their pile with another 20 franc piece
from their pocket. On one occasion, 1

When one lost, the other won, and
at each put down 20 francs at each
coup, they kept even SO long as zero
did not come up, but when zero did
come up they lost half their stake
that is, the bank took from the two
players 20 francs, and as about one
coup was played in minute, it fol.

average once in every thirty-seven
minutes. Their average losses would

This remarkable man, Sir Hiram Max
