The identification V?f bodies that have been mutilated beyond recognition by the usual rules has until rccently bricm so diflieult that every year hundreds of bodies of heroes have been ct^nfigued to nameless graves. But u new system of identification has been discovered that is as accurate and unfailing ns is the famous system of measurement employed by the Paris |?olieo in keeping track of the crime tuila of France. It is identification by (mians of the teeth. It was first suggested and put in practice by a New York dentist. For years it has been the custom of all first class dentists to keep a complete, chart of the b-otl? ?' nil their putients, together with a record of all fillings removals or other WorJ( done to the masticators. These charts and records are carefully tiled away and are kept as long as the patient lives. A comparison of several hundred of these charts recently made in New York showed tlmt no two ol them were identically alike. The first ami most noted instance where identification l?y the teeth was made con olunivo wrtH in tho ciwhi of N(ircrow( tho dynamiter, who attempted the lift- of RllRHoll HllgO, lUlll WIIH hloWIl to ]>it'dl'H, While a trousers' button furnished tho flrnt clow to his identity, it wiih not antil bio tooth woro examined by Ju? dentin! thnt tho identity was reeogbized by tho young mint's parents.
