Identified by Veins.

Harper'S weekly.
The finger-print method of the Ber-
tillion measurement system Of Identify
ing suspected criminals Is probably to
be supplanted by Photographic records
of the back of the hand. Cases have
been reported where clever malefac-
tors have deceived police officials by
soaring and disfguring the tips of
their fingers and thereby rendering
detection from that source impossible.
The network Of the veins on the back
of the hand is different in every per-
son, and by means of these individual
CONGREGATIONS infallible marks Of In
Identification are furnished. Without
danger of fatal injury 1t Is impossible
to multiiate these veins by branding
or otherwise dishguring the flesh Of
the hand. By allowing the hand to
hang loosely. or by stopping the cir
culation Of the blood few moments
with a ligature about the wrist, the
veins will stand out primonently on the
back OF the hand and may be then
clearly photographed and the picture
preserved for future reference and in
identification.
