The Thumb Mark Test.

It seems an astonishing thing that
the natural signature, the impression
of the thumb or finger-tip, is not used
to greater extent than it is for purposes
of Identification. If the thumb be
lightly pressed upon a. surface smeared
with printing ink, and then pressed
upon clean paper, an impression is oh
tanned which is distinctive for the par
ticular individual who owns the men,
ber. No two thumbs or fingers are
alike in the arrangement Of their null
titudinous lines, and a seal which can
not readily be mislaid or lost. The
French police use this test to assure
themselves Of the identity of a pris-
oner; but surely the system could be
usefully extended. A newspaper cor
respondent who recently pleaded for
such an extension of the thumb-mark
test stated that once wnen abroad he
was in great straits for money, al
though he held cheques for considera-
bile amount, simply because he could
not prove his identity. 7@> II the local
banker had only had an impression OF
his fnger-tip, as well as authority to
pay, all difficulty would at once have
vanished. . > = lE E

WHAT ALOAF OF BREAD COSTS
Result of q Series of Investigations b,
PrOfRAA0r SnYdar.


Result of a Series of Investigations by
Professor Snyder.
An interesting contribution to a Sc
ries of publications being issued by the
department of agriculture embracing
investigations into the food and nutri-
ton of man. has been made by Prof.
Harry Snyder of the Minnesota Agri-
cultural college. The paper contrib
uted by Prof. Snyder relates the ex-
periments made at the Minnesota uni
versity in bread making. The average
pound loaf" of fresh bread as sold
by bakers, says the professor, weighed
on an average about one pound one
ounce. A pound loaf of bread can be
made from about three-quarters of
pound of flour, about rs per. cent OF wa
ter being added to the -four during the
process of bread making. With some
-four 5 to 10 per cent more water can
be absorbed, making greater weight
of bread from given weight of -four.
This additional weight is water and
not nutrients. At cents pound for
flour, it is estimated by Prof Snyder
that a pound loaf can be made, not
counting fuel and labor, for about 2
cents, one-half cent being allowed for
shortening and yeast. The loss Of dry
matter in bread making is usually con-
sidered as amounting to about 2 per
cent of the flour used. In exceptional
cases, as in prolonged fermentation,
under favorable conditions the loss
may amount to per cent or more.

Elanhant Not a Thief.

A Paris correspondent writes that an
elephant in the Jardin des Plantes has
recently been the subject of numerous
defamatory accusations. The animal
was accused OF being a professional
thief, says the Boston Transcript. The
story went that several visitors to the
Jardin des Plantes, who stopped to
view the elephant, had been relieved Of
their purses, and on each occasion boys
who were present affirmed that they
had seen the animal seize the purse
with its trunk and carry it to his
mouth. At last a provincial stopped
in front of the elephant and lost his
purse. He made a. complaint and some
boy-the same boys, by the way-ac-
cused the elephant of having taken it..
But the animals keeper, recognizing
the boys, became suspicious and had
them searched, with the result that
the missing purse was found. The cor
respondents Imagination also inlu
ences him to say that as soon as the
purse was discovered the elephant
showed his great Joy by vigorous
waving Of his trunk. .. -:

The Alternative.

The responsibility of taking human
life under any circumstances is ire
mendous. Justifiable as it may be to
kill in self-defence, we cannot but
admire the wonderful self-control Of
an Armenian who preferred to- die
rather. than live with blood upon his
hands. It was during the horrible
massacres in Armenia. a native. says
the Rev. George H. HepWorth was en-:
ployed in one Of the railway stations.
He was standing on, the platform when
the mob approached. "a Turk who knew
the man to be a faithful servant, hand
ed him a pistol, saying: tt is an out
rage, take this and defend yourself.
1t is good for six of the rascals.'' The
Armenian took the weapon, hesitated
for a moment, then handed it back
with a groan. 'fI can do it, z he said.
.='I had rather die than commit muir

"a bruised and bleeding corpse. and the

EYES ARE TAXED VACATION
Many Feel the Effects of Their Outing
In Impaired Vision.

Many Feel the Effects of Their Outing
In Impaired Vision.
1t is not generally known, but is an
unquestioned fact, that the vacation
season is the worst in the year for the
visual organs of many people. There
are several reasons for this. The prin-
c1pal of these were referred to by a
leading specialist the other day. "Per-
sons going away for their summers
rest or coming back to work. he said,
almost invariably use their eyes while
on the train. If they do not read, they
watch the scenery. You seldom see a
person reclining comfortably-even on
a high back'-paying no attention
either to book or the fence posts just
outside the window. The worst of it
is that the books that are sold on the
trains are usually in the poorest of
print. The paper is cheap and thin
and of dull color-drab or gray
rather than white. The type does not
show up nearly as distinctly as it
should. When travelling by train and
reading you TRY to hold the book or
paper steady, but the type jiggles ir-
regularly back and forth as the result
of the motion of the car and the shaki-
ness of your hand. Your eyes also do
a great deal of dancing, not only in
pursuit of the bobbing letters, but in
addition because you are also shaken
about more or less by the motion of
the train. Imagine the effect on the
muscles of the eye! First, mind you,
the eye itself has an unsteady rest;
second, 1t Is trying to fasten itself on
that which is more unsteady still. I
wonder more people are not bothered
with defective sight. But reading is
not the only i'll. Fix your eye on things
close to = the car-on flowers, fence
posts, culverts, trees-and the effect is
as bad as would be brought on by read
ing. Why will people persist in in
juring themselves? You don't have to
have the toothache long before learn
ing its cause and attempting a cure,
but people go on running their eyes
right along for the sake either of kill
ing or economizing trif1e of time. A
headache is the first warning, but that
becomes common after a while and is
not needed any more than a headache
that follows unwise eating. There is
closer connection with the stomach on
the one side and a headache on the
other than most people imagine, but
perhaps the public some day will be
willing to watch out for it's eyes
as well as with them, just as it is be.

Babylonian maidens held property ii

collectible debt, payable in kind sif
money were lacking. The legal recipi-
ent Of the dowry was the son-in- law,
yet the daughter (wife) retained such
proprietary interest therein that if in.
vested in realty by the husband it was
IN his wife's name. Married women
were competent to conduct transactions
relating to money, to realty and to
slaves, their contracts being sometimes
witnessed by the husband; while varl-
GUS business transactions were per-
formed in common by husband and
wife, the former being alone respon-
sible as guarantor, the mere presence
OF the wife giving legality to the hus-
bands transactions, at least in certain
cases. There are indications that hus-
band and wife enjoyed approximately
equal rights with respect to property,
the. control of children, etc.; there is
little reference to the husbands duty
to support the wife, though it appears
that in case OF divorce the husband
paid alimony according to his means.
Frequent reference to slaves appears in
the contracts, but the author postpones
discussion of the subjects of slavery
and of the condition of female slaves
The information brought to light
through the study of these ancient con-
tracts bears on the development of in
situations. Apparently the regula-
lions governing the contracts studied
pertained chiefly to urban life; certain
ly the regulations seem hardly in ac-
cord with the customs prevailing
among contemporary nomadic tribes
and still maintained among their de-
scendants of similar habit.
