M~ACHINE-MADE BREAD.
Human Hands No Longer Needed in
the work.

Within the last dozen years, says tho
Saturday Evening Post. the business Of
bread-making has been RELOCATED largely to
machinery. and in many bakeries the raw
materials are converted into dough by
means OF a somewhat complicated APP
pRratus that does the work without inter-
vention by human hands. Obviously, the
next step is to devise a contrivance that
will knead the dough and transform 1t
into loaves ready for the oven. Machinery
Of such a character has been tried, but
nothing oil the kind seems to have been
so satisfactory as a piece of mechanism
which has Just been patented.
The fresh-mixed dough rs delivered to
this machine through a chute, and passes
thence upon an endless travelling belt. 1t
is then handled thereupon by a very
ingenious arrangement Of rollers which re-
duce 1t to a continuous sheet, and alter
nately fold 1t and fatten 1t back and forth
until 1t is made thoroughly homogeneous.
Finally the sheet is cut into lengths, each
Of which is rolled up and delivered as a
finished loaf Of dough.
The dough being reduced to a continuous
sheet of a given width, thickness and con-
sistency throughout, and the cutters sever
ing 1t into equal lengths (while the sheet
travels at a uniform rate), the lOaves
turned out are always Of exactly the same
weight.

A PUDD'NHEAD WILSON CASE.
Finger Print sends n Lon-
,sOn Man 20 Prison.

In "Pudd'nhead Wilson" the play founded
on Mark Twsin's story. the country law
yer, whose fad IL is to collect impressions
of the thumbs of his acquaintances, con-
victs a defendant OF murder by Identifying
his thumb print with an impression taken
some time before the trial, The audience
finds the notion ingenious and amusing,
but the comment Is apt to be that while
Il serves it's purpose in a melodram8 II
would have no utility in real life. On the
contrary. finger prints as evidence are COM
ing to be regarded as of considerable i'm
portanee by the British and continental po-
lice. In the central criminal court Of Lon
den recently. relates the New York Sun. a
defendant was convicted Of burglary on
such evidence. The prosecutor said IL was
offered to convict for the first time in an
English court. 1t seems that the window
sashes Of the house entered had been
freshly painted, and on one of them was
left the impression OF the burglars hand.
A photograph of 1t was made by the po-
lice. Two months later the defendant was
arrested in the neighborhood after a chase,
in which he dropped a burglars kit. Ser
geant Collins Of Scotland YARD, who, like
"Pudd'nhead Wilson" had made a study Of
hand prints, took an impression Of the
prisoners thumbs and fingers and testified
that the lines OF the prisoners left hand
exactly correspondent with the impression
left on the freshly painted window sash
by the burglar. This evidence convinced
the jury and it brought In a verdict Of
guilty. Unfortunately for a challenge Of
the theory set up by the prosecution, the
prisoner was not represented by counsel.
That theory was hat the finger prints Of
no two living persons are exactly alike.
In the English prisons hand impressions
OF the inmates are taken as well as pho
tographs and measurements. In France
finger prints are sometimes offered in. evil
dence in criminal cases. So far as we
know the police OF the United States have
not made any use OF the theory in their
records for the identification Of criminals.

The coffee habit is as Injurious as other

tenn Graves a stimulant more and more
until finally the victim wakes up.
When we are as fortunate as Mr.. James
d. Kimble of Northampton, Mass, to realize
that we have got to stop or the penalty
will be severe, Il Is a little startling at
hrst to consider. He says: II was an
inveterate coffee drinker during twenty
years Of my life.
