About Thumb Marks. . 1 A tremendous amount of non¬ sense has been written about thumb marks,” said a New Orleans phy ■SICTaiT; -mre paths of science. “It is claimed, you know, that the curious skin configuration on the ball of the thumb is never the same in any two people, and that it never changes from birth to death. The first statement is, of course, cor¬ rect, as no human being in the world is exactly like any of his fellows, and the same thing can be said of the lines on the palm, th< bottom ot the feet, and the skin configuration^^ {}/£ thumb marks never change during life and would serve as a means of identification from the cradle to the grave is, to say the least, a decid¬ ed exaggeartion.

As usual the skin peeled off, and it oc¬ curred to me one day to take a new impression and see whether the fresh surface was an exact fac¬ simile of the old. I was astonish¬ ed at the variations, and all my preconceived ideas of the immuta¬ bility of the mark were higher than a kite.

That excited my interest, and I persuaded a few of my friends to loan me their thumbs for expe¬ riments, I first took India ink im¬ pressions and then removed the top skin with a solution of arnica. The skin layer that came off was a mere film—not nearly as thick as in my ease—yet in every instance there were distinct and unmistaka¬ ble alterations in the linee. One man’s second print was so changed you would never in the world have identified it with the first. Anoth¬ er modifying cause is the tendency of the thumb to develop little hor¬ izontal creases, as one grows old. This is especially true of mechan¬ ics and other working people who use tools, and eventually the creas¬ es will break up the skin configur¬ ation to such an extent that it is equivalent almost to a rearrange¬ ment of the i l Yes, I know popular belief is dead against me on the subject, added the doctor, in response to a question, “but there are a lot of things we take for granted in the world that won’t bear scrutiny.’’— Selected.

A man can no more be success¬ ful in a business he does not like than can a man be happy with a wife he does not love. Enthusiasm is the power which impels men onward in any and every vocation, Without it men are lethargic. They will drift. But to pull against the tide they .are as unable as they are unwill ing. Drifting, however, does not win the race, either in business or aquatic events, There must be the long pull, the strong pull, and the pull with vigor. Men in business today have no easy task. There is a great deal to discourage-ntid very little to en courage. There are foes within and toes without to contend with. Under such conditions it is no wonder so many either fail alto¬ gether or eke out a mere existence. The antidote for despair is en¬ thusiasm, and the germ of enthu¬ siasm is love for or pleasure in that business or vocation in which are embarked.
