BETTING ON THE RAIN.
The oueerest Gambling Game in the
World IL Played at Calcutta.

The oueerest Gambling Game in the
World IL Played at Calcutta.
One of the most curious forms OF
gambling in the world is rain gambl-
ing" which in the winter season OF
the year is at its height in Calcutta,
says the New York Herald. The prin-
clpal rain gambling den is in Cotton
street, Burra bazaar, No one who has
not visited the place can have any con-
ception OF the vast crowds which at
every hour OF the day and far into
night pass In and out. The great ma
jority are Mawars, who are born
spectators, but there are as well
plenty of well-to-do Europeans, Eu-
rasians, Jews Armenians and Greeks
and women, too. All swarm into the
small courtyard where this strange
form OF gambling is carried on,
through narrow entrance barely
three feet wide. The courtyard Is
about 200 feet square. The far-famed
tank with a spout falling into the
courtyard is the one spot where all
eyes are fixed. The tank stands at
Aht tAEt VI a stAohh~hNtA lNbAs ~ 81"
about six feet long by four feet wide
and nine inches deep. with the spout
opening inward, some three or four
inches from the bottom From this
u will be seen that It requires pretty
heavy downpour for at least ten min
utes TO cause the spout TO flow. In
termittent drfzzles. which partly hll
this tank, do not count, as the shower
20 fll it must pour down uninter-
ruptedly, and then the bets are won
or lost. Chances are taken either for
or against the spout running. A gray
haired. wizened old man is the owner
OF the den, and there is another SINH
lar place across the road. only smaller.
On the roos, over the NTH floor, there
Is small square watch-tower, In
which are stationed Ave or six men,
whose duty is to scan the horizon
closely and report on the formation OF
rainclouds. On these reports the odds
lrise OF fall, A bet made and won one
day is always paid the following
morning. Everything seems TO be "or
the square" and indeed there is little
chance for cheating The odds range
as high as 1 to rs on some days. ever
In the rainy season. Many have made
a fortune in a single day One per
son won over $4,000 In the course o.
a few weeks. But he worked the sys
tenn on scientific methods.
