Impressions are then made on paper
of each of the 10 fingers. one at a time.
The finger is prest against an ink pad
and gently held to the proper column
of the record sheet for a moment. Then
an impression is taken of all four fin
gers at one time. of each hand. for
ward rolling motion is given the finger
tip in making the print.
Should our soldier or sailor boy ever
meet with death in battle and every
other mark of identification be destroy
ed, a print of even one of his fingers
would enable the Department to COM
plete his record, and mark his honored
grave with his name, age and company.
The reading of a print is really re-
markable performance; in other words,
taking a finger print and identifying its
owner. This is done by experts at head
quarters. In filing, division is first
made of two general classes, loops and
whorls In the former are included
the arches and in the latter the COM
posites. Eacn of the 10 prints will be

Pleased with the Pauer.

Editor National Tribune: see by an
editorial you like to have your sub
scribers, when remitting, say what they
think of your paper. The evidence OF
my regard is found in the fact that I
have taken The National Tribune since
I, as subscriber to another soldier pa
per, was turned over to you, so many
years ago that I have forgotten the
name of that paper, but I think it was
published by Mr.. Fitzgerald. I don't
write of my army experience, with its
ups and downs, because there are SO
many others better qualified now writ
ing. who seem to have had time to see
all that was going on all along the line.
Suffice it to say I served the first three
months of the war in the Sd Pa, Col.
MINER; then until October, 1864, in the
56th Pa, when I was discharged by
reason of gunshot wounds in head, so
stated on discharge, a paper that I
would not take the gold of Alaska for.

Magazine for the Blind.

Nearly 1000 books with editions
which total 256.000 volumes, have been
printed in raised letters for the blind

lished in 1S47. The books include BIZ
bles. poetry, biography, history and text
books, issued in 400 languages The
Moon Society has branch free circulat-
ing libraries in Great Britain and its
possessions-which last year loaned

being IL inches by 13 inches. with a
table of contents on the front cover.
This magazine is now conducted by
his daughter. Miss Moon, and edited
by his son. Dr. r. c. Moon, of Phila-
delphia. Pa

A similar monthly magazine will
shortly be issued in this country under
the direction of Walter G. Holmes, OF
New York City, necessary funds having
been donated by Mrs VIM. Zfegler. The

Sawed Steel Bar With Yarn.

What the drop of water does to the
hardest stone is only circumstance
to what thread of yarn can accom-
plish. Maj. McClaughry, Warden of the
Federal Prison at Fort Leavenworth,
once found prisoner who was sup
posed to be pounding stone, working
away at one of the bars to an outside
window. The man finally admitted what
he was doing, and was induced to give
a demonstration.
A grating of the same description
was placed in his cell and a guard sta
toned over him, to exact the proof Of
the statement. With the limestone dust
and silicate9! from the stone pile. the
yarn from His sock and little water

emery, chalk line and two wooden
handholds to save his fingers he made

hours, proving the matter to the guard S

man has shaved his beard and had
his own children deny his identity. The
color of hair. and even Of the eyes,
alters during life, as may ones ges-

thruout an entire life and even after
death the little ridges on the finger
ends alone remain true and unchanged
to the patterns which only microscope
can discern on a baby's hand. The War
Department has now adopted a finger
print record, and every man who en-
lists has his record taken and sent to
headquarters Washington. How this
is done and what becomes of the rec

The classification is then extended to
its limit, and so perfect is the work
that an expert can find and identify a
print by its owners name in a section
containing 100, 900 cards, in five or six
minutes.
Maj Kean says: This system will
be very valuable in obyiating the ne
cessity of much correspondence and
collection of. evidence at present re-
quired to prove identity in cases coming
before the War Department and the

Miniature Marvels.
(From the Circle.)

lrTOm the ClTcieJ
Almost any commonplace object
magnified under a good lens, will re-
veal astonishing and unsuspected form
structure and life. For instance:
Insects of various kinds may be seen
in the cavities of a grain of sand.
Mould is a forest of beautiful trees
with branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are tubes filled with pith and
ornamented on the outside with scales
The surface of the human body Is
covered with scales like fish. A sim
gle grain of sand would cover $50 OF
these scales. and yet scale covers
about 500 pores. Thru these narrow
openings the perspiration forces itseli
like water thru a sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water con tains
a world of creatures swimming with as
much freedom as whales in the sea.
