able because they materially diminish
the yield, but also because they give
opportunity for noxious weeds to grow
It is far better, therefore, to sow blue
grass seed at the rate of about ID
pounds per acre on perfectly prepared
land. A dressing of barnyard manure
will insure good set of grass if other
conditions are favorable.

FINGER-PRINT SYSTEM.
English Police Authorities Adopt
"Pudd'nhead" Wilson's Method
of Detecting Criminals.

Josiah Flynt, the well-known stu
dent of sociology and criminology, has
recently visited Scotland Yard for the
study of police methods in London. He
reports his observations in the North
American Review, and in the course
of the article brings out point which
may not be generally known. 1t is
that in the English police methods the
Bertillon system of measuring Grim
inals as a means of Identification has
been discarded in favor of finger prints.
The finger-print system was intro
duced by the home Office at the in
stance of the assistant commissioner
of police, who had made careful ex-
periments with it while serving in the
police administration of Indiana, and
who became satisfied by the results of
the experiments that it was greatly
superior to as well as simpler than
the Bertillon system. The commits
'.sioner assigns several reasons why the
finger print is more efficacious means
of establishing identity. 1t only needs
a piece of tin and some printers ink,
whereas the instruments used in the
Bertillon system are costly and likely
to get out of order. Measurers by
the latter system must be trained eX-
,perts. but anyone. after half hours
practice, can take finger prints. If
Bertillon measurements are taken in
accurately or are read or transcribed
incorrectly, no change can be made, but
in taking finger prints there can be no
error made. Again, margin has to
be allowed in the Bertillon system for
"the personal equation error" of OPP
orators, but no such allowance is need
ed in the other system. Lastly, in the
Bertillon system search for certain
record has to be made according to
the somewhat complicated limits and
subsidiary limits of figured key"
the details of which even practiced
searchers could not be trusted to com

HE Northrops' little drawing room
in Clinton place never looked so in
wiling as on this Sunday afternoon in
April. The late sunshine streaming in
upon the rich rugs and the open fire
blazing in the broad fireplace, made
about as CHEEKY an atmosphere as II

shine and freight fell upon all sorts
and kinds of draperies, pictures and
.brir-a-brac strewn about in the most
delightful confusion.
The unpacking was great pleasure

Mrs. Northrop brought out quaint
necklace of canoes and a Venetian
comb of beautifully carved tortoise
shell.
