Plunges headlong

HEADS, OR TAILS ?
Supposing a man to toss three
pennies in the air, what are the
chances of their coming down
all heads or tails ? That is a
question discussed in a recent
number of Nature, by Francis
Gallon, of the Royal Society.
He upsets a popular delusion
regarding the laws of chance.
It is obvious that at least two
of the coins thrown in the air
must turn up alike, for when
the coins are on the ground
there must always be either
two heads or tails showing. The
question, then, is as to the
chances of the third coin turn
ing up a head or a tail.
It is, of course, an even
chance whether a third coin
t urns one side or the other.
Is it, therefore, an even
chance that all three coins will
be alike? Mr. Gulton says
it is not an even chance, and
that the man who bets his mon
ey on such a theory would lose
in the en.l. He says the rela
tive chance of all three coins
turning up alike is two to eight,
and he figures it out in this
way: There are two different
and equally probable ways in
which a coin may turn up; there
are four ways in which two
coins may turn up, and there
are eight ways in which thre<
coins may do so. Of these
eight ways one is all heads and
another all tails. While it is
an even chance whether a third
coin is heads or tails, it is not
an evan chance that the third
coin will turn the same way as
the other two.
In order to tsst the matter,
Mr. Gulton tossed three coins
eight times. Only twice did
they come up alike, while the
third coin was equally divided
between heads and tails. Mr.
Galton then made 120 throws
of dice, with three dice in each
throw, the odd numbers count
ing as heads, and the even mini
"hers as tails. The 120 throws
were divided into three groups
of forty in each, and gave the
result of all alike, 8, 12, 8—
—total 28; as against not all
alike, 82, 28, 32—total, 92.
This seemed to settle the mat
ter, and indicated that the most
probable expectation in the case
of the dice was 30 to 90.
AN INDIAN’S REVENGE.
Some twenty years ago a
Klamath river Indian, at the
southern end of this county,
had a difficulty with three other
Indians, during which he was
killed, and at the same time
killed one of the other Indians.
Several years later one of the
surviving Indians died.
The Indian killed by the
other three in the trouble a
bove referred to had a boy a
bout one year old at the time.
He being now twenty-one
years old, and learning from
bis mother the circumstances
of Lis father’s death, watched
a good opportunity to kill the
only surviving murderer o' hi
saltier. He pretended at all
times to be very lieudly with
tlie surviving Indian of the
difficulty, but a few days ago,
while sinilliug pleasantly be
fore bis victim, suddenly pull
ed a sharp knife from beneath
his coat and slashed him acrons
the body, from the effects of
which wound the murderer of
his father died in a very short
time, and the assassin departed
to parts unkown.—[Yreka

LIMITS OF ELECTRICITY.
The principle hindrance to
the development of electrical
engineering, says Alexander
Siemens, must ho looked for in
the exaggerated expectations
tlint were raised, either by ig
norance or by design, when the
general public first seriously
thought of regarding electricity
as a commodity for every day
use. In its first stage the devel
opulent of the electrical indus
try was closely connected with
telegraphy; the second step
might be said to have been
taken when electric lighting was
introduced; and now' it seems
that transmission of power is
to he the problem which electri
cal engineer will have to grapple
with in the near future.
The success of electric tram
lines has undoubted contributed
to direct general attention to
the transmission ot power by
electricity, but great case will
have to be exercised so as not
to start in a direction that can
lead to no practical results.
Many schemes have been start
ed to introduce electricity, as
the motive power on the main
lines of railway, Mid to accele
rate at the same time the speed
of the trains, even up to 200
miles an hour. It would be
rash to say that' such a speed
would not be attained some day,
but none of these schemes can
be carried out on a commercial
basis with the means at present
at disposal.—Power.
CLEOPATRA’S PEARL.
Readers will easily cull to
mind the story which is told of
Cleopatra to illustrate her lux
urious habits of living, that she
dissolved in her wine a precious
pearl. No one seems yet to
have questioned what must
have tieen the effect upon the
drink, says Youth’s Compan
ion. hut Mr. Lewes question
quite pointedly the possibility
of such solution.
We are very sheep in our
grogariousness of error. When
one bold or stupid mutton takes
a leap, all leap after him. It
is rare to find men doubting
facts, still rarer to find them
doubting whether the facts be
correctly coordinated. Our
books are crowded with uuex
iiuiiued statements, which we
never think of examining.
Ho we not all believe that the
magnificent Cleopatra, regard
less of expense, dissolved in
her wine cup a pearl of great
price, as if it had been a lump
of sugar? Is not the 'Tact”
familiar to every one? Yet, l!
you test it, you will find the
fact to be that pearls are not
soluble i.i w ine. The most pow
erfii 1 vinegar attacks them hut
very slowly, and never entirely
dissolves them, for the organic
matter remains behind, in the
shape of a spongy mass larger
than the original pearl.
A SIGN OF MENTAL AC
TIVITY.
‘‘Tailing to one’s self is genet
ally considered a sign of a weak
brain,” said >• doctoryesterkay,
•‘but nothing could be a greater
mistake. It is a sign of an ex
tremely active brain. It may
be a strong or a weak intellect,
but the activity must be there
to cause this peculiarity. Jf
you will observe you will be
astonished how many people
you will meet on the street who
are thinking aloud. The talk
ing is done unconsciously. Of
ten people addicted to the habit,
if you called their attention to
it. would aver that they never
were guilty of such a thing.
Some of the brightest men 1
have ever seen do their think
ing outloud without knowing it,
and on the other hand, some of
the weakest individuals, men
tally, whom I have met m my
practice keep up a continuous
conversation with themselves.
So it seems that a man who
talks to himself must be one of
two extremes, a w ise man or a
fool. ” —Ex.

‘‘Harold,” she murmured, as
her head pressed against his
stalwart bosom, “Harold, do I
not hear the beating of your
fond heart?”
“Not exactly,” said Harold,

| I’m temporarily obliged to car

COWS MILKED WHILE YOU
' WAIT.
To take a cow from door to
door and milk her in presence
ot each customer, is the very
newest departure in the London
milk business. It is one that
is not lacking in boldness and
originality, and it deserves more
success than it is likely, we
fear, to meet with. The prac
tice is common enough in Egypt
where householders appreciate
of being able to judge for them
selves whether the animal from
which they draw their supply
looks healthy or the reverse.
But then the average Egyp
tian is not the slave of the llrit
:sh urban superstition which
demands that milk should look
thick and yellow in order to be
genuine. It is all in vain to us
sure most people in English
towns that pure milk is not ol
a rich yellow hue. and that as
a matter of fact it ought to he
white. They know better than
the cow and the milkmaid com
bined, and as they demand yel
lowness they are supplied with
it to their hearts’ content. All
that has to he done, and is done,
is to mix various coloring mat
ters with the fluid, and these
pigments usually are inocuous,
through not always so—London
Telegraph.
TOLD A LIE WITH IIIS
FINGER.
A little hoy, for a flick,point
ed his finger to the wrong road
when a man asked him which
way the doctor went. Asa re
sult the man missed the doctor
and liis little boy died becausi
the doctor came too late to take
a fishbone from his throat. AI
the funeral the minister said
the little boy was killed by u
lie which another boy told with
his finger.
I suppose that* boy did noi
know the mischief lie did. Oi
course nobody thinks he mcaiil
to kill a little boy when In
pointed the wrong way. lb
only wanted to have a little
fun. But it was fun that cost
somebody a great" deal. 11 In
ever heard the result of it, In
must have felt guilty of doing
a mean tiling. We ought neve,
to trifle with the truth.
TAKE A RAW EGG AS A
TONIC.
A raw egg is an excellent ton
ic. 11 prepared in the follow

drink : Put the yolk of an egg
into a dish with a teaspoonfui
of white sugar and a teaspoon -
ful of orange or lemon juice,
and beat lightly together with
a fork Put the whites on a
plate, and add a pinch of salt;
then, with a broad bladed knifi
beat it to a stiff' froth. Now,
as lightly as possible, mix all
together m Uie dish; then ai
lightly transfer it to a clean
tumbler, which it will near))
fill if properly made. It must
not stand in a warm place, at
it soon becomes liquid and loses
its snowy look. Any fruit juici
may be used in place of orange
or lemon.—New York World.
