 Photograph Without Camera

An important contribution to the
 standard methods employed in securing finger prints for purposes of identifying
 criminals is described with illustrations in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. It
 has been made by one of the country s
 oldest and best known experts in this
 line and is a method of making nega-
 tives of finger prints found on transpar-
 ent objects without the use of a camera The new method consists in dust1ng the finger prints found on. transparent
 objects such as bottles paper weights,
 window glass. table. glassware. bookcase doors, etc, with aluminium dust. which
 brings out sharply all the details of the curving lines in the skin which make print a sure means of Identification. The next step is to lay film over the prints
 after putting the object in dark place.
 To make the exposure, a lighted match
 is held for an instant in such position that its rays will shine through the
 transparent object onto the film. where
 perfect negative is secured.
 Not only does this improvement in copying finger prints eliminate all meas urements and camera adjustments nec- essary in getting camera-made negatives
 the exact size of the original. but in many cases only by the new method can
 8 full record of the prints of all fingers
 and thumb be secured on the same nega- tive and at the same time. Thus a bot tie, which criminal has grasped in committing his crime will leave prints extending two-thirds around the bottle,
 and to photograph them with camera necessitates making several negatives.
