...contributes to this number a paper on the "Nature of a Policy of Insurance with regard to its assignment." It is a clear and careful study of the subject. The usual editorials, notes, and summaries of recent cases complete the number.

There are 300 mosques altogether, and these are rapidly becoming very dilapidated since the government took charge of them Most of them are built with alternate courses of red and white stone and have domes which contain the tombs. There are no seats in them and the worshipper is obliged to take off his shoes upon entering. The minaret is invariably a feature of a mosque, and is a tall tower from whose gallery the priest summons to prayer.
