FROM NEW YORK.
Fire Underwriters Annual Meeting.

New YORK. May L.
The annual meeting of the National Board
of fire underwriters was held to-day. In his
address, the President, ID. A. Heald, said :
''The year which has elapsed since our last
annual meeting has not been profitable one.
The causes that were pointed out as having
been silently and potently at work in reduc-
ing the business of fire insurance To its then
condition, have, during the past year. shown
increased activity, and point now has been
reached that is pregnant with danger to the
entire system as now conducted. Old rules
and maxims once deemed essential to success
are rapidly disappearing Innovations that
would have shocked the conservatism of a
few wears ago. are fast becoming the rule
and not the exception" Reviewing the his
tory of the year. he SAID that the work of
forming local boards has been vigorously
pressed forward, and there are at present not
less than 1000 local boards and tariff assocIa-
tions in good working order. The reduction
of the maximum rate of commission to 10
per cent has worked much good no the busi-
ness.
The annual report of the committee on in-
cendarism and arson, showed that there were
lis subscribing companies, whose united
subscriptions amounted to Sl41 PA. During
the wear AS rewards were offered by the pro-
visonal committee, amounting TO S4S, POO,
and of which ten rewards were paid amount
ing to S2700. by means of which the convic-
tion of II ncendiaries were secured.
The capital of American companies re-
ported to the New York insurance depart
ment for 1882, decreased 81, 1913, ,512; the
dividends, SAP, 700. The premiums have
increased 81, 07S, 1856, and the losses have
increased 81 .s02, ,l42.
The percentage of losses has increased
from 50 % to 56 81, while the expenses have
gone up from 80. .63 to 80 62. Foreign companies
show an increase OF S5.770, 702 in premiums,
with an increase in losses of 81, ,S11 ,406. The
grand total shows an increase of 1914, Is

A Comprehensive Scheme.

Certain Englishmen have devised vast
and comprehensive scheme for the benefit of
commerce, the tultilment Of prophecy, and
the revival of the prosperity of Palestine
As Is well known, the River Jordan and the
Dead Sea are situated below the level of the
Mediterranean. 1t is now proposed to dig a
ship canal through the Plain of Esdralon,
admitting the Mediterranean to the valley of
the Jordan at point a little south of the Sea
Of Galilee. This will convert the whole
Jordan Valley into n vast lake from ten to
thirty miles wide, and will enable engineers
to connect the Dead Sea with the Arabian
Gulf. thus furnishing a new waterway from
Europe to India, and rendering the Suez
Canal an effete and useless ditch.
At the same time a Hebrew prophecy,
which is interpreted As meaning that the des-
ert EAST of the Jordan shall at some time be
covered with water. will be fulfilled, to the
utter confusion of the Rev. Heber Newton
and other heretics. Moreover. the new lake
will give an impetus to manufactures and
trade in Palestine. A short railway will con-
meet Jerusalem with the Jordan Lake, and it
is thought that with the establishment Of a
shoe factory on the site of the Temple. a
boiler shop on Mount Calvary, and tannery
near the Pool of Saloam, Jerusalem can be
made n sort of Oriental Manchester. Strong
hopes are entertained that petroleum can be
"struck" at Bethlehem, and that Jericho can
De made great pork-packing centre. With
all these arguments in favor of the great
"Prophetic and Industrial Jordan Land
Scheme" one can hardly doubt that it will
attract the money of investors and become a
grand success
As for those people who think that the holy
places should not be made the sight of man
ufactories; that Capernaum and Nazareth
should not be buried under an artificial lake,
and that the present inhabitants of Palestine
would have any right to object to being
drowned out by an inundstion from the Med
iterranean, they are hardly worthy of atten-
tion. The one thing in life that is of any i'm
portance is trade, and if the tenth of a cent
per ton could be saved in canal tolls by bury
ing all Palestine under the sea, of course it
should be done. no matter if every man and
woman unenlightened and unsanctified by
participation in commerce should object to it,.

Judge Savary, at Digby, N. S, gave judg-

under the act, and told him, as he was requir
ed to do by law, that he had Is days to apply
for his discharge under the habeas corpus. Al
ter that-time expires he will be taken to the
States. The judge did not hesitate to say
that he had the gravest doubts as to the pris

the judge from the opening of the case TO its
close. The judge exhibited an enmity toward
