Not far from Mariço City, near the end of the shortest of thems four, Astay causeways leading aut of the sacient Tenochtitlaa, is the nost cemetery in the Republic-the Pantoon de San Fernando. Among thoʻovenses through which von ps to reach this interesting suburb is one called Baltadalos Hombres flustran-The Stret of [lastrious Mon"; but most of Marico's heroes now reside a little farther on, in the moro silent quartar 1.San Fernando, either copulebred in. costly marble or sheived in the Columbaria, after the city fashion of this country. Some of these tombs are benatifal beyond description, in songs of them the rarestonya having bion used in the most lavish dauner. Here it is customary to set photographs of the dead in their grave-stones, and to keep lamps perpetually barning before them, the sacred Ramón religionsly ended by sno oessive generations.

Of course this is wrong; the changes for head and for tail no esan for that sa for every other toss. The wrong as in this area is the

A cambűng bystander wat-] ching the losslag might prefer the "vain" fancy; And a Staipreets who had ben actually tossing winning when "head" appeard, would nasured I think he was "in the vein," and to sand a tune flat the odds were prob thly four to one in four of his getting another “head” at the tossing. The selauos of probabilities comes in an orplains, what ought to be obvious, that the port tossing is quite independent of all the past anne, and that, tho" betting shoald ba ́ even on "Bond and on tail." Bat Reffon and the other follows who tried the experiment at teasing a voin many thousad lines prored this experimentally. For in all the multitudinous "Washington of Morico, Atiala it was fonad that there was not the lightest trans of a tendency towards "head" after rons of "tails," or vice versa. There were many squauers of een tan or twolveLeads," yet following those “head” came nsoftɔu us “tuil.” It cannot be too oftění poicíed out that the tendonoy to sumerical equality of results. when the chances for one as olhos of two possible arents are oraal is not a fandenop to minuteness of absolute difference, bat to mingloness of ro Estivo diftereaCo. "A lucotruto Gambler" cannot for the life of him see, he told us why the mathematical changes should come right in a million tosses any mora than in two. He is right moogh if he imagines the mathematical chances point to absolute aquility. In a million tossings, the ovnat actually most probable winong pay millions of millions of millions of possible events (the catnal membora is to raised to the power san milson, a number containing 301031 digits, which I would rather not caleulata) is that there shpall to 500,000 bonds and 500,000 || the following insulting couplet - tails. Yes this chance though the largest amonga namber of chances which are exceedingly minute. The odds are many thousands to bas against ab- solito equality. But they arestany thousanTs to one against numbers of hands or falls disp portion as 500,500 to 199,500. Now, in tessing coin only four times there are sixtoon possible events, and in six of these than heads equal the tail; so that there is a fair changs of actual equality. On the other hand, in the remaining ten oakes the disproportion is as great as br greater than, rafu one and in cases unt of the sixteen all four tossing are the same, so that odds are seven to
