INSURANCE MAPS.
Handy Guides For Underwriters In
Fixing Premium Rates.

Many persons must have noticed
when making application for fire In
surance that it is the practice of the
underwater TO examine certain maps
before he will fix the rate of premium
or accept a risk on the property Of
fered. His photographic surveys mark
ed off in diagrams Of red and yellow
and other colors are always in evil
dence, sometimes bound securely in
dozens of large volumes, on other oc-
casions laid conveniently in piles of
loose sheets for handy reference.
Few persons realize, however, that
these maps contain all the information
which the underwater desires to know
about the building he is asked to in
sure and that in most instances more
matters are explained to him by a
single glance than the applicant could
make even though he be the owner of
the property.
As matter of fact the details set
forth are most explicit. The map
maker has managed by colors, charac-
tiers and signs to give full description
Of the construction, equipment and &C.
cupation Of the building, everything
which over fifty years of this sort of
surveying has proved to be of any pos
sible interest to the insurance man. 1t
IS so complete. for instance, that an
agent in New York city can readily
form a good idea of the character Of a
risk situated in some town in Missouri
or California, or, vice versa, agents in
towns in these western states can like
wise tell the character Of n risk in
New York city.-Cassler's Magazine.

Of fact that General Washington wore

as we know, never complained of them.
The teeth were carved from ivory

somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three
large clamps in particular figure con.
spicuously in the roof of the mouth
and must have caused difficulty, If not
anguish. There were an upper ana an
