EVIDENCE IN A SINGLE HAIR
|
Human or Animal? What Kind of
Animal? Scientists Can Tell
Without Fall.
To the German analyst hair is
packed with information. The approx
imate age and physical condition can
be constructed by an examination of
a single hair, Melville Davisson Post
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
The hair of every animal has cer
tain distinguishing characteristics. It
is not to be mistaken by a competent
investigator. Some animals, as for
example the cow, have three types of
hair. These will be known by their
structure. Under a proper microscop
ical examination hairs will be as eas
ily distinguished by an expert as va
rieties of trees in a grove will be dis
tinguished by a forester.
There was a case in which a dagger
found on the prisoner had a few short
hairs caught entangled in a nick of the
blade. He explained this by saying
that he had used the dagger to kill a
rabbit that he had found trapped in a
hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hu
man origin, but they also added that
they were not rabbit hairs —they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prison
er had worn a great coat trimmed with
squirrel fur. He had, in fact, carefully
washed the knife after the assassina
tion and thereby removed every evi
dence of his act, but, unfortunately
for him, he made the mistake of at
tempting to dry the dagger by wiping
it on the fur lining of his great coat.
SOME FACTS ABOUT RADIUM
Found Only in the Most Minute Quan
tities —Minerals That Carry It
Easy to Determine.
Radium is a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. It
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. Radium
is ordinarily obtained from its ores in
the form of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form of
(hese salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearlj
white substances, whose appearance
is no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material is examined
with a microscope. Ordinarily radium
ore carries only a small fraction of a
grain to the ton of material, and ra
dium will never be found in large quan
tities because it is formed by the de
cay of uranium, a process which is
wonderfully slow, and radium itself de
cays and changes to other elements so
rapidly that it is impossible for it to
accumulate naturally in visible masses
Minerals that carry radium, however
are fairly easy to determine. One of
them, pitchblende, as generally found,
is a black mineral about as heavy as
ordinary iron, but much softer. The
principal radium mineral, camotite.
has a bright canary yellow color, and
is generally powdery. There are other
radium-bearing minerals of less im
nortance.
Webster’s Power Over Audience.
An interesting anecdote of Daniel
Webster is found in “Bygone Days in
Boston’’ in the North American Re
view. Webster was delivering an ad
dress in Faneuil hall on the necessity
for individual exertion and unflinch
ing patriotism to avert the dangers
that threatened the political party
whose principles he espoused, when
he perceived a terrible sway of the
packed assembly, consequent on the
rush of those endeavoring to enter,,
and noted the danger that might en
sue. The orator stopped short in the
middle of a sentence, advanced to the
edge of the platform, extended his
arms in an authoritative attitude, and,
in a stentorian voico of command,
cried out: “Let each man stand firm!"
The effect was instantaneous. Each
man stood firm: the great heaving
mass of humanity gained its equilib
rium, and, save the long breath of re
lief that filled the air, perfect stillness
ensued. “That,” exclaimed the great
orator, “is what we call self-govern
ment I” so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafen
ing cheers.
Five Kinds of Thunderstorms.
Recent study of thunderstorms has
resulted in science’s dividing them
into five distinct types. They are the
heat thunderstorms which occur In
regions of high temperature and near
ly uniform pressure; storms which
occur in the southeast quadrant of an
almost circular cyclone; storms which
occur between two anticyclones; and
those which occur on the boundary be
tween warm and cold waves. Of these,
all but the first ar produced by the
over and underrunning of winds of
different temperatures, which in some
way not yet understood, cause masses
of moist air to rise.
Matter of Business.
“I hope you don’t associate with
that man I ~aw you speak to in the
street just now?”
“Associate with him! What do you
take me for? Th? man, sir, is one
of the most rascally, corrupt, sneak
ing. under-handed, low-down, villain
ous. and depraved scoundrels that
ever kept out of jail!”
“I know it. But why are you on
speaking terms with him at all?”
’ Why, I'm—er —his lawyer.”

Most any one can be an editor.
Ail the editor has to do is to sit at

four weeks out of the month, twelve
months out of the year, and edit
such stuff as this;

“A mischievous lad of Piketown
threw a stone and hit Mr. Pike in
the alley last Tuesday.”
“John Doe climbed on the roof of

FAMOUS HORSEBACK RIDERS.
Men Who Won Fame In the Days of
the Old Pony Express.
Buffalo Bill Cody, it is believed, holds
(he record for the longest horseback
ride of which (here is authentic rec
ord. He was one of that gallant bsui 1
of fourscore pony express riders in the
sixties. On one occasion young Cody
—lie didn't become Buffalo Bill until
some years afterward—rode without
rest for 322 miles.
When (lie pony express was started
for tlie purpose of carrying I'unil from
St. Joseph, Mil., lo Saer js nto. Cal., u
distance of Lira; miles, n was planned
that each rider should cover seventy
five miles in a day on three different
horses.
It was soon found that twenty-five
miles was too much for the horses for
a regular unbroken gallop, and the
distance was reduced to from ten ti,
twelve miles. For that distance
ery horse w as pushed to his limit.
The shortest time in which the en
tire distance of 1.966 miles was cov
ered by pony express riders was made
in March. IS6T. They carried Lincoln’s
inaugural address t<> tlie Golden State
in seven days and seventeen hours, an
average speed of over ten and one
half miles an hour.
A rider named llaslam dashed off
120 miles in 8 hours and 10 minutes.
Another pony expressman covered one
ten mile stretch in 31 minutes, wdiich
is better than most of the Rocky
Mountain railroad limited trains can do.
Tiie news that Fort Sumter had been
fired upon was flashed from St. Joe to
Sacramento- in eight days and four
teen hours.
Jiiu Moore once r»de 2SO miles at an
average speed of eighteen miles tier
hour. The horses were the best that
could be obtained, and, as stated be
fore. they made short runs of from
ten to twelve miles. Ad
No wonder that sometimes a letter
had $27 worth of stamps upon it when
carried under such extraordinary con
ditions:—l’hilridelpliia Ledger.
