The Kin ’s Grandfather

Marve s

at Niagara

When a certain handsome young lad of 19 visited

Niagara Falls one Saturda

in September, 1860, a

“grandexperiment of lighting the Falls" was tried in his honour. "Grand indeed it was", exclaimed a chroriicler, “who shall describe it? Some 8O Bengal lights placed below the plateau on which we were

standing

and hidden from our view, brilliantly

illuminated both Falls which stood out in high relief-r oceans of white foam, while the surrounding (tamo- work of the picture was in blackest night!"

The youn man was H.R.H. Albert Edward, ﬁrst

Prince of ales to visit

Canada, sent on a tour of

good will by his far-seeing mother Victoria the Good.

Thirteen years before this, an “experiment” of another nature took place-the launching of Canada's ﬁrst life assurance company, the Canada Life. In a history of 92 years it has paid to or accumulated for its policyholders and beneﬁciaries more than $650,000,_0OO—over $50,000,000 more than it has

received in premiums.
