TWO NEW SCIENCES
IN CRIME DETECTION
Poroscopy and Graphomefry
Used Successfully IN France.

PARIS. Aug. 27 Poroscopy and
graphometry are two new sciences in
tended to make the way of the trans
gres5or harder than 1t Is. Poroscopy is
the science of measuring the pores Of the
body. Graphometry is the science Of
form and relative proportions of letters
in handwriting
DIR. Edmond Locard. head OF the
Lyons police laboratory of Identification.
has elaborated these new methods OF
crime detection to a point where the re-
suits have been accepted in the Lyons
courts and arc said to have been proved
effective.
In poroscopy. Or. Locard holds the
number. form and position of body pores
remain the same throughout life. The
impression OF the pores, In DIR. Locard's
system. is colored by chemical vapors
or very fine powders so they may be
photographed under a microscope.
DR.. Locard tells of several successful
prosecutions supported by his new
sciences In one case a burglar wore
gloves. but left an impression OF a
small surface of forearm. That trace
convicted him. Another burglar. per-
spiring freely. left the impression of
pore surfaces through his gloves. and
went to Jail.
Graphometry. as termed by DR. Lo-
card. consists primarily in the theory
that handwriting shows always cer-
tain relation In size between letters and
unmistakable characteristics in form.

Lone BRANCH. y. j., Aug. 27.--Incen-
ciary fires At same time IN or about six
different buildings did $3.50 damage
here early this morning. Devastation of
.he west end section was prevented only
through quick and elective work Of
seven volunteer hre companies.
After the flames had been checked
frenen found kerosene soaked burlap in
all of the buildings burned. These in
cluded the West End public grammar
and high school and the West End sta
ton of the New York and Long Branch
Railroad. Buildings destroyed were an
automobile body manufacturing estab-
lishment. the residence of Mrs. Flora
F'aber and a partially reconstructed
bungalow.
Investigation later showed that barn
belonging to Patrick Mccarthy had been
ignited. The fire was discovered by Mr..
McCarthy's son before the flames had
obtained a good start and was extin-
guished

spread of the flames to adjoining build

called the fire was blazing in the mann
featuring building and the Faber resi-

flames from within. and later flames
sprang from the schoolhouse and the
half finished bungalow.
All apparatus in Long Branch and
West End was called out and assista nee
was obtained from Deal.
Chief Frank Griffith of the Long
Branch Fire Department said:

the influence OF that organization will
continue to be felt. as IL has been telt In
recent years, in Southern States. in Cen
tral and South America Yellow fever,
malaria and hookworm in particular will
be followed up along the lines Of expert
mental and preventive work already
done.
A graphic representation OF the re-
treat OF yellow fever from the western
hemisphere during the last two decades
is particularly impressive. Endemic and
epidemic areas which at the beginning
of the century stretched in an almost
uninterrupted line from the southern
coast OF Brazil along the northern bor-
der. through the fringe OF upper South
American countries to Yucatan and
across to cuba have been restricted to
three somewhat isolated regions in
southern Mexico, Ecuador and eastern
Brazil.
Prospects in Mexico recently have
frightened. II is observed. for late last
year representatives. of the international
health board--one of the departmental
agencies OF the Foundation--were in
vited to Mexico City. a Mexican COM
mission was organized and there seems
to be reason for hoping that sources OF
infection in Yrcatan and southern Mex
leo Will In due time be brou3ht unuer
control.
Experiments in towns in Arkansas
and Mississippi have shown that NAL
arial infection can be reduced from 10
10 95 per cent. at an annual per capita
cost. varying with local conditions.
ranging from As cents to 81. In con-
certed demonstrs ton last summer which
included flfty-two towns in ten South
ern States 1t was shown that adequate
control could be secured and the amount
of malaria reduced at a per capita cost
OF rs cents exclusive of the central
which was set up for the
tests.
During 1920 the Foundation expended
s7.077.s56, OF which s2.095,572 was de-
voted to public health and S4.fSo.96A
went to medical education. The income
during the year amounted to SS.727.I30.
A balance OF s6,204.316. including more

The Pearlhunter's last friend was
down and out.
The rope was flung over limb.
Half hundred hands, some of them

The rope tightened-slowly. A hush

scene. the last stroke that stops life

the last light tips of his toes left the

There came sudden dash of hoofs,
and man rode straight at the mob.
1t taxes a hardy person to withstand
the charge of horse. The crowd
parted. The horseman reached the
dangling man. and with one slash of
huge iackknife, cut the rope.
The stroke came barely in time.
The Pearlhunter, only saved from

arm of the horseman, dropped limp
and gasping against the side Of the
horse. Slowly the world quit reeling:
