MÁNY IDENTIFICATIONS.
As against these drawbacks, taking the fingerprints requires only the simplest op. paratus a square of white paper not too highly glazed, soma prister's ink, and a roller to spread it on a flat sheet of tin. The necessary skill is soon acquired so as not to over-ink the fingers and to press them too lightly by the paper.
In his raport on the trade of Canton for, 190, Mr Consul General Scott points out that silk nud silk manufactures form the stapla prov duct of the Canton province, and, together,
The identifications made last year amounted they account for sonie 34,000,000 taelė in an to more than 5,000, and these will certainly export trade valued at 44,000,000 reels increase with the larger register.

Canton silk is in demand chiefly in competition with Japan and cheap "Italians." During the year under review the crops yielded an average quantity, while in quality the cocoons were superior to last year's with the exception of the third crop, which was more or less damaged by the rains. All at tempts to induce the Chinese to improve their pinduce have failed, for the native is content io follow old lines" and refuses to raise his standard of workmanship, even when offered botter pilces.

FINGER-PRINTS AND CRIME.
MEANS BY WHICH CRIMINALS MAY DE
INSTANTLY IDENTIFIED.
is now proved to demonstration that, given ceriais premises, the concealment of identity is absolutely impossible. Every man born into this world brings with him certain upmis takable and unalterable tenits which if they are once properly noted and duly recorded, he may be infallibly recognised without the possibility of mistake. The personal evidence is deemed "good enough in law to ensure n capital conviction. Witness the sentence just passed upon the "mask murderers,"
Strange to say, this ancient, system of idemți- fication by fingerprints sa récently adopted
by the police of this country is so little under
stood here that the most absurd mistakes are
made as to its origin and history. One journal
in a leading article mistakenly associates it with M. Bertillon, the French doctor, who discovered the principles of anthropometry, and the same mistake is made in an encycle- pædia just published.
As a matter of fact there, is no sort of con nection between tertillonage, the selence of hunian measurements, and the marvellous results obtained by the imprint of the human band.
Anthropometry, as most people know was a highly ingenious discovery that there are certain bony structures in the humn frame that remain practically unchanged during life. time. Thest, mainly the bead length, head breadth, middle finger-length, length of foot, with some others, do not vary between adolescence and extrame old age.
Upon this M. Berillon constructed a system
of taking these measurements, recording them,
very perfectly classified, so that when again met with in Individuals, identification by means of index became easy. The obvious. uses of this anthropological law in matters of criminal detection inon popularized the system throughout the civilised world.
COMMITTEE'S FINDING • England took it up tardily, but at length, in 1894. a small departmental committee (of which I was one) was appoised to inquire into the system and report upon the wisdom of adopting it here. At the same time we were desired in examine the results arrived at by Mr. Francis Galton in his investigation of the properties of finger-marks as an inalienable Testimony of personal identity.

The chances of change be tween birth and death ware 1 to 700.
The main difficulty was in classification. It was essential to arrive at a clear comprehen sion of the various markings so strangely re corded and presented by the finger-prints, and la agree on a nomenclature by which they could be recognised and read off. Our com mittee saw no definite solution of this difficul- ty, and we then recommended a system which combloed unthropometry and finger-prints to: gather. This was ad-pied and held the ground Žil 1900.
Meanwhile the ancient practice had found great favour in India, a country in which falte personation is a common fraud and to fix idon tity beyond all doubt before the courts & matter of extreme inportance. The finger-print was used in all transfers of deeds, in all certificates.
And so on.
