There Xever Was One Devised That
Can Beat the Bank.
"When a system is played against a
bank like that at Monte Carlo, the per?
centage against the player is not on the
amount of his capital, but on the
amount that he stakes cn the tables
while playing his system. Supposing
that I have a capital of ?10, and that I
play ?1 each coup until I have either
losi my ?10 or won a similar amount of
the bank. I should in all probability
have to play about 200 coups in order
to <io the one or the other. Therefore
the percentage against me would not
be on ?10, but on ?200. If this ba???
percentage were 2 per cent, I should
consequently be paving ?4 for the riga.:
to risk ?10 at even chances.
? used to know long ago one of the
chiefs of the old Homburg gambling
bank. I found him at Monte yarlo in.
the same position there. He was fond
of calculations, and one day we aver?
aged the amount staked at the tables
each day, and we found that the annu?
al gross profit of the bank was almost
exactly the percentage on the amount
staked in the course of the year. There
?an be no business in which the return
JB more certain or greater. Consols re?
turn less than S per cent per annum.
A mine that pays a dividend of 100 per
cent is a Pact?las. But a coup at Monte
Carlo takes a little less than a minute.
The percentage is, if I remember right?
ly, a little under 2 per cent, or, in other
"words, the bank charges 2 per cent f o:r
money per minute. This must make the
mouth of the veriest usurer water.
london Truth.
A Snot That Made Trouble.
An odd incident happened in the then
Danish West Indies about a quarter
of a century ago that nearly caused
serious international complications. An
American marksman, paying a visit to
Charlotte Amalia, amused the governor,
by an exhibition of his skill with the
rifle. Sitting on the veranda of the
government house, he said that ko
could cat with a bullet the signal hal?
yards on the flagstaff of the fort and
lower the Danish standard to the
ground. As the lines were almost in?
visible in the distance the governor
-was willing to bet that he could not do
it. The shot rang out, and the flag fell.
Presently a horseman dashed up, in?
forming the governor that some one
had fired on the flag. There was great
excitement. The governor, none too
popular, it seems, with the military,
ruined his political future by admit?
ting that the affair was a joke in
which he connived. Report being sent
to Copenhagen, highly colored, of
course, by the commandant, his excel?
lency was summarily removed.-New
York Press.
Sensations During- Hangrins*.
One question often asked and which
few living persons are abie to answer
is, "What are the sensations of a man
who is being strangled with a rope?"
Some of the few who have lived to give
an account of what occurred to them at
that critical moment say that after
one instant of pain the chief sensation
is that of a mass of brilliant colors be?
fore the eyes. Professor Boughton,
who was one day testing for himself
what such an experience would be
like, lost^bis footing and was acciden?
tally discovered and rescued just as
.the last faint spark of life was about
to leave the body. He declared after?
ward that he felt no pain and that the
only sensation was that of a fire be?
fore his eyes which finally changed
from a bright blue to a black color.
-He said that he had no fear of the
"consequences and that the colors were
even a source of extreme pleasure.
Mica and Isinglass.
Mica and isinglass are not at all the
same, though the names are sometimes
confused. Mica is a transparent min?
eral, capable of being cleaved into elas?
tic plates of extreme thinness. It is
transparent and is used like glass in
lanterns and the doors of stoves. Its
power of resisting heat makes it much
better than glass for stove doors. Isin?
glass is a substance consisting chiefly
of gelatin. Ii is prepared from the
sounds of air bladders of certain fresh
water fishes. The Lest deposits of
mica in the United States are in the
mountains cf Nerti) Carolina. In the
Black H?ls of Dakota mica is found
near tin ore, but its presence is cot an
indication of geld.
A Faxt Crowing; Vine.
The Kudzu vine is probably the mest
rapid growing plant in the world. I:
belongs to the bean family. The leaves
lock something like a lima bean ano
was once called Dolichos jap?nicas. It
will grow easily sixty feet in three
months. It was introduced imo Ameri?
ca by the Japanese during the Centen?
nial exhibition, lt is said that in its
own country it has flowers like bunch?
es of wistaria. For some reason Amer?
ican summers do not seem long enougl
for it. It rarely blooms.

A tv i ? ten's Intelligence.
A hungry kitten was put into a cage,
the door of which would fall open
when a loop of wire that hung in front
of the cage was pulled down an inch.
The kitten tried to squeeze between
the bars, clawed and bit at them,
thrust its paws out between the bars
and clawed at various loose objects in
the cage. It clawed the loop several
times, but not with enough force to
pull it down. After ICO seconds of such
activity, it happened to claw the loon
hard enough, and so escaped.
After it had eaten the food outside,
it was put into the box again. There
' was a repetition of the same activities,
but the successful movement came this
time after thirty seconds. On the next
trial, general activity fdr ninety sec?
onds was required before the kitten es?
caped. With repeated trials the asso?
ciation between the interior of the box
and the act of clawing at the loop be?
came fixed, so that ?nally the kitten
would do it in a few seconds-that is,
as soon as put into the box.
This progress is shown in the times
taken in the different trials. They were

A Scotch Antigolf Law.
Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the land
where it most flourishes. But if the
law were strictly enforced north of the
Tweed it would go hard with the play?
ers of the royal game in "Bonnie Scot?
land." Golf players there may not
know it, but they are liable to a sen?
tence of death for -their indulgence in
their favorite sport. Technically, this
is literally a fact In ancient times,
when Scotland always had work for
her soldiers to do, all young men were
required to perfect themselves in arch?
ery. They preferred to play golf, and
so serious a rival did the game become
that it was for a time suppressed and
made a capital offense. That curious
law never has been repealed and may
still be found on the statute book.
There seems to be no record, however,
of the law ever having been enforced.
Browning-'? Care For Health.
Browning never passed a day without
taking one or more long walks. Indeed,
bis panace:: for most ills was exercise,
and the exercise he chiefly advocated
was walkirg. Ke wrote:
