INSURED FOR A MILLION.
Heirs Of Grain King Peavey Will
Receive Huge Sum.

Receive Huge Sum.
One million dollars will shortly be
paid by the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York to the heirs Of
Frank II. Peavey Of Minneapolis,
! millionaire grain man, who died re-
Gently in Chicago of pneumonia. says
the New York Herald. Mr.. Peavey
was fifty-two years old and was cred
tied with being the largest owner of
grain elevators in the world. He had
been i'll only ten days.
On April %, 1900, Mr.. Peavey was
insured in the Mutual Life Insurance
company for $1,00OOOO, taking out
twenty year payment policy. The an
nual premium was $4S,390, and as Mr..
Peaveys death occurred just one year,
eight months and two days after the
policy was issued only two payments,
amounting to $96,7S0, had been made.
i Through Mr.. Peavey's death his estate
lis therefore increased by 5000, 900.
Shortly before Mr.. Peavey took out
the million dollar policy he was exam
hled by a special medical board under
LINZ ulCCtlOll VI III lCHNlIIC AAs w AllSS
the chief medical director of the COM
pany. After painstaking examina-
ton the board reported the applicant
in perfect health.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Peavey was in
New York and visited the home office
of the company in Nassau street. One
of the officers said that he then APP
peared to be in the most robust health.
being Il, splendid specimen of physical
manhood. In response to query con-
d, corning his health Mr.. Peavey replied,
II am enjoying my usual good health
and fully anticipate living until the ex-
piration of my million dollar policy in
1920"
Insurance companies rarely assume
such large risks upon an individual
/ life. George ". Vanderbilt IS known,
however, to have policy Tor $1,000
900 in the Mutual. In talIng such risks
, the company always reihsures part
of the amount in other cd npanies, thus
diminishing it's own risk. Foreign
companies frequently ASSUME part of
this risk, and by the dealt, of Mr.. Pea
vey several such comp1nies will be
called upon to settle their part of the
million dols. policy.
In Chic;fP it was LEAH ned that Mr..
Peavey, in addition to the million dollar
policy, carried 100000 ON his life in
various companies, the policies rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 His estate,
it is said, is valued at $10,0O0,0OO.

The Peking Gazette. speaking Of Chi
nese in foreign lands. says:
eve dress and speak differently from
foreigners, just as foreigners do who
come to China. But nobody in the
streets cells us Chinese devils The
children in the streets wish to see how
long our cues are, but the police,
seeing them annoy us, scatter them.
When We go into shop to buy any

consideration than their own people.
We enter their homes. it is the same.

Ltvht Without Sirht.

We can perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis
turbance at that center of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, we
shall then see light and sparks. If
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mu
tilated In any way. we should see q
brilliant flash Of light, though without
any sensation Of pain. And so it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not nee
essarily by sound, so as to reach its
center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound How many ghosts might not
be destroyed in this way?-Chambers

the Rev. Father George de la Motto,

This discovery is of immense value
and interest to anthropologists and
strongly confirms long believed theo-

from the north to their hunting
grounds on this continent. displacing

and that, furthermore, they originally

We do not speak the English Ian
