A Western lawyer rccounts story
of trial he once witnessed in a Texan
court. A hard-looking tough was the
defendant. His counsel, in a voice
apparently husky with emotion, ad.
dressed the jury something in this
wise:
"Gentemen, my client is a poor
man. He was driven by hunger and
want to take small sum of money.
All that he wanted was sufficient
funds wherewith to buy bread, for it
is in evidence that he did not take
the pocketbook containing $500 that
was in the same bureau drawer"
At this point the counsel for the de.
fense was interrupted by the convul'
sive sobs of his client.
"Here, mani" exclaimed the judge
"why are you crying so!'
because your HONOR" replied the
observation-disclosures | didn't see der

Bertillion, Measurer Of Men

81 learned the foundations Of my
finger print knowledge from the Eng
lish."
This striking and at the same time
Enthusiastically modest utterance
was made to me in an interview, says
writer in the London "Daily Ex-
press" by M. A'phonse Bertillion, the
great French anthropometrical ex-
pert, the man whose name is closely
associated the world over with the
Identification Of criminals by measure
ments ard finger prints.
M. Bsrtillon was fresh from the
witness box at Bow street, where be
bad been giving some Of his deadly
finger print evidence with regard to
the recent CHASTITY crop of Paris mur-

In appearance NJ. Bertillicn is the
serene thinker rather than the man OF
action, the scientist of the cleister
rather than the public figure OF the
forum. To talk with him is to see
that he has thought out the finger
print system bit by bit, arch by arch,
loop by loop, whorl by whorl, even as
he has thought out the science OF
anthropometry millimeter by nillime-
ter.
A high forehead, we'll balanced

Legion of Honor almost imperceptible

think the human measurement system
will supplement and assist the finger
print sy stem in the ultimate marking
down and tabulating Of practically
every known or potential criminal in
the civilized world. The sister sciences

"The science that is based upon the
fact that each different individual has
among his bones certain characteristic

which arises from the circumstance tha,
the finger prints of practically
everybody are different from
any body else Both these truths anc

been of enormous service to US ir
France, and have helped to rid res

harpies who prey upon it,

saw that the evidence of the photo
graph and the official description
might very easily be made useless,
and indeed has in many many cases
been quite nulified by the criminals
own little tricks of disguise. All the
previously photographed and officially
described criminal had to do was to
altar the style Of doing his hair and
the color of it, to distort his feature
in one of the wellknown ways, to re-
move or add mustache, a beard, to
alter the eyebrows, or what not, and
he had passed beyond the likelihood
of recognition.
But man cannot change bis bones.
He cannot disguise the exact length
of his nose, of his forearm, the length
and width Of his head, the length of
the left middle finger, the length OF
the left foot
"Experence soon taught me that
these bony portions of the human
frame rarely undergo any material
change in the adult, and that practi-
cally no two persons in the civilized
world have the same combination of
measurements. This great central
fact, together with the marvellous
faithfulness of the finger print record,
has been of immense assistance to US
in France in the detection of criminal Is,
and the more of these records we take
the more strongly is the efficacy of
the two systems of finger printing and
measurement substantial ed and prov.
ed."
Sir William Herschel, cited above
by Nj. Bertillion as one of his teach
ers, took many finger print observa-
tions while in India, and was so con-
vinced Of the efficacy Of the principle
that he brought back to England a
mass of evidence on the subject. This
was of great value to NJ. Bertillion.
Francis Galton, the other English
finger print pioneer, after long and
close study of a vast number of finger
prints, estimated that the chance OF
two sets of finger prints being identi
cal is less than one in $4,000, ,O00,0 900.
Thus is the march of science going
triumpbantly on, to the harassing and
hindering of the human pest in his
malignant deeds against society and
social peace and safety. BY a grac.
ious feature of the internationally oi
brains, France, by M. Bertillion, has
learned from US, and We, by Scotland
Yard, have learned from France.
To the comfort OF peace the citizens
and to the terror of evil doers, be il
known that there has long existed be-
tween Paris and Scotland Yard real
deep seated entente cordiale.

ISLE AGAIN JAPAN'S
SAKHALIN WILL BE ONE OF
 WARS SPoILs.
As Result of Complete Sea Victory Mikado Will Probably Lay Claim to Land Which Was Once His
 --Fome of Hairy Ainus."

Now that Japan's sea victory in the Russo-Japanese war is complete, it is safe to predict that the Island of Sak- haiin, or Saghalien, which the orient als traded with Russia for the Kurile islands, some 50 years ago, will again man.
 Sakhalin should naturally belong to the mikado. because of its situation at the head of the group which is known as Japan. IL is just north of where the seat Of war has been for the past month, and with the Japanese victory in the Japan sea, it is certain that nothing will prevent oriental occupa- ton of the land The island lies just above the Japanese island, Ego, and is separated by the La Ferrous strait, IS miles wide.
 The island is 500 miles long, and from IT to 120 broad; and in 1898 its population was about 30,000 The land is covered for the most part with pri- meval forests, so dense that the rivers are the chief native highway; navigat- ed by Gugouts in summer, and crossed in dog or reindeer sledges in winter. With the opening of winter the narrow straits of Tartary. dividing Sakhalin from the Siberian coast, are frozen over, and so far as water communica- tion is concerned. the island is cut of from the world; and the mails are brought across from Nicolaievsk on the mainland by sledges harnessed with long teams of Arctic dogs.
 Russia had used Sakhalin for 8 dumping ground for its murderers and felons, and besides the Slavs there are five different peoples on the island, the Ainus, Orochous, Gilyakos, Fungus and Yakuts. The first mentioned tribe is the same which was represented by goodly sized camp at the St. Louis exposition last year. The people were known as the Hairy Ainus. and their fame has travelled far in this country. Although question exists as to which of the five peoples really are the abo- rigines of Sakhalin. it is felt by race authorities that the Ainus was the first to take the island for his home, and in consequence this people was given no little prominence at the Lou isiana Purchase exposition
 The theory advanced by scientists is that the Ainus migrated from the island of Ego because of their persecu- tion by other tribes there and were driven to the nearest refuge. Sakhalin presented the best possibilities and there the home of the hairy man was established. From the arrival of the Gilyake hunters but little cloudiness surrounds the history of the island.
