LUCK At MONTE CARLO.
A Fly Which Cost the Gambling Room
Small Fortune.

A Fly Which Cost the Gambling Room
Small Fortune.
About Jan. %. 1904, a curious thing
happened at Monte Carlo. The super.
stition of gamblers is we'll recognized.
but it is seldom that their reliance upon
omens brings them such luck as was
the case OH the above date. At what
Is known as the suicide" table in the
Monte Carlo gambling rooms the fol-
lowing remarkable incident occurred:
A fly alighted on No. 10 on the rou-
lette table at the time when the play
ers had suffered persistent run Of
hard luck. The superstitious gamblers
exchanged covert glances and searched
their pockets for money with which to
stake. In a few moments the middle
dozen"-that is to say. the Nos. 13 to
24-were literally covered with stakes.
Then an elderly gambler arose and
piled napoleons round the square on
which the fly had alighted, thus back
ing the numbers from 10 to II. Less con-
fident players staked smaller amounts
on the ''transversales."
The ivory marble was sent spinning
round the roulette wheel. There was
q moment of suspense and then the
croupier announced the winning num-
ber-13. But what is far more extraor-
binary the same number came up three
times in succession.
That dy cost the casino over $4,000.

The symp.thet;e Watch.

The sympathetic watch is all very
we'll. writes a correspondent. but there
are many who find that their watches
can never be relied upon to behave
regularly. Generally the wearer is
found to be Of very nervous disposi.
tion. and it certainly looks as If this
communicated itself to the watch.
One inherited by the writer. which
had kept good time for years. imme.
diately developed erratic tendencies
when worn by him and has never got
out Of them. Only once for a brief
space did a watch go regularly with
him. 1t was a Swiss one, which had
varied when worn in England. but
kept accurate time on Swiss holiday.
And the question was whether it was
the wearer's temporarily braced nerves
or the effect of its native air on the
watch that did the trick. = London
