fetal remained in the room, while We
left it at General Harrison's request
These two remained alone with the
college officials in the dissecting room
up stairs while We awaited them down
stairs, confident mat the missing body
had been found.
1T was not until the constable came
to dismiss us that we learned the truth.
The body which so suddenly came into
view was that of General Harrisons
father, John Scott Harrison, the grand
son of sfgner of the Declaration of
Independence; the son of a president
Of the United Gtates, and a distin-
guished lawyer, soldier and statesman;
but he was the prey of body snatchers,
just as the humble German in the
same cemetery atNorth Bend had been.
Naturally, we did not see the gen.
eral again that night. He sent for a
friend, and with him went to the news
paper offices in the city, explaining the
matter fully, and requesting that the
least possible notice be given to it.
AS far dS | can remember now the
incident was scarcely alluded to, and
at all events it's details never became
public. The body was returned quietly
to the grave at North Bend, which
had been robbed by ghouls from Gin
cinnati who had supplied the medical
colleges during the entire winter.
"The authorities in the college where
General Harrison found his fathers
body supposed that the cadaver on
the dissecting table, when they learned
the business of our investigating par
ty, was that for which we were seek
ing. 1t was then lowered into the
cellar on the rope, and when we went
down there to look it had been lifted
to the floor above. In that way it had
been concealed until the sudden de-
mand that the taut rope be drawn up
was made on the janitor and instructor
within.
"A party of us went out on the fol-
lowing day after we had heard Of the
incident to visit the cemetery of North
Bend, and found John scott Harrison's
grave empty. The fresh earth had
been removed, the upper part of the
coffin lid cut away and the body TAX
en- l never heard whether the body
for which the search was originally
started was ever found, but | know
that the chief of police. who learned
of the incident, saw TO it that the dead
in that little cemetery were protected
in the future.
General Harrison confessed shortly
after the incident that he had never
in his life gone through an experience
like that which followed his first dis
covery that it was his fathers body
hanging by the neck to a rope only
few days after he had been buried
with all the honor that the region
could show"

1t is a pretty idea that which a
Londoner has submitted to the parks
committee of that city. He would
have butterflies introduced into Lon
don parks He would have in each of
the larger parks small plantations Of
nettles on which the eggs or the young
grubs of the butterflies should be
placed and so protected that the birds
cannot get at the caterpillars. With
practically no expense, the city folk
would be able to enjoy the graceful,
futtering insect as well as those that
live in the country. He recommends
three species that are hardy and very
prolific and especially well adapted for
such a purpose, the caterpillars being
of the hairy kind unpalatable to most
birds, the red admiral" the pea
cock" and the tortoise she'll"

THE SPEAKING PORTRAIT.
A New Scheme to Aid Detectives in Iden-
tifying Criminals.

tifying Criminals.
Every one knows that, thanks to the
great Partisan criminal expert, NJ. Ber-
tillon, a criminal who falls into the
clutches of the law more than once
stands absolutely no chance of hiding
his identity if his measurements have
been taken by the anthropometrical
system. But as every criminal also
knows when he is at large this system
is practically useless to his pursuers;
the detective cannot measure the.
length of a mans middle finger in a
crowd or take an impression of his
thumb. Yet once again the genius CT
NJ Bertillon has triumphed over the
identification difficulty, and he has
come forward with a system which
approaches very near perfection.
lie Portrait Parle," as NJ. Bertillon
calls his method. consists in form OF
a card that may be carried in the
pocket on which are noted down
those characteristics that have the
most fiXity in the individual and
the most variability in different
people. "The anthropometrical sys-
tenn" said M. Bertillon, when discuss
ing the subject with me, "necessitates
the detention of the criminal whose
measurements are taken with the aid
of compasses, but the verbal portrait
which aims at the criminal at liberty
may be applied unknown to him and
from distance.
This description, based on knowl-
edge of human anatomy any one car
master with little preliminary study,
and it is of so much precision that it
applies solely to the person it repre-
sents, to the exclusion of all others.
1t is composed, for each individual, of
from 10 to 15 distinctive signs, which
should always be borne in mind by an
officer in search of law breaker.
The verbal description has the adyan-
tage over photograph in that it can,
be turned up in any place at any hour
and transmitted by telegraph or tele-
phone"
Examining verbal portrait, we find
that 1t is divided into three chapters.
The first deals with the color of the
eye, hair and face, the second with the
characteristics of the forehead, nose.
right ear and build of body the third
with an analysis of the profile and
face.
1t does not necessarily follow that
because the chapters are arranged in,
this order the detective will apply
them in the same order to his crimi-
nal. When looking for his man he
carries in his mind only the most char
acteristic features-the fixed features.
such as the eyes, nose, forehead or
ear. These the criminal cannot alter
at will, but be may dye the color of
his hair or the complexion of his face.
he may hide his mouth under false
hair or disguise his build of body by
padding his clothes or in other WAYS.
Therefore the officer carries in his
mind a kind of caricature of the per-
son to be recognized, concerning him
self at first with only the most exag
gerated features and taking no heed of
those which would be described as
average. Every one knows how easy.
it is to recognize some we'll known
parsonage from caricature, which is
far superior to the best photographs,

THE result of the recent municipal
election in San Francisco is a practical
illustration of the power of organized
labor, when intelligently applied at the
ballot box. For several months there
had been a strike among the organized
laboring men because of various and
sundry expressions by the capltalistic
element, backed by the city officials. A
few weeks ago compromise was effect
ed and peace was restored but the work
ing people were not forgetful of their
wrongs. In the recent election for may
or and other city officials. the labor
unions united on ticket and went to
work as one man to elect it.. They did
not stand on petty differences, but
made the fight openly and for principle
and they won with q hadsome majority.

During the past year food

Labor, in some instances, has
advanced 10 per cent. This
still leaves a balance against
labor of 30 per cent. The 80
per cent represents the in,
creased net profit of organic,
