IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT Finger-Print System Claimed to Have Been in Use in Far East for i Many Years. i} ‘The finger-print system that sleuths all over the world have successfully used In catching desperate criminals was the invention of orientals, elther Chinese or Japanese, according to Fillipo de Filipp!, writing tn Nature. ‘The discovery was originally credited to Sir W. Herschel, in a parliamentary blue book, but Kumagusus Minakata, a Japanese, proved the case for the East. No one in the controversy quoted Rashid-ud-din, who wrote about the system in use In Cathay even in his day. It was a finger-print system ofa sort, although not like that in use today. There was no blackening of the hands prior to the taking of the impression, but rather the hand was placed on paper and traced by the per- son taking the print. The hands of op deeds in those days. De Filipp! says that this system is worthy of investigation to ay as study of the drawings shows a distinct difference in the outlines of fingers of the hands of different In dividuals, in the length of the fingers anctent | THE COMRADE. : Are you sleeping, sleeping soundly, Comrade over there, Where the grasses wave above you “¥ In the summer air, Where we laid you as we found you With the ravaged land around you Grim and bare? Can you hear the bugle blowing Faint and far away? . Can you hear the loud drums throbbing, Hear the trumpets bray Hear the tribute that w der To the souls that won the splendor Of the day? "Tis the day we fought and tolled for, The day for which you died, Underneath the flag of freedom, The banner of our pride, Which today is proudiy flying O'er the fallen victors lying Bide by side, O! surely you shall know us Within your narrow bed, When battle-worn battalions Salute the honored dead, Shall feel the brown earth shaken And to knowledge shall awaken At our tread! -By Touchstone in London Daily Mall. “BARREL-KEG WATER FILTER contracting parties were always placed | Device, With Ald of Sand and Gravel Will Provide Pure Water for Home Use.

Nature has so created the heautl ful flamingo that he does some things both backwards and upside down. For one thing, he eats with the crown of | bis head on the ground, in the bottom ot some shallow stream. From one glance at his jaw one would think it was badly broken. Instead, his bill is in perfect working order, only things are reversed with It, and his lower gnaw is securely fixed, while his upper jew is movable. Both portions of his big beak are arranged in a series of | thin plates, like the bills of all mem- bers of the duck family, so that he can easily sift the nice squirmy things he likes from the soft mud. Flamingoes frequent salt marshes, and when these become dry will then go long distance to find othérs, Florida | used to be the birds’ happy hunting ground and many lovely members of the family could be met !n other coun- tries. Very few of them are left now and those surviving are very shy of the hunter, and seldom seen. Very few are left in this country and bird lovers predict that In a few years more they will become extinct. St!l1 Use Dogs in Alps. Although the tunnels which connect Switzerland with Italy have greatly decreased the Importance of the St. Bernard and other passes, es- pecially during the eight months of gnow, it is still deemed advisable to employ St. Bernard dogs. It Is no Jonger customary, however, to send out the dogs alone with baskets of food and drink; a man always accom panies them. These dogs are not real ly of the famous old St. Bernard breed. That originated tn the four- teenth century, through a cross be tween a shepherd dog from Wales and a Scandinavian dog whose par ents were a Great Dane and a Py- renean mastiff. The last pure di ‘cend- ant of this tribe was buried under an avalanche In 1816. Fortunately, there were found subsequently at Martigny and on the Simplon pass a few dogs which by crossing with mates from Wales, ylelded the modern St. Bernard dog, which ts physically even stronger than his medieval namesake, and shares most of his tralts. ———$__—_—__—- now Horse Lore. It 1s found that there is a very definite connection between the coat color of horses and the frequency with which white markings occur. Thus the latter are by far the most common- ly associated with the chestnut color, And not only are they the mest preva- lent in chestnut horses, but it is also, of course, a well-known fact that the markings are apt to be more extended in nature in the case of this color than In that of any other, Chestnut, therefore, apparently possesses, so to speak, a special affinity for these mark- ings. Bay ranks next as regards the degree of frequency with which white markings appear in horses of this col- or, although it comes a good way be- hind chestnut in this respect. Then follows brown, while the white marks are met with less frequently among black and roan-colored horses—Indian- apolis News. In the Age of Chivalry. Most persons will be surprised to | hear that the idea of women requtr- ing escort, especially of a really pro- tective nature, 1s of comparatively modern origin. But such appears to be the case. Nothing strikes one more forcibly in the study of medieval Nterature than the absolute freedom women enjoyed to travel and wander alone without fear of molestation. The times were unsettled undoubtedly, and men lived for fighting only. But, nevertheless, the helpless and defense- less were safe enough so far as one can judge from contemporary litera- ture. It is not to be denied that they came to grief occasionally, but as a general rule men respected the other sex in the days of chivalry, and even ‘the worst of scoundrels allowed an an- prctacted woman to ride by unbarmed. SSC | to the advent ordinary 50-gallon barrel, the layers filtering material being of the thickness shown, the free space (S) |} at tne top will hold about elght gallons of water. In using the arrangement the filter barrel is filled with water, | and a faucet (A) is opened, permit- ting the liquid to seep through Into the A Home-Made Filter. water keg. When the water keg 1s filled faucet A can be closed and the filter barrel again charged. When the filter works slowly it Indicates the sand is becoming clogged. This condi- tion can be corrected by removing some of the top layer of the sand, pos- sibly to the depth of six inches, and replacing it with clean sand. All of the sund and gravel in the barrel should be thrown away and renewed at regular intervals. Liama Still Used as Burden Bearer. Dogs and lamas were the only anil- mals known to have been used for con veying burdens by the Indians, prior of white men in the western hemisphere. The use of the dog was restricted almost entirely to the caribou and bi- son areas, with a sledge in the most northern part and toboggan in the forests, or where the snow would not bear the weight of runners. The tra- vols of the bison area was a primitive vehicle consisting of two trailing poles with a platform or net across them for carrying the load. From Ecuador north to the Colorado river there Is no evidence of anything but human carriage, but In Peru the llama was used. It has little more carrying capacity than a large dog, but is particularly well adapted for moun- tain travel, and even today has not wholly been replaced by the mule or horse.—Detrolt News. Truck for Chambermaide. Everything maid in her work can be carried con- ventently on a rubber-tired truck de signed for use In hotels and apartment buildings and described with tlustra- tion In the Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. The vehicle ts of all-metal con struction, and has shelves for clean bed linen, towels and wash cloths. At one end is a large canvas bag for soiled articles, A carpet sweeper, a broom, a feather duster and other cleaning utensils are placed at the opposite end | Compartments on top hold soap, elec- tric light bulbs, safety pins and other sundries. Crab Shell Is Barometer. The Araucanians, of the southern most province of Chile, use a crab shell as a barometer. In dry, fair weather it {s white, but when rain is approaching red spots appear on It, and when excessive molsture Is present in the atmosphere It becomes red all over. Excellent Advice. “Boss, please gimme 6 cents for car- fare,” whined the measly mendicant. “I want to go out to the Country club and I ain't got de 6 cents.” “Ah!” returned old Festus Pester. “Then, by all means, do not go. A man who hasn't 6 cents would feel sad- ly out of place tn the exclusive Coun- try club district."—Kansas City Star. Take Too Much Credit. “The Blanks are always bragging about their ancestors.” “Yes, from the way they talk one would imagine they had selected them themseives."—Bosten Transcript. | RUE a ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-TREASURER OF THE COT- | \\ TONWOOD HIGHWAY DISTRICT To the Hon.
