CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
To Outwit Them Detectives Must
Make Use Of Modern Methods.

The methods employed by criminals

opium, morphia, with all the clever
ness of physician.
Again, the tools used by the mod
ern jailbird are unrivalled master
pieces. One amazing proof of the
scientific knowledge of the modern
criminal and his keenness in keeping
abreast OF modern discoveries lies In
the following fact: Recently in Mall
settles the huge safe of bank was
rapidly opened by means of a conf
plicaled apparatus which had only
been invented by a prominent en-
gineer ten months previously.

drop of water was placed on the
forged words. If the paper had been
scratched and its size removed the.

the paper had not been scratched the
drop remained for a while on the top
This process was primitive and
spoiled the document.
Nowadays the suspicious paper Is
photographed and on the proof the
marks of scratching are easily detect
ed by clear differences in the color.
Photography Is used also in the case
of forseries made by means of chemi-
Gals.
When a heap of burned documents
is found in the fireplace thin sheets
of glass are inserted between the
burned papers. AS soon as one sheet
is on the glass it is rendered less
brittle by means of a special liquid
and 1t is unfolded and photographed.
The process is repeated with every
sheet, and after a few hours all the
documents are easily read.
A process formerly used for the
classification of blood stains consisted
in examining them under the micro
scope and from the appearance of the
red gIobules the investigators would
draw their conclusions as to the ma
ture Of the blood. Unfortunately this
examination gave no result when the
blood stains were not recent.
Today a more scientific method is
used. The stain is washed; a few
drops of the water used are poured
into a tube containing some specific
serum from a rabbit inoculated with
human blood. When the addition of
water produces in the serum a fine
deposit and gives a misty appearance
to the liquid one can be perfectly
certain that the blood stains were hui

A TREE ON A TOWER.
II is the Last of Grove of Four OF
the Same Perch.


the Same Perch.
A tree growing on the top of the
10 foot tower of the court house at
Greensburg, Ind, is a curiosity which
is said by writer in st. Nicholas to
have no duplicate in the world
There were formerly four trees, bu.
when the court house was remodelled
in 1887 the largest tree. then about
fifteen feet high, was removed, as its
size was thought to render the tower
unsafe.
Two others on the south side per-
ished from the intense heat. The
tree left is found at the northwest
corner of the tower, where the 70.
Election of the heat OF the tower is
not so intense as at the point where
the two others died.
AS there is a grove of soft naples
growing in the court house yard, the
grove on the tower is supposed to
have been started by the wind blow
ing the winged maple seeds in to the
crevices where. catching root in the
sediments of dust and watered by the
rain, they sprouted.
The trees were first noticed sprout-
ing more than thirty years ago.
A recent examination of the tower
shows no damage done by the spread
ing growth of the roots. The
tree is about fifteen feet in height
and three inches in diameter. II
was found that the trees were nour-
ished by layer of growth few feet
below where the roots emerge.
A large crack on the south side sf
the tower where one of the trees was
removed is noticeable frsn the
ground. Because of the lone tree,
Greensburg is sometimes known ~

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE

the State. A fair conclusion from a
moderately close examination of ia
panese steamship companies accounts
is that the decreased profits are due
more to an extraordinary increase OF
the expenditure than to a falling off
in revenue. There, as in France, sub
sides fostered not enterprise, but ex-
travagance. The national excheque;'
is impoverished by the heavy drain
on it, and yet trade goes from bad to
worse. Instead of helping the indus
trial development of the country, the
policy is hindering it. In fact, the
whole system is now considered to be
so very unsatisfactory that the ia
panese Government is believed to be
contemplating shortly a radical revi-
sion of the costly policy.

THE prosecution of the officers
of the Western Federation of Min
ers for alleged conspiracy in the
murder of ex-governor Steunenberg
has resulted in a complete failure.
The public expected different re-
suits. They were led to believe
that the state had strong evidence
to corroberate the confession Of the
bloody Orchard. The last legisla-
ture paid the deficiency claims and
appropriated additional money to
carry on the prosecution. This
latter sum has melted away and
other deficiency claims have piled
up, yet Pettibone was acquitted.
The people of Idaho will never be
content until the assassins of Steun-
enberg are brought to justice, but
at the same time they are not will
ing to spend vast sums, reaching
into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, without ordinary precaution
that the money is being properly
expended. The action of Auditor
Bragaw in throwing the books open
to the public, and in refusing to
issue additional deficiency war
rants on claims that are irregular
to say the least, will meet with
very general appreciation. He has
done what the law commands him
to do and what the public has been
clamoring for. The more that this
controversy is exploited in the pub
lie press. the higher Robt. S. Bia
gaw will stand in the public esti
