New York Insurance Chrnnicle.

New York Insurance Chronicle,
Mr.. J. Banting Rogers, says Nature, has
devised and published game which is
likely to be of service not only as a really
interesting amusement, but also as a means
of acquiring considerable knowledge OF
navigation and meteorology 1t is entitled
''the game of voyage round the world,
and is played on large board represent
Ing the oceans, suitably divided for count
ing by knots, and with hazards in the
shape of cyclones, collisions, &c, which
add excitement to the game. The game
is played by means of number Of small
models of ships of various kinds, and
cards on which the number of knots is
marked, within which the players may
move. Logs are kept, watches appointed,
and captain OF the watch is set 10 record
distances, &c. Altogether it will be seen
that in Mr.. Rogers ingeuiously devised
game there are great possibilities both Of
amusement and instruction, but il seems
to be lacking in one thing: there is no
insurance company to guess at and charge
for the hazards, participate in general
averages, and hunt around among the
wrecks for salvage This feature should
at once be added
