ANTIQUITY OF INSURANCE.
The Marine Branch Came First and
Dates Back to the Caesa-
rian Period.

Marine insurance dates back to tha
time of the Caesars, Claudius Caesar
having been the first to insure vessels,
states the New York Herald.
During famine he issued proc
lamation that all vessels engaged IN the
carriage of foodstuffs meeting with an
accident would be replaced by the state
and by so doing largely increased IND
feet of merchant vessels.
The Jews had some system OF lnsur'
ance from early times, as did the Greeks
while the Romans must have intro
duced the idea into Britain. since N
1901 an English statute says:-it hath
been TYNE and out of mynd, an usage
amongst mechanics, both OF this realm
and furrain nacyones, when they mak'
any good adventure to give some con
sideration of money to other persons q
have assurance made OF all tnei
goodies"
Fire insurance was the outcome OF tn
marine insurance, and life insurance oil

# is possible to have almost any sor
of insurance. the latest being the lorna

Spectator
During an exceptionally heavy trop-

Only a few weeks ago 1t was an
nounced to the world that vaccination
was not a new thing, but that, on the
contrary, it had been known ages ago
to the natives of India 1t was Lord
Amphill who made the claim for the
antiquity of cowpox incubation. His
lordship quoted as his authority pas
sage from book by Dhawantaria, the
greatest of the ancient physicians, In
which vaccination was clearly de-
scribed. Now, however, it is said that
this passage was merely an interpola-
ton. The British Medical Journal tells
the following story Of it:
According to Sir John Malcolm, a
well-known Scotch surgeon, on the in
PRODUCTION of vaccine incubation into
India the practice met with great op
position from the natives. In order tt
overcome their prejudices Mr.. Ellis. O
Madras. who was well versed in Sanskri
literature, composed short poem OF
vaccination in that language.
This poem was inscribed on old pape

ties of the south. He described the
country as the finest possible, and with
the development now in progress. and
the boom that would come when the
Isihmian canal was completed, there
were ample reasons for visions OF
transcendent glory. Every vegetable
product could probably be produced
within its bounds. great variety OF
