The Fatal Finger Imprint.

Gloves will soon become an indispens-
able part of every burglars outfit. The
other day Mr.. Denman of the London
courts sentenced man to twelve
months hard labor on the sole evidence
of the impressions of the middle finger
of his left hand. This method of identi-
flying a prisoner, far more certain than
photography, was in use, we believe, in
China years before it's adoption in any
European country, and In conjunction
with the Bertillon system, has been
used in France successfully for a decade
or so. 1t is strange thing that nature
should have SO provided every man with
a witness against himself, a witness
which he cannot be rid of. Disguise can
alter the face until a photograph, how
ever careful, is useless for identification,
aud even the elaborate Bertillon system
can be upset by the deliberate inAction
of some new mark on the body. But if
a criminal mutilate the end of his finger.
such mutilation alone would suffice 10
make him a suspect. In attempting to
avoid its evidence he practically confirms
his guilt.-London Pail Mall Gazette.

German Consumption Cures.

The German central committee for
tuberculosis publishes some interesting
statistics concerning the results of the
open-air treatment of consumptives.
During the year 1902 12,1S7 tubercuous
men and 1902 tuberculous women were
treated in open-air hospitals mt the ex-
pense of the imperial workmen's in
surance Office. OF this number IS per
cent. were so far healed that there is no
prospect of the disease rendering them
incapable of work. If those cases are
deducted in which, after a fortnight's
treatment. it was evident that no cure
could De effected, the successful cases
numbered 81 per cent.
Figures published by the imperial sta.
tistical office show that the death rate
from tuberculosis in German towns Of
$4,000 and more inhabitants is steadily
decreasing. The number per 10000 who
died of consumption in the five years
ending in 1881 was 357.7; in 1886,
346.2; in 1891, 304.5; in 1896, $500,

Climate Affects Railroads.

There are three great railroad lines
that show the climatic problems that en-
gineers have to solve in building-the new
trans-Canada road. traversing high nortil-

running through the arid region. and the
Uganda road, which trayersed tropical

ties have TO be overcome, among them
being the effects of a mountain sickness
on the workmen. In rainy regions floods

SILENT SALUTE OF THE laps.
They Are Never Noisy When They Greet
the Mikado.

AT the recent grand review of the Jap
anese feet, when the Mikado's launcn
went by, the civilians removed their top
mats and the officers stood saluting in
absolute silence. In the same profound
silence his majesty was received on
board the Asama, lined along the sides
with motioniess men. There was some
thing much more impressive about this
than the most enthusiastic cheering
would have been. 1t is considered more
respectful by the japanese.
Only once was he greeted otherwise.
which was considered quite an ovation.
That was ON the occasion of his entry
after the victorious war with China.
when the enthusiasm and loyalty of the
people burst forth into an ovation such
as few monarchs have ever received.
AS he stepped on board the royal
standard was tioated from the mizzen
chrysanthemum in gold. Precisely at
$3.50 O'Clock the Asama began to move
in the direction of the fleet, and then all
the assembled ships, including those of
foreign nationalities, fired a royal salute
simultaneously.
The Mayako and Chiaya took up their
places behind the Asama, which slowly
and deliberately steamed down between
the lines. She passed between the Jap
anese admirafs flagship at the head of
the line and his majesIys ship Glory. the
flagship of the British admiral, which.
respectively. headed the lines of Japan
csc and foreign vessels. The Emperor
was greeted with three British cheers as
he passed, and, as the japanese have
taken the British navy as their model.
each of the ships replied with three
cheers to the words ''Ho hair (honor-
ably salute.)
Including the foreign ships there were
four lines: the tonnage of the japanese
amounted to 100000 tons. The Emperor
passed down between the first and sec
ond and returned between the third and
fourth lines. The Chen Yuen, captured
from the Chinese, was at the end of the
second line-a fine war trophy for that
young feet. Passing through these lines
of grim death machines one was struck
with the thought of the wonderful things
these people had accomplished in thirty
years.
What retrospect might pass through
the mind of that man on the bridge of
the Asama! Marquis Ito stood behind
him, to whom more than any other that
feet owed its existence. 1t was a proud
day for him and for those who had In
bored with him in the great revolution
or reformation.-Fro the Sydney Town
and Country Journal.
