We have been caught by the slot-ma-

so great an extent that most persons think
these devices are only of the most modern
invention Such, however, is not the case.
for twenty-five centuries ago the great
mathematician and mechanician Of Greece.
Hero, had perfected a slot machine very
much like those of our day which sprinkle
cologne on your handkerchief after pen
ny has been put into the slot. He describs d
his device in a work on gases. 1t was an
urn which stood in the court of one of
the temples Of Alexandria and any wor-
shipper who dropped a coin into the slot
would find little stream of water pouring
out to wash his hands
In Latin translation Of this book OF
Hero. printed in Italy in 1875, are a num-
Der Of drawings of the seventy-six differ
ent machines invented by the ingenious
Hero. This fountain is described as fol-
lows: "ABC is the vase, FGHK a vessel

The negroes of Johnson's camp were high

him instantly. Five CT the negroes were
