UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE.

Insurance is based upon statistics
that determine the frequency with
which a risk would be likely to avail
itself of the guarantee. writes Elmer
Roberts, in the January Scribner in an
inte sting article on Experiments in
Germany With Unemployment Insur-
ance." No adequate statistics concern
ing unemployment, nor long-establish-
ed systems for premiums and indemnl-
ties, exist. 1t has been affirmed that
the need for insurance might depend
upon the insured person himself, and
that the employed workman could
easily cause himself to be dismissed,
so that he could receive money with
out work. The objection has also been
made that In other forms of insurance

there can be restoration Of the dam
age sustained, and that the remedy for
unemployment ought to be work Of
fered, ms ad of payments for not
working, and that the question would
still be open as to whether the insured
should accept work that might be dis
tasteful to him. These objections are
considered today as having been dis
posed of by reflections along this line:
Modern statistics of unemployment
are imperfect, but life. fire, transport,
and casualty assurances were begun
without statistics. and created them
only in the course OF time. Even the
imperfect statistics of unemployed to-
day are more adequate as a basis from
which to work, Herr DR.. Jastrow says.
than the statistics were at the time IF

listing insurance. The objection that
the beginning of the benefits of insur-
ance depends upon the will Of the in
sured person himself has been an
swered by pointing out that this APP

Massachusetts Ffrst in corn.

The information that the worlds
record for yield per acre of market
able corn is held by Massachusetts is
q distinct surprise. It is a fact, never
theless, that New England has an av-
erage yield Of 40 bushels per acre,
when the average for the rest of the
country is but 26. and Massachusetts,
leads all the other states. The land
cultivated with corn. however, is only
217,OO0 acres. This is very small COM
pared with the possibilities, but it will
be larger when the back to the soil
party makes an impression during the
next generation.
resident whose home is small in area
may think the corn producing figures
of Massachusetts, are only of passing
interest. but, as matter of fact, they
are freighted with deep significance.
They show that the Bay State, which
is now justly famous for its fabrics,
textiles, shoes, and almost infinite va
riety of products turned out by skilled
laborers and artisans, has another
side, one that is undeveloped, her po-
tential agricultural wealth.
Massachusetts was first famous for
her fish, now it is for her industries
and the next stage is for the product
of her farms. The first and second
sources of revenue still endure, but it
is growing more and more apparent
that our valleys and distant fields have
not been given the attention they de-
serve, and that the truest source of
all wealth is given little attention or
neglected.-Boston Globe.

explorers, work Not Done.

The reports that Canadian govern
ment engineers have discovered in the
acrthw estern part of that country a
mountain that is said to be the high
est oil the continent and a lake IF
some $4,000 square miles in extent
that had hitherto been unknown to
the white man. are reminders of ex-
plorers' work that yet remains to be
done. The mountain near the Porcu-
pine river is said to surpass Mount
McKinley's 20.4SO feet by nearly 1000
feet; the lake, lying in a great virgin
tract into which no one seems to have
entered before, is said to be $50 miles
wide and more than $50 miles long.
Such discoveries reveal how much
of the earth's surface remains to be
dealt with by the explorer and the
surveyor. Scarcely one-sixth of the
land area of the globe has been sub
ject to reliable survey work. The
upper valley of the Amazon. the north
ern part of Australia. the interior of
Asia, Arabia, and New Guinea are al
most unknown. The maps of Albania,
parts of Spain. Turkey and Russia
are mere hypothetical sketches based
upon no exact surveys. The common
belief that the arctic and antarctic
polar regions are alone unconquered
seems far from the truth. Every
civilized nation has terra incognita
nearer home.-New York Sun.
