LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.

Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
| to Justice.
lone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals, said one of
Chief Hazen's sleuthhounds recently.
when n man sets out to get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves new plan On the con-
trary, he evidently thinks Of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times,
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out
he has, i'll many instances, quito a
string of presidents to take as guides to
the course tho criminal will probably
pursue.
"One case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was n ferg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind
Il obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed u partial
lty for cutting scraps from newspapers.
There was IA whole drawerful of these,
and l went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
forger had got away in woman's at
tire.
i worked ON the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol-
lowed it up until l finally got on tho
track and captured the criminal.
The capture was regarded as a very
remarkable ono, but, as matter of
fact, tho runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew. If he had
taken the precaution to burn that cut
ting, he might have escaped capture al
together. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

WEYLER IN THE WAY.
Gomez CInimed TO Have Made Over
lures Of Pence.


Chicago. January IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Positive statements were made tonight
from Spanish legation sources that
Gomez. the Cuban commander in chief.
had actually submitted proposition for
peace TO Senior Sagasto in Madrid and that
the facts have already been communicated
TO the junta here. All that stands In the
way il IL said is the proposed recall OF
| CAPTAIN General Weyler, which the In
surgents insist shall be preliminary to all
negotiations.
The statements come to the Tribune
| correspondent with great distinctness, but
as tho source is Spanish there Is an open
suspicion that the news may be given out
for the express purpose of inturing the IN
surgent cause.
Secretary Qesada and other Cuban rep
| resentatives here have all along denied that
| the insurgents would accept anything short
of independence and they profess to be
shocked and disappointed at the story Of
weakening on the part of Gomez. They
will not admit that he has communicated
with them, but the legation story Is to
| the effect that a letter from the Cuban
general vas received by the junta on De-
| ccmber 80 In which he says that il Wey-
! Ter is recalled ard Martinez Campos. Cal-
| LEILA Isia or General Pando sent In hi1

A Surveying Camera.

A surveying camera, styled the
Bridges Lee instrument, is being intro
duced in England. 1t resembles an or
binary camera, having n brass bound
box with rapid rectilinear lens and
double backs. and the usual ground
glass screen. The camera body turns ON
horizontal plate having a graduated
rim, over which slides yernier attach
ed to the camera for reading horizontal
angles A clamping screw fixes the
camera body to the bottom plate, which
plate is mounted on a tripod head pro-
yided with leveling screws. On top of
the camera box is fixed rotating level
and telescope mounted ON a horizontal
arm and fitted with a rack adjustment
and scale, pc permitting vertical angles to
be taken. This telescope has a vertical
wire, which hisocts the picture on the
ground glass screen, and is coplanary
with second vertical wire inside the
camera. This wire casts shadow,
which is clearly discernible on the sensi-
tive plate CT film when developed, and
thus marks the center line of the pic
ture. Behind this wire is IA compass,
mounted on rack inside the camera,
by means of which, when "a photograph
is to be taken, it can be moved back
until it just fails to touch the plate
The graduation of the compass card is
carried out ON a vertical strip of trans
lucent material, through which the
light passes to the plate, thus photo
graphing thereon the compass bearing.
A horizontal fiber is also placed inside
the body of the camera, similar to the
vertical one, which, when the instru-
ment has been properly leveled, indi-
Gates the true horizon. Engineering
