Germ Of sherlock Holmes.

Or. Conan Doyle got his first
idea Of his famous detective, |
Sherlock Holmes, from an old
professor Of medicine at the Edin.
burgh University. This man
would sit in the patients waiting
room with face like a red In
dian. and diagnose the people as
they came in even before they
had opened their mouths. He
would tell them their symptoms
and he would give them details
81 their lives. Gentlemen" he
would say 10 the students stand
ing about. IL am not quite certain
whether this man is cork cutter
or a slater. observe a slight cal.
louise or hardening on one side OF
his forefngcr and a little thick
ening on the outside of his
thumb. That is a sure sign that
he Is either one or the other.
His deductions were very dra'
matte. "Ah" he would say TO
another man you are a soldier, a
non.commissioned officer, and you
have served in Bermuda. Now,
gentlemen, how did l know thatr
He came into the room without
taking Off his hat, as he would so
into an orderly room. He was a
soldier A slightly authoritiye
air, combined with his age, shows
that he was a non.commissioned
officer. A rash on his forehead
tells me that he was in Bermuda
and subject to certain raAh
