BIG INSURANCE BUSINESS.
Industrial Companies That Do Bust
ness Running Up Into the
49,. Billions,

Thirty-three years ago, New YORK
insurance mans attention was attract
ed one day by rather derogatory refer
ence In the Massachusetts insurance re-
port to the work OF an English company
which was insuring the lives OF work
ingmen and children on large scale.
To-day, says the Chicago Chronicle,
that man is president of one Of three
similar companies which stand pledged
to pay In the future more than $1,000
600 900 to more than 10000 900 Of peo-
pie; which are disbursing 100000 a
week to the policy holders in sums aver
aging perhaps 800; which have assets
stored up OF nearly $4,000, 900, and.
most notable OF all, which collect by
hand S250,000 In ten-cent pieces. Such
a growth within the working life OF one
man is amazing even in this age OF in
dustrial miracles, and an examination
of its details heightens the wonder.
Strangely enough, though one family
out OF every five in the United States
has one or more industrial policies on
some member, the average well-in-
formed man knows nothing whatever
about the system or it's workings. But
ask your household servants, and the
chances are you will find that at least
one of them is paying ten cents a week
to a company which guarantees her
800 or 50 in case of death-enough to
pay for the funeral expenses. This was
the foundation principle of industrial
insurance and is still the dominant
reason for its existence-the avoidance
Of burial at public expense or of
leaving a burden of debt upon ones
family. The average cost of burial for
child under two years is from $12 to
s25; the average insurance on children
between one and two years old is
S19.48. At the age of ten the average
funeral expenses is $50, the average
Industrial policy Is 1894.
From this initial idea, however. the
business has developed cash divi-
dends" and ''paid-up policies" until
now its payments OF claims alone
amount to $25,O00,0OO a year in sums
ranging from $15 to $1,000.

Electricity In ERvpt-

A consular report quoting from a
leading German trade paper, says the
Imports OF electrical. telegraphic. tele-
phonic, etc. apparatus into Egypt dur
Ing the years 1901 1902 and 1903 were
valued at about $4,000. $4,000 and
sSSss00, respectively. OF these Great
Britain led with the lions share each
year. The writer, commenting on the
foregoing. advises anyone wishing to
sell to Egyptians TO establish repre-
sentatives of the first class in Cairo
and Alexandria.

EUROPE IN OUR MARKET.
Wonderful Absorbtive Power Of the
Old World for American
Products.

In an article In Worlds Work on
''What Europe Means to U.s. J. D. Whelp-
ley says:
Always buying more than It sells,
lending more than 1t borrows, and In
every way apparently giving more than
1t takes, Europe's constantly increasing
population, wealth and power, form a
mystery, for they are the most wonder
ful and fascinating OF all economic phe-
nomena.
The United States has population OF
22 to the square mile In the last 100
years Europe has sent 10000 900 people
TO the United States and other new coun-
tries, and yet to-day has population of
l03 to the square mile, or nearly twice as
many as when this emigration began. In
the meantime wages have increased.
wealth has piled up, trade has quad
rupled and the purchasing power OF the
people OF Europe has more than kept
pace with all these advances
Even to estimate the annual domes-
tic exchanges of Europe Is beyond the
reach of Ineligible figures. The for
be determined with more or less accu-
racy, however, and its amounts, 000,-
100000, annually-conveys an idea Of the
tide OF commerce that flows through this
heart OF the world.
The imports OF these IS countries
amount to $4,000, 900 900, the exports to
$4,000, 100000 showing an excess of pur-
chases over sales amounting to $1,000
OO0,OOO. The imports from abroad, mean
Ing from countries other than European
are to supply European deficiencies, and
these are largely of food and raw mate
rails.
About IS per cent. OF the total exports
from the United States are OF agricul-
tural products, though much of this
might be regarded as manufactured
goods because many agricultural prod
ucts are put through manufacturing
processes Roughly speaking, the
American people sell $500, 000, 900 worth
OF such products year TO foreign buy
ers Nearly 80 per cent goes to Europe
hence about -fifths Of the American
goods sent TO Europe supply food and
raw material
American products feed the opera
uVes in European mills and factories
who are making goods for all the world
They provision the foreign ships which
carry the worlds commerce. and keen
down the cost OF living in Europe by sup
plementing the comparatively scanty
supply OF homegrown foods. These ag-
rieultural products OF America are now
30 necessary 10 Europeans that they are
admitted without serious restrictions TO
nearly all European markets"
