If the law of chance really puts a flaw In the prospects of the gambling bank it Is preposterous to suppose th at any Individual player can prove It.

Sir H iram says th a t each Individual play against the bank stands alone und can hRve no connection w ith the previous or the following play.

No doubt the birds can tell the seasons by the sun If they care to. If the w eather nnd the food supply cau account for the Septem ber flight of tbe birds it Is singular th at the re su lt Is not uniform . It Is said that birds which live on Insects must go south lu winter, because Insect life Is killed In Uie north by frost. B ut there Is in- ect life in the south all the year round, yet the birds m igrate north In spring on schedule time, oveu though the northern w inter lingers “in tho lap of spring." Some birds Hint live on seeds w inter In the north aud fare ss they enu. O ther seed ra tin g birds go south apparently because the habit runs In the blood. The whole subject Is Involved In m ystery for man, hut evidently the m ystery lies deeper than the mere haste or delay of w eather changes nothamble to man.
