The Scientific Explanation of Luck
Foolish Depend Caprces Chance

is not in its application to games
of chance, but in the warning
which it gives against depending
upon luck for anything. II math-
ematiCs must have INFINITE
TINE as a basis in order TO re-
duce the vagaries of chance to a
regular law, how can any man ex-
pect, in the course of a brief life
time, TO strike a balance between
favorable and unfavorable turns,
over which he has no control?
The apparent favors of fortune
to him, though they may continue
long, are, after all, mere results
Of hazard. His coin seems to take
pleasure in always falling face
UP. but mathematics will inform
him Of the unhattering fact that
the coin cares nothing for him,
and will inevitably, when the I'M
discerned causes cease, just as
unhesitatingly turn its back to
him.
The thing for the "unlucky'
young man to do is to look into
himself and not into his luck. In
stead of changing from one thing
to another in search Of something
lucky, let him cultivate his intel
ngence and his viii power, and
select an occupation in which he
can discern the causes that pro-
duce success or failure. Nature
made him for something; let him
find out what that something is,
and then stick to it. After that
he can snap his fingers at luck.

But mathematics CAN deal with
the problem in another way. If
your coin ALWAYS fell heads up,
mathematics would tell you what
your own common sense should
reveal-that there was some con-
slant cause, such as extra weight
on one side-that governed the
fall.
II it fell sometimes heads and
sometimes tails, capriciously,
mathematics would tell you that
while it could not predict the re-
suit in any particular case. it
COULD assure you that, IN THE
LONG RUN, there would be an
equal number of heads and tails
presented.
Figured by Averages.
Mathematics arrives AT its re
suits by taking averages over eX-
ceedingly long periods Of time. In
fact, the mathematical theory, in
its completeness, involves INFT-
