points Of the middle fingers of the hands
with the arms Outstretched; the height of
the trunk, the length and width OF the
head, the right ear, the left foot the left
middle finger, and the left forearm.
You will see, said the operator, that the
instruments are so designed and the pris-
Oner is compelled to assume such positions

that only the length Of the bones is Sc

fact, replied the chief, that the bones of
the body attain their full development at .
years of age. At that time their length is
determined for life. While measurements
are frequently taken at a younger age,
still we are not inclined to class such cases
as professional criminals.
This system is now in use in Boston,
Philadelphia. Columbus, and Joliet, as in
Chicago. and is rapidly commencing itself
for adoption to the auth critics of other
cities. As soon as the measurements of

careful examination Of something like 5000
photographs. a process requiring a long
time and only reaching result which de-
pended entirely upon the eZamtner's judZ-
ment and skill in pGysiOgnOmy. 1t is right
here that the efficacy Of BertilIOn's system
is apparent. It will take but a minute to
locate the record OF any criminal who has
previously been arrested within the juris-
dictiOD of any police department using the
system. it is done in this manner in the
BertillOn Bureau. and the identification and
record are found with no more difficulty
than word in the dictionary. Surprising
that there are 10000 photographs divided.

longs in. and we have iii photos left.

is barely possible that in the measurement
of ten thousand criminals there may be
two that CORES pond, yet the scars upon the
body, thick or thin lips, the shape or twist
Of the nose, the inclination of the facial
line, all of which are determined, not, as in
the old method, by the eye, but with mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy, from certain recognized
and fixed points upon the front and back of
the body, supplemented finally by the pho
tOgraph, render the Identification accurate
and comp Iete beyond doubt.
The metrlcaI system of measurement has
been adopted by all countries as it fur
nishes a basis for international use of the
BertillOn method, and is much sim pier than
the use Of feet and inches. To illustrate,
in recording, telegraphing, or writing one
meter, five centimeters, and three milE-
meters, We can write 1. 5. 3, and every one
would understand that by the metrIcal sys-

meters and nothing else, but unless def

all marks and scars upon his person, to-

and the contour and appearance Of his nose,
they are recorded on q card prepared for
the purpose, which is then forwarded to the
BertillOn Bureau at Chicago. where it is
placed on record. the original entries still
rem aiming at the local office. Should this
be a first offense the criminal is entitled to
what leniency the law allows. and when
sent to prison, instead Of being placed in a
cell with an old and hardened criminal who
would soon overcome what little moral
sense ne has remaining, he has for a cell
companion one who, like himself. is in a re-
pentant frame of mind and capable Of ref

in Boston or Philadelphia, the chief of police
wOul telegraph to Chicago. using a private
code OF words which stands for certain
measurements, and which are sent in the
Orderin which the measurements are taken.
BY this means the cost of a lengthy de-
scriptive telegram is saved, as it all comes
within the regulation ten words. On the
receipt of this message at the Central
Bureau the records are examined, all pre-
vious arrests, convictions, sentences, SER
