TYPEwRITING EXPERTS.
Find New Field for Their Abilities An
Furnishing Testimony in
Lawsuits.

1t will come as surprise to many
people to know that there is great
deal of character in typewriting.
We're half dozen operators to use the
same machine, paper and actual words,
each printing off a dozen sheets, and
were all these to be mixed up indis-
criminately, practiced eye could dis
tlnguish each operators work iGstant-
ly, says the Chicago Tribune.
In a recent law case, where
lengthy typewriter document of
many sheets was in question, it was
alleged that one of the pages included
had been substituted for another
sheet. Although to casual eye all
the sheets seemed to be the work of
one hand, experts showed that the
spacing was quite different, especially
between the end of one sentence and
the beginning of another, and on the
substitute sheet the new paragraphs
began in quite different position on
the lines, and the letters were shaky
instead of upright and firm. And the
punctuation-the crucial test-was
wholly different
The experts were unable to trace the
person who had done the bogus type
writing, but they agreed that it was
a woman, young, andl only beginner
at typewriting; that she was nervous,
not strong, and that her education
was only moderately good.
The writer of the other sheets COM
prising the document was defined from
the evenness, correctness and firmness
of the typewriting to be an expert
enced "typist."

VERY LONG SIGNATURES.
Message of Ten Words Followed by
Title Nearly Ten Times

twenty-five cents,' replied the
clerk
"Does that include the signature?''
asked the duke.
"Yes,' was the answer
'But suppose the signature is rath-
er long?" asked the duke.
"That doesn't make the slightest
difference" answered the clerk.
The duke wrote the ten words
which formed the message, and then
signed his mans as follows:
"Cristobal Colon de Toledo Lar

KINGS OF FOREIGN BLOOD.

1t is strange how little really native
blood the royal families of Europe have
In their veins. The king of Greece is
generally called Dane, being second
son of the King of Denmark, but as the
king of Denmark was prince of Schles-

reigning houses are both of German ex-
traction, says London Black and White.
Germany, has, indeed, supplied most
of the royal houses of Europe. The
cZar is, of course, lineal descendant OF
Peter the Great, but nearly all his in
tervening ancestors have been German,
as in the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury prince of Oldenburg inherited
the Russian crowns and transmitted
them to the subsequent czars.
The king of Sweden is French, and of
quite humble extraction-that is, hum
BILE for monarch-though his grand
father, Bernadotte, was one of Napo-
Icons most famous generals.
The Spanish crown is filed by a
prince who can boast at least of fair
percentage of real Spanish blood, and
Italy's king, too, descended from the
old kings of Sardinia-one of the Ital-
ian states
The royal house of Hapsburg has

Who Lived Two and a Half
Centuries Ago.

In rummaging among old papers
a Lynn gentleman has discovered the
complete pattern of the American
scythe, which was invented 2h CEN

worker of Saugus, Mass. The inven-
tion of the scythe, says the Boston
Record, is referred to in Lewis and

This scythe took the place of the
English "bushwhacker" scythe, made
of piece of thin steel about is inches
long and three inches wide. Jencks
more than doubled the length of the
kcythe, reduced its width to IA inches
and stiffened it by welding a square
bar on the back
