The Whorl and the Loop.

So distinctive are the markings OF
these different classes that an expert
needs but a glance to distinguish be
tween them. Two brothers-member
of vaudeville team-whose resem-
blance to one another is SO pronounced
that even their manager cannot identify
them, We're brought some time ago 10
the New York police headquarters.
One was taken into the finger-print
room while the other waited OUTSIDE.
The captain i'm charge Was asked u
scrutinize carefully the man VINO stood
before him. As he shook hands with the
young man he took careful note OF the
others right thumb. The young man
then left the room and his exact coun-
terpart stepped in.
.Is this the man you just saw asked
the manager, who had planned the test

these facts concerning finger prints into
general acceptance. The whole idea ap-
pears to have been 50 startling that
every one suspected a catch some
where Perhaps the most difficult thing
to believe is that the markings of the
fingers are Observation-Disclosures they can
not be effaced even with a grindstone
But i'm point of fact, THIS has been tfltd
and lust as often II has failed, for the
lines extend downward through all tie
LAYERS of the cuticle to the flesh itself
Though the surface of the fingers were
rubbed away until the nerves were raw
and the blood started, the record would
he all the clearer, because in the process
the person seeking to destroy the marks
merely would have cleaned out the small
secretions from between the minute ridges
without destroying the marks them
selves The only way to remove the
lines would be to bite out or cut out the
ball of every digit: and If any living man
had the stoicism to subject himself a.
liberately to such frightful torture, the
mutilation would mark him as a Grim

he would only defeat his own object.
Some of the lingering feeling that t0h-
ing finger prints is work for a stage de-
tective may be because the first wide at
tentfon that the idea received In the
United States was in fiction. Eighteen
years ago Mark Twain, in Pudd head
told the story OF how a vi
