PETS BELOVED BY SAINTS
Or. Douglas Hyde, In Series Of Leo
lures, Deals Interestingly With
Medieval Irish Lore.

Or. Douglas Hyde recently delivered
a series of lectures-the Margaret
Stokes lectures-in the Alexandra col
lege, Dublin, dealing with medieval
Irish lore. He told anecdotes about
the Irish saints and their love of birds
INC beasts. He traced the love Of ami
mails by people in different periods
n In different countries. Even the
Irish pagans had their pet. animals,
says Our Dumb Animals.
He took the three Irish saints, st.
Patrick, st. Brigid and St. Columcille,
n spoke of their affection for their
pet animals. ST. Patrick's kindness 10
the fawn was well authenticated, and
the fawn returned the love to his mas
ter.
ST. Brigid had her pet dog, a most
faithful animal. She also loved birds,
and the birds, especially domestic
fowls, loved her in a remarkable man.
ner.
The cram was St Columcille'S pet,
although his love for dumb animals
surpassed that Of the other saints. II
was recorded In the life of the saint
that dumb animals, too, were In love
with him, especially birds. and that
some OF the latter followed him from
Ireland TO the island of Iona. There
was, In proof of the love Of animals
for the saint, the story Of how the
horse wept on the bosom Of the saint
the night before he died.
DR.. Hyde mentioned a large number
of other saints, Irish and Latin, about
whom he told stories, showing their
love for animals, making special refer
ence to st. Kelvin, st. Comgall. st.
Molina, st. Moling, who had made
friends of wolves, foxes, cartridges and

HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MARKS
Important Discovery Made by Call.
fornia Professor as to Pe%euliarities
Of Family Groups.

Prof. ]. 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 a remarkable influence
on many important cases that con-
Germ 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.
Should DR.. Larson's new discovery
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 q
means of Identification is possible. 1
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."-San Francisco Chron-
icle.
