MATHEMATICAL PHILOSOPHY.
FOURTH PAPER.

You are unwilling to stand the
chances of being held by lottery
for the cost of the entire dinner,
so that my profit depends upon
your unwillingness to gamble, on
the disadvantage which led you
to pay S. to be free from the
caprices of fortune. For however
impartial with respect to masses,
fortune is not to be depended up
on by the individual.
The enormous sums invested in
insurance and the magnitude of
interests involved present a
notable illustration of society to
mathematics. The results furn-
ished by the theory of probabili-
ties are rigorous consequences OF
certain hypothesis originating in
experience, consequences which
follow as inevitably as those de-
rived from Euclid's axioms. So
long as we make no application of
these results to the sensible world
of experience, they constitute with
what is system consistent in all
its parts.
The applicability of the results
to practical life is, of course, de-
pendent upon the premises. Any
doubt which rests upon the latter
also attaches to the former, for the
inferring process which lies be-
tween the data and the conclusion
cannot eliminate the imperfections
of the data. AS our experiences
become many and uniform they
acquire very high validity as
data. AS our experiences drawn
from them have a CORRESPONDENCE
high scientific value, but their
only warrant is experienced and
they cannot rise above their
source. The service here rendered
by mathematics, consists in the
brevity, rapidity, and certainty
with which it reaches the con-
, clusion, and the only distrust
to be entertained is that which
we feel in respect to all reasoning
founded upon human experience

Laughter Significant Of
Character

''There is nothing more signiti-
cant of mems characters than what
they find laughable." These are
the words of that greatest OF
German poets, Goethe. How true
they are, we do not always fully
realize, but 60 on day after day
estimating the character OF others,
unconsciously perhaps, by what
they find laughable. What we
found laughable in childhood
effects us so no longer; as we grow
from childhood to manhood our
minds develop if properly trained,
and when we have reached maturi-
ty that which caused the outward
expression of emotion in our
youth does not appear to us as it
did before. We have outgrown it.
And then again. as we grow older
we learn to have self-control and
put restraint upon the express
sion of our feelings.
Childhood knows nothing OF
this, but gives free vent to the
emotions, laughing in widest glee
or weeping bitterly over trifies.
A dog with a tin can tied to his
tail, and running as if for dear life
through the main street OF vii
lage, will receive the applause of
every boy it passes, and probably
a shout, and a stone thrown to
quicken his movement and to
speed him on his journey. Now
this is very amusing incident to
children, and I have seen grown
up children who would laugh at
something just as foolish. A man
who will laugh at the suffering OF
a dumb brute is of a cruel dis
position, and will very likely do
the same to human being in
whom he is not particularly inter-
ested. That which would make
the ignorant laborer roll in a par
oxysm of laughter may not bring
more than a passing smile to the

Fun For SportSmen.

The geese feed in the fields
about twice day, morning and
evening, spending the night on
some lake, about three or five
miles away from houses, and the
days in travelling about, apparently
seeking new feeding fields, but
always returning to the big wheat
or barley plat. These birds are
endowed with what seems an
intuition and vision. It is said
that an old hat left lying ON the
ground has prevented them from
alighting. An uncovered spade
that was in use in digging the ex-
cavaticn has kept them off and it
is absolutely unsafe to keep the
head of the watcher and the
"caller" out after the flock can be
seen by him. They will not decoy
near grain stacks, and it is i'm
possible to approach flock walk
ing by the side of a horse or a COW
and get within shooting range,
nor has the experiment of lying
on the ground covered with straw
proved successful. The only neg
lect in their education seems to be
that they will come down to a
flock of tin decoys and never en-
terrain a suspicion of anything
wrong, as it is this lack of learning
upon their part solely that enables
the sportsmen to bag them.
Entering the pit with guns
loaded, the right barrel with
number S, the left with BIS, and
two shells of buckshot handy, the
frail covering arranged SO that
they cannot pierce through with
their eagle eyes, all is in readiness.
One of the party is designated to
watch for their coming and blow
the goose call few times to at
tract attention to the decoys.
Then he too must attend to- his
end of the pit, and see that the

straw covering is properly ar
ranged. Then sgain he blows the
call few more times for fear that
all the geese did not hear the first
attempt. Suddenly the 'honk" of
the leader is heard. The ''honk"
comes nearer and nearer, and the
tapping of the wings is soon noted
by the anxious hunters. Finally
the geese cease their circling
fight and may be heard on the
ground close by, when at slight
pinch by the leader as a signal the
covering is thrown back, the hunt
ers arise to their feet with shout
ders above the ground and the
sport begins. They have beer

game is large to aim CAREFUL, at

countenance of an educated gen.
tleman, and what would make the
latter laugh heartily would very
probably go completely over the
others head and not bring smile
from him. When you see man who
finds laughable the misfortunes
or determines of others, you see a
man who lacks that first great
essential of a true man sincerity.
When an acquaintance, after earn
estly agreeing to do certain things,
leaves you with an imitation of
a laugh, Though intended to be
hearty enough) you are not in the
least surprised when he does not
keep his promises. Such a man
could not laugh true to save his
life. Carlyle says: 'There are
men whose laugh is as untrue as
anything about them-who can
not laugh"
Did you ever see a stranger
talking with friends in a crowd
and suddenly hear peal of laugh
ter come from him, clear and true
with that genuine ring of truth in
it? Did you not Immediately like
this stranger, and instinctively
feel desire to make his acquaint-
ance and to know him? A man
cannot laugh in this whole-souled
manner unless he himself is
true, faithful, brotherly sort. And
not only this but it shows him to
be good amiable, socia-
BILE. all around good fellow. All
of these different characteristics
show in single laugh! Think of
it, and I believe you will agree
with me that laughter in itself is
very significant of mems charac-
ters. Most men can laugh but
there is generally false note
somewhere, betraying to the close
observer the deficiencies of their
character.
It is good to laugh. One al
ways feels better after a hearty
laugh and remember: "When
you laugh the world laughs with
you. When you weep you weep
alone" D.

SVnnOYe SOlbakken And
Its Author.

Bjornstjerna Bjornson is SO
years old, but does not look it.
Very few authors of his eminence
have acquired fame as statesmen,
but Bjornson's fame is not alto
gether due to such masterpieces as
"Synnove Solbakken," GA Happy
Boy" "a Failure" etc. His fa-
miliar signature, "B. B." is fire.
quently seen in "Revue Des Deux
Mondes,'' ''Deutsches Revue"
"Fortnightly,' - 'Nuova Antologia'
and "Kringshaa." His contribu-
tons to these journals treat with
political and social themes and are
eagerly read by all classes.
Bjornson writes for all classes.
His language and style is his own;
he has no equals and few success
full imitators. His views are ultra
democratic but not socialistic.
Back in the SOS "B. B."
launched the "Pure Flag issue.
For three hours he held an audi
ence of $4,000 spel]bound; there
was no. applause-only tears and
laughter, JOY and sorrow. He
captivated the audience and the
nation; public opinion forced the
Storthing to legislate the Swedish
union mark in the flag out of ex-
istence and Bjornson's speech did
it. In the opinion of many clas-
steal scholars that effort was su-
perior in every respect to the i'm
mortal effort OH the "Crown" by
Demosthenes or the "Quousque
Tandem Abutere Catelina" by
Cicero. The following morning a
bitter political opponent, the edit
or of "Mogenbiadet," character
lied the effort as "frenzied raw
ings" and "diabolical inspirations, :"
but ''divinely grand and effective. :"
Unfortunately Bjo1nson visited
America unfortunately because
he imbibed too freely of the ag-
nostic nonsense, which at that
time was served in such alluring
form by the late Robert Ingersoll.
Happily, Bjornson is failure as
Gree thinker" It conflicts
with his training and nature and
with his faith in humanity-a
faith of pathetic simplicity.
Not long ago he managed to
get into a journalistic dispute
over religious matters with Rev.
Heuch, chaplain to the Royal
Palace at Christiania. Although
Heuch is man of only moderate
ability, he completely foored
Bjornson and the fact that the
pigmy downed the Giant is said to
have opened Bjornson's eyes so
that at least partially he reem-
braced the faith of his fathers.
Synnove Solbakken tells us of
love, not that puny willing love
taught in novels, but strong en-
during love which saves and
builds up nations. The reader
feels he is understood and loved
by the author. He who reads
this book will love-Bjornson.

This case is identical with the
,afnmber of deaths under forty
years of age in every thousand.
In a single case we can hazard no
prediction, in a million cases we
can stake our wealth with security
as, in fact, we do. Again why?
Because law of some kind or other
presides over the variable condi-
tons of practice, and long ex-
perience has given us faith in the
constant operation of this law.
We may apply the ideal laws of
probability to practical problems,
providing we deal with a large
number of events and not with
single ones. Just as in the case
of an engine with large fly wheel
or water-supply system, which
has a distributing reservoir; the
sudden demands on the part of a
consumer of energy or water has
no. appreciable effect on the We
locity of the wheel or the level of
the reservoir; so the individual
exception to the mortality law has
no visible effect upon it. Large
numbers are the fy-wheels of the
doctrine of probabilities.
De Morgan in his celebrated
exposition of this subject remarks
that the distrust of the theory of
probabilities entertained by those
who do not understand it, is due
to the fact that it seems to assume
a power of prophecy and to be Of
no use unless it does. This, he
adds, is both true and false. There
is prophecy, but not of particular
events, and this power of prophecy
! is derived from inspiration. It is
the same kind as that of the astron-
'-omer who predicts the time of a
stars passage over the meridian
ito the fraction Of second, the
difference being one of degree
the events with which the astron-
omer deals being controlled by
laws of which his knowledge is SO
accurate that he is dealing with
probabilities upon which he may
place an almost absolute reliance.
AS an example, suppose that of
twenty ships engaged in partic-
ular trade, on the average one is
found to be lost every five years.
If the average value of ship and
its cargo is $4,000 this means that
zone of the twenty owners is almost
certain to lose this sum in five
years. The law-providence-
whatever we may call it, implied
by this steady loss of one ship in
twenty, every five years, has no
compassion, never relents. 1t
<does not distribute the loss among
the twenty owners; it pounces
upon one. AS further illustra-
ation, suppose fifty men sit down
Ito dinner costing five dollars a
splate. If tie landlord were to in
sist that one of them, selected by
dot, should pay the whole $3.50, he
might find precedent for his con-
tduct in the laws of nature. It is
under such law that ship owners
engage in trade. Certainly as
~one of the fifty, you would rather
gpay $50 or even $6, rather than to
run the risk of having to pay
$3.50.
Suppose further, that l, an out
slider. assume your risk for con-
ssideration of Sc. IT the lot fall ON
me I lose $244 where you would
have lost $245. But if [ make
sthis buying up of risks my bust
mess, and buy up at Sc the risks of
zthe entire party, then 1 am held
3for the bill, pay it, and make a
profit of $50. This is insurance.
What is it's safety? The certainty
of the knowledge of the sum to be
