Pratt & Seymour have been paying $780,

Those who gamble, therefore. lose at least
that much annually, and all told women

daily Monte Carlo plays with the player on
even terms without zero Yet, notwith-
standing the chances in their favor. Pratt

monopoly. Whether the people have not
the money, or whether the very openness
and accessibility Of the tables detract
from the fascina ton, play IS seldom high or
long-continued. 1t frequently closes after
two hours for lack Of patrons. The COM
ing Of 5000 people TO dig the canal Is
pected to change this condition. They
will be away from home, with nothing TO
do after the daily lsbors. and the gambling
concessionnaires look for times like those
when the French were here, and officers OF
construction sat by the tables with huge
bags Of silver. sending their servants for

termed being alive.
Metals have just as sensitive a nerve or
ganism as the human, and can and 90 feel
pleasure, pain, lassitude; can become tired,
or overworked, irritable, or soothed: In fact
apparently have feelings which are affect
ed by the same causes which affect human
feeling.
The old nanny yarn" OF your colored
barber that razor was tired" is now a
demonstratable fact.
Up to within a short time the acuteness
or lack of acuteness Of sensitiveness in hu-
mans was not a measurable quantity.
In other words, the extent Of the pain
felt, for instance, could not be accurately
gagged by the vocal demonstration given.
You who attended school during the old
days of corporal punishment Will vouch for
that.
But now a means is employed which &C
curately measures nerve sensations. Pain,
pleasure, lasstude, or that tired feeling"
animation, exhilaration. anger, resentment,
love or hate-in fact, all human sensations
are now capable of delicate yet indisputa-
bic measurement.
The means employed is what is known
to electricians as a galvanometer-a very
sensitive instrument for detecting and

were we'll patroniZed during the
IaINTsll cold weather of last week. The
- deep snow had covered not only
the ground, but the low-growing weeds,
shutting off the food supply of many
species, while zero weather made all appe-
tites more keen than usual. Most of us
served free meals to juncos, chicadees and
house sparrows, and some of us had more
distinguished guests. Some had tree spar
rows and nuthatches, and a number were
visited by downy and few by hairy wood
peckers. Even the bluejays controlled
their suspicious long enough to allow them
TO get a share of the suet, and they got a
large share, too. for they broke off very
big pieces and flew away with them, until
some of us were afraid that suet would
be off before the other birds had dined.
My own favorite guest has been little
chicadee with one leg; he keeps the other
so well tucked UP under his feathers that
it is seldom seen. Probably the frail men,
Der has been injured in some way, and its
wise little owner is giving it every chance
to get well. But the bird seems TO suffer ne
inconvenience; he flies well, stands up and
pecks vigorously at the suet tied to
branch or nailed TO tray, or takes it In
tiny bits, on the wing, as a hummingbird
takes nectar from a flower. He can also
cling to a twig upside down neatly as
his brethren. He was our first customer,
and perhaps it is this fact which leads him
to believe that he has certain rights TO
maintain. At any rate, he seems to con-
slider it his privilege to feed precisely when
he chooses and alone. If he is pecking at
a certain lump of suet other chickadee
is allowed on the same branch until he has
finished, but if he arrives at the restaurant
when another bird happens to be feeding.
the first conner is made TO retire and wait
until the one-legged chickadee has dined.
In attending to the wants Of to-day these
birds do not lose sight of tomorrow. After
eating a few bits of suet they always chip
off a larger piece, which they fly away
with and store in the cracks of some apple
trees which grow near by.
The birds are noticeably tanner druing
the cold weather; doubt as in the case
of men, hunger forces them to take greater
risks than would be necessary at other
times in order to obtain food. The crows
