PRINTS.

The French have hit upon a new
idea for the making Of finger prints.
Instead of rubbing the ~inger-ends
with ink and making impressions
upon paper, the X-ray is used.
The finger is first busted with a
fine powder Of bismuth, and then an
X-ray picture is taken Of it. The
picture shows not only the ridged
convoIutions Of the skin texture but
also the terminal bones Of the digit,
These bones are not exactly alike

MUCH LIKE MODERN WOMAN
Drawing Of Female Of Prehistoric Age
Shows Her to Have Been Slender
and Graceful.

Contrary to the general opinion,
the woman Of prehistoric days was
slender and graceful, much like the
women of today, according to draw
ings Of 10000 years ago which have
been found in the caves Of the Co
lombiere on the Ain, France. A
picture Of the Venus Of the stone
age was found. The drawing which
was made on a part of the bone Of a
mammoth has been described by DR..
Lucien Mayet at Lyons university.
The picture, according to Doctor
Mayet, shows two figures, a man
and the headless torso of a woman.
The man we'll fits the popular con-
ception Of the prehistoric man, be-
ing covered with hair. But the
woman has a figure Of exceptionally
high type with a slender and grace.
ful waist and the general lines thai
remind one of the early Greek art
Perhaps the only thing about heI
that the modern woman might taxi
exception to is that her hips ar
somewhat prominent.

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates 100000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health in the hospitals of this cOun-
try. Congress has appropriated in the
civil sundry bill the sum of 100000
for the purchase of books, with the
result that each of the $4,000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
in the larger hospitals has been EN-
barrassed by a shortage of funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty of
supplying books to the disabled in
hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are tC
be dispensed with, but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

old Fine Arts building of the 1893

riAes will be heard in the famous
structure, for it has been turned over

legion in Chicago, as an indoor rifle
range.
The large edifice, known as the old
Eield museum after the Worlds fair,
was evacuated with the completion of
the new Field museum. Various or
oonizatfons of Chicago Immediately
hesieged the park commissioners for
nermisson to use the building, but
the Legion posts request alone was
granted.

the veterans memories of sweltering

that a 200-yard range was established
without difficulty, along with the
