FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE
Not Even the Smallest Variation Takes
Place From Infancy to Elk
treme Old Age.

The use Of finger prints as n means
OF identification was first made prac-
teal and put into operation by Sir
William HerSchel of the Indian civil
service In the police department Of
Bengal. The lineatiOns Of the thumb
and fingers have, however, attracted
the attention OF scientists for at least
a century.
The ridges and patterns are Of four
primary types. First, arches, In which
the ridges run from one side to the
other. but make no backward turn :;
second, loops, in which some of the
ridges make a backward turn but
are devoid Of twists; third, whlrls,
In which some of the ridges make a
turn through at least one complete
circuit; and fourth. composite. where
two or more OF the first three patterns
are combined in the same imprint.
1t has been demonstrated that these
designs persist unchanged In the small
est detail throughout the individuals
life, and that there are no two per-
sons whose imprints are identical. The
design on the fingers Of newborn
infant are easily recognizable in the
same person in old age.

HIGH VALUE OF SAND BATHS
From Findings Of Danish Medical

From the earliest history Of man
baths Of hot sand have been used

Their conclusions are to the effect
that the hot sand bath seems to COM

circulation-a direct action on tho
muscles from the weight Of the SAND.
This relaXes the muscle and tends to
break up the various circles Of pain and
muscle contraction. This relaxing ef-

other advantage of sand baths Is that
they can be graduated with precision

Key to Egyptian Hieroalyphics.

The Rosetta stone, one of the most
celebrated archaeological discoveries of
modern times, is famous for being the
key whereby the deciphermcnt OF the
Egyptian hieroglyphics was made pos
slble. 1t was found in 1900 near RIOS
eta, Egypt, by an officer of engineers
In the French army, which was then
In occupation of that country.
The stone is a slab Of black basalt,
and bears an inscription in honor Of
Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three
languages-Greek, denote and hero
glyphic. AS the three inscriptions are
OF Identical Significance. the Greek
made easy the decipherlng Of the
others.
Until the discovery Of the stone
psychologists had no key to Egyp-
tian hieroglyphlcs, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured lltera-
ture has been read with ease and
much valuable information given to
the world.

Quaker Persuasion.

When Judge William Cooper, the
founder Of COoperstown on OtsegO
lake, New Yors, decided to move into
the wilderness from Burlington, +. j..
his wife, says the. author Of Legends
of Northern County" did not take
kindly to the plan. Finally, when the
moment came for them to depart, and
the carriage and the wagons were
loaded and at the door, Mrs. Cooper
sat down in her fathers library and
refused to bulge.
The judge was Quaker, and not
man of contentious disposition; but he
was both tall and strong. Without
words he picked up his wife, chair and
all, set her on ore OF the wagons and
started on lis way.

WILD LEMONS IN PROPULSION
Generous Gift of Nature to
Island of Norfolk.

Lemons grow wild all over the island
of Norfolk. British possession in the
South Pacific, according to Thomas J.
NcMahon, in the Transatlantic Maya
zine. He writes that i'm every garden
and paddock are clumps OF trees ever
bearing fruit i'm wonderful abundance,
and of a variety full of rich juice
and with a rind most suitable for
lemon peel.
Little factories, family concerns, are
dotted all over the islands. They are
usually roughly constructed wooden
buildings divided iato three rooms.
There, with rather primitive instru-
ments, the women cut and squeeze
the lemons in huge frames, and the
skins are soaked in brine preparatory
to making lemon peel. During the
lemon season, which is most of the
year. the boys and girls are engaged
daily in picking the fruit.
While there are only 500 people
on the island. it could comfortably
and prospcrousIy house 5000 per
sons. according to Mr.. McMahon. The
island is five miles long, three mile
broad and contains $500 acres.

Experts of the. United States De
partment Of Agriculture have just been
carrying out some tests to discover the
speed-ratcs of different species of flies
In a district Of northern Texas pa
600 flies of various species were
caught. were busted with finely
powdered red chalk, and were then
liberated. Fly-traps, baited with food
especially reliShcd by flies, were placed
at measured distances from the point
Of release. 1t was found that most
flies would travel distances up to
!. 600 feet in a few minutes. The
house-fly covered over six miles In less
than 2t hours. The maximum dis
lance travelled by it in these expert
ments was 1914 miles.
