Craphoiaetry is tb' science of form und relative proportion of letters in handwriting. Ir. Edmund Locard. head of the Lyons police laboratory of identitio:;tion, has elaborated these new. methods of crime detection to a point where the results "have been accepted in the Lyons courts and are said to have been proved effective. In poroscopy. Doctor Locard hlds the number, form and position of hotly pores remain the same throughout life. The impression of tin.' pores in Doctor LocanTs system is colored by chemical vapors or very line powders io 1 hey may be photographed under a microscope. Doctor Locard tells of several successful prosoctitiiuis supported by his new sciences. In one case a burglar won gloves, but left an impression of a small surface, of forearm. That tr:icevconvla.'d him. Another burglar, perspiring freely, left the impression of pore surfaces through his kIvcs ami went to Jail. Craphometry, as termed by Doctor Locard. consists primarily In the theory that handwriting shows always a vrtnin relation in size between letters and unmistakable characteristicsin form, particularly In loops. In adlilioii t these principles Doctor I.tcard, of course, utilizes generally accepte! mcthils of detecting forgeries. WHEN BAVARIAN GIRL WEDS 1 V.

The advertisement, which compares favorably with placards heralding facilities for vacationers at the many head-of-thtlakes summer resorts, was signed hy a Chicago lumber linn with camps la the vicinity of Lorettn, Wis. According to the agency, the response would have been greater had the advertisement read "Three squares a day, warm bunks and reasonable ours." ".Many of the lumberjacks are foreigners ami cannot yet read-the Hnglish language extensively," said the Mgent. who declared only a part of the :c.en reading the advertisement undertinid what "choice cuisine, spring beds md private nnms" meant. "While many were stumped through inability to understand the meaning "f the unusual notice, others," said, 'he ntzent, "refused to be 'kidded by uh -blink.'" Despite the fact that not a few timber workers dropped in at th oiIie to assure the agent that they "wouldn't fall for any such bait," many took the notice seriously and tiled applications for positions with the company. Whether the old-time lumber camps, with their assembly bunkhouses, kerosemMamp lights, wood-stove heat, straw -mattress beds. old-fashioned cooking, "do It yourself when you need it" laundry, are to be replaced by the modern camps with private rooms, spring beds, choice cuisine, etc., could' not be ascertained by the agent. However, he TTaS of the opinion that few camps in thQ north woods this winter would Ije equipped with electric lights, steam hfcat, bath and showers and : electrically operated laundries. The agent admitted that "It Is pos- v sible for this particular camp to have 1 tin described equipment. Twins Smallest Fo!k Alive. P.ogalusa, La.

Including the expenses of dismounting, packing, transporting, insurance and Installation in Peking. The theft of these Instruments was the subjec t of much aIverse comment In Europe.

The Cologne Gazette m.nle a vigorous protest, so vigorous, indeed, that the German government, to quiet it. announced that the German minister In Peking had been Instructed- to "buy" the instruments after the offer of the Chinese government to make a present f them to the German emperor hal been declined. The instruments adorned the Potsdam Orangery until their restoration toChinauas ordered by the victors in the great war.

HEALS SCARS OF WAR Nature Doing Her Best to Wipe Out Marks of Conflict.

Forests Supposed to Have Ceen Ccnvpletely Ruined Show Remarkable Recovery Battle Lines Fade. Soissons, Prance. Nature is making such rapid progress In healing the scars of war In France that, outside of towns where ruins are still Stätzling, it will soon be Impossible to discover the famous front line of four years of war without close examination. It has become evident that the abÄidoiiod project of maintaining Intact, as It existed at the close of hostilities, the line from NIeuport, in P'lgium, to P.elfort, as a lesson to future generations, could not have been car-' ried out excepting at an enormous expense. Forests that were supposed to have been annihilated have shown remarkable recover'. Positions that wen1 upheaved repeatedly until the subsoil covered the surface almost completely, living every appearance of hopeless aridity, have been slowly covered by vegetation. Even the famous height along which runs the Chemin dos Dames (the Ladies' Way), is covered with thick herbage, that remains green In spite of the drought. In order to preserve certain famous war scenes such as the P.ayonet Trench at Wrdun, It was necessary to erect a shelter and protect the trench from the slow but sure work of nature in order to preservo It as it was during the great battle.

It was thought Miss IJoyles was en route to Pari- to elopo with Count Guy Trepinard who was recently a guest at the Royles home In New Castle and was one of Miss Ioybs numerous suitors. When seen la London, Miss Poyles said the count is a "dnndy chap,' but her heart really belongs to an American she had met aboard the ship. She said she left home because she was tired of the dull routine. WIDOW'S DIP PROVES COSTLY Woman Alleges Her Companion Stole $3,440 From Her in Brooklyn, New York.
