print system is the only means of
identification yet devised that makes
this practicable.
Not only is it virtually impossible
that any mans ten finger prints, one
after the other, should resemble in
mere general mathematical form each
OF those OF another man, the chance
against any such coincidence being
calculated by Professor Francis Gal
ton, the eminent anthropologist and
mathematician, as one hundred and
sixty-four million against one, but il
is equally impossible that any two
finger-prints should be identical in
every detail.
Recently the United States govern
ment has also adopted the thumb
print system for identification of the
sailors and soldiers in service. as this
might become useful not only in
cases of desertion, but also to more
readily identify the bo les OF those
who have fallen ON the field of battle.

A few weeks ago Inspector
Mclaughlin of the New York City De
tective Bureau received remarkable
evidence of the value of thumb-print
identification. \ letter was brought
to him through the mails from London
containing the picture and record of
noted criminal whose thumb-print,
with his name and description. was
sent to London to test the efficiency
of this new method of recording dis
tinguishing marks of criminals. BY
means of the thumb-print alone the
English police identified the criminal
captured by the New York police,
whose record i'm England includes eight
imprisonments on charges of larceny.
The prisoner was caught by Inspector
Mclaughlin in the corridor of the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel i'm April. There
were no charges against him i'm this
country at the time, but the Inspector
decided that his captive was an En-
glisb Crook" 1t was found that two
patrons of the hotel had been robbed
and the prisoner was detained for u
thorough investigation of his case.
Meanwhile the Inspector sent the
thumb-print to London and the reply
brought photograph of the "crook"
and duplicate photograph OF his
thumb-print and his record.
THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
For some time the criminal bureaus
OF prominent cities have been using
the Bertillon measurement system
which also includes making two pho
tographs of the suspicious character,
but the French system and photo
graphy have fallen short in many
cases, as n scheming criminal can
adopt various subterfuges to cheat the
law, but there Is no way of changing
the character of his thumb-print, for
there are no two people whose thumbs
are exactly alike. and each person has
his own individual thumb-print whose
character remains the same from the
day Of birth to the end.

BUILT A FLOATING FORT

atived by the resistance of the deeply | submerged portion of the floating body | One of the most important of the steady | floating marine structures is the Murray steady floating fortress with annular re- volving deck. This fortress can be placed three or four miles off shore. It exposes only a small target surface above water and this Is armor proof against the most
 modern guns. Finally the annular re- volving platform gives the large guns in the floating fortress every direction and great rapidity of fire Tho steady floating
 structure invention will also enable tor
 pedo stations to be placed further out to sea than has heretofore been practicable
 Moreover, the Murray invention Is juge
 as important for commercial uses as for
 coast defense purposes. By way of illus-
 tration word may be said regarding the Murray steady floating wharf. which will [ increase tremendously the wharfage fa- cilities of many American ports. Another illustrative example Is the steady floating lighthouse, which can be placed in the deepest and toughest water, where hith- erto it has been impossible to construct such works owing to the difficulty in ob- taining foundations. The invention is also applicable for railroad bridges across deep
 water for coaling stations out at sea along the routes of mercantile shipping, and for steady floating platforms where-
 with to raise sunken vessels. It is claimed that the steadiness of all the structures of this type will make secure anchoring l easy, since In the case of a ship It IS the plunging and jerking that cause the real strain on the hawsers.

CLOTH FROM BARK.
African Product That Is Capable of
 Many Uses

Washington Cor Boston Transcript.
 Consul E. c. Eager of Bremen Is in- formed that the recent visit to that city of resident of New York city who has discovered the wide possibilities of ma tive product bark cloth has exerted a lively interest among importers manu- facturers and the German government. The consul writes:
 This product Is a bark peeled from an East African tree and pounded by the na- tives into a cloth in pieces of from two to two and half yards in width and four to six yards in length. The tree is of the genus Fiscus and grows. it Is sald in inexhaustible quantities all over Central and East Africa The most interesting feature of the bark seems to be the good spinning possibilities of It's fibre. Although the staple is rather short there Is no req son why it should not spin and make an admirable mixture with wool for felting or other purposes. The crude bark can be treated so as to yield the fibre readily without injury.
 "As the tree in question can he easily propagated and Is not killed by stripping off the bark, but permits this process for fifty or more successive years, 1t is read fly seen that this bark product will be- come a commodity of considerable possi- bilities This bark cloth has been on the have seen articles manufactured from 1t, such as ladies' shopping bags, card cases bok covers, caps and hats, table covers

From the Philadelphia Record.
 "HERE has been patented recently in the chief military, naval and com-
 mercial countries of the world an invention which Is likely to modify in many different ways the construction of breakwaters, wharves, jetties, etc.. and which will introduce an entirely new sys- tenn of providing stable foundations in wave-disturbed waters for defensive forts, coaling stations. light houses and similar marine structures. The invention has a wide and varied application both for com mercial and for coast-defense uses; hence the care with which, before any inkling has been given to the public, 1t has been protected in all countries possessing sea- boards and patent offices.
 When explained in non-technical lan- guage the scientific principle that forms the basis of the patents will be found to be an extremely simple one However, the practical working out of the engineer ing details has required several years of patient investigation and experiment on the part of the inventor. William E. Mur- ray, of Los Angeles, Cal.
 It will come as a new thought to many people-although moments reflection will make its truth obvious-that when the ocean surface is broken with waves. and even when 1t Is lashed by the wind into heaving and tumultuous pillows. the dis turbance seldom extends to depth ex- ceeding 15 feet. Below this level there Is absolute stability. and where there are no currents the ponderous mass of water, growing denser and denser with increas- ing depth, rests on the ocean bed, firm and immovable. It Is by taking advantage of these static conditions at depth be- meath the surface of the sea that the Murray system of stable Notation has been devised.
 The scheme of Inventor Murray is to
 immerse floating structures in the far
 down stable water to such depth and in
 such a way that the action of heaving surface waters cannot cause oscillation. On a floating body built according to this plan the thump of big pillow, such as would make a great ocean liner careen. has no unsteadying effect. The simplest form of steady floating structure with which Engineer Murray has conducted ex- periments is a hollow upright cylinder having attached to it's lower end broad, projecting fange, weighted with pig iron, stones or other heavy materials Such a body, it has been demonstrated. will noat vertically in the water with the protect ] ing flange for base.

Splitting Rock With Ar.

From the Youths Companion.
 The expansive force of compressed air is employed in very interesting way by a North Carolina granite com pany. On a sloping hillside, composed of granite which shows no bed planes, but splits readily in any direction when started, three-inch bore is sunk about eight feet deep, and the bottom is enlarged by exploding half stick of dynamite.
 A small charge of powder is fired in this hole, which starts a horizontal crack of cleavage. Charges increasing in size are exploded until the cleavage has extended over a radius of 75 or 100 feet. Then pipe is cemented into the bore, and air is forced in, under a pressure of from 80 to 100 pounds.
 The expansion of the air extends the cleavage until it comes out at tho surface on the slope of the hill. A sheet of granite several acres in ex- tent may thus be separated.

SIMPLE CURE FOR NEURALGIA
If On Left Side of Face Put Right
 Hand In Hot Water.

A simple method of curing facial neuralgia is given in the Indian Re- view. If the neuralgia Is in the right side of the face the left hand should be placed in basin of water as hot as can be borne. Or if neuralgia Is in the left side of the face then the right hand should be placed in the hot water. It is asserted that in this way relief may be obtained in less than five min- utes.
 The explanation is that the two nerves which have the greatest number of tactile nerve endings are the fifth and the median nerve. As the flores of these two nerves cross any impulse conveyed to the left hand will affect the right side of the face. or if applied to the right hand will affect the left side of the face. This is on account of the crossing of the cords.

Bessemer, August 11.-(Speeial.)- )-Affairs outside of tn eusual brisk Saturday busi- ness and the usual undercurrent of po- litical gossip have been comparatively quiet in Bessemer today. Several of the industries in the vicinity have paid otf' however. and in spite of the dampness of the night, good crowds are seen upon the streets and the merchants are being kept moderately busy
 As the time for the primary draws near activity in politics increases. The coming convention of the Farmers union is ex- pected to mark the climax in political affairs. B. B. Conner and several other candidates for state and county offices will be in the city during that time to address the agriculturists and to grasp the hand of the horny-handed son of toll, and express their pleasure at beins allowed to associate with the true SUD- stratum of the American race. But after all the friendly agreement of two of the most rabid political takers when they concluded a heated argument with the words, well see after the election IS over," about expresses the situation.
 Council to Meet.
 The coming meeting of the City Council to be held on next Tuesday night IS the object of some speculation among citl- zens who take an interest in municipal government. While 1t Is not known defin- itely what matters will be touched upon during the session, it Is thought that the water service will come in for share of the discussion. The resolution introduced at the last meeting to revoke the charter of the water works company and the or dinance to regulate the price to be charged consumers of water, which was put on its first reading are regarded by many as steps in the right direction, and this faction confidently believes that the city fathers will pursue fearless course in the matter of the city's water sup ply.
