The cockroach, like the danse du
ventre, and some other d~isagrceable
things, came 10 us from the Orient.
Unlike a great many of the other in
sects, he hasn't the common decency OF
changing his general manner Of life
and form, and at least giving us some
variety during his lifetime. Most in
scots begin life ms worms or caterpillars,
and then take on an inactive state
while they are preparing TO come out
in their perfect form. Not So, however,
with the cockroach. The mother roach
lays n or two bundles of eggs, each
about half as thick as he's body. and
each containing sixteen eggs. From
the time these hatch out, they are 10
ell intents and purposes, except repro
duction, perfect reaches. 1t is true that
they so through certain changes, prip.
cipally shown by the development of
the wings and wing covers, but at all
times they are voracious feeders on
both animal and vegetable matter.
Croton bugs are also known as Ger
man cockroaches.

ESKIMO KAYAKS.
Some Large Stories of the G~reenlander
Skill.

The kaiak is beyond comparison the
best boat for 4 single oarsman ever i'll
vented" So says DR.. Nansen in his
Eskimo Life" The kaiak, as most
readers may be presumed TO know, is a
long, narrow, shallow canoe or she'll,
with a deck, ) the middle Of which is q
hole just large enough to admit the
body of it's occupant. This occupant
wears a skin jacket. laced tightly about
the wrists and head. and fitted so close
ly to the ring of the kaiak that the man
can capsize and right himself again
without getting wet, and without letting
a drop OF water into the boat
1t needs a good deal of practice to sit
In such a boat. 10 say nothing of man.
aging it in all weathers. DIR. Nansen
watched a friend of his who got into
one for the first time. He capsized four
times within two minutes. NO sooner
had we got him up on even keel and let
him go than he again stood on his head.
| with the bottom of the kaiak in the air
Greenlanders begin their practice
early and develop wonderful skill. No
body il an expert kaiak-man until he
has mastered the art of righting himself
after capsizing. A thorough expert can
! do this without an oar. by the help Of
his throwing-stick or even by n arm
alone.
The height of accomplishment is
reached" says DIR. Nansen, when he
does not even need to use the flat Of his
hand, but can keep it clenched. To
show that this car really be done.
have seen a man take n tor ih hi:
clenched hand before eapsizing and
coue up with ii still in his grasp"
Such a man is prepared todefy almost
any weather. If the sea is very heavy
he laws the broad side of the kaiak to it,
holds the paddle fat Out or the wind.
ward side, pressing il against the deck,
bends forward and let's the wave rol
over him. or else he throws himself or
his side toward it. resting on his faI
paddle and rights himself again when il
has passed"
Some fishermen have ecourse to 9
still prettier feat of seamanship. "A.
the sea curis over them they voluntarily
capsize. receive il on the bottom of the
kaiak and when it has passed right
themselves again. | think it would b<
hard to name a more intrepid method Of
dealing with a heavy sea-"
III a man cannot right his boat and
there is no help at hand. he is lost be
yond hope as oon as he capsiaes. II
follows, almost of necessity, that n con.
siderable part of the Eskimos come Ia
:hcir death by drowning. In some
years a full fourth of the mortality
among the men is due to tho upsettine
of kaiaks.

TOSS THE COINS YOURSELF.
what Arc the Chances OF Three Pennies
Falling All Heads or All Tails?

Surprising q nan to toss three pennies
in the air. what are the chances of their
coming down all heads or tails? That
is a question discussed in a recent num-
Der of Nature by Francis Gallon. of the
Royal Society. He upsets a popular de-
fusion regarding the laws of chance. II
is obvious hat at least two of the coins
thrown in the air must turn up alike,
for when the coins are on the ground
there must always be either two heads
or tails showing. The question then is
as TO the chance of the third coin turn
ing up a head or a tail. 1t is. of course
an even chance whether q third coin
turns one side or the other.
Is IL. therefore. an even chance thai
all three coins will be alike? Mr.. Cation
says 1t is not an even chance, and that
the man who bets his money on such q
theory would lose in the end. He says
the relative chance of all three coin,
turning up alike is 2 to s. and he figure:
1t out in this way: There are two diff
ferent aud equally probable ways il
which a coin may turn up; there ar,
four ways in which two coins may turn
up, and there are eight ways in which
three coins may do so. OF these eight
ways one is all heads and another all
tails. While 1t is an even chance
whether a third coin is heads or tails,
il is not an even chance that the third
coin will turn the same a. the other
two.
In order TO test the matter, Mr.. Cation
tossed three coins eight times. Only
twice did they come up all alike, while
the third coin was equally divided be-
tween heads and tails. Mr.. Gallon then
made l20 throws of dice. with three dice
in each throw, the odd numbers count
ing as heads and the even numbers as
tails. The l20 throws were divided into
three groups of forty In each. and gave
the result of all alike, 8. Il, s, total, IS:
as against not All alike. 80, %, 80, total,
90. This seemed to settle the matter,
and indicated that the most probable ex
pectation in the case of the dice was 80
to %.
