That's because you are ursoplfisticated,

from the back country "IVhat is fpan-

tEoughtfully, 'it is rather difficult to make

HE may be or he may not OF course a
successful business man is likely to know
something about financiering methods. but
1t is seldom that he is the real thing He
thinks he is until the genuine article comes
along, and then he sees his mistake"
"How about the successful banker?"
"He is more likely to be fnancier but

haps, however, / can illustrate the prevail.
ing idea of fnancier so that you will
grasp it,"
"Go ahead"
The man of the world gave a moment or
two to deep thought and then cleared his
throat and undertook to make the matter
clear.
Suppose" he said, ''you were young
man just starting out in life and l were
watching to see whether you developed
the instincts and business sagacity of a
fnancier or only ranked up with the ordi-
nary business man.
"Supposition accepted" continued the un-
sophisticated one "Let her slide"
Suppose. starting out in a modest way
you wanted to borrow 500, and You went to
a man who had it to spare and stated your
needs frankly suggesting at the same time
that YOU had ample security to offer for the

"Well?"
"Well, that would be business, but no
financiering. He would ask what security
You had, and il it proved sufficient he would
advance the money and take the collateral,
charging you interest at the rate of about
per cent. Them, when the time came to
settle you would have to walk up to the
captains office and lay down the cash or
you would lose your security"
THAT seems like a fair DEAL" suggested
the man from the country.
"lt is fair DEAL" answered the man of
the world, "but you were not asking about
fair deals. You were asking about financier-

way could not be called a financier by any
stretch of the imagination"
The man from the country nodded to show
that he was beginning to understand, and
waited for the other to go on
"Suppose," continued the man of the

CAUTION AS TO USE OF CALCIUM
CARBIDE BY INSURERS
FINANclERlNo EXPLAINED
Dividend Notes-Welsbach Light
Stock-New Plate Glass Com
pact-Bank Consolidation
OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, Nov. %, 1898.

Edward Atkinson, president OF the Bos-
ton Manufacturers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, has the following to say regard
ing acetylene and other new methods of
lighting.
''When the alleged economy of illuminat-
lng gas made from carbide of calcium was
first presented TO the public in a very spec
uative form a complete investigation be-
came necessary OH the part of this company.
"A new mill was about to be fitted for light
ing. The terms and conditions were stated
to the manufacturers of electric apparatus
and to the promoters of the use of acetylene
gas in such form that absolute and final es-
Inmates became necessary in regard to the
latter lest by refusal an appearance of de-
ception should be made plain. The figures
then proved that on any proposal which the
promoters of acetylene gas were then ready
to make, the cost of lighting the proposed
factory would be greater than by the appica-
tion Of electric energy. That ended the prob
lciu so far as the risks of this company are
concerned. Shortly after the excessive
danger of acetylene gas was made very ap-
parent and for time nothing was heard
OF it. AT the present time there appears to
DC another effort to promote the introduc
ton of acetylene gas, which has not been
called to the attention of this company by
the application of any member, but certain
other uses of carbide of calcium have been
suddenly discovered in some of our in
sured premises, introduced without notice
to this company and in apparent ignorance
OF the danger in handling this material Our
inspections disclosed the fucts and the right
precautions to guard this company against
loss or damage from this cause have been
taken. 1t may happen that other uses or
applications of carbide of calcium will be
Presented.
The purpose of this caution is to call upon
each and all of our members not to make
use either of carbide of calcium or Of acety-
lene gas without full advsement and consul
tation at the time the proposed application
is to be made. 1t may happen that the uses
OF these materials may be made safe. AT
present they are not deemed So Therefore,
the introduction of either, without the CON
sent of the underwriters, would make an
alteration in the condition of the risk not
contemplated in the original contract. An
other method of lighting with kerosene oil
converted into gas in very ingenious man
ner has been called to our attention. 1t has
been somewhat urgently presented to sew
eral members, who have been cautioned not
to experiment with it. We do not give the
name or reference on this matter because
there are elements of merit in the process.
as yet accompanied by danger winch cam
not be tolerated in any textile factory or
in any factory where a sudden v ume of
flame, Unexpectedly generated. would set
fire to light particles of any material 1t is
therefore again suggested that no new
method of lighting shall be permitted even
for experiment, without consultation
