HOW PHOTOGRAPHS OF. HAIR
Led to a Man Being Convicted OF the
Murder of His Wife===f1Ow an
italian Bond Forgery
Was Unearthed

Glancing over my diary, that OF gov
eminent chemist, | have found many in
teresting notes, which form a contempo-
rary history of the advancement in the
knowledge of fighting crime. In the
fight for existence all beings develop those
organs and weapons which are needed
most for defense against enemies. As
crime advances it becomes the duty OF
those who fight it to gam all available
knowledge which may be an aid IN the
delicate task of tracing up crime and
furnishing the perpetrators. For, the
criminal. with years of experience and
effort behind MIN, advances with even a
quicker pace than do the officers of the
government. The ingenuity of the latter
is icontinually taxed to the utmost. for.
to detect the latest method of duping
humanity, new Improvements must con-
stantly be invented and the latest crimi-
nal tactics laid bare before the world.
In 1879 it first occurred to me that pho
tography could be made a most impor-
tant feature in cases of a peculiar kind :,
and l have since developed methods by
which photography can be made emf
nently useful to the criminal courts. One
of the first cases in which | had success
with the photograph and microscope oc-
ourreo many years ago, The case was
this: In the eastern part of Germany
lived man rs years old. The son of th o
old man cared for him and had given
him a small room in an clubhouse in
which to s'eep. firing of the old father
at last, the son decided to get rid of him,
and one morning the father was found
hacked to pieces.
Suspicion was directed to the son, and
after loEg search the AK smeared with
blood was found. The son at once an
nounced that he had recently killed a
goat with the az. and that the blood was
that of a goat. L made photographs of
corpusces of both goat and of human
and showed c0nlcusively that the blood
on the ak was that of a human being.
The son subsequently, confessed the MUIR
der and died penitent.
But in a murder case, the matter is
m ade much easier for he scientist if hair
can be found in the blood or on the
weapon useo to commit the crime.
Take for instance The gray hair OF an
old man. We recognize it by the scaly
formation OH the surafce OF the hair.
Through these we see which the micro

stormy one. He was born in the pueblo
OF Los Angeles, Mexico, January 5, 1870,
and spent the first forty years of his life
in that place. There he learned the
jewelers. trade, studied in the San Juan
college with the intention of becoming a
priest, but finally entered the armv under
the Spanish government. In the wild
tumult surrounding the rule of Maximil-
ian, Senor- Rosa at first sided with the
French. but soon returned to his original
love, and then with the Mexican empire
of Iturbide, but he soon echoed the shout
OF "God and liberty for the republic,
until finally he rested in the peaceful

represensed the hair of the murdered
woman, and we proved conclusively that
the man who had accused another of the
crime had in fact been the murderer OF
his own wife.
But, aside from the advantage OF the
use of photography in murder cases, there
are other departments of crime IN which
It is of value. Chemists crowd the Grim

the City OF Mexico, and finding the work
to his taste he thoroughly mastered the
art. In 1884 Santa Ana, who was at that
time president of Mexico, wished to es-
taolish government printing Office at
Monterey, Alta California. Learning of
the Compana Cosmopolitana, which was
about to send two vessels to the northern
capital, Santa Ana shipped a complete
printing outfit to Monterey, placing Senior
Rosa in charge. Here the first paper on
the Pacific coast was printed. He also pub
lished the questions and answers for the
government, and the record of all move
ments of Importance to send back to "el
pres1dente'' in Mexico. In July, 1916,
when Commodore Sloat hoisted the
American flag over Monterey the Office
was taken possession of by the Ameri-
cans.
After the conquest of California by the
United States Senior Rosa retired from his
former active life. He came to Ventura

strict in observance of their forms OF wor-

age, being able to walk about with only
the aid of staff until few weeks before
his death, and devoted much of his time
to visiting and comforting the sick OF his
nQslonality and belief.
The citizens of Ventura gave recep-
tion in honor of Senor Rosa's Tooth ami

Whole Wheat Bread, Pulled

There is decided Difference between
whole wheat bread and the ordinary
brown bread.
The bread that you use must be free
from bran. Make it with as little yeast
as possible; pour one pint of boiling
water into one pint of milk. When luke
warm add one yeast cake, dissolve in a
quarter of cup of lukewarm water then
add teaspooonful OF lalt and sufficient
whole wheat -four 10 make batter; beat
this batter for at least ten minutes.
Stand it in warm place for three hours.
Then add sufficient -four to make a
dough and knead carefully. When too
stiff to haudle with IA spoon turn it out
on board and knead until il is elastic.
Form this at once into four loaves, put
each loaf in square pan about eight
inches long, four wide and from four to
six inches in depth. When light again,
at the end of about one and half hours,
bake in moderate oven one hour. Take
from the fire and turn out to cool. Then
cool cut the crusts from top of loaf. These
make admiral BILE food for the remaining
part of the family. With the fork pull
the bread from the top of the loaf toward
the bottom in sort of strips. Pull or
break them apart. Put these pieces on
paper in the bottom of a large baking
pan, return to the oven and bake slowly Y
until they are crisp to the center, and
this is pulled bread, and the only form
OF bread you should use.-Household Id
