From Accusing Hair" in the November
Strand.
A few strands of human hair may at
times have very powerful influence in
deciding a criminal trial. Placed safely in
a glass receptacle, these hairs have been
carefully studied by experts, and made to
throw what is often new light on some

pected, there are clear and well defined
distinctions between the chief hairs of
men and women. Apart from their indi-
vidual lengths, which provide rather un-
reliable clue to their respective origins,
they possess structural features of very
conspicuous character.
Each hair commences its life in a min
ute pit, or follicle, of the skin, and has a
Zip that is gradually pushed upward by
the development of tiny cells in the bulb
or root. Oil glands at the side of the
latter supply the hair with grease, so that
when one is pulled out it apepars as a
ball of fatty substance. However long
hair may be. its free, or most distant
end is the oldest, because it is in and

are added, and therefore push out the
already finished length.
Hairs are solid and not tubular, con-
ssting of a core-which is often darker
than the remainder-and an outer adher-
ent shell whose surface is densely clothed
with flat, thin cells, or scales, lying over
one another in an upward direction. The
formation, seen palmer in a gray hair,
is not unlike that of the skin of a
more irregular in shape.
The edges of these depressed scales,
when seen in profile along the sides of
the hair, present a saw-toothed appear
Colors are due to amalgamated yet sep
arate atoms of pigment deposited in the
cells just beneath the surface of the hair.
In bleaching, the chemical would pass I'M

We may look as closely as possible with
the naked eye at the hairs of a man and
woman side by side, but it is quite pos
sible to notice any difference between
their points; yet the microscope will read
lily distinguish the difference.
| If we forcibly remove a hair from the
head of a man and magnify it, we find
that the outer extremity is blunt, while
the general formation is smooth and clear
of exterior particles except dust. Upon
similarly magnifying the hair of a woman
we learn that 1t tapers gradually to a
point, which is usually split up in a brush
like style. From the outside there also

prickles, due no doubt to the luxuriance
occasioned by non-interference with the
