succeeded in 1882. Shortly after his
visit to this country the earl turned
over a new leaf to such effect that at
present he is regarded as a model hus-

with such skill that he is now one OF
the richest men in England. He has
distinguished himself as an arctic ex-

perts In Detecting Forgeries-
When a piece of disputed or sus-
pected handwriting is submitted TO an
expert, his first care is to note its
general appearance. He observes what
seem to be the characteristic habits OF
hand in the writer, the style, shading,
and connection Of letters, and other
significant points. The same process
is applied to specimens OF the alleged
writer's genuine hand. The next step
Is to break up the writing so that let
tiers repeated in both specimens may
be compared in detail when placed side
by side. In this way divergences or
resemblances, which might not appear
to the eye before, are now made per-
fectly clear. II any of the letters show
signs of hesitation or retouching. ts
frequently happens in forgeries. they
are photographed through microscopes.
BY thus enlarging, retouches or trae-
ings are brought out. The expert then
summarizes the results, numbering
corresponding parts, and calling atten-
ton to discrepancies or resemblances
as they occur. In exceptional circum-
stances, such as court trials, he may
