The I'D annual report of the Yer
mont Mutual Fire Insurance Com

ly heavy fire waste in Vermont dur
ing the past year. During the last
half OF July alone more than 60light-
ming losses we're reported. All have
been adjusted or closely esti-
mated so that all the losses and ex-
penses of the company are provided
for by the regular 4 per cent annual

sued IL ,479 policies during the year.
1t has now at risk $51, 1888, $40, with

losses were unusually heavy. About
$4,000 of this surplus has been
used this year.
The total assessments of the CON-

A SEA sERPENT DELUSI0N.
Had 1t Not Been for a Handy Tele-
scope All Hands Would Have
sworn to 1t.

Many persons have professed to have
seen sea serpents, and, while the gen.
eral belief is that there are no such
creatures, it is quite likely that those
who claim to have seen them did not
see things which they honestly and
very naturally believed to be sea SER
pents. A striking example of the man
ner in which persons may be deceived
in this matter has just been given by
DR.. r. du Bois-Raymond in paper, in
which he describes his experiences on
board of the Scraps in October, 1890.
1t was rather a foggy morning, and
the water was as smooth as glass. The
vessel was going through the Magellan
straits, and the hours possed monot-
onously, until suddenly the passengers
noticed an extraordinary object in the
water some distance away. at oncs
the cry arose that it could be nothing
but sea serpent and indeed there
seemed to be excellent ground for this
statement, since the object was cer-
tainly alive, and as it moved through
he water presented all the appearance
of an immense snake. That it had a
huge head was clear to everyone, and
that it was possessed of an enormous
body was manifest from the manner in
which it splashed the water on all
sides.
A powerful telescope was procured
and the uncanny object was studied
through it. Then its true character
was at once revealed. Instead Of be-
ing sea serpent it was simply herd
Of sea lions. The animals were clps-
tered close together, and as they gam
boled and moved through the water
they certainly presented the appear
anee Of long and bulky snake. II

1t is only possible at present to col
iect data from the duration of lives OF
birds in captivity; evidence otherwise
must be unreliable, and 1t Is purely a
matter of theory as to whether the un-

that under the unnatural conditions Of
captivity. There are records Of a
nightingale having lived 25 years, a
thrush II, a blackbird that was still
alive at 201s, goldfinch %, and sky
1arks of "a and 20. Ravens, owls and
cockatoos are popularity supposed to
live to a very great age. and the fol-
lowing record appears to be authentic:
Raven, so; gray parrot, 50 and 40; blue

OVER SMALLPOX.
sIodsrn Medicine HAS Had Its Greatest
Triumph,

Triumph.
The greatest triumph OF modern
medicine and of the most valuable re-
suits Of science itself has been the
practical conquest of smallpox. one Of
the most terrible scourges OF humanity,
by vaccination. 1t Is almost ineonceiy-
able to the reader Of the present day
that during the latter portion Of the
last century the average of deaths
from smallpox was about $4,000 per
million. The average mortality now
among vaccinated people is per cent.
1t must, of course, be admitted that
progress in sanitation has had some
thing to do with this enormous reduc-
tion OF mortality. Still, innumerable
examples, both here and abroad, and
more especially in Germany, where the
disease has almost been stamped out
by compulsory vaccination and reVac-
cination, clearly proves that the con-
tention that this is specific against
smallpox. Among most modern OF
medical triumphs we must count the
discovery Of antitoxin first. Before this
discovery the death rate from diph-
iberia averaged 80 per cent, and some
times rose to go. This has now been
reduced to a minimum OF 8 and max
imum Of per cent If the treatment is
begun soon enough.
