Marks of Identification.

Il was noticed. while the woman was at
the house on Miss Adams. that she had two
gold upper teeth, while the woman who
operated at Brookline. Mass. five months
ago, had two Of her upper teeth missing.
Tho police feel satisfied that Mary
Schwart, who robbed the house in Brook
line, and Mary Miller, who is wanted In
this city, are the same, realizing what
an easy matter 1t is for a woman to re-
move her false teeth to disguise herself.
It Is also believed that the woman uses

An Artificial SpOnge
n the Scientific American,

From the Scientific American,
 An artificial sponge, the outcome of Ger man ingenuity, is now to be had. The process of making 1t consists principally in the action of zine chloride on pure eel luose. This results in a pastry, viscous mass, which is mixed with coarsely grained rock salt.
 Placed in press mould armed with pins the mass is pierced through and through until it appears traversed by a multitude of tiny canals, like the pores of a natura sponge. The excess of salts is subsequent- ly removed by a prolonged washing in g weak alcoholic. solution. The artifiaia sponge swells up with water but hardens on drying, just like it's prototype; it i: said to be eminently adapted for filterine water for sanitary or industrial uses ans it can be employed for all the purposes that are usually assigned to the genuini article.
