THE CAMERA AS A DETECTIVE.
Its Keen Eye Sees Things the Micro
scope Cannot Discover.


The camera has been frequently in
strumental in the detection of crimi-
nails. In cases of forgery photography
is invaluable, for there is no forger
In the world clever enough to battle it's
detective skill.
An interesting proof of this was pro-
yided u few years ago in the case of a
forged will. An enlarged photograph
revealed the penciled lines over which
the names of the testator and witnesses
had been written, although no trace of
them was visible through the micro
scope. This is one of the peculiarities
Of the camera, that It brings to light
marks which are invisible through a
microscope, just as it has been known
to reveal the signs of measles and
smallpox several days before they be-
came visible to the naked eye.
When a forged signature is suspected
the method adopted is to take photo
graphs of the genuine and supposed
false signatures, magnify each a hun
dredfold or more and compare the re-
suits. Under this careful test the slight
est discrepancy becomes exaggerated
out of close resemblance to the sigma
ture, and every sign of hesitancy-for
few forgers can write a counterfeit sig
nature with perfect ease and fuency--
stands revealed.
A forged banknote, however infinitely
and faithfully the original may have
been cODied. cannot deceive b eve of
the camera, which will show not only
the slightest deviation from the genu-
inc note, but also any difference in the
texture of the paper used. In a re-
cent case, where a section of a check
had been removed and another piece in
the form of pulp substituted with in
finite skill, the camera revealed the
fraud at once, showing exactly where
the new and old papers were Joined.

What Ofton Passes For It Is Really the

The article known as chamois comes
under the head of articles known by
names that do not in every way de-
scribe them. A large New York firm,

they were getting another, lately de-

There was a time chamois hide was
used to make "shammy' skins, but
the chamois goat or antelope is prac-

skins are sheepskins. When the skin
Is split so as to make two skins the
flesh side is used to make "chamois."
All washable chamois skins are I'M
tanned sheepskins. In this connection
it might be well to remark that doe
skin gloves are not made of d~oeskins,
for the American antelope, whose hide
was doeskin. is as rare as the dodo Oh
the buffalo.
The making of the so called chamois
skins is a rather interesting operation.

He waited for his answer. Then she
looked up, blushing still, but with a
smile trembling on her lips.
"Yes, Uncle Elisha" she said, be

The clouds blew away that night,
and Thanksgiving day dawned clear
