STATEMENT.

TNHE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by Tie
Society to the public, report:-
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms OF assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine pU.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on q Tontine pO-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Lie, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event OF death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount Of premiums paid by policy-
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incOntestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
| kind of assurances, which is q consider.
| able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as
sUrance is effected.
| Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
Just; its accounts are accurately kept
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciOusly invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
Zation transacted larger amount Of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O,0OO,0OO; over $4,000
600 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

An Asia Minor Curiosity.

The recent destruction of the beauti.

opposite to ColosR which was built on
the slope of the Khonos mountains, and
to Deniz,i O.ospolis on NJ unit Cadmus.
First seen from the opposite mountains,
some twenty miles off, it looked like

that it was formed by hot springs OF sui.

springs descend arc the ruins of temple

The holy hot bath which stood in tho

beneath its deep, clear, blue waters can
still lie seen many iluted column and

from which vapor issues fatal to ami.

cut to Puto's internal realms. Not far
off is ruined fountain and cistern, near

the whole town with that necessary of

The tall spirc, conveying to the MIND
mn idea Of immcasurabe height, and
seeming to fade away III q point, is, per
haps, the most perfectly beautiful cxter-
nal feature of the pointed or Christian
styles of architecture to which it prop.
crly belongs. In all age, and countries
there has been an apparent tendency to
carry buildings to as great height as
possible, and hence have originated the
various architectural forms Of pyramids
and obcllsks, towers in endless variety,
domcs Of various shapes-clas>ic, Byzan-
tine and Saracenc-the ,ninnrcts of tho
east and tall monumental pillars; but
the spire, obvious as it, form seems in it
pure simplicity, was unknown in archi-
lecture till toward the end OF the 18th
century. There have been many dis.
cussiona, somewhat Improbable, though
interesting, as to the source whence the
mcdiacval builders drew their first ideas
of the pointed arch and spire, anl gen.
eral opinion has apparently settled to the
conclusion that the pointed arch was
simultaneously suggested to the various
nations of Europe by the sight of the
Saracen:c arch during the crusades. II
this were really so, it must be added
that the Christian builders improved so
vastly upon any hints they may have re.
ceved from the cast that all traces Of
such origin rapidly disappeared. Tho
spirc, however, Is purely scf-cnvolved
feature, which orig mated in the general
tendency of pointed architecture, CON-
pletely independent of external hints or
examples. Among other supnositions il
has been said that the form of the spire
might have been suggested BIZ the pyra.

so many points of dissimilarity between
these objects and the true spire that it is
