Woodburn introduced the subject by giving
an historical view of the Oregon question.
The subject of slavery. he said, became
the most important one In American
politics because of the new territories.
Had there been no territory acquired and,
therefore. no new States to be formed the
subject might have always been one of

ANCIENT DICE THROWING.
A Favorite Form OF Gambling Among
the old Romans.

inc via hombubs
The number Of dice used was three,
being marked with n minimum of one
and n maximum Of six spots. The
most fortunate throw called venereus
by Cicero (dc Divin., l., 1877 and basili-
Gus by Plautus, (Curculio, II. 3. 49,
was when the dice showed three
seniones, or eighteen spots. The prog
ress of the game was marked on the
board by the movement of the men
QatrunculD backward and forward.
The gravity of the losses depended
naturally upon the amount of money
at stake and the fines that were paid
when the dice showed one or more
aces.
1t is difficult 10 explain what skill
had TO do with such n game, still Isl
dorus describes how iuveterate gamb-
lers could succeed in throwing the six
and in avoiding the unit suspect
that this skill was not always iu-
noccnt, and that heavy particle OF
lead was perhaps concealed on the side
of the unit. In graffito ut Pompeii an
honest player congratulates himself for
having gained good sum OF money
without fraud. Plautus dwells some
times on these dishonest practices, to
avoid which several instruments were
| invented from time to time, such rs the
horn (pyxis cornea) and the fritillus II
seems. however. that these instruments
did not always fulfill their purpose. A
third one was consequently invented,
in the shape OF tower, with spiral
| ST aircase inside and funnel on the
top. The dice shaken first in the horn,
or in the fritillus. were thrown into the
funnel and rolled down the spiral
staircase until they landed on the
table. Such precautions rendered cheat
ing almost impossible. -Lanciani, IL
