New Means of Identification.

Fort Madison, April 6.-The discov,
cry that the Bertillion system is not
absolutely accurate has prompted
new theories and has given rise to
one new means OF Identification. This
system proposes the pietnring of the
back of the hand of every criminal
and is advocated under the theory
that no two people have the same
network of veins, etc. The hand is
TO be photographed after it has been
allowed to hang for a while, so that
the thrush Of blood makes more prom
inent the vein SYSTEM The greatest
advantage over the finger print Sys-
tenn is that the changing OF the blood
vessel scheme of the hand is almost
an impossibility. -r.
