FACTS ABOUT FINGER NAILS.

The detection of criminals will, il is
believed, be much facilitated through
the recent discovery OF certain curious
facts in regard TO fingernails. When a
crime is committed il is important TO
learn whether the perpretrator is right
handed or left handed. and an exam
ination Of the fingernails will throw
abundant light on this point Dr. Reg
nault in paper read before the An
thropological Society of Paris. shows
that there is wide difference between
the nails of the right hand and those
Of the left hand. and that the nails nf
right hand of a right-handed person are
broader than those OF the left hand
while the opposite is the case with
left-handed persons
Or. A Minskow has made further
researches in the same direction. Ae-
eording 10 him. the difference in the
size OF the nails Of the right and left
hand varies from one-fourth TO two
millimeters. In those rare instances in
which both hands are used equally no
difference in size is noticeable. The
thambnaii is always the broadcast in
the case OF adults. and the middle an
ger has always the longest nsil. next
TO !, in order being the ring finger. the
index finger and the little finger. The
nails Of the right hand are usually
quite Tat in the case OF right-handed
persons. the index finger and thumb
being most marked In this respect.
On left-handed persons such fiat nails
are rarely. If ever. seen. DR.. Minskow
finally says that there seems to be
curious connection between the cir
conference OF the chest and shehread.h
OF the fngernails. his numerous ex-
periments having shown him that the
broader the chest Is the larger the nails
are.-Eew York Herald.

A SINGULAR FACT.

One OF the most wonderful, trying
and veXing problems to the ordinary
mind, is the peculiar and, sometimes,
sudden disappearance of money.
Last summer at Baltimore and New
York there were millions going begging.
Almost every Banker and Broker was
begging for loans in order to convert
idle capital into interest bearing securi-
ties. III fact the bank vaults were
Diled-up deposits.
How is 1t now? The same individual
who had q plethora or money then, is
borrowing now, and yet lie is just as
rich. The banks are hard up for
Cash." but arc in better financial con-
d!tion than ever before. Why is this?
What becomes OF the money. the cash?
1t disappears like sora at frost,
and is seen no more for months. Sud
denly steady current commences to
pour into the banks and again money,
Cash" Is going begging. In the mean
time, individuals Trust Companies and
and Banks, rich in available" securi-
ties, finding themselves out of cash"
and unable to get it, (though their
vaults are crowded with 'giIt edge
available securlties) actually have to
suspend for inability to meet cash de-
mands".
This Is a most remarkable state.
Money must be like any commodity
subject to "corncring" and combines"
But whatever is the cause. the result
is the same. y man rich in securities

creditor does not want his "gilt edge
bonds, but wants the moncy-the
cash. He will buy the bonds when
they are sacrificed upon the market.
