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.
H undreds of people are playing all the
time, and, although they w in occasion

H iram says th a t each Individual play

It seem s th a t the m igration of the
birds Is not regulated by tbe state of
the w eather. D uring the hot w eather
of Septem ber the birds which have
usually moved to r the gulf regions
w ith the first chill wind from the north
wero on their travels, Just ns though
they had a fixed schedule. 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.
