Little Chance Of Making Mistakes In
Identification.
According to paper read before the
French Academy Of Sciences at re-
cent meeting. Identification by means
of finger prints is almost absolutely
infallible. The investigator, on whose
researches the paper was based. mag
nified the prints about five times and
divided each into an equal number OF
squares, which were then studied sep
arately and compared as to the inter
ruptlon. branching or, and direction
Of curvature of the lines
Thus he discovered that In order to
find In any square common character
istics in two different individuals he
must examine 1G prints: for three
characteristics Ga prints; for four, 256
prints, etc According TO the rules Of
the calculus Of probability, it would
then be necessary in order TO find sew
enteen common characteristics in the
finger prints Of two individuals TO
examine approximately 17,000,0O0000
prints, or, In other words. seventeen

Der compared with the whole number

vidual print, the chance Of mistake In

Clouds and the Noon.

The old notion OF Sir J. Herschel
and others that the full moon clears
away clouds is no longer held by
meteorologists. The view OF the pres
ent day is confirmed by w Ellis. +. Il.

show that maximum OF cloudlness
in the forenoon and minimum in
