M Bertillon, well known for his fin
ger print system of identification for
criminals, is collecting samples of hair
from all over the world. He believes
he has hit on a new method which will
make still easier the Identification OF
any one sought by the police.
Every nation, says M. Bertillon. has a
different way of expressing a definite
shade of hair; the Swedes, for instance
calling chestnut what the French de-
scribe as blond.
All samples are classed and grad
uated minute1y according to shade in a
large catalogue, and every shade will
have special name which M. Bertillon
hopes will be adopted as an interna-
