Pencil marks in Bibles help T.. O..
Heinrich, former university professor
and consulting crlminologist, solve
mysteries.
1t is his experience that 1.-The aver
age man marks shis Bible with pur-
pose. In doing so he reflects his in
nermost thought. Excepting the lit
erateur, who finds only literary value
there. a man reads his Bible for solace,
Tor release of troubled spirit. His un-
derscorings indicate his mental per
turbation. Growing heavier and more
pronounced they gradually reach a
climax. Before he has finished he has
traced in the Scriptures an image of
his inner self"
A Maryland resident after the death
of his wife. from whom he was es-
tranged, received from her a penciled
notation on a leaf of her Bible torn
from the Fiftieth Psalm. 1t was too
dim to be read even under a powerful
glass.
Heinrich bleached the paper and
photographed the writing. 1t was
merely tender expression of her love
for her husband. In life she had been
too proud to deny the charges he had
laid against her, but the writing was
positioned to emphasize these words,

In conjunction with the biological survey the Alaska College is carry ing on quite successfully experi- ments in crossing reindeer and cari- bou. A 40 acre tract has been fenc- ed off on the north slope of College hill, giving ample room for the herd which consists of nine reindeer and three carabou. Two reindeer fawn, pretty little things, were born recent ly. The College is cooperating with the biological survey by opening it's laboratory for use of the experts. The caribou were brought to the College last winter from Kockrines where they were caught in a reir- deer herd. After weeks of patient labor the caribou were broken to lead, before the long journey to the college began.
