Of Lowry would take care that fair

render royal an affair in which no kingly

should characterize a press representing

expressed a view that in the stars we have
no longer to do With bodies of the type Of

THE BERTILLIoN SYSTEM.
A Story Showing How Mercilessly Sure Are
Its Measurements.

Its Measurements.
A young man who had been arrested
one morning for theft was called upon and
measured then and there, says Chambers
Journal. The process Is carried out by
two men, one OF whom applies the instru-
ment and calls out the figures, which are
entered Oh a card by the other, precisely as
in a tail0rs shop. The subject is bare
footed and bareheaded. The measurements
are taken in four minutes, together with
the height standing, the height sitting,
the length of the arms extended the
length and breadth of the car. This fin
ished, Mr.. Berillon, card in hand, inter-
rogated the prisoner:
What is your name?'
albert Felix.
Have you ever been up befoIe?'
mo never. ~
"Qnite sure?"
"Perfectly sure, with jaunty conf
dence.
As the young scoundrel was the leader
of a band this seemed highly improbable.
He was removed, and we proceeded te
the search. Section after section If the

a single drawer, and then down to two

remained one card. Mr. B4rtillon took it
up, hiding the photograph on 1t.
All the figures CORES pond exactly with
those Just taken of Felix He was recalled
and again questioned. He repeated MS
for..er statements, but obviously with less
confidence. Mr. Bertillon uncovered the
photograph, and there the fellow was to
the life as he stood that moment before us:
| 1t was most startling. But the origin on
/ the photograph was called Alfred Louis

The astonishing thing was that, out OF
the great roomful of cards, not a single

youth before ms, except that particular one
his own. Mistake is impossible.
