The opening of the Alaska coal fields, and the placing of that coal on the market, will be matters of con- siderable im Dortauce to the whole Pa cifc coast, aud in a large way to the entire country. For one thing 1t will give the naval vessels on the Pacific a cbeap and abundant supply of fuel
 of the best quality for naval uses, and
 thus will leave with no further foun-
 dations one of che arguments which hae been advanced against keeping Q strong fleet of naval vessels in the waters of the Pacific. It will cost DO
 more, possibly considerably less, to
 keep battleship in commission off this Coast than 1t does to keep a yes. sel of the same type in commission on the Atlantic, as soon as the Alaska coal is available for pavsl uses.-P.-I.

GAMBLERS ARITHMETIC HAS
CAUGHT MANY VICTIMS

The gamblers superstition that
in a series of disconnected events
each depends in some occult way
on what has gone before is hard
to kill. In reality theory, practice
and common sense all unite in de-
claring that the chances of turning
heads or tails are always precisely
even, just as if the penny had not
been tossed before.
The run of II is, Of course, ante
cedently very improbable, but after
the run of 10 has actually occurred
there is no greater improbability of
the eleventh head than there was
of the first. This superstition is at
the bottom of most gamblers "sys-
TENS" and has numbered it's VIC
tins by the score.
An interesting controversy over
one of these systems has been 60
ing on in the London press be-
tween a Mr.. Herbert Vivian, who
has devised such a system, and Sir
Hiram Maxim, the inventor, who is
vainly trying to convince him that
it is based on fallacy.
Mr.. Vivian takes refuge in the
usual argument of the so-called
practical man." In theory, he says,
doubtless Sir Hiram is right; in
practice run really does affect
subsequent chances. Relying on
this, he has devised what he calls
the pattern" system for winning
at roulette. Watch the game, he

says, until you see the reds and
blues are turning up in some regu-
lar order, no matter what. then bet
against the continuance of that or
der. Mr.. Vivian advises that the
player wait until the pattern" has
run 25 or 80 times, which gives Sir
Hiram his chance. He points out
to Mr.. Vivian that a run of 81 oc-
ours, according to the law OF
chance, only once in 2,147,4S3,64e
even chances. These, at the ordi-
nary rate of play, would require
about PLAZA years.
In this time, while the player
with a dollar was waiting for his
favorable chance, his brother who,
we will say, had invested another
dollar at per cent compound in
terest, would be worth so much
that it would take more than a
million solid spheres of pure gold,
each of which would fill the whole
solar system from the center of the
sun to the orbit of Neptune to pay
him off. While the gambler is
waiting, under these conditions, to
win his dollar coal and iron will
have been exhausted from the
earth, mountains will have sunk
into the sea and much that Is now
sea will be dry land. The earth S
diameter at the equator will have
increased, while it's polar diameter
will have diminished-and so on.
