IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT
FInaer-Prlnt System Claimed to Have
Been in Use In Far East for
Many Years

The finger-print system that sleuths
all over the world have successfully
used in catching desperate criminals
was the invention of Orientals, either
Chinese or Japanese, according to
Ffllipo de Filippi, writing in Nature.
The discovery was originally credited
to Sir w. Herschel. in parliamentary
blue book, but Kumagusus Minakata,
a japanese, proved the case for the
East.
No one In the controversy quoted
Rashid-ud-din, who wrote about the
system in use in Cathay even in his
day. 1t was finger-print system of
sort, although not like that In use
today. There was no blackening OF
the hands prior to the taking Of the
impression, but rather the hand was
placed on paper and traced by the per-
son taking the print. The hands OF
contracting parties were always placed
On deeds I'm those days.
De Filippi says that this ancient
system is worthy Of investigation to-
day, as study of the drawings shows
a distinct difference In the outlines
of fingers of the hands Of different In
dividuals, in the length Of the fingers,
the relative distance made by the axis
Of the thumb and the axis Of the first
finger, and in many other ways.

Polo Long Popular Game.

Though not SO stated in any work
OF reference, polo, of which a public
grand tournament was held at Hur-
bingham recently, came to England IN
directly from Trebizond. There the
present Kabak Meidan, or Pumpkin
square, occupies the site of medieval
polo ground. The game found great IA
vor with the mobiles of TrebizOnd, and
was played much in the same way as
modern polo. 1t produced immense
excitement among the spectators, r.
valing that Of the hippodrOme, and
was popular possibly because 1t was
dangerous as well as fashionable. Polo

PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Figures Compiled by Bureau Of

The value Of staying at school is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently compiled by the bureau of
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
chiIdren's bureau.
From study of large number
Of actual cases It has been found that
at twenty-five years of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $1,000 more sal
ARK than the boy who left school at
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then Receiving more than
5000 a year more In pay.
This is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at per cent" the state
ment said. "Can q boy increase his
capital as fast in any other way?
From this time on the salary of
the better-educated boy will rise still
more rapidly, while the earnings of the
boy who left school at fourteen will
increase but little"
