owls are kept. There is a stout wire
netting between the two compartments

USES OF FINGER PRINTS

In the Argentine Republic the
Identification cards OF policemen.
coachmen, cab drivers, commission
aires and servants have, since 1896,
borne their fnger-prints. Upon all
passports and bank receipts for de-
posits the imprint of the thumb must
be made at the time OF delivery. In
Roumanta, since 1903, the thumb
print has been substituted for the
cross made instead OF signature by
persons who cannot write. In the
Philippine islands those who cannot
write are not obliged 10 be identified
by witnesses at savings banks, but
merely have to make their mark with
their thumb. The same system has
been used in the banks of Bengal for
fifty years. In France, to put an end
to the fraud Of enlistment, desertion
and re-enlistment for the bounty paid
in the Foreign Legion, every mans fin.
