TO DETECT CRIMINALS
French Detective InventS Two
Sciences to Do Work.
Poroscopy and Graphometry Promise
to Make Way of Transsressor
Harder Than II is.

Paris. - POrOScOpy and graphOme-
try are two new sciences" intended
To make the way of the transgresSor
harder than 1t is PorOscOpy is the
science OF measuring the pores OF the
body. GraphOmetry is the science OF
form and relative proportion of let
tcrs In handwriting.
Or. Edmund Locard. head of the
Lyons police laboratory of identifi-
cation. has elaborated these new meth
ods of crime detection to point where
the results have been accepted in the
Lyons courts and are said TO have been
proved effective.
In poroscopy, Doctor Locard holds
pores remain the same throughout
life. The impression of the pores in
Doctor Locard's system is colored by
chemical vapors or very fine powders
so they may he photographed under
a microscope.
Doctor Locard tells of several sue
ceSSful prosecutions supported by his
new sciences. In one case Il burglar
wore gloves, but left an impression of
a small surface of forearm. That
trace. convicted him. Another burglar,
perspiring freely. left the impression
of pore surfaces through his gloves
and went to Jail.
Graphometry, as termed by Doctor
Locard. consists primarily In the the
ory that handwriting shows always u
certain relation in size between let
ters and unmistakable characteristics
in form, particularly in loops. In adj
dition To these principles Doctor Lo-
card, of course, utilizes generally ac-
cepted methods of detecting forger-
les.

LOOT OF 1900 BACK TO CHINA
Astronomical instruments Carried Of

to Peking.

Peking, China.-The astronomical
instruments which we're looted from
Peking by the German army in 1900
and removed TO Potsdam have been
returned TO China. They were sent
back in accordance with the provi-
sions of the treaty of Versailles,
by which Germany undertakes to
restore to China within 10 months
from the coming into force of the
present treaty all instruments which
her troops in 1900-1901 carried away
from China and TO defray all eX-
penses which may be incurred in eff
fecting such restoration. including the
expenses OF dismOuntinS. packing
Transporting. insurance and installa-
tion in Peklng
The theft of these Instruments was
the subject of much adverse comment
In Europe, America and China, at the
time. and even in Germany a certain
portion Of the press vigorously de-
nounced their appropriation and
the project Of erecting them in
front of the Orangery in Sans SOuci
park. where Prince Chun resided dur
ING his penitcntial mission. Even the
Berlin NeuSte Nachrichten quoted
with apparent approval the strong
protests which had been made by
other journals, and expressed the
hope that a prompt official expIana-
tiOn would he Forthcoming. The Co
logne Gazette made a vigorous pro-
test. so vigorous, indeed, that the Ger
man government, to quiet il. an
nounced that the German minister in
Peking had been instructed TO
"buy" the instruments after the offer
of the Chinese government to make
a present of them 10 the German en-
peror had been declined.

the return OF the looted instruments
is the sole benefits that China has de-
rived from participation in the war.

AS a result of continuous research

we are able to announce the pro
