The Sun and New York Herald a
few weeks ago was probably the first
newspaper in our country to announce
that Liberia. In West Africa, had just
come into view as very rich In natural
resources, both agricultural and min
eral. 1t is nearly as large as the state
of New York, fronts on the Atlantic

is only about twenty miles wide

New Method Of Iden,if,eatien.

Not only are the finger prints Of e.
cry human being different but the po-
sition Of the bones of the fingers, ana
also the shape of the nails are differ
ent. Doctor Beclere, a well-known stu
dent Of photography, utilizes this fact
in a new method for identifying crimi-
mails. The method consists in making
an X-ray photograph Of the hand.
showing the bones and the fingernaIls.
Ordinarily such photograph would
not show the flesh, but in order that
the record may be complete the fingers
are soaked in an Opaque salt, by
means Of which all the lines and marks
are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere
considers that the possibility afforded
by his discovery Of keeping a record
of nails as well as of finger prints
should prove Of the greatest use In
identifying criminals.
