marine insuranos policies-more especially, perhaps, in those that come to us from the Colonies and our Eastern possessions. It is not difficult to understand how the present diffuseness and reiteration have arisen, In the early days of our foreign and over-sen trade the risks of marine insurance were of course confined to sailing craft, and com- menced, as a rule, with the actual voyage,
which in its turn was generally a direct one, the perils of the sea being the dangers which the policy was expected to cover. But the introduction of steamer carriage led to many risks of a minor character, to da- viations beneficial and otherwise, to tran- shipments, and to craft risks previously undreamt of.

If we add to these the various risks in- cidontal to arrival and discharge at foreign ports, with all the chances of river collision, of approach to awkward wharves, or of partial discharge or loading in mid-stream of a swift flowing river, it will be seen that many questions of underwriters' re pon- sibility must of necessity arise which had been partly absent in the old sailing vessel days.

The establishment of a Standard Policy would relogate to a place of safety many of 144 the questions that might lead to discussion or misunderstanding between merchants and underwriters.

steamer are materially lower than they were years ago, the risks themselves have diminished in a much greator proportion. The size and horse-power in steamers, the lighting of coasts-home and foreign. alike the capacity of captains and officers, and the general facilities for navigation, have all increased enormously in the past 30 or 40 years, and these have in just the same, if not in a larger proportion, reduced the underwriters' risks; while the very frequency and speed of the voyages bas enabled assurers to take larger vontures in one
year with a certatuty of their running off in no longer time than the former smaller lines. As an instance of diminished risks run by underwriters, it may be said that while in olden days a Mossageries boat, in going up from Cape St. Jaines to Saigon, might require half a dozen men at each wheel to keep her straight on the swift and nuous Meil ong river, one would now probably manage a larger vessel with a brass wheel 2 ft. in diameter. There is nu need to enlarge on the improvement in Coast lighting. The courao from Hong- Kong to Shanghai is said to be one of the best lighted in the world, and we believe the Hooghly approaches are second to none in offectiveness. So that underwriters need not grumble at the mercantile desire for the simplification of insurance. The assure- od and the BsAurors are, after all, partne's in the venture, and though their interests may at times apparently clash, their true prosperity lies in a steady continuance of friendly relations without friction of any kind.

At this meeting the apparatus was fully doscribed, and Dr S. P. Thompson discuss. ud it from a scientific point of view. Describing the process as a simple and practical method, he showed how the series of short sharp impulses given by the trans- witter, and transmitted through base lines into the earth through a pair of metal rods planted in the ground found their way Found to the telephone receivers connected with the second pair of exploring rods. He admitted having been very sceptical when asked to go down to see the apparatus at work in Wales. However, be went to the place described by Mr Williams and they oxplored a very difficult and broken hillside. There was a deep V-shaped gully running up the hill. On one hillside they planted this transmitting apparatus, which gave off Iines were the interupted electric current. run out to about 130 ft in each direction. and the rods put in the ground at two dif- ferent places. They wished to make sure of having a good deep contact, and there- fore had a base line of 240 ft. in length. Going to a distance somewhat over a quarter of a mile across this gully, they explated backwards and forwards in places where the lode was supposed to have crossed, putting in the exploring rods and fistening in this telephoneto a light noise like the faict tapping of a woodpecker against a tree. They presently found one place where sound reached a minimum, and therefore came to the conclusion that they were standing above the conducting lode, the transmitting apparatus being across the other end. Professor Thompson then verified a number of points of view which occurred to him, and finally came away fully convinced that this method of er ploration was a very useful one. He could not say from experience whether it would be of equal uso in gold mining, but it could be used for a large number of metalliferous oros when known to have good conducting properties, and also for exploring non- conducting reefe such as quartz. It was a scientific method of exploring them under. ground, and would be of enormous use in saving the trial holes which people put down.
