THE NEW ZEALAND WAY.
Life Insurance as 1t Is Conducted In
the Antipodean Islands.

the Antipodeau Islands.
In PARKWAY New Zealand the gov
eminent conducts a life insurance de-
partment which not only offers its
policies at a low premium, but has the
security of the State behind it as its
guarantee to investors. BY open com
petition with individual concerns 1t
from keeping up excessive rates, and
there are no high salaried officials to
absorb the annual receipts.
1t is an ideal theory. In America an
insurance of $4,000, which may cost a
person who has arrived at middle age
$500 annually, in New Zealand may be
obtained for one-third that expense
In america legislative inquiry has al
ready thrown so much light upon the
complex and devious management Of
the insurance business that distrust
of the whole system has become gen
eral. In New Zealand the entire re-
sponsibility is borne by the colonial
government. There can never be any
failure uulll the country becomes
bankrupt. The first illustration is that
of the government life insurance build
ing at Wellington, while the second
shows the postofice in the same city.
Governmental life insurance is by no
means the only New Zealand institu-
ton from which America might take
pattern profitably. One of the fairest
and most logical remedial measures
ever tried in the colony and one which
has proved its usefulness from the
very moment of its adoption is the
workman's compensation for acct
dent" act The principle upon which
the measure was instituted was based
on the assumption that 1t is neither by
the wish nor by the conduct of either
employer or employee that accidents
happen, but that in spite Of that fact a
steady percentage Of accidents occurs.
They are thus incidental to production
and the business which yields the prof

WEALTH OF FARMS
REPORT OF SECRETARY WILSUN
OF AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
Farms Produced $6,415, ooo, ooo-stu.
pendous Sum the Record for Any
Country for Single Year-Aericul-
ture in United States Shows Marvel.
Gus Wealth of Nation.

Wealth production on the farms of
the United States in 1905 reached the
highest amount ever attained in tn s
or any other country-$6,4 AIS 900, 900"
In the first annual report of his third
term Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
presents an array of figures and a
statement representing the products
and profits of the farmers of this coun-
try, which he admits dreams of
wealth production could hardly equal."
Four crops make new high records
as to value-corn, hay, wheat and rice
although in amount of production
the corn crop is the only one that ex-
ceeds previous yields. In every crop
the general level Of production was
high and that of prices still higher.
Besides the enormous yield of
wealth, the secretary estimates that
the farms of the country have in
creased in value during the past five
years to present aggregate of $685.
600, 900
Every sunset during the past five
years he says, has registered an in
crease of $3,400000 in the value of the
farms of this country"
This increased value, the secretary
suggests, is invested better than in
bank deposits and gilt edged bonds of
private corporations.
The method of handling crop re-
ports, he says, has been thoroughly
renovated during the year. There also
has been a decided change in the
methods of work prescribed for field
agents. Each agent is now confined
to a definite group of states, with
which it becomes thoroughly familiar
by travel each month.
Analysing the principal crops for the
year, the secretary says that corn
reached its highest production at
2,708,000,000 bushels, a gain of 42,000,-
00O bushels over the next highest year,
1899; hay is second in order of value,
although cotton held second place dur
ing the two preceding years.
The hay crop this year is valued at
$6O5,000,000.

Sold to Canada.

The United States sold to Canada
last year exports to the value of $780,
OO0. 900. This amount constituted more
than 90 per cent of the whole Canadian
imports, and it was only IL per cent
of the exports of the United States.
Six alleged craftsmen were arrested
by the police at Butte in a saloon in
the tende"loin district on suspicion of
being a gang of yeggmen who have
dvramited four safes. All of the men
have police records. One, Joseph
Sprick. said to be the leader, is con-
ceded to be one of the cleverest sate
robbers in the country. He halls from
Chicago. The other men hail from

PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE.
Inventor Says He Has Refused Of
fer of $365,ooO Cash.

Arthur C. Rutzen, inventor of per
petual motion machine" says a $1,000
900 company, in which he will hold the
controlling interest, is being formed.
Rutzen said he had refused an offer
of $4,000 cash for his invention, and
that it was worth many times that
sum to the projectors. According to
the inventor any horsepower can be
generated. the amount depending up
on the number of springs and their
installation in the machine. With a
box eight feet square, he said, he can
produce 300 horsepower, and the pow
er can be applied TO automobiles, loco
motives or elevators at a greatly re.
duced cost in all cases.

the game. This gave them nice
lead. Ovitz was on hand, however,
and stepped into the box, wrestling
victory from the jaws of defeat, an

interesting and pleasing to the Min

FIRES Destructive Work.


Last Thursday night about II
O'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Vivian,
who occupied the fine res idence on
the Lanyon farm two miles out of
this city on the Dodgeville road,
Were aroused from their sleep by an
unusual roaring sound, SMOKE, etc.
They discovered instantly that the
house was on fire and beyond control.
The flames must have been at work
for some time, as the roof fell in only
a very brief period after they escaped
from the building, and what they
saved was of nominal value. 1t
might be said the house and contents
were devoured completely, and that
Mr.. and Mrs. Vivian were fortunate
in escaping with their lives. The
origin of the fire is supposed to be
from chicken brooder which was
in operation and connected with the
house. 1t is understood that there
was a small insurance on the fruni-
ture and some on the building.
