Identification by the Ifecth.
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

"Most of the Cape stones are sent to

Amsterdam and Antwerp, the great

as well in Maiden lane as in A mater*

general rule that one -third ol the atone
should be above the girdle and twothirds
below it. This proportion is
tiuiuetimes sacrificed in order to avoid
imperfection in a atone, such as black
spots and feathers, and at least one*
half of the atones arc more or leas imperfect.
