw off volumes of sooty, black
smoke, which covered pictures, frescoes,
carpets and. furniture. Nothing was
burned, bu great deal was spoiled, and
that, too, by fire in one of its many forms.
This might have been case in which a
jury would have sustained an insurance
company in refusing to pay; but the cor
porarion in question decided not to make
the attempt, and paid the loss, amounting
to several thousand dollars, in full.-[New

is more than evident that a

blame therefore rests not only
with the Princess Alice and

those who have rendered the
