               In December 1994, petitioner filed a claim for insurance               
          loss with Mercer.  The cause and origin of the loss was described           
          as “washing machine hose had a small split”.  Petitioner listed             
          the amount of the loss as “Partial loss and damage claimed and              
          estimated (as of 12/2/94) $38,040.73  Cost of loss is still                 
          mounting because of loss of use, lack of storage space, lack of             
          funds, inconvenience.”  Attached to the claim form are numerous             
          pages of schedules of listed property.  A hand-written list                 
          prepared about the same time reflected the following categories             
          and amounts of claimed loss:
