DIR. Berullon, author of the French
system for the Identification of crimi-
mails, says that, as matter of fact, it
is impossible among 100, 600 individu-
ais to lind two persons with ears exactly
alike, except in the case of twin
brothers. This is one Of the reasons
why he was able to start new era in
police science.

A Washington letter says: Surpris-

extremely interesting from the point
OF view Of anthropologists The skull
reveals all the marks of the criminal
type, as recognized by science to-day.
As shown by it the military hero, SO
worshiped and reyered even now in
South America, was a murderous and
bloodthirsty brute The Uranium has
even the so-called "fossa Of Lom-
broso," which modern criminologists
have never discovered except in con-
tirmed and habitual enemies Of society.
The skull is abnormally broad. An
other anatomical peculiarly is the in
step, which is extraordinarily high.
The latter was a feature of his con-
quering race. 1t recalls the warrior
indefatigable on the march, whether
on the desert tracts Of the coast or in
the wids of the Peruvian Cordilleras.
AS to his age, reliable evidence is TO
the effect that Pizarro was little
more Than seventy years old when he
died.

An Almost Unknown Country.

Lower California, which somebody
periodically threatens to purchase and
bring under the territorial dominion
OF the United States, is the longest of
North American peninsulas 1t is Of
about the same area as Florida. Its
greatest length is about 800 miles,
and its greatest width about 156 miles.
The whole peninsula is subtropioal In
climate and productions, and its ex-
treme southern end is just within the
torrid zone. The coast line on gulf
and ocean is about 100 miles in
length. The population is sparse, and
the means of communication SO unde-
veloped that it is one of the most re-
mote regions in the civilized world.
The gulf ports are almost unknown to
the people ofthis country. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A united civilization mourned
with France as she laid her dear
dead down, done to the death at
the assassin's hand, but not are the
funeral rites performed ere the as
sassin's knife again drinks the life
blood of the courageous editor who
denounces the assassin's act. 1t is
time for the governments of all
lands to make common cause
against the thugs who have sworn
hostility to all government on the
points of their poinards, and who
have covenanted to destroy all
who denounce their damnable de-
termination to put the rulers of all
lands to the knife in the interest
of anarchism.

1t was a hot fight to prevent the
recommendation for cutting down
the representation of the Southern
Republicans in the National con-
vention from passing the National
League. There is no real reason
why that representation should not
be cut down, as the party in the
south sends no members of Con-
gress and gives no aid to the cleo
toral ticket, nor has it done so for
twenty wears.
