FLIP AND Toss.-M. Barber, a French
mathematician of eminence, has the last
twenty years been investigating the sub
ject of pitch-and-toss He has tipped up
common penny piece and collected and
analyzed the results in groups of 10000
clips" coming to the conclusion that in
any 10000 clips" there will be 5000
"heads' and 5000 ''tails." Sometimes
the "heads' will come out fifteen or
twenty ahead, but on the next 10000
tails will catch up, or vice versa. 1t
is not stated whether NJ Barber investi-
gated more interesting and practical
part of the subject-his own personal
equation" in the game of pitch-and-toss
and the possibility Of winning thereat by
scientific play. For instance if penny
is tossed up a 100 times, it will probably
come up "head'' fifty times and "tail''
fifty times; but if a player undertakes to
call each toss he will not be right fifty
times.

1000 sheep over in Diamond Valley,
which be is driving to Cheyenne. He
started with them last April. From here
he expects to be about twenty days on
the road to Wells. From that point to
his journeys END he will be three months
more. He will reach Cheyenne about
the 1st of November, the entire time OF
the drive being just about seven months.
Mr. Keogh looks brown and tough. He
has had hard time of il to get feed for
his sheep on the way. Several times he
thought he was on the point of losiCs
every cent invested, but he has been very
fortunate, losing only 225 head up to
this point. All the rest of the way there
is plenty of grass and water.-Eareka
