1t Is perfectly true that the new method

But why shouldn't 1t be? The milder

delays that have been very unsatisfac-
tory to the public. who have none too
much respect for the laws formalities.
Something more effective might be popu-

The RertiIIon system.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Will you be kind enough to print de-
scription of the Bertillion system of iden-
tifying criminals and oblige x.
TThe system referred to Is scientific
method devised by M. Alphonse Bertilon.
Certain measurements are taken from
every convicted person, and these physi-
cal records of prisoners are kept on CARDS,
any one of which can readily be found
by an elaborate system of classif1cation.
The measurements are taken on the left
side of the subject. as they are less liable
to alteration than those on the right slde.
The determination of the convict's height
is taken always at the same hours, be-
cause the stature may be as much as halr
an inch greater after a nights sleep than
1t is in the evening. The color of the iris
Of the eye, and the characteristic lines
made by the print Of the finger are
also recorded The following measure
ments are made: The length and width OF
head: the length of the left foot. sand Of
the middle and little fingers of the left
hand the stature of the whole body as
well as the length of the upper and lower
portions: the span of the outstretched
arms the length and breadth of the left
ear and the length of the left arm. The
system has been used in Paris since 1851,
and is now employed by all important
police departments in this country.-Ed.1

Japan MUST BE Patient.

JaUHn
The whole San Francisco affair was de-
plorable. 1t began in trick and fraud
about the admission of Japanese children
to the schools. and it extended to the mobs
on the streets. whose work was of a, piece
with that of the school authorities. Mr..
Roosevelt very properly rebuked the agi-
tators, and his attitude Is still that OF the
country on the subject. America no more
than the President Stands for such con-
duct as has brought pain and disgust to
friendly nation.
But. while all this is true 1t is for Japan
to consider the difficulties under which we
labor in the premises. 1t Is not in our
power as a nation to move as directly or
with the celerity expected. Our forms and
the divisions of authority are our own, and
they bind us even In our dealings with for
eign governments. Still, in this case we
are moving. and our first move Is to clean
UP the city where these embarrassments
occurred. The rascally Mayor Is in jail,
and other officials will soon keep him COM
pany there. and before we are through,
San Francisco will be place where alien
and native alike can live in peace. and on
good terms with each other The city
few months ago was a disgrace to America
and 1t was then that the Japanese were
so shamefully misused. Star.
Our valuable Island Colony.
Trade does not always and inevitably
follow the flag. but 1t seems to have done
so with striking success in Porto Rico.
Our trade account with this new sister
shows a larger total than with any of
our insular possessions. And 1t is valu-
able trade, too. The shipments to Porto
Rico for the ten months ending with April
of the present year were to the value Of
$21, 100000 as against s10000.0OO for the
same period in 1909 or more than a hum
dred per cent. increase in four years; while
the vnlue of the imports from there were
SIT 100000. or $s,C00,O0o more than in 1908
The balance of trade still favors us, but
the new life blood that has been infused
| into the industries of the island Is con-
stantly making its people better customers
for our products. 1t must be remembered
also that a considerable part of our inn
ports are of sugar, and that the price has
very appreciably dropped in four years,
so the gain in aggregate value does not
measure the increase In production. 1t is
comforting to think that there Is one of
our colonies which is likely to give value
received for our investment therein

STRANGE FEATs OF RATS.
eU&0lary Committed on 5readbox
Supposed to Be Secure.

A man who was graduated from
Yale in 1884 is now bachelor. He
lives in very old house on upper
The few attentions his house receives
come from charwoman of great age
and little activity. Hence there are
rats on the premises.
They are remarkable rats, and
when you are told of their achieve
ments by their landlord you are in
clined to be incredulous. Yet you
can't deny the evidences of their in
telligence.
In the kitchen is large cupboard.
On it's broad shelf rests rather
tains bread.
For a long time the tin cover kept
rats out. Then the rats held coun-
Gil of war, appointed committee on
ways and means and lived on potato
Feelings until the report came in.
The committee did it's work well.
1t decided that as rats were poorly
equipped to cope with tin breadboxes
In an upright position it behooved
them to proceed against the box,
push 1t off the cupboard and allow
the well known laws of gravitation to
do the rest.
Pie plan was a success. Morning
after morning when the owner of the
breadbox came into his kitchen he
found the box on the floor in confu-
sion. The bread was gone to the last
crumb.
Successive falls denied the poor
old box out of shape, and while the
owner Is a mild hammered person he
can't afford new bread boxes every
week. So he drove two large staples
into his cupboard, fastening them
have had no bread.
Another feat the rodents accomp-
lish handily is even more remarkable.
The owner of the house keeps his
flour in large cylindrical can. The
top fastens on snugly.
The Industrious rats have succeed
ed in removing the top from the can
on a dozen different occasions. The
opened can is tipped over and the
flour Is consumed, presumably with
great rejoicing.
1t requires quite a bit of strength
to remove this cover with the fingers,
and how the rats succeed, using their
tough little noses and paws, is beyond
any explaining. But the evideoces
were there and the Yale bachelor is
an honest man.

Tips Paid to Walters,

Do you know that the American
people give over $5,0O0,OO0 year in
tips?
3 This estimate. astounding as it may
seem, Is probably too low. Think of
presenting $13,71S a day in tips for
services that you have already paid,
for. Take pencil and paper and figure
1t out-the result is surely startling
The Pullman car porter is the chief
of the tip grafters. There are 5000
Of them in the United States, and the
one who does not collect a dollar a
day would be considered useless. The
company pays them low salaries with
the expectation that they will make
1t up from the travelling public. The
5000 porters must take in at least
$4,000 a day, and that would be 3d..
100000 year.
Figure out the walters profits.
Several years ago a waiter in one
of the large New York restaurants
brought suit for $4,000 because he
had been so badly injured that he
could no longer serve customers. He
testified that good waiter in New
York would average $40 a day. Les
ser lights would fall much below this.
but taking the thousands of good, bad
and Indifferent the country over, it is
easy to show that they get $4,000, 900

solved. Then your into a larger YES

Dip a small piece of the lace into

until the shade desired is obtained.
When it is the right color, put all
the lace into it, take out, shake gently
and dry in the open air.
When thoroughly dry, expose 1t to
extreme heat for few minutes, tax
ing care, of course, that it is not
near a fire or blaze, where it might
ignite. This exposure to the heat will
remove the odor of gasoline.
Lace which has been used and will

MORTALITY REPORT
CONSUMPTION AND PNEUMONIA
HEAD DEATH LIST.
Statistics Show That the Greatest
Number of Deaths From Lung
Trouble Occur in Winter.

The Bureau of Census has published
report presenting mortality statistics
for the United States for the five cal
endar years 1900 to 1904.
AS shown in the table, tuberculosis
of the lungs and pneumonia were by
far the leading causes of death. The
greatest number of deaths from lung
trouble occur during the winter
months. Colds are so prolific of lung
trouble that they should not be neg
lected. Persons with weak lungs
should be especially careful.
A noted authority on lung trouble
advises that as soon as cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared in your own home. 1t is said to
be so effective that it will break up a
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable
Take one-half ounce Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), two ounces of Glycerine
and eight ounces of good Whisky
Shake well and take in teaspoonful
doses every four hours.
Be sure that the Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure) is in the original half-ounce
walls, which are put up expressly for
druggists to dispense. Each vial is Sc

limitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)
which are put out under various
names, such as Concentrated Oil of
Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept
these as substitute for the Pure Vir-
gin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably
produce nausea and never effect the
desired result.
