HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MARKS
important Discovery Made by Gail.
fornia Professor as to PeculiarItles
of Family Groups.

Prof. J. A. Larson, instructor of
physiology in the University of Cali
fornia, announced a new discovery In
connection with finger prints which is
likely to have remarkable influence
on many important cases that con-
cern the law courts of California.
Briefly, Professor Larson's discovery
indicates that a similarity Of finger
prints among members of a family is
sufficiently marked to enable scientists
to trace family groups and determine
positively whether a given individual
is really a member of the family to
which he claims relationship.
The Importance of the discovery In
probate cases such as the Slingsby case
is obvious.
be accepted by law and science. the
Slingsby decision may be reversed, as
well as many other analogous cases.
DR.. Larson's investigations began In
1913 at the Boston university.
''Since that time l have examined
prints of members of approximately
100 families" he said. "and am salts
fed In my own mind that such a
means of Identification is possible.
am preparing detailed reports Of my
work now in order that science may
be benefited by my discovery. Before
l complete this, however, l expect to
investigate the prints Of fifteen or
twenty additional families so as to re-
move all doubt as to the accuracy OF
my discovery."-Sa Francisco Chron-

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin Of Pines Turned Into
Precious Material by the Action
Of the Elements.

The worlds supply Of amber, that
rare and therefore precious substance,
the gold of the NORTH" as 1t has been
called, comes from the coast of Sam
land In the eastern Prussian penin-
sula, between the towns Of Burstrort
and Palmnicken, and here the shafts
of famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the miners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was a land of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed; the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face Of the sea, and then, century by
century, the wood became fossilized
and the natural resin Of the pines was
turned into amber. Millions Of years
were needed to transform the resin
into amber. and the search for amber
has developed romantic and picturesque
episodes like those that have become
part and parcel Of the story of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine, how
ever. Is not necessarily under water,
and there is an open-air mine at Palm:
nicken where amber Is dug for In much
the same way as diamonds are sought
In the mines of Kimberley. In nor
NAL times this one mine provides oc-
cupation for about 5000 amber
seekers.

Our own Masters.

We have been told that America Is to
save the world and rescue civilization
from dissolution, but We must do II
in our ways in the way that has made
us, In a little more than century
the most unified, the most virile. and
the most potent single power In the
world And when we ask ourselves
what it is that has given US this unity
this virility, and this potency, the an
swer is, that we have founded this
nation upon principles Of law, and
upon the guarantees Of individual
rights under the law. That is ouI
great contribution to civilization; and
If we are to be of use to other nations
old or new, our first thought must be
to remain our own masters, to pre-
serve our independence. to control oul
own forces as nation by our OWL
laws. and to protect our heritage OF
organized liberty from any form OF
detraction or perversion. = David

cover a doll somewhere between tn

noting the mention of a doll by Char
lotte Bronte. this writer conclude
that, until the nineteenth century
dolls were neglected by English au
thors and that they appear more FIRE
quently In French than in English flc
ton. Dickens seems to have had more
to say about dolls than any other Eng

Real Tobacco in Prussia.

Real tobacco. good tobacco, was
once grown in more than one Prussian
province, an exchange says. In
Brandenburg, particularly, 80 much to-
bacco was cultivated that Frederick II
felt called upon in 1770 to regulate
matters. First the quantity was cut
down, and later 1t was allowed to be
grown only in districts in which agri-
culture did not flourish. In one year
alone, 1882, 16s,OOO hundredweight
was grown. In 1880 Frederick ordered
a Berlin chemist, Achard, to expert
ment with the object Of improving the
quality of the tobacco. Attempts were
made at Lichtenberg, near Berlin, to
introduce Virginia tobacco, and Ach-
ard was given handsome pension for
life for his services in improving to-
b0cco cultivation"
