FRAUD ON LIFE COMPANIES.
Scheme Worked Successfully by a Cir
Who Counterfeited Death.

A fraud scheme at the expense OF
life insurance companies was carried
out three times succef sfully as long
ago as 1870. A young woman with an
extraordinary power of Stimulating
death had for a confederate an elder.
ly man, who passed for her uncle.
Twice in different parts of England
she insured her life in her uncle's ia
vor, went into commissions and to all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was In financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as 1t
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit. The company,
therefore, agreed to write the insur-
ance under a bond Of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see. Her uncle was pros
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur-
ance for some months and when he
did the company paid him in full with
expressions of real sympathy. So did
nine other companies, which he had
silenced by the same ruse, and he

While Miss Passee was speaking
Tommy had carefully placed the clock

mysterious gesture he laid his finger
on his lips and enjoined silence. No

LAY EGGS IN INCHES.
Sea Birds Have Scheme That Does
Away With Nests.

photographer, writes in the Country
Calendar of his experience on Three
Arch Rocks. off the Oregon coast, as
follows:
by far the commonest birds on
the rocks are the California INJURIES.
They nest up and down the sides Of
the cliff. wherever the ragged rock
furnishes footing. There is not the
least sign of a nest. but the single
egg is deposited wherever there is a
niche to keep it from dropping into
the sea. The peculiar top shape of
the murres egg is unique device
to keep it from rolling. The practical
value of this can be seen every day
on the sloping edges. We tried sew
'eral experiments with these eggs. and
found they were of such taper that not
one rolled over the edge. When they
were started down grade, they did
not roll straight, but swung around
like a top and came to standstill
four or five inches down. The eggs
were gh-shelled. and a sharp push
sent one only about nine inches be-
fore 1t whirled around on its vertical
axis"
