INSURANCE POLICIES AND WAR LOADING.

J _ (To the Editor.) ■ 'Sir, —In last evening's issue of your paper. I noticed a letter headed "In.aurance Policies and War Loading.'' As - - a representative of the A.M.P. Society, I should like to make it known, that vthe A.M.P. was not the Society refer1' red to. The war loading imposed by the .A.M.(P. is 7£ per cent., "When it i~ known that,-for the three vears- ending December, 1917, dhf A.M.P. has pa'<i oat-'in actual t\ar claims over £1.700.r * ~ 000, the public will easily realise ith.-it, _7A/per cent is not by any means an over - " charge. The A.M.P. war loading is ab--Bolutelyv:the lowest i*n- the world. - - I am, etc.. • s ,\ - " . J. T. WILSON. . - * (To the Editor.) : i^ir. — Anv -useful information thai-Mr t Taylor i<iii jjiye to the public mi tlio ' -subject of-Qstronomy .-Uuulii Ik; \siiu-.<l. 'init'l think it "right,to point out lli.u r-,:" in his "letter about'the new star, in your issue of 27th he refers to its I rapidly changing as to its relative po- % its apparent movements, and >J r exact' orbit; From the.*- remarks it would /appear that' Mr Taylor supposes - the "Nova" to be a planet or a comet. - or something else connected - with .■ the solar "system. What is the-value of such writineT—-I am, : NOT AN ASTRONOMER. * 'Ntlson ~ord July, 1918.
