PROFESSOR IN GAMBLING.
AT Nice You May Take a Course in
Roulette.
BOSfOn Irurel

Nice is town whose population con-
sists mainly of a harm onious blend between
knave and fool. This is all natural, and
what might have been expected But for
the man who fancies that superstition has
been destroyed by the influence OF nine
teenth century materialism, there is q
great surprise in store at Nice. The extent
Of shop window space devoted in that town
to the impossible demands of the gambler
will be revelation to him.
The gambler requires ''system," that
Is, a previously arranged sequence of bets
so cunninsly devised that the odds which
would otherwise be in favor of the bank
become 10y its use in favor of the gambler,
and, needless to say, the requirement is met.
Systems vary in price from half franc
to twenty francs, the higher figure being
much the most likely to attract buyers.
The plan Of inclosing the precious secret
in fastened envelope, which the purchaser
may not open until he has paid five francs
for it, adds materially to the prospects of
q good sale.
The extent to which these five-franc
surprise packets, as well as innumerable
pamphlets and considerable variety Of
large volumes, all OF them advocating sys-
TENS of more or less complexity, are sold,

Insurance men say that arson for profit
is not due to GENERALIZATION In writing poii-
cies; the companies have combined to pre-
vent that. 1t Is the result OF sheer fraud,
much OF the insured property being sold or
moved away before the fire. by amysterious

city has been the scene OF some Of the
cruelest killing by fire on record. The
poison murders committed by DR., Holmes
were not as horrible and not more con-
trolled than arson murders on the east side
of New York.
The rapid increase OF tail buildings in all

cussion OF fireproof construction very in

that there are fire resisting buildings. but
none that are fireproof. A firein any room

New York in course of erection one build

eight, and many in the neghborhood OF

ably quite as great.
There are fallacies prevalent which the
following facts may set right:
Smoking is supposed to be the cause or
much loss, but lightning really sets nearly
twice as many fires, and even spontaneous
combustion and me-slacking exceeds the
burning OF tobacco as q cause OF the burn
ing OF property.
Improperly insulated wires cause fewer
nres all the year around than firecrackers
and fireworks do about the Fourth of July.
Lamp accidents are four times as serious
matter to insurance men as lightning.
Only zone fire in 10000 results from a
cyclone, flood, or earthquake, or from the
reflection OF the suns rays from concave
metal surfaces, like the bottoms OF milk
cans.
Friction in machinery causes more fires
than are set by bad children.
More than live tunes as many churches
