Heavy Losses at Monte Carlo Prove Big Card for AdVertising-Many Systems Offered the GuIIibIe
 Yet Casino Continues
 to Make Profit.

London.-There Is one infallible way of winning money at Monte Carlo, writes a correspondent of the London Times, and that is this: When fat man is spinning the wheel bet on the high numbers; when it is thin man bet on the low. It stands to reason does it not?-that a small man can not throw big numbers. Another good plan is to put your stake in front or you, shut your eyes and push it out on the table with a rake. The god or chance, being blind, naturally likes blind people. Which also stands to req son, does it not? There you have the whole philosophy of roulette.
 Of course there are people who tell you that you have no right to begin to gamble until, at least, you know the order of the numbers, both on the wheel and the table, by heart Other wise, how can you tell the voisins- the neighboring numbers-to the last throw but one, so that you can know where the ball is coming back to!
 Also you can buy elaborate and in faIIible systems, which makes no men tion of fat men or thin men, at fifty shops in Monte Carlo. For forty francs you can buy a system which tells you how, on a capital of f2O, you can -"infallibly"-f10 a day. There is another. much sold, which offers you 1000 chances to win against one chance to lose.
 Casino Always Wins.
 Others guarantee nearly guar antee-a winning of from 800 to 1,OOO francs a day, and there are any quan- tity of systems under which losses" are Impossible" Yet, in spite of it all the Casino is one of the most sue cessfuI business institutions in Europe, and will doubtless weather even the difficulties of the exchange and the rise in the cost of living.
 Three days ago there a man won, at one of the tables, 37,000 francs at single coup. The rules, it should be explained, forbid a larger stake than will produce more than 5000 francs at a single bet But, having staked the limit on an individual number, you can also lay bets-each to the Hinton the various combinations Of that number as well as on the "color," the high or low, odd or even, the 'dozen"-whether the first, second or third of thirty-stx numbers-and so forth
 I am told, but have not calculated it, that it is thus possible to win over S0,OO0 francs on a single turn of the wheel. But 37,OOO is good enough and the friend who had seen it and told me added: And that loss of 37,OOO will be worth 37OOOO to the house." He probably underestimated it.
 As it was three days ago, the man who won the money has probably lost it again by now and in any case the fame of it has gone far abroad and brought any number of new gamblers to the table. It is by such advertise ments that the Casino thrives.
 They Keep at It.
 Almost every year new books telling you hoy to win at Monte Carlo are published. Every year series of charm ing articles are written for one journal or another analysing various "sys- tems." One presumes that the writers receive no payment from the Casino for their labor. But how handsomely it could afford to pay them! There is surely no money making institution in the world which gets so much and such admirable free advertisement as the Societe des Rains de Mer Gas the proprietary organization is called of Monte Carlo.
 The one cardinal and dominant fact is that there is always one extra
