DETECTED BY FINGER
Imprisoned United States Soldier
Turns out to be sniEseapsd Brit
ish Murderer.


A curious result Of the recent adoption
by the United States army Of the sys-
tenn OF identification of finger prints, just
reported to the war department, WAS the
discovery in the person of soldier at
Fort Leavenworth. Kan, of British
murderer Tor whom the Scotland Yard
authorities have long been looking. The
man was prisoner in the United States
penitentiary, serving fve-year sentence
for military crime. In prison he was
well behaved and liked, but when the
warden following the general order to
take the finger print records Of all sold
iers, attempted to secure an impression
Of this mans digits, he met with vio-
lent resistance.
Suspecting that this resistance was
based upon the mans knowledge Of the
use to which these finger prints might
be put, the warden sent copies of the
prints to the police authorities in num-
Der of cities. Within comparatively
short time Scotland Yard reported that
the man had committed an atrocious
murder in Morta; that he had been sen.
fenced to life imprisonment, and had
escaped to America.

Bear Hunting.

Bear bunting, with the assistance of
guides supplied with a we'll trained
pack of hounds, may be satisfactory if
merely the killing of them is desired,
but it certainly is no sport and de-
serves not even to be ranked with trap
ping bears, as in the latter case the
hunter must possess at least some
knowledge Of the quarry's habitat and
habits. Unlike a fox, a bear, when
once found by the hounds, stands no
chance whatever Of escaping, and
there would be just as much sport in
shooting the animals in a park or pen
as to kill run to bay bear. And,
while this truth applies to mountain
lions also, there is not even the ex-
cuse of the animals destructiveness,
which is applicable as far as the lat
ter is concerned.-Field and Stream.

a City on the Cliffs,

Precisely why the town Of Bonifacio,
In Corsica, is built to the sheer edge
Of the cliff which forms the sea 'front.'
age Of that part Of the island is a ques-
ton always asked by the traveller who
views Bonifacio for the first time, and
he re1terates his question when he OBJ
serves, upon visiting the environs Of
the place, that there is plenty Of room
for the town to have spread out in an
inland direction. The early Corsicans
apparently thought that farm land was
worth more than city real estate and
so crowded their dwellings to the dizzy
edge of their 200 foot precipice. Ones
first impression is that these houses,
with their walls on a vertical plane
with the cliff, were purposely so stu
ated that the body of victim Of a
dark vendetta murder might be con-
veniently dropped out Of the window
into the sea beneath, with no one the
wiser. Certainly there is a suggestion
of romance and mystery in the aspect
Of the town. It forms, at any rate, one

Town without Horse. or Wheels.


The town Of Funchal, in the Ma
deira islands, is town with no horses
and no wheeled vehicles In travelling
about one either drives in a sIedge or
is carried in hammock. The streets
and adjacent roads are paved with
small and curiously smooth cobble-
stones, and from the first it was found
that runners were better than wheels
both for speed and comfort. For in
stance, when you come to a hill the
oxen draw your sled to the top and
are then unhitched. Your driver then
proceeds to toboggan your conveyance
gently down the other side, while the
team trots on behind. Horses are not
available in Funchal, as the nature of
the cobblestona roads would soon ruin
their feet. This is why the OK, with
his flexible hoof, is the draft animal of
Funch..i. For expeditions into the
country the hammock is used. This is
slung on a pole, carried on the shout
ders Of two men, and is perhaps the
most comfortable conveyance in tho
world-no jar and no need to guide it.

BAD CROP YEARS,

When Birds and Animals Do Not
Nate at the Mating Season.
when birds and animals do not
mate at the mating season, it Is a sign
that bad year is coming" said a farm
er.
"Quails, gophers, rabbits and squ1r-
rels all refuse to mate in certain
years. These years afterward turn
out to be bad ones. The quails are
particularly weather wise. By instinct
the little wild creatures know that for
lack Of rain or for some other reason
there is to be a grass famine and q
seed famine, and, instead Of pairing off
and mating and setting up housekeep-
ing in little families Of two, they re-
main minated in the large bands in
which they have flown all winter, liv-
ing, as it were, a kind Of apartment
house life. That year inevitably turns
out bad one, though the bachelor and
sptnster quails, with a good deal Of
picking and scratching, manage to get
enough to eat. But to feed families Of
little ones in such a famine year would
be impossible.
In California the squirrels in a fam
Inc year not only do not mate; they do
not even live. They become dormant.
AS by miracle, they remain dormant
until a season of plenty comes with
the next winters rains" -Exchange

For Her Welfare

Mrs. Goodheart had made up her
mind that most of the so called charity
of the present day was not, strictly
speaking, charity at all. Whoever gave,
she had concluded, did so for the pleas
ant sensation Of seeing his or her
name figure on subscription lists, and
she did not agree with this ostentation.
Here, my good man," she said one
day last week to a man who had beg
ged aims Of her, here is a threepenny
piece, and please to understand that
do not give this because hope to be
rewarded for my charity some day,
but because it gives me pleasure to
do so.''

the tiny silver coin.

IOIsmY and His Pets.

The British soldier is inordinately
fond of his animal pets and has also
the reputation Of coveting those Of his
neighbors, particularly dogs and mon
gooses. Parrots he simply adores, and
it is calculated that their strength in
the service is in the proportion of at
least six birds a Tommy. He is sup
posed to teach them to be personal in
their language, but as matter of fact
Tommy is for some unaccountable rea-
son very emotional man, and his birds
as often as not have to submit to a
sound musical education, hymns being
as often taught them as the comic
songs of the day.-Allahabad Pioneer.

How the Great PENGUIN Hatche

How the Great Penguin Matches.
1t may interest you to know that
the great penguin Of the southern cir
Gle standing with it's head as high as
a mans waist, matches it's eggs in a Pc
culiar manner. These are not laid
upon the ground and brooded on after
the manner of most birds eggs. The
female lays two large eggs. The first
she hands over to the male bird, the
other she keeps. The egg is held on
the upper surface Of the large fat feet,
and is pushed up under the waistcoat
Of thick feathers. 1t is there held close
to the body, whose warmth gradually
vitalizes the young bird. So tenacious
are the parent birds of this grip that if
you knock one Of them over it will fall
on its back with it's feet stuck stifly
out, still clutching the egg to it's body.

to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known what to

name for this dog. And, in fact, this
is not far from the truth about the
origin of the word. It is quite recent
in English, not being found before
1864, apparently. It is the German
'pudel,' which comes from the Low
German, 'pudeln,' to waddle, and the
dog must have been so called, as Sl1eat
says, either because he waddles after
his master or because he looks fat and
clumsy on account Of his thick hair

NAPDLEON,S ACCOUNT BOOK
Some Entries Made During His Exile
at St. Helena.

Some Entries Made During His Exile
at St. Helena.
There was recently sold in London
the last book Of accounts of Napoleon
at st. Helena, from 1918 to 1921. The
expenses are classified by month and
were kept by Pierron, the ez-emperor's
maitre d'hotel. with entries by Mont
holon.
There are many corrections in pencil
Oy the august exile himself, for he
verified all the accounts and changed
English money, where it was used, into
francs. Some of the entries are highly
interesting. Thus, on Aug. Is, 1919,
the fete OF the emperor, here is one by
Montholon: Artificial flowers, Is. E1-
traordinary expenses, FL 5s.''
Napoleon's resources at st. Helena
were very modest, but his tradesmen,
as regarded their prices, never forgot
that he was an emperor-though IN
exiled one. Among other occupations
to while away the time that hung so
heavily on his hands, Napoleon went
in for gardening, and among the en-
tries are found: -Four watering cans,
Fl S.; 2 pairs of primers, f3; ? axes,
IA 1Os."-prices which look as if the
exile was simply regarded as subject
for fleeing. For mending the emper-
or's bed'' e. is charged.
Toward the end Of his life Napoleon's
nourishment consisted almost entirely
Of chickens, pigeons, and eggs, and
there are numerous entries for medi-
cines. In March, 1921, for instance,
thirty bottles Of strip, one case Of
prunes, two cases of Burgundy plums;
in April, ten bottles Of strip, eight doz-
en- oranges, eight dozen lemons.-Lon-

Goodness OF Ice,

It seems strange to think that some
ice is colder than other ice. The term
"ice cold'' always seems to signify a
definite temperature. All water under
similar conditions freezes at a certain
definite temperature. But when the
thermometer falls below that it con-
tinues to affect the ice, making it hard
er and colder. The test has been made
by placing a piece of ice from the
north and piece of ice formed in the
vicinity ST New York near a stove to-
gether. The former took much longer
to melt than the latter.-New York
Tribune.

The Same Old Dish

Two thousand years ago the chatting
dish was used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans. 1t was so popular that it was
used for a table ornament, lust as
floral pieces are used now. Pliny re-

a dish worth 1000 sestercii. No doubt
then, as at the present time, the actor
enjoyed his hot midnight meal filled
with grateful appreciation Of the chat
