LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS.
An Insurance Experts Figuring on Thei
 Expectation of Life.

Expectation of Life.
 The Washington correspondent of The Times Herald has interviewed life insur- ance agent on the comparative longevity of presidents of the United States. This expert finds that the average age at inauguration was 56 years, the average expectation of life F years and the &C., tual after life only fl years. From this he reasons that the presidential office Is becoming too heavy burden for any man to assume without almost certain shortening of his lHe.'' This expert is especially wrought up over what he thinks Is the startling contrast between the lon gevity of the early presidents and the later ones, and he is led to fear that he will nev- CT again "see a president survive the full period of his natural expectation"
 The table which this expert has prepared Is of more interest and value than his croakings and is well worth studying. II is as follows:
