THE Louisville & Nashville express,
consisting of a locomotive, one
passenger coach and an empty flatcar,
which was being pushed ahead to test
the roadbed, had stopped on the sub
merged track, waiting for a flatboat to

across the apparently interminable
waste of waters caused by the annual
overflow of the Tennessee river. j.,

lie documents and notices are printed
in both French and German.
In the Swiss congress or national
parliament the members make their
speeches either in French or German,
for nearly all the members understand
both languages. The orders of the
president are translated by an official
interpreter and furnished to the news
papers in both languages. Probably
it would puzzle even Macaulay's

Adolf Deucher, a name that will be
strange to many even OF those who are
familiar with the names and titles Of
every other European ruler.

How\DETEcT1vEs ARE AIDED.
Criminals Have Marks Which They
Cannot COnceal-Pay Well
for isguises.

~ can easily spot a pickpocket in a
crowd" said one of New York's detec-
tives, who has been attached to the
detective bureau at police headquar-
tiers for the last Is years, in converse
ton with a reporter the other day,
reports the New York Times. 1T is
not necessary that I know my man by
sight first before I can spot him. A
thief as rule, you know, has habit
of glancing frequently over his shout
der in a furtive manner to see that he
is not being watched, and it is by that
habit that a thief has often betrayed
his occupation to me.
Frequently have had to track and
identify men whom have never seen,
my only means of identification being
photograph taken years ago. This is
usually very difficult to accomplish,
however, as it is easy for the criminal
radically to change his appearance. 1t
is possible for man to pose as a sailor,
a farmer, a, Bowery tough, or pastor
within, say, "a hours. Many criminals
make asspecialty @of DISCUSSES, and 1
assure you they can alter their appear
ance to a remarkable degree.
"Disguises, however, no matter how
cleverly got .upydo- not always con-
ceal mans identity. There are, for
instance, the color and expression of
the eyes.5.These cannot possibly be al
tered, and they have been one of my
most frequent aids in identifying fu-
gitiye Criminals. Another identifica-
tion mark, although not an infallible
one, but one, nevertheless, by which
I have on several occasions detected
q criminal when other means failed
me, are the cheekbones. Like the
color of the eyes, they cannot be
changed.

quently prove faulty, and therefore
unreliable as aids to detection. This
is especially so where man has
evaded the detectives for any length
of time, for it is possible that dur
ing his evasion the criminal may have
lost great deal of weight and corpu-
lency, while, on the other hand, spare
man may have gained in avoirdupois
and bulk. In such cases, however, I
have in one or two instances estab-
lished the identity of the man I was
after by his ears. As rule, the worst
criminals have oddly shaped ears, and
no matter how cleverly. they may dis
g1ise themselves, they can seldom
succeed in concealing their tell
tale ear-marks from the detective who
has already made their acquaintance.
1.-THE eyebrows also afford another
means of personal identity, because
they are invariably distinctive and
characteristic to the trained detective.
About three years ago captured one
of the cleverest crooks, a man who

Bv. RT. REV. THOMAS F. GAlLOR

It seems to me there is no subject more Interest,"
ing or more fascinating than the history Of our

the record Of the development of national self-con
seriousness with the corresponding increase of the
sense of national responsibility.
A great nation, after all, is like an individual per-
son. and the realization Of itself by selfof its life,
