CURED which revived almost forgotten
memories of racial hatred. From now
until the middle of September the Ger
mans will continue their celebrations and
before these festivities cease it is difficult
matter to foretell how angry the eXcita-
BILE French mind may be. France looks
upon the celebration as an affront and
.he German government has made no
ssffort to lessen the pain it may cause.
France and Germany have been likened
to two express trains travelling along at
high speed in opposite directions on the
same set of rails. Sooner or later there is
bound to be collision.
All the famous battletields will be vis-
tied by the Germans. and on the respec
tive dates of each battle the remnants of
the commands which participated will be
the heroes OF the day. They will be dec
Grated with medals struck from the can
non captured from the French. Monu-
ments commemorative of deeds OF valor
will be unveiled. All this will be nectar
to the German and poison to the French.

with desperation. as did also the Prus-

There was a cessation until the 10th,
when the attack against Bazaine was
again taken up, this time at the suburb
of Nionville, much closer to Metz than
the place of :he first battle. All day long
the battle continued and at nightfall the
French still held their position. Both
sides claimed victory in this battle.

The German veterans OF the Franco
Prussian war have Just begun celebra-
tion which is not a bit pleasant to the
people OF France.
Twenty-Five years ago this month the
Germans began the raids upon the AL
sace-Lorraine district, driving the French,
under the Emperor Napoleon, the great
MacMahon and Marshal Bazaine, like SO
many sheep. August OF 1870 forms
black epoch in the history OF France.
Tho Germans will this year cee-
brate 1t with a hiliarity born of the
memory of the wonderful victories OF
Won Moltke sand the oldsKing William.
This may widen the breach between the
two nations, which have been antag-
enistic for centuries. In fact, history
shows that the Celt and the Tuetons were
foes when the Christian era was in its
infancy, and what was true eighteen CEN
truies ago is true today, notwithstand-
ing the march of civilization.

he knew its natural advantages and dan
gers. He manipulated the great army
like piece of machinery.
The frontier forces of the Germans we're
divided into three great armies. mum ber-
ing IN all 4l2, 600 infantry, 800 cavalry
and l440 guns. At the head of one army
was the Crown Prince Frederick, who
had already won fame in the Denmark
and Austrian campaigns. All the little
details hal been attended tu by tie Ger
mans down to the force OF grave diggers
which followed each army, and the label
worn around the neck OF each soldier. so
that he could be identified II he were
killed.
Against this magnificent array the
frontier forces of the French were almost
pitiable. They consisted OF 165. 600 inian-
try. is, 900 cavalry and 456 guns. Its re-
serve corps only numbered 6l.50O in
fantry, l., $50 cavalry and 1913 guns. This
was line force to pit against million
and quarter of the best drilled soldiers
in the world. 1t is no wonder that when
the slaughter was all over the French
people were ready to tear the emperor
apart limb by limb.
The French forces were distributed
along the frontier. so that they had in
their rear. the fortified towns of Metz,
Strasburg. Bitszche, rhalsbure, Thion-
Vile. Toul and number OF smaller
places.
On July 23d the Prussians began by

of KehI, connecting that town with Stras-
burg. The next day some Prussian

The generally accepted method for the
examination OF blood is to mount the
specimen some fluid medium generally
recognized. The ordinary way in fresh
blood is 10 prepare single layer on a
glass slide, and when it is dry to place it
under the microscope. The knife -scraping
process resorted to in Brooklyn would de-
stroy the dimensions and contour of the
corpuscles and render them unfit for cor
rect analysis.
Another TACT which goes to show that
science as a detective can hardly be relied
upon is this: To obtain q correct aver
age measurement of blood corpuscles at
least 400 corpuscles should be measured.
In the dust scrapings taken from young
Henry's shirt no mention has been nude
OF the number found or examined, but on
those conditions the number could not
have been large.
Reproductions of photographs of greatly
enlarged blood corpuscles taken from hui
man and dog blood are shown here, and
it can easily be seen that to distinguish
the mind of man..
The old fashioned sleuth detectives are
taking a deal of interest in the Henry
case, as they are anxious to see what
science will do to fix the crime. Here it
should be said that the average detective
he knows nothing about it. There is one
thing about science in .rime which al
ways forces the police to oppose it, and
that is the case with which the arguments
of one scientist are torn apart by the
otner. The average jury knows little
about the matter, and the wranglings Of
the experts leave them in doubt and
doubt in the jury in cases OF capital
crimes makes the duty difficult one.
On the other hand, science in the cases
OF Carlyle Harris and DR.. Buchanan, both
wife poisoners. had something to do with
their convection. Both of these men
were unusually we'll endowed mentally.
and their crimes had to be met by
unusual means. Yet the scientists pro-
duced on both sides fatty contradicted
one another. It was the work OF the po-
lice detectives in showing up the previous
records of the men, their evil inclina-
tions and general bad character, that had
the most weight with the jury. Science
unaided by these facts would never have
secured the convictions.
case, one of the detectives who in the old
days had been the right-hand man OF In
spector Byrnes, when the latter was at
the head Of the Central Office. said that
1t would never secure conviction. The
famous thirty-third degree resorted to by
Byrnes, he said, worked more surely with
the average criminal than all the science
IN the world. The tendency of the po-
lice nowadays, he said. was to call in the
use of science to the detriment of the old
methods, which were much more certain
and convincing to jury, as they were
based upon facts which could not be dis
puted by antagonistic experts.
