THUMB AUTOGRAPHS.
Discovery of a New and Infallible
Method of Identification.
1rom the Melr York iSfnr.

from Ue 4fetO 4 OTE star.
Two men of science in two different coun-
tries-Mr Francis Cation in England an d
NJ. Bertillon in France-have lately recon-
mended means of Identification which
policemen and detectives, with all their in
genuity, seem never to have employed.
These gentlemen have observed that the
human thumb, dipped in ink, in blood, in
black lead, or in any other loose, adhering
substance, and pressed upon a sheet of paper,
leaves mark which is perfectly character
istic of the individual
MIR. Cation has remarked that no two
persons thumbs make the same mark. The
lines and depreSsions in the skin, which
make a series of wave lines when pressed
upon paper, are never the same in two diff
ferenJ individuals
1t is urged that this fact would be of-very
great value In the administration of Justice,
because criminals thumb mark would be
sure means of Identifying him, no matter
what disguise he might assume.
Ii business man wishes to make use of
signature which 1t is quite impossible to
forge or counterfeit, he has only to dip his
thumb in his ink bottle, and make his
mark with 1t in connection with his writ
ten name. No other thumb will make the
same mark, and it would be practically i'm
possible for any one to initiate this new
kind of autograph" with a pen or other
mechanical means.
I'm testimony whereof hereunto set my
hand and thumb" the new form of subscrip-
ton, may, some time in the future run, the
seal having by that time perhaps completely
gone out Of use, as it has now except on
official documents and with fashionable
| letter writer's
The experiment with the thumb mark
may be made by any one who will take a
knife blade, hold it over a lamp until it is
| black with smoke, allow it to cool, apply
the thumb to the black surface, and then
press it lightly upon slightly sticky bit of
paper, such as the back of postage stamp.
Examined with a magnifylng glass, the
| differences in the thumb marks of different
individuals come out very strongly.
According to Mr.. Cation, thumbs run in
family groups, dividing themselves, as it
were, into seven or eight distinct types or
| grand divisions, but within these divisions
the differences are SO marked as to leave
no chance for confusion.

street, to drain the street to prevent flood
ing the graves, as the heavy rains in the
early part of the week flooded several lots.

THEY ARE TOO NUMEROUS.
The Valley OF the Gauges the Most
Densely Populated Spot on Earth.

Densely Populated Spot on Earth.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The Valley of the Ganges has more
people than it can support and it is
probably the most densely populated part
of the world. The people live in villages
and the average country town consists of
one-story mud huts, too poor and lily VEN
tilated for American pig pens. You would
not think of having snch outhouses as the
residences of the majority Ct this vast pop
ulation would make, and in large part OF
India, and especially in the best part of this
Gauges country, the holdings average from
two to three acres apiece. At four to the
family this represents a half acre per per
son, or over 200 persons to the square
mile.
When it is remembered that these people
live by agriculture, it will be seen that this
condition IS far worse than that of China
or any part of Europe And still the peo-
pie are bright. They are brainy, too, and
you will find few sharper business men.
better cut faces and more polite people than
these people of India. Their faces in this
part of India have much the same charac-
teristics as those of the Anglo-Saxon. Those
OF the highest castles are more like those of
the Greeks, aud | see faces every day
which, If the skin were white any Ameri-
can might be proud to own. They belong
to the same race germ that we do, and
under the same training and christian in
tiuences they would be strong competitors
with us.
But what can a man do on cents dav.
or how can man learn when he has to
struggle to exist! The population of India
Is continually increasing. England eats the
lions share Of the products of the country.
and though the people are perhaps better
off under her government than they have
been in the past, it is the same old story of
the wealth going to the rulers and the peo-
pie working their flesh off their bones to
support them. The governor general of

PREPARING FOR TENT LIFE.
The Cadets Encampment at Tybet
week After Next.

The Savannah Cadets are busy getting
ready for their July encampment at Tybee.
The camp ground has been staked out, and
the lumber for the mess hall has been
ordered. The camp will be just north of
the Savannah aud Tybee railway track at
the Y junction. Adit.-Gen. Kell has
ordered thirty tents to Savannah for the
encampment and the company expects 10
have fifty men III camp.
Capt. Branch has issued a general order
of instructions for the information and
guidance of the company, and a complete
programme will be made up in a day or
two.
Strict discipline will be maintained, and
an instance of what the men are expected
to do is shown by the general order in
reference to the care Of quarters:
Immediately after revelle roll call the tents
must be thoroughly polced. and blankets in
fair weather, spread on the tent ropes to air.
All scraps Of paper, dirt refuse Of any kind
must be collected from the tent, or the space
about the tent, and carefully swept into the
company street, and in heaps, and then res
moved to the designated place The grass about
tents must be kept trimmed. Tents and grounds
must be scrupulously clean, aud nothing be
therein or thereon which il in any way cOnsd-
cred Objectionable. A daily inspection Of
quarters viii DO made in camp after guard
mounting. To prepare for it tents will be
dressed Tor Inspection every morning before
guard mounting.
1t is expected that Lieut.. o. NJ. Carter
will inspect the camp during the week
under orders of the war department
Capt Kepan of the Macon Hussa rs, a
thoroughly disciplined officer, will be in
camp with the company part of the week
at least.
The company will leave the city on an
early train on Monday morning, July Is,
and will remain in camp until Saturday,
| probably not longer. During the week it is
expected that some Of the other commands
will visit the camp and take part in the
dress parades. A series of entertainments
is being planned by the Cadets for their
lady friends. who will visit the camp during
the week, as a diversion of camp life. 1t is
the intention of the company to have some
| interesting feature every afternoon, either
in an individual prize or squad, company or
skirmish drill, closing always with a dress
| parade.
The company was instructed in guard
mounting and sentinel drill last mig hit, and
next week the company will meet every
night for drill and instruction.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE NEW POsToFFICE.
Work Expected 20 Begin Right Away
Now.

NOW.
Supt. Peck Of the new government build
ing was asked yesterday when the work Of
putting in the foundation walls will begin.
He replied that be had not yet received
official notice that the contract has been let,
although hs has private advices that Lane
q Malnati, Washington contractors, had
been awarded the contract
Mr.. Peck said that Mr. Lane was here
two weeks ago looking over the ground
preparatory TO bidding. and now that the
firm has been awarded the contract he does
not anticipate any delay. The contractors
being Washington parties, Alr. Peck said
they will doubtless get up their bond
promptly, and he expects that they will be
in Savannah the early part Of the week
prepared 10 20 to work. They had the
contract for the basement and area walls
The firm, Mr.. Peck stated, also had a like
contract Oh the government building at
Charleston, s. c.
The site has been inclosed and the old
shed on the adjoining property, purchased
by the government from Mr. Marmaduke
Hamilton, has been put in shape so that
the ground can be used by the contractors
IN the prosecution OF the work.
The next step in the work on the govern
ment building will be to advertise for
sealed proposals for the iron beams and iron
work, and this will be done soon, so that by
the time the basement and area walls rise
70 level with the surface, the contractors
for the iron work can go to work The
government, in the construction of its pub
lie buildings, advertises for sealed proposals
for each branch of the work, to insure
greater excellence of work in every part of
the building by those practically expe-
rienced in their several departments of
building construction.

THE GREEN STAMP TO GO.
1t is Probable That There Will Be a
Change in Size Also.

1t Is Probable That There VIII Be a
Change in Size Also.
The specifications just issued by the Post
master General for the guidance of bidders
under the next contracts for postage
stamps, provide for bids for two series
OF stamps of different Sizes one Of
them being the size now in use, the
other about one-third smaller II stamps
OF the larger siZe should be determined on
when the bids are in, the colors will be as
follows: One cent, ultramine blue: cent
metallic red; 3 cent, vermilion; cent milori
green; cent, chocolate; 6 cent, dark red /;
10 cent, light brown; Is cent, orange; so
cent black; 80 cent, carmine.
II stamps of the smaller size shouldIbe
preferred, the colors will be as follows: One
cent, ultramine blue; 2-cent, carmine; B.
cent, royal purple; 6-cent, chocolate; s.
cent, light brown; scent, vermilion: 10-cent.
mllori green; l5-cent, steel blue: 30-cent,
black; 9O-cent, orange. Under one form
OF bids the contractor will be allowed
extra compensation from all change from
the present designs, and in another form OF
bid, changes may be made at The will of the
Postmaster General without extra compen-
sation. From the above it viii be seen that
the color Of the 2-cent stamp will be
changed from green to either carmine or
metallic red.
Postmaster General Wanamaker believes
that the smaller sized stamp will be quite
rs useful and popular as the larger size now
in use, and by reducing the size of the
stamp material saving would be effected.
which could be proftably expended in a
better and in every way more desirable
color. The metallic red proposed under
one form of bid was the color of the 2-cent
stamp which Immediately preceded the
green 2-cent stamp now in use. No
changes in designs have yet been de.
termined upon
