ANTHRoPoMETRY THE THING.
The Rogues' Gallery to be Strengthened
 by a Curious Device.

The Rogues' Gallery to be Strengthened
 by a Curious Device.
 Criminals throughout the city may be dis. pleased to learn that the officers of the Gen. tral office are studying up n new system that promises to aid the bluecoats in detecting and identifying thieves of high and low degree. It is known as the anthropometric system, and has been brought to the attention of a noted detective of Joliet. The word comes from two Greek words, and it means having reference to the measurement of human beings The police are now compelled to trust entirely to the Rogues' Gallery for means of identification. The new system is intended as an addition to the gallery. At police headquarters there are half dozen photographs of a noted burglar now at liberty. No two of these pictures are alike, and that fact is made the basis of an asser- tion that it is sometimes impossible to identify the original of a picture. The new system consists in merely collecting carefully taken measurement of certain parts of criminals bodies.
 In future, when dangerous suspect is ar rested, a registry will be taken of the width and length of his head, the length of his left forearm, the length and breadth of his left foot, the length of the little and middle fin gers of both hands, the length or MS rlgns ear, size of his mouth, a description of his nose and eyes, the size of bis chest while standing, the length of his body while seated, the length of his legs and entire body, the size of hls neck, the full stretch of his arms, and the breadth of his back from shoulder to shoulder. Particular attention will be paid to deformities, marks or scars. All the will be taken with graduated rules, caliper compasses and one or two other trustworthy instruments. The record will be kept in a book, which will contain printed directions and formula for the ex- aminer.
 The police think it great innovation. They say these measurements will be found perfectly trustworthy, as mans figure and general profile rarely changes after maturity The innovation is the property of M- Pestii- lon, and was first introduced at the Prison congress in Rome two years ago.-New fork Mail and EypreSS
