So likewise might other occupations be determined: a school teachc« from chalk dust: a jeweler from gold and silver particles: a druggist from chem ical specks; a lumberman from mi nute fragments of wood, and so through most of the scale. In the same way a man’s city may bo determined by analysis of dust found In his clothing. If It contains much carbon or coal, he probably comes from Scranton; If copper, from Butte, Montana; If bits of minute coral, from St. Augustine, Florida, whose streets are paved with coral, and similarly down the list. No one pretends that the list at this time Is accurate. But some patient In vestlgators In the future may coropil* a Mat of occupations, as wel* as of cities, with all the precision that the | advance of science may bring to It i and then the Job of the detectives promises to be easier. A few years ago a French scientist was able to help the police to con vlct a man suspected of»- certain mur . der in a quarry- The suspect said be | had been sleeping io the fields.
