The Doctrine Of chances.
[From the Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.]
1t is an indubitable result of the theory of
probabilities that every gambler, if he con-
tinues long enough, must ultimately be ruined.
Suppose he tries the martingale, which some
believe infallible, and which is, as l am in
formed, disallowed in the gambling houses.
In this method of playing he first bets say ST.
if he loses it, he bets So; if he loses that, he
bets '$4; if he loses that he bets So; if he
then gains, he has lost plus 2 plus equal
Z, and he has gained 81 more; and no mat
ter how many bets he loses, the first one he
gains will make him 81 richer than he was
in the beginning. In that way he will prob
ably gain at first; but at last the time will
come when the run of luck is so against him
that he will not have nancy enough to double,
and must therefore let his bet go. This will
probably happen before he has won as much
as he had in the first place, so that this run
will leave him poorer than he began; some
time or other it will be SIRE to happen. 1t is
true that there is always possibility of his
winning any sum the bank can pay, and we
thus come upon celebrated paradox that,
though he is certain to be ruined, the value
of his expectation, calculated according to
the usual rules (Which omit this considera-
tion) is large. But, whether gambler plays
in this way or any other; the same thing Is
true, namely, that if he plays long enough he
Wills be sure some time to have such run
against him as to exhaust his entire fortune.

Archaeology in Japan.

Japan has an active archaeological society,
bearing the title of Kobutzu Kai (Society OF
Old Things). Its members, numbering 200,
are scattered throughout the land, but meet
once month in Yeddo. They consist of
wealthy Japanese gentlemen, learned men,
and priests; the latter especially have been
the means of bringing before public attention
q vast number of ancient objects which have
been hidden in the treasures of the temples
or preserved in private families. H. Won Sie-
bold, Attache of the Austrian Embassy at
Yeddo, and a member of the society, has
lately published brochure, which will serve
as a guide for the systematic archaeological
study of the land: Won Siebold has recently
made most interesting discovery of pre-
historic mound at Omuri, near Yeddo, con-
tanning over 5000 different articles in stone,
bronze, etc. In recent communication to
the Berlin Anthropologische Gesellschaft, he
describes the origin of the terra Gotta images
found in old Japanese buriel grounds. 1t ap
pears that up to the year 2 B. c. it was the
custom to surround the grave of dead En-
peror or Empress with number of their at
tendants, buried alive up to their necks, their
heads forming CHASTITY ring about the burial
spot AT the date referred to the custom was
abolished, and the living offerings were re-
placed by the clay figures, which have hith-
erto attracted so much attention.

The Origin Of consumption.
Popular Science Monthly.]


In 1858, when Hanover and other parts of
Northern Germany were visited by a very
malignant kind of smallpox, the great anato-
mist, Langenbeck, tried to discover ''the pc
culiarity of organic structure which disposes
one man to catch the disease while his neigh
Dor escapes.
Il have cut up more human bodies than
the Old Man of the Mountains with all his
accomplices," he writes from Gottengen in
his seml-annual report, "and, speaking only
of my primary object, must confess that |
am no wiser than before. But, though the
mystery OF smallpox has eluded my search,
my labors have not been in vain they have
revealed to me something else-the origin of
consumption. am sure now of what sus-

Perpetual Motion Accomplished

A magnetic clock, invented by Daniel
Drawbaugh, of Milltown, Cumberland coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, is sufficiently remarkable
to be worth description. The magnetism of
the earth, an inexhaustible source of power,
is made to oscllate the pendulum and the
simplicity of all the works gives an assurance
of the least possible friction. At a certain
point the movements of the pendulum itself
shut off magnetic connection with the earth,
and at another point restore the connection,
thus securing the conditions necessary to pro-
duce its oscillations. The works are so in
genious and simple that it is no wild asser-
tion to make that, were it not for the una
voidable wearing out caused by even the
smallest amount of friction, the clock would
run as long as the solid earth endures This
clock is hung against board partition, with
all the works exposed, subject to the Earrings
of machinery and obstructions from dust set
Ting upon it, yet since March 1, 1877, it has
been running continuously and uniformly,
with only slight variations, as tested by tran

Decline Of National Holidays.

Thurlow Weed writes to the New York
Tribune regreting that less attention is being
paid year by year to the observance of the
anniv ersaries OF our national holidays. SO
entirely, he says, has Evacuation Gay gone
out of mind, that he doubts whether one
fourth of tie citizens of New York can tell
what day in November it occurs. Mr.. Weed
says it was his habit during half century of
active journalism to republish annually the
Declaration of Independence, John Adams
letter, and Washington's farewell address,
just to keep alive the fires of American patri-
otism and he also used to republish every
ten or twelve years articles which, from their
historical interest. their eloquence, or from
their poetic beauty, were sure to attract gen.
eral attention and excite general admiration.

to simmer. When the skin cracks, take them
out of the pan and pour off water. You

which you place on the bottom small onion;
then, pour your beans into the pot, putting to
two quarts of beans two tablespoonful of

Always n Chance.

1t is scarcely necessary to remind reason
able men that if they wish to be sad and
sour, to grumble and complain, there is al
ways chance. Reasons for being cast down
and detected are as plenty as blackberries in
the height of harvest. If one thing goes
right, you may he sure there is always some
thing else going wrong; and if one thing is in
order, something else is out of joint, or ut
any rate soon will be. The chief difference
in the feelings and dispositions of people re-
suits from the different way of looking at
things Few nights are 80 dark that no stars
are to be seen; the thing is to look them out
and keep your eyes on them, and make the
most of what light you can discover.
