why The british Gamble.

London knowledge.
What makes the average Britfsher
a gambler. both in his business and 10
his recreation, is his ignorance of the
laws Of probability. He speculates 10
the hopes of making a fortune, n
stead Of devoting his attention to es-
ttmating the probability factor which
often converts that fortune into an
expectation Of loss. 1t is important
that some knowledge of the theory Of
probabilities should form a part OIL
the most elementary education in Or
der to check this absur dand tnjurl-
Gus speculative tendency, and there
can be no better way Of making a
start than by showing that the results
Of the theory are borne ont by actual
experience. This has been done ina
recent book on chance by Joseph Co
hen. The author details the results
of many thousands of trials made by
tossing coin and throwing dice, also
with cards and Hanna pieces, and he
compares the numbers obtained by &C.
tual trial with those found by theory.
The result gives an interesting Idea
of the percentage divergence which fs
to be anticipated when the number Of
trials is finite and it is interesting
to see how this divergence isrsmall In
the case Of more probable events, and
becomes greater in the case Of the In

Brokers Can't Sell Liquor.

Raleigh, Special.-Judge Thomas R.
Purnell in the Federal Court here
created a considerable sensation by
charging the grand jury that it would
be their duty to return true bills
for selling liquor without license
against any parties in Raleigh who re-
eeived samples of whiskey from distil-
lers or wholesalers elsewhere and sold
by these samples to the Raleigh dis
Pensary or private individuals. 1t is
known that a number of brokers and
others have sold to the dispensary and
others in this way. The judge de-
clared that this practice was more
reprehensible than the "blind tiger"
vender who slipped around the corner
and sold whiskey by the pint.
