President Equitable Eats Life great returns to
men who have the courage, persever-
ance. tact, hopefulness, up-to-date
methods, and ability requisite to build
up a life insurance clientelage. There
is a considerable number of men in

than is paid to the president OF the
United States. The income of few IS
nearly double the presidents salary.
Almost without exception, these men
began with no capital but brains and
energy. OF course, they have excep-
tional qualities, the chief of which are
energy. will power and common sense.
Hardly any Of them can be said to have
unusually brilliant minds, and very
few of them are college graduates. But
they know the world and know men.
They have confidence in themselves,

LIFE INSURANCE SOLICITING
AS AN UP-TO-DATE BUSINESS
There Is Plenty Of Room at the Bot
LONESOME interesting Facts by
Jas. w. Alexander, in Success"

In the other professions, 1t Is SAID
that there is plenty of room at the top.
In life insurance, there is plenty OF
room at the bottom; that is, for young
fellows just beginning. To one man who
is insured for his life, there are many
who might be. Even in New York city,
where there are more agents in proper
ton to population than anywhere else
in this country, not one-tenth OF the
field is covered. It is a field that
keeps constantly renewing itself.
Young men who are taking upon them
selves the responsibilities of married
life need life insurance, and can be
convinced of the fact. Men who are
already insured almost always take
out larger policies as their incomes
grow. Thus an agent obtains cliente-
lage which Is a continuing source OF in
come to him.
The time is past for regarding life
insurance soliciting as a temporary oc-
cupation. None but men who are sure
that the fed offers them a complete
career and adequate reward tor their

work, they are given it when possible.
Nothing is left undone that will help
the agents, for they are, of coursenthe
bone and sinew of the company. We
are all workers together for a COM
mon end. If, in addition to ability as
field worker, a man has executive abll-
ity, he may achieve position in the in
surance business Of unusually large re-
wards and great power. He may be-
come, first, a general manager-that
is, the manager of certain district,
directing the work of all the agents
therein. These places are much
sought for, as the general agent usual
ly receives a commission on the re-
turns of all agents under him, and has
an excellent vantage ground for the
writing of a very large personal busi-
ness. There are, Of course, various
grades of districts, the best men work
ing up to the control Of the most re-
muuerative ones. The man who re-
CARDS the work as a makeshift is the
one who fails.
An agent must be able, to some ex-
tent. to direct and mold the mind OF
the prospect" who has not been edu.
Gated up to the insurance idea. To ac-
complish this, it is obvious that he
must inspire confidence and possess a
personality of sufficient force to give
his words weight. The men who have
won the remarkable success in the in
surance field go beyond this. They
are always enthusiastic and optimist-
ic; and. as surely as burning flame
will light a match, they communicate
their enthusiasm to others.
l believe that any man OF average
ability, industry and strength Of char
acter can attain, in the insurance busi-
ness, an entirely satisfactory position
ia life. The calling is one, above all
others, that has the latchstring out for
young men who are beginning life
without special advantages, who are
entering the battle, not in automobiles
or carriages, or in push carts, with
relatives or friends behind, but afoot.
AS l have indicated, they need not
have money, nor a higher education.
They need not sit in Offices, waiting for
business, while expenses are running
on. They need not drift. There is
plenty for them to do. The older pro-
fessions are, undoubtedly, greatly over
crowded. We are overburdened with
lawyers, doctors, and clergymen.
There are not enough fees ito go
around, and an undue proportion suffer
the pangs of failure.

And then sat down and wondered why;
He saw not where he had been wrong,
Nor where fair chances had slipped by.
All that he dill was sit and gaze
Upon the hopes strcwn round him there
And wonder on through all his days
Why fate had marked him for despair.
Another failed and stepped aside
And saw the causes OF his woe
He saw Where efforts msapplied
Had aided chance to bring him low
And, taking note OF all the past,
And turning into newer ways,
He tried again and filed at last
The hopes OF all his eager days.

The sea is great denuding agent;
but its work is more constructive than

nearly all the stratified rocks have

currents continually bring in fresh

Of miles.
The temperature of the earth Is es'
timated to be at least 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit at a depth of so miles,
and in many places comparatively
high temperatures are found very
near the surface. The utilization of
this heat is one OF the great problems
row in the minds Of engineers. With
the direct and economical conversion
of heat into electricity on large
scale, which is looked for in the near
future, the earth's hot spots should
become important manufacturing cen

AS the result of studies on New Jer=
sey mosquitoes last summer, Professor
John B. Smith of Rutgers college says
long distances from their breeding
PLACE, but on favorable evenings large
swarms rise and arc carried during
the night by winds. The direction in
which they go is often seaward:
Swarms have been met Is miles from
the shore, ard they are common five
miles from shore. Migration of mos
quitoes, with the aid of the winds.
Professor Smith regards as of much
Importance, and as rendering the con-
troll Of the mosquito nuisance state
rather than a local affair. The Ano-
pheles mosquitoes continue to breed
long after frost has set in, and even a
covering of ice on ponds is not fatal
to their larvae and pupae.
Some of the meteorites that fall
upon the earth possess a peculiar
structure, indicating that they have
more than once been in molten con-
dition. DR.. Berwerth of Vienna con.
cluies, as the result of his studies
of this class of meteorites, that they
came originally from volcano situat-
ed in some distant part of space, but
that before reaching the Garth they
were subjected to great heat which
metamorphosed their structure. TO
explain this he suggests THAT In the
course Of their celestial journey they
may have passed through the atmos'
phere of a sun, or may have been
fused through the sudden birth OF a
new and neighboring star The heat
developed during their fall through
our atmosphere is not sufficient to
explain the changes that they have
undergone.
