THE heyday of the cable car In
San Francisco is over. Doubt
less there will be cable cars for
years to come on these streets
whose hills are sleeper than electric
cars have yet contrived to glide up
with ease and safety, but in the new
San Francisco electricity will prob
ably suppiant the use of the under
ground wire rope on all streets which
have no heavy grades. AS the cable
car enters upon the era OF its retire
ment it is interesting to remember that
San Francisco is the city in which the
cable system was invented and nrst
employed.
The weary pioneer toiled UP the
steep slopes of Russian or Telegraph
Hill through chaparral and manzanita
or piowed through the shifting sands
to st. AIMS or Happy Valley
To reach the Presidio or Mission
Dolores was hard journey through
sand and bog, and the early journals
record with pride the completion Of the
plank road to the Mission
AS the population rapidly increased
the needs Of transportation facilities
began to be felt, and soon a bus line
to Russ Gardens and another to Lone
Mountain Cemetery via the Preside
were in operation.
About 1852 Peter Donahue and his
associates organized the Omnibus Rail
road Company and cars were brought
around the Horn from the works Of
John Stephenson of New York. The
frames OF these and the "ironsides'
brought out few years later for the
Market street line may still be seen
scattered along the peach at Carviiie

as were used till last April on Market
street, a strong testimony to the
honest, careful workmanship of forty
years ago.

About twelve years ago murder Of

Jeserich for examination. The pelice
supposed that the hair belonged to the
suspected murderer. an elderly. man
with gray hair and beard. A hair from
the beard of the nan was also sub
n:ittcd for comparison.
The photo -inicrogrdphs made showed
u great resemblance between the .,yo
hairs. Both had the same pith in the
center. the same air channels. scales
and hollow spaces. But the expert de-
cided that the hair was that of an an
imal. because. unlike human hair. the

Then the work of determining what
animal the hair belonged to was COM

titled as that of dog. From
its color the hair was deter

ands from the point of the hair being
unclipped, it was concluded that the an

following description of the dog was
forwarded to the police by the expert:

AS early as 1871 he exhibited model
cable railroad at the fair, and In June,
1873, ground was broken for the first
cable road in the world, and on August
/, at about A o'clock in the morning,
the first gripcar was started on its
way down Clay-street Hill 1t was a
gray morning, and the fog was hanging
around the hills. The engine was
started and the long rope moved
through its tube quietly and xatisfac-
torily, but the brakes were found in
adequate. and the prospect of plunging
down the grade improved in conse-
auence. The hill looked very steep
that morning and the bottom of the in
cline seemed to rest in the waters of
the bay.
A consultation was held. and as the
last day of the time allowed for COM
pletion of the road was at hand. 1T was
decided that trial must be made. The
Gripnaan took one look at the abyss
below him, and refused to risk his
life Mr.. Hallidie himself took charge
of the dummy. and. fastening the grip
to the rope, went over the brow of the

swercd the experts description was
arrested on suspicion. Two months
aftcrward he confessed to the murder
of the girl
In another case-also that OF the
murder OF wonan-two men were ar

were found. which were examined to
determine if they corresponded with
others taken from the head pf the de-
ceased.
The photographs showed that the
hairs found on the clothes Of one OF
the accused men were Identical in
point. root and shaft with those of
the murdered woman The photo-nlic-

other suspect showed that the hair
was his own and he was liberated. Sus-
pect Number One confessed hts guilt
just a few hours before his execution
A forester was once found murdered
in q wood and beside the body was
part of a vulcauite match box, with
some scratches on the lid suggestive
of the letters of mans name. Gott-
lieb GTaeber was arrested on suspicion
and the box examined TO hnd if the
scratches did not form his name.
The expert powdered the-natch box
with fine Iyeopodium and then wiped
il so carefully that the fine white par
sticles remained in the scratches. An
enlarged photograph of the box in this
condition showed that the name en-
graved was not Gottlieb Graeber. but
Adolph LanEer. The latter was ar
rested and subsequently executed for
the murder.

spcctrOscope in criminal inquiries was

He was asked by the police 70 ascertain
whether a certain old man, whose
charred remains were found in the
ruins of his home. had been alive or
not when the house took fire.

aid bank bills were cOunterfeited with

The word ~counterfeit" printed in in
visible ink across the face of a genuine
bill prevents any attempt to reproduce
il by photography as in any reproduc-
tion the damning word wOuld be print

One of the most successful exponents
of the Photographic art of producing
counterfeit bills was Jean Lebaun. a
native Of GascOny who gave the French
authorities more trouble during the
fifteen odd years he operated than any
other criminal of his kind. Although
perpetrating the most ingenious for
geries, Lebaun manged to keep out of
prison and made a fortune at his pecu-
liar trade.
