RAISE THE RATES.
Insurance Companies Will Demand
an Increase Jan. I.

Life insurance circles throughout the coun-
try are just now in the throes of an agitation
for revised and increased premium rates, and
several of the large companies have an
nounced the change, to take fleet Jan L next.
The proposed increase is slight, amounting
to less than per cent at the age of 80. The
reason assigned for the increase is the decline
in interest rates, and the adoption OF re,
serve standard based upon 31a instead or
per cent
The companies say that this action is prac-
tically forced upon them by reason of the
fact that money for investment today COM
mands a much lower rate of interest than
it did years ago, when the old standard was
adopted, and that the only prudent thing for
them to do is to reduce the rate OF interest
on their valuations. They say there Is no
reason for fear for long time to come OF
any marked reduction in the rates obtain
able on the funds now invested, or that there
will be any future necessity to strengthen
the basis of reserve on existing business. me
change will be made simply with reference
to new business. Any favorable change IN
financial conditions will result in increased
dividends to policy holders.

An Old Record.

Some of the antiquities of this coun-
try which find their way into the mu-
seums are rivaled in age by a living crea-
ture at the Zoo. 1t is an alligator terra
pin, or Mississippi snapper, whose $50
pounds of substance have been accum-
ulated in lifetime of five centuries or
more. At least, that is what the scten-
fists calculate, and they say that there
is no reason to doubt that is was pad
ding around as a little turtle in the Mis-
sissippi when De Soto first gazed upon
the river. The giant terrapin measures
about five feet from snout to tip of
tail, and during it's residence at the Zoo
it has grown not particle. 1t is too
lazy to move about much, and SO nature
has endowed it with special facilities for
catching food. When hungry it lies in
the water with its mouth wide open, and
the bright little red tongue looks so
much like worm that it serves as bait
to attract fish, on which the terrapin
feeds.-Philadelphi Record
