CATCHING CRIMINALS.
Their Identity Established by a System OF
Measurements.

The system which was invented by
NJ. Bertillon consists in recording the
measurement of divers bony parts of
the human frame-parts which do not
alter with any change which age or ac-
cidcnt or device may make in the mus
cular tissue and are not affected by the
subsequent thinness or corpulence of
an individual. These measurements
are: Full height, height when sitting.
length and breadth OF the skull, length
of middle and little fingers of left hand.
length Of left forearm and foot and full
stretch of the arms: the length and
width of right ear, the color of the hair
and eyes, and any sears, moleS, etc, on
hands, arms, face and bust are also ac-
curately recorded. With these data NJ.
Bertillon is able to establish the ident-
ity of any criminal who has been
through his hands.
The way in which he accomplishes
this is ingenious and merits some ex-
PLANTATION. He divides each measure
ment into three classes-the large, the
medium and the small. We will sup
pose that he has 1000 sets of measure
ments before him to classify. He com
mences by the length of the head, Sc
lecting that measurement because the
skull of the adult never grows, and the
measurer cannot be deceived, as he
might be in taking the full height of
the body BY this means he is enablet
to reduce the 90, 900 into three categor-
les of about 80, 600 each.
The width of the head is treated in
the same manner, and the classes are
reduced to 10000 each with broad,
medium, or narrow skulls. The length
af the middle finger provides another
divisor, and further reduces each class
to 5000 BY the length of the left foot
the divisions are brought down to
about /, 100 each, and the length of the
fore arm reduces them to less than 400
each. The original 10000 has thus
been divided into 243 groups, each con-
tanning between 300 and 400. This
number is still too large for working
purposes, and SO the 400 persons are
divided into three more classes. of
about $40 each, according as they are
tall, short, or of medium height.
The length of the little finger will
further reduce this to lots of less than
so each, and, finally, by the color of the
eyes, of which NJ. Bertillon distin-
cuisines seven varieties, the classes are
brought to parcels which should aver
age about seven each, but which in
reality vary from 3 to 20, some colors
being more frequent than Others This
completes the particulars used for
classification, but, in order to eliminate
even the remotest chance of error,
there are added the length and width
of the right ear-which form valua
BILE indication-the height when sit
ting and the full stretch of the arms,
