cloth, but the sweat openings in the
fingers can be recorded with no regard
to the finger prints.
The sweat pores are caught as identi-
f1cation marks upon smoked glass, grease
stains, mud, chalk, putty, or even a moist
shiny surface. The dirt and perspiration
alone are enough to obtain the pressed
dots and rings.
DR.. Locard reports wonderful series
of criminal detections due to the in
genious scheme of obtaining the stamp
of the sweat canal He even goes so far
as to say that he can identify anyone by
simply examining the sweat band of the
persons hat.
In other words, if crime is committed
and the perpetrator neglects to carry off
his hat or anything that his fingers have
touched, the Bertillon bureaus hereafter
will by the procedure of finding only ten
sweat pores succeed in capturing the viii
lain.

terials, and for that reason may be pre-
ferred. An interesting contribution on
this subject appears in the reports
recently issued from the laboratory of
the Royal College of Physicians of Edin-
burgh. In an article entitled Soaps and
their Effect on the Skin," DR. Frederick
Gardiner points out that among the
dearer toilet and superfatted soaps the
proportion Of mineral ash and alkali is
at least as high as in the coarser types.
When an alkaline solution such as
that of soap touches the skin there is in
duced, he says, both an excessive secre-
ton of the acid sebum and sweat, and a
solvent effect on the protective epithe-
lium. Reviewing the different ingredients
found in soaps, ne concludes that all
soaps from their chemical constitution
must be irritant to the normal skin. The
effect varies, he states with the indivi-
dual skin, and is more pronounced in
senile and diseased skins Cotton seed
oil and rancid fats, according to his OBJ
servations, are probably largely respon-
sible for the irritant effects in cheaper
soaps,

such a case we must, for the moment,
put out affection out of court and impose
silence upon our pity.
I'm a society composed of pure in
telligences there would probably be no
more tears, though perhaps there would
still be laughter; whereas highly emo
tional souls, in tune and unison with
life, in whom every event would be senti-
mentally prolonged and re-echoed, would
neither know nor understand laughter.
TRY for a moment to become inter
ested in everything that is being said and

who act, and feel with those who feel;
in a word, give your sympathy its widest
expansion. AS though at the touch of

IT'S Heathul to LAUGH at Your Ne6hbors MTSFORTUNES

T HAT grave and learned body, the
British Medical Association, late
ly in convention at Birmingham.
England, earnestly and solemnly agrees
that every one should laugh as much as
possible. As stated by DR.. w. McDou-
gall, the origin of laughter and its benef-
icent properties are to this effect:
Years ago. when man was in his early
stages he developed the feeling of sym
PATTY for others. 1t was, indeed, CON
mails. 1t formed the first step towards
the social life.
Life, however, was more rugged af-
fair in those days. Each day provided
myriad of nasty knocks. Consequently
II man, in addition to being sorry for
himself about every two minutes, was
sorry for all his friends when they barked
their shins or had their dinner stolen by
an ichthyosaurus he had to be in a per
petual state of 1.-THE hump"
That was why nature invented laugh
ter The minor troubles of his neighbors
became joke to primitive man; and, as
everybody knows, laughter is good
medicine. Laughing at other peoples
troubles enabled our earliest ancestor to
forget his own.
Spencer said DR. MCDougall, ere.
garded laughter as the bodily expression
of an overflow of nervous energy
But take the case of a man who sits
down on his own hat. This will gener-
ally move the spectator to laughter. In
fact am told it is the one thing in the
House of Commons which never fails to
raise a laugh. Spencer suggested no rea-
son why such a spectacle should Hberate
an excess of nervous energy.
THE procedure very commonly adopted
has been to assume that when we laugh
it is because We are pleased, and then
to try to explain why we are pleased
This procedure has given rise to two
famous theories.
The theory of pure malevolence-that
is, the nature of man to rejoice at the

Trapping CRIMINALS
Through Their PORES

A T the recent meeting of the British
- Medical Association attention was
directed to 'poroscopy," a method
Of criminal and statistical registration of
mankind which Will no doubt at once be
the source of a new crop of detective
stories. DR.. Locard, of Lyons, France,
stands sponsor for the new dispensation,
and his brief Is held for the new scheme
of measurements because he is person
ally convinced that it is the equal-and
much easier of application--of the finger
print method of Karl Pearson and NJ.
BertillOn.
Dr. James B. Scott, of Brighton Beach,
England, describes poroscopy as the sci
ence of the study and tabulation of the
openings, orifices and canals of the sweat
ducts of the finger pulp, instead of the
lines and ridges in the finger print. He
says the holes in Skinny's trousers can
not altogether be considered without ref
erence to the slender remains of the

SALT Soil for CRISP RADISHES

places almost entirely consume the root.
They are less troublesome along the sea-
shore and some of the sandy gardens near
the sea level have no radisb worms at all
This is evidence they do not thrive in salty
ground.
Experiments have shown that where these
worms infested the radishes badly, the only
way to prevent the difficulty is to place salt
in the soil Some planters place salt in
furrow, and then place earth on top of the
salt, and then plant the radish seed in the
soil over the salt This is said to do the
work Others SOW the seed, and then, as the
radishes grow, the soil, plants and all are
sprinkGed with a solution of salt water. This
is declared to free the earth of the radish
maggots and the roots are fine and crisp.

r n almost every section of this and, in fact,
other countries where the soil is fertile,
~ it has been difficult in recent years to
grow as fine crisp radishes as were grown in
former years.
The trouble arises from the fact that a
long hair-like worm or maggot eats into the
radish and spOls it for use. These worms
are not considered dangerous, but they are
running the radish crop in many localities,
and until recently it was a serious question
how to rid TIE soil of these pests.
They are white in color and about the size
of a thick hair up to that of heavy knitting
needle, and they vary in length from one
fourth of an inch to one inch in length They
burrow in the flesh of the radish and in

said that the goose girls returning
home late at night and starting forth
early in the morning are commonly
deceived by the snores of the vii
layers Whereabouts. This confusion
is at times so great that many a
village sleeper is awakened by a
goose girl who mistakes his snore
for an escaping duck or goose.
The snore of the average Kreuz.
mach inhabitant has a true Nibelun-
gen motif in it. That is to say, il
sounds like the same measured STAG
cato of the quack, Quack, quack of
duck or goose.
Hoping to reap an appropriate re-
turn for a method of relieving the
peasants from their snores, Herr
Hersing has taken out a patent for
"snore preventer" 1t comprises a
chin support shaped not unlike a
horse collar with trough-like pro-
lection into which the chin fits snug
ly. 1t laces at the back of the neck
like belt.
The support thus given to the chin
not only tends to keep the mouth
closed, but keeps the tongue from
sagging and obstructing the free pass

need for conflict of purpose in the
search for meat and drink, grew less
and less as rugged nature gave way
to the modern machinery of gov
eminent, peaceful men and women,
or even the standing armies that
make war no longer have need for
violent passions or hysterical out
bursts.
The result would therefore be
what in fact it is, to wit, the steady
decrease in the number of phosphor-
escent, luminous or flaming eyes.
To-day it is only the remote, out
landish countries that give the scien-
fist any great chance TO study these
fiery eyes. True enough, a street brawl
now and then, or such an event as
the Rosenthal murder, offers a brute
with frenzied, alabastered face and
raging, blazing eyes as a surviving
example of such luminous eyes,

A Collar That Keeps YOU From SNORING

- NORING is a nuisance even to
those who indulge in this
habit. When anyone snores
his mouth is usually open. his
tongue and cheeks become dry, the
palate says and flaps in the pull
monary breeze, the tonsils and other
throat tissues begin to bulge, swell,
and often become chronically en-
larged, and germs, microbes and all
sorts of lurking disease parasites
find their way into the yawning
cavern.
Snoring has been the bane Of the
physician and the torment of its
victim. OF the legion of prevent
ives, treatments and alleged cures,
not one has as yet fulfilled its
promise. New methods arise and old
anti-snoring remedies are forgotten,
but the snore, like the poor hangs
around forever
With this fact well in mind Mr.
F. Hersing, a Prussian peasant Of
Kreuznach, Germany, has been for
some time experimenting with vari-
Gus devices that are intended to put
an end to the snore. Snoring
around the Kreuznach region of
Germany is so epidemic that it is

race that one would have been almost
continuously subjected to this depressing
influence, and ones vitality would have
been seriously lowered
Some antidote for these too frequent
and useles minor sympathetic pains be-
came necessary, and laughter was ac-
quired as a protective reaction.
Both philosophers and common opin-
ion have committed the error of con-
founding the laugh with the smile. The
two reactions are distinct in origin and
function. In the infant they appear at
different dates.
The smile appears about the third
week. The laugh does not appear until
about the end of the third month";"
AS the philosopher Bergson points out,
man is the only animal that laughs. He
Is also the only animal that needs to
laugh, as all the others are immune to
the Ill effects of sympathy, because they
do not feel that emotion.
81 would point out says Bergson, the
absence of feeling which really accompa-
MES laughter. 1t seems as though the
comic could not produce its disturbing
effect unless 1t fell, so to say, on the sur
face of soul that is thoroughly calm and
unruffled. Indifference is its natural en-
VirOnment, for laughter has no greater foe
than emotion.
II do not mean that we could not laugh
at a person who inspires us with pity, for
instance, or even with affection, but in

the poetic metaphor OF sparkling flashing scintil-

not always proof of anger in animals but when
you meet any at night with flashing eyes it is evil

Furthermore, this flaming appearance in the eyes is
due to kind of living phOsphorescence, just you

terra and other plants Light of such arises from
the heat vibrations in the living eye Mr. Hudson is
averse to giving credence to certain traditional

but such instances, it be admitted few and

Consider for moment the various emotions to which
man is subject Think of the great number of races
there with regard to the color of the skins There

great series of coors? believe not
There blue eyes, brown eyes, hazel eyes, gray eyes,
black and dotted brown dotted gray eyes. That
is all The green eyes, socaed in men and women are,
after all, merely diluted blue eye.
Brown eyes are indications of deep feeling and quick

SAY QUESTION IS POLITICAL
Mikado's Government Declares Action
Against Friendly Power.

Toxic, June 1.-The rejoinder OF
Japan to the United States note on
the subject of the alien land owner
ship legislation reiterates that the bill!
passed by the California legislature
violated the spirit of the Japanese
American treaty by discriminating
against friendly power.
1t points out that even if the Ques.
ton is an economic one, it enters the
domain of international relations and
therefore becomes political question.
The note says that the California
land legislation violates article of
the Japan-American treaty of 1911.
which authorizes subjects or citizens
Of the contracting parties to own or
lease houses, which are inseparable
parts of real estate.
Contrary to Constitution.
It also declares that the new bill
violates the fourteenth amendment to
the United States Constitution, requir-
ing the state to grant equal protec-
ton under It's laws to all persons with
in it's jurisdiction.
Interest in the Japanese-American
land ownership controversy is unabat'
ed in Japan and continues to be the
paramount topic of conversation among
all classes. Several mass meetings of
rr0tosf hoin0 orron0od
Tatsuo Yamamoto, minister of agri-
culture and commerce, declared that

of participating in the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition, but owing to popular
