CURRENCY Is INSURED

Sender Now Protected Against Los.
When He Ships Money.
Money is now sent everywhere in
single packages containing $4,000 or
less, under policies of insurance pro-
tecting the owners against every DOS
sible hazard, at rates varying from 10
to 80 cents per $1,000 Of currency in
sured. Most of the notes are S., $40
and $50 denominations, besides sup
plies Of 81 and 81 for use as "hand-to-
hand money" for crop movement pur-
poses.
These transfers go to all sections of
the United States, Canada, Great Brit.
ain and to continental points, says the
New York Post. The business has now
grown to large proportions and is writ.

companies in Europe and America.
One very Interesting claim paid few
days ago was for the loss of parcel
containing $2,7O0 in bank notes ship
ped through the mails by a Canadian
institution. The destination was a
small postoffice, where the business
was SO light that the postmaster, not
having the use of safe in which to
store valuables, was forced to take
home every night unde,ivered register.
ed mail that arrived during the day.
The package of bank notes was taken
out of the Office in this way, and lust
before the postmaster reached home he
was attacked by footpads and relieved
of the money. The loss was immedi-
ately reported and the insurance com.
pany at once reimbursed the institu-
ton, at the same time offering $500 re-
ward for the detection of the thief.
The case has not been cleared up vet.
Packages containing $4,000 of in
sured bank notes were on the train
that went through bridge in South

derwrlters were much concerned over
the incident until they discovered that
the car in which the insured packages
were stored remained safe on the

Erromango is one Of the larger is
lands of the New Hebrides, from
which were formerly brought large
quantities of sandalwood. The care
lessness Of the natives in protecting
the forests reduced the product, until
now there Is very little valuable wood
on the island. Rev. H. A. Robertson,
in .'Erromango the Martyr Isle" gives
a brief history Of the sandalwood
trade.
The Erromangans for generations
used the sandalwood as they would
any other, for fuel, and had no idea
of Its value until foreigners came and
asked for 1t. The only price that was
at first given was small bit of hoop
iron, from three to four inches in
length, and this for a great boat load
of wood. The savages were greatly
taken with the iron, for by sharpening
it on stone and fastening 1t to
piece of wood they made themselves
rough, light hatchets. Before that they
had nothing but their ancient imple-
ments Of stone with which TO work.
Netai, the great chief Metal, Of
Cooks Bay, used to delight to tell me
of the olden times on Erromango, and
how slow were the methods Of cutting
trees for their houses and canoes.
Every tree had to be burned at the
base, and when that was done there
still remained the slow work OF hack
ing with stone axes to sever 1t from the
stump. Such was the early Erroman-
gan method Of hewing wood, and the
sandalwood had to be cut in this way.
The ships carried great lengths of
hoop-iron bound together. Amid the
babble of voices from swarms of
naked, painted savages clamoring for
their pay, and the confusion and shout
ings that arose as the huge logs were
swung into place, there could be heard
the click Of the hammer as it struck
the anvil; the iron was being cut into
the coveted lengths.
After the logs were burned and cut
down, they were carried to the bay
on mems shoulders. The biggest logs

mountain tracks.
At the present time the sandalwood
tree, once so plentiful, is fast disap-
pearing, and there is little to remind
one that sandalwood once grew on
every hill and clustered in every val
ley Of Brromango.
In appearance the bark, which is
rough and Of light-brown color, is
somewhat like that Of the cherry Tree.
The narrow leaves, which are Of a
rich green tint and smooth, shiny sur
face, are not more than three inches
in length. There is no odor until the
tree is cut, and the young limbs have
none at all. 1t is said that unless the
bark Is removed the wood loses the
sweet scent and becomes valueless. 1t
Is almost impossible now to secure a
fairly good specimen. .Intertribal wars,
as well as the traders, have helped to
destroy the tree, and the habit that
natives have of setting fire to every
thing and anything has nearly complet-
ed the ruin,
