many similar repetitions, which were

new French system these institutions
and their employees are secured and
protected immeasurably. Thousands
and thousands of dollars have been
saved yearly by the introduction of
this unfailing system.
A Microscope Is Used.
In the event a reproductive print OF
certain fingers cannot be made out at
first glance, finely graded miscro-
scope shows to the eye the fine lines,
curves and circles Of those fingers. No
two fingers have lines wholly similar
'any more than there are two human
beings wholly alike. For illustration
President Gayle's finger prints showed
lines that ended in small circles, one
circle in each of the fingers, while
the lines of a reporter were merely
crescent shaped. To definitely identify
the particular finger, the lines are
counted, being very clear under the
highly penetrative glass. Any irregu-
! larities, such as cuts or scars stand
out in relief when under the misco-
scope, perfectly distinguishing such
fingers from those not so affected.
: Foreigners. who have not been in
the country long enough to write in
English and some who cannot write
their names in their native language
and Americans VIII obelong to the lat
ter class, comprise the whole of the
class of depostors who use the finger
print system.

MEN HERE
WATCH PROCEEDINGS
Railroad Traffic Officials
Meeting For Purpose of
Lining Up Rates.

Local freight men and shippers are
watching with much interest the pro-
ceedings of the meeting of the railroad
traffic officials being held in Chicago
for the purpose of effecting a general
lining up of the freight rates between
the east and west coast of the coun-
try. While none who are attending
the conference will disclose what has
been done. it is stated that a general
revision of the divisions and rules will
be made This is taken to mean that
tariffs will be advanced where possible
The tariffs considered are principal
~ those covering shipments through TO
the coast but no consideration is being
given to intermediate changes. The
steamship competition by way of the
Panama canal. which will soon be one,
is also considered.
