A Terror to Criminals.

M. BertillOn's recent successes in the
Identification of anarchists have drawn
much attention to the AnthropOmetric
department of Paris, over which he
presidcs He is the official Of whom
the habitual criminal is most in dread,
for he has brought his system to such
state of perfection that five minutes
sometimes suifices for the discovery OF
the photograph taken perhaps years
ago, and to which are appended vari-
Gus telltale details, including the dates
of the condcmnations which the culprit
has already undergone. The case with
which this is done is all the more re-
markablc owing to the fact that the
department contains upwards OF one
hundred and fifty thousand similar
documents. Everything is SO we'll
classified that photographs which may
not have been looked at for years are
promptly discovered. Nine measure
ments of prisoners are taken, and the
men employed in this work are SO ex-
pert that it is done in few minutes.
After undergoing this process the cul-
prit is photographed. Occasionally re-
sistance is offered, but this is rapit.. y
overcome There is no deceiving Nj.

Nearly Half Million in MOney-Many
Precautions Taken Against Lightning.

Precautions Taken Against Lightning.
st. Paul's cathedral is insured. says
"Spare Moments" Out of the total
proceeds of the fabric fund, for keep
ing the building in repairs. about $4,000
year-S1.25 is expended on Il policy
of insurance against fire. The church
is insured to the extent of $i95,O0). So
far as human precautions are of avail.
the cathedral is secure against light
ming on scientific plan which was
suggested by the Royal society, as far
back as 1863.
The seven iron scrolls which support
other rods. used as conductors. which
unite them with several large iron
bars descending obliGuely to the stone
work of the lantern. and connected by
an iron ring, with four other iron bars
to the leadcn covering of the great
cupOla. distance of fifty feet. Thence
the communication is continued down
ward by the rainwatcr pipes to the
lead-cOvercd roof, and thence again by
leaden water pipes which pass down
into the earth, partly through iron,
and partly through lead. On the clock
tower. looking down Ludgate Hill, a
bar of iron connects the pineapple or
namentatiOn at the top with the iron
staircase which leads up to it inside,
and thence to the lead on the roof of
the church.
The bell tower at the northwest an,
gle is similarly protected. BY these
means the metal used in the building
is made available for the work of CON
ductors, the metal itself being en-
ployed merely for that purpose. being
exceedingly small in quantity when
compared with the bulk of the fabric
which it serves to secure.

HOW TO KILL CROCODILES.
Shoot Them or Catch Them on . Line and
Take an Ak.

There are two ways of killing croco-
dies, writes an ex-resident of India.
One is by shooting with a rifle, but the
most satisfactory way of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing. is to bait good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten it by
chain to a good long rope, the end of
which is firmly plcketed, the rope be-
ing coiled and the bait lain in shallow
water. There must be lots of slack
line. as the crocodile does not swallow
anything at once, but SEXES it and
takes it into deep water to gorge, 4
number of lines may be laid and looked
up in the morning or cool of the even
ing.
When hooked 1t will take good
many men to haul a crocodile out, and
as he resents the operation and can use
his tail as we'll as his Jaws, one or two
sportsmen will find considerable enter
tainment in dispatching him with
spears.
Some crocodiles grow to enormous
size, and their maws always contain
round white stones and often trinkets
the relics of inside passengers. The
writer assisted at the death of not
extraordinarily large 'snubnose" which
had six women's rings in her.

IRRIGATION IN THE WEST.
The Vast Engineering Works Of the Great
American Desert REGION.

The Vast Engineering Works Of the Great
American Desert Region.
Very few people realize what vast
engineering and construction problems
are being solved out west in what a
few years ago was termed the Great
American Desert region, says Land
and Water. The same desert region is
of remarkable fertility when water is
supplied by irrigation plants. The
S,wcctwater dam, in southern Cali
fornia, is the pride of it's builders and
is worth many millions to the lands it
renders fertile. In Arizona an immense
canal is being built, which will utilize
part of the surplus waters of Colorado
and irrigate 100000 acres of land. In
New Mexico, in Eddy county, is the
second largest irrigation plant in the
United States. To secure an abund-
ance Of water at all times, two i'm
mense reservoirs were constructed
capable of storing 5000, 1000, 900 cubic
feet of water.
Some idea of the size of these arti-
fetal lakes may be had when it is
mentioned that one of them is thirteen
miles long by four miles wide. The
water from these reservoirs is con-
Quoted through some 1900 miles Of
canals and bitches and irrigates or will
irrigate 100000 acres of land, mostly
fruit and garden land. Imagine a
water-worl1s plant with reservoir 49,
600 feet square and having 1,2OO miles
of mains. 1t took three years to build
this plant. Yet others as great or
greater are projected and will be con-
structed. The future effect of all this
vast labor and skill is not easy to pre-
dict. In many places they have surely
made the desert bloom and turned
poverty into wealth.

AN ARMLESS NIMROD.
HaGs More Game Than Any Other Hunter
in the Same County.

An armless NimrOd is the wonder of
the people and the envy of the sports
men of Bucks county, says the Phila-
delphia Record. He is John Simon. of
Zion Hill, and his prowess is some
thing marvellous. Simon's arms were
ground off above the elbows in ma
chinery few years ago, but his love
OF hunting spurred his ingenuity. and
he overcame his seeming insurmounta-
BILE obstacle. He straps his single
rel, breech-1oading hammerless gun to
his right arm, and when he sights
game he swings the piece over the
stump of his left arm. takes ouicl, aim
and fires, generally with telling effect.
His mode of loading is as uniqc as his
shooting. He carries the shells in his
hat, and when he wants one bows low
drops his hat on the ground, pulls out
the empty shell with his teeth and in
similar manner loads, then pushing
his head into his hat to recover his
head. Despite his affection, Simon
has done some of the best SHOOTING in
Bucks county the past year, his record
Standing: Sixteen opossums, five
pheasants, five dozen blackbirds. thirty.

a BENEVOLENT BARON.
His Big Winnings on the Turf Distripu'o"
Among the Poor.


Rather more than a year since, says
the London Telegraph, we gave hst
of the charitable donations bestowed
nv Baron de Hirsch in 1893 upon the
hospitals. homes and benevolent lnstl-
tutions which he had selected as reclp-
tents of the large sums of money won
by him upon the turf in public stakes
in 1891 and 1892. In the first of these
wears the baron won about $4,000 and
in the second year about Sl73.ooo' IN
Guiding such small items as moneys
paid to the second in selling races and
the prizes attaching to second and third
places in general races. Altogether
the sum amounted to about S21O,OOO,
and this munifcent gift represented
the baron's gross winnings in public
stakes. from which no deduction was
made for the expense of training large
stud of horses, for travelling charges,
forfeits, stakes. Jockeys fees and other
items comprised in the large and
swollen bills with which owners OF
race horses are but too familiar. 1t
was universally admitted that the for
tunate owner of the famous mare La
Fleche, by whom the greater portion
of the above named large sum was
won, had displayed great generosity
in giving away all his winnings for
charitable purposes without subtract
ing his expenses. What is to be said,
however, when, as in the present in
stance, the example set by the baron
in 1893 is not only followed but dupli-
Gated in 1894? During the racing sea-
son which close in November last
Baron de Hirsch's horses won in public
stakes about 1915 This seemed to
him. and to the kindly almoner
through whom in both cases the
baron's bounty has flowed, to be
but a small sum for distribu-
ton IN comparison with the no.
BILE contribution to London charities
made in the previous year Under
these circumstances the baron re-
marked that, without establishing a
precedent. he had made up his mind to
double the sum that his gross winnings
amounted to in 1898, and accordingly
he drew check for $4,000, which he
handed to his friend for distribution.
1t was his wish that this sum should be
divided among London hospitals and
charita BILE institutions, and 500. 800 was
thus disposed of. the balance remain
ing having been reserved for Sundry
I
