A Murders Outline Appears In His Vic-
Tins Pupil.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y. Dec. 21.--Photo.
graphic science may have given the first
tangible clue to the identity of the MUIR
derer of Mrs Sherman and Mrs Davis.
Several have been the suspects and the
clues followed up without success. but
today the impression of the murderer
has been found on the retina OF Mrs.
oherman's eye.
The photograph was taken by Fred S.
Marsh local photographer. and to
him is due the credit OF having originated
the idea of examining the organ. The
existence of the impression OF the mur.
derer on the eye was first discovered by
means of powerful microscope. I'm
for tunately the features of the man could
not b: seen as the view obtained shows
only the hack and little of the side.
An apparently big man is represented
with bushy whiskers and wearing a long
overcoat. The trousers appear to bt
badly wrinkled.
The coroner has taken out both the
ewes of the murdered woman and an
other photograph will be taken by q
skilled photographer. No impression
was discovered on Mrs. Davis eyes.

A simple but effective practice is in
vogue in Germany for determining, with.
out the aid of chemist, whether a fabric
of silk or wool is free from admixture of
cotton fibers, of flax, china grass or other
vegetable constituents. A piece of the
stuff to be examined, say about 8 inches
square, is, after careful cleaning, plunged
into strong sulphuric acid, water being
afterward added, and the whole boiled. In
about five minutes the fluid is poured into
a clean vessel and made strongly alkaline
by saturation with caustic soda, then add
ing few drops of dissolved orchil, and
the mixture is warmed for several min
utes up to temperature of $50 degrees.
Now, If only l per cent of vegetable
iibers exists in the fabric, the reddish vio-
let color of the orchil is preciEitated, or, If
this takes place only after heating for
more than five minutes, the quantity
amounts to less than per cent. 1t is alb
solutely necessary, however, that starch
should be removed carefully from the stuff
to be examined, as the presence of that
substance vitiates the result. In testing
goods alleged to be silk the result is at
tanned more easily by plunging the sample
into hydrochloric acid, the fiber of silk be.
ing very soluble in such acid and If the
material contains wool or cotton it re-
mains behind.-New York Sun,
