In an effort to diesover the killer
of a woman on the Potters' Bar
golf course the police some time ago
took paint prints of about 9,000
people. After the murderer had
been caught, anyone whose palm
prints were taken could collect
them from the police.
Paint prints are by, no means new
in the investigation of crime. Nine-
teen hundred years ago a blind
Roman lad was accused of having
stabbed his father while the old
man slept. The case against him was
strong, because the walls bore the
imprints of a blood - stained hand
as though a blind murderer had
felt his way after the crime.
Furthermore, the lad's step•
mother, who bated him, swore that
she had awakened to see him kill
his father with one swift stab.
The lad was defended by the
famolis Roman lawyer, Quintilian,
First Quintilian proved that the
boy loved his father and, had, in
fact, lost his sight when he rescued
his father from a burning house.
Then the lawyer showed that a
blind man could not, stick a knife
Into anything in one swift stab;
he had to feel for it first.
Quintilian also reminded the
court that the handle of 'the knife,
''' was perfectly clean, yet It the h6 r,;.'

But bakeries, which have the
largest take from the retail price
of bread, apparently are not rol-
ling in profits either; for, according
-to the USDA, "Profits of whole-
Ode bakeries have fluctuated in re-
cent years., Judging from a sample
of six major national firms the
trend In profits after taxes has been

Or the first nine months of 1955
indicated an upturn for the year.
When the elements which make
up the wholesale price of bread are
tabulated, as has been done by the
USDA in this stedy, it is difficult
to put the finger on anyone who is
getting a lion's share of profit:

Nadar suffered a broken leg.
His injured wife was in bed for
months. Others, receiving brok-
en arms, sprains, cuts, contu-
sions and nervous breakdowns,
sent the bill for damages soar-
ing, •to 125,000- francs. Nadar
paid, then declared, imperturb-
ably: "I was right. Balloons are

He did found this society and
published a forthright book
whose translated title is "The
Right to Fly." Among men at-
tracted to his magnetic vitality
was Jules Verne, who immor-
talized Nadar by using him as
."Michael Ardent," fictional hero
of the Verne balloon books.
Nadar lived until 1910-to see
the Wright Brothers fulfil his
belief in heavier-than-air ma-
chines and his countryman Ble-
riot fly the Channel, so justi-
fying his astonishing Society of
Encouragement!

the instant flash photography
by electric light,
More startling still, Nadar
took camera and lights deep in-
to the Paris catacombs to pro-
duce the most dramatic phetps
ever seen of that eerie under-
world of the dead,
Then the. art of ballooning at-
tracted his attention, "But aero-..
nauts do nothing except float
where the wind takes them," he
complained, To show what he
could do, Nadar booked a bal-
loon and sailed over Faris at
1,600 feet, leaning perilously
front the frail basket to take the
world's first airt photographs!
Just a century ago,
In all, he made thirty flights
taking photographs, then pub-
lished them in an album explain-
ing at the same time that aerial
photography would be valuable
for military strategy, civil town
planning and map-making-for
all of which it is standard tech-
nique to-day.
But even while he made prac-
tical use of them, Nadar attack-
ed those who believed that bal-
loons could conquer the air. 50
years before their time he de-
clared: "There must be engine
power - and heavier-than-air
machines! The more powerful
the apparatus, relatively the
lighter it will be. The force of
a 2-horse-power engine weighs
'less than two forces of one
horse-power each."
To show that size could not
aid steering, Nadar ordered the
world's biggest balloon. A gas-
bag 210,000 cubic feet in 75,000
square feet of silk, with a wick-
er gondola built like a two-
storey house. Named "The
Giant," it cost a fortune of 200,-
000 francs. Knowing the public
would not subscribe, Nadar set
to and earned it himself by ex-
hibiting and selling his most out-
standing photographs.
His first ascent on Octpber.
4th, 1863, 'ended four hours later
-the gas valve had ben left
open! Was it because Nadar de-
fied superstition by having
thirteen aboard? Two weeks
later,, with his wife, nine pas-
sengers and Eugene Arnold, the
first air reporter,' he set off
again, with *.:200i000 Parisians
paying to wave 'farewell. Am-
ong them wasIgipiffleon II, whom

Danger threatened when The
Giant began to fall towards the
stormy North Sea. "Land be-
fore it is too late!" yelled the
frantic passengers. Instead, Na-
dar stopped them from reaching
the gas valve by brandishing a
loaded revolver.
Luckily sea winds blew them
inland. They drifted over Bel-
gium and Holland, began to des-
cend into Germany when the
wind rose to forty-five miles an
hour. Rain slashed down. The

A. century ago a man was fly-
ing over Paris taking photo,
graphs from the air that could
tot be bettered to-days.
He was the fantastic French-
man, Felix ToUrnachon, a jack-
ft-all-trades who succeeded in
t dozen brands, of business and
endured a hundred adventures
ay land and air. Bern in T.YOna
31 1820, he found fame and for,-
tune under.. his nick-name of
War.
Leaving school to become a
medical student, but not having
li private income to pay for his
DO, board and books, Felix
:ound a spare-time job as a
newspaper writer at the age of
sixteen.
Qualifying as a doctor in
Lyons and Paris, he gave up
medicine to turn painter and
caricaturist. He took on another
lob as secretary to a member of
the French Parliament. But this
was too dull for live-wire Felix.
Tall, robust and resolute, he
marched with cocksure confid-
ence into a Paris newspaper of-
fice and promptly landed him-
self an editorial post on the per-
suasiveness of his tongue.
With lively zest Nadar, as he
now called himself, wrote ar-
ticles which were avidly read,
In this spare time he drew car-
toons of continental notables,
etched with such acid wit that
they were at once admired and
feared. He wrote a short book,
"La Mort de Dupuytren," that
was published all over France
and translated, it was said, into
every foreign language. No few-
er than 600 editions were pub-
lished.
Nadar might have settled into
authorship as his major profes-
sion; but the Revolution of 1848
broke out and he turned free-
lance fighter on the boulevard
barricades.
Civil war was widespread all

Nadar made himself odd man
out by showing sympathy for
the Poles. He tried to join the

Arrested, he escaped, only to
be arrested again in Germany
and imprisoned for months in
a German jail. Released at last,
he returned: to France as a po-
litical journalist determined to
defeat the election of Prince
Louis Napoleon as president.
But Napoleon got in. So Nad-
ar got out. . 'Politics - journ all s m -

Nadar. "I'll do something dif-

from ear to ear, the 22-year-old
ninth Earl of Guildford rode a
child's tricycle through the
streets of Cirencester, Gins., fol-

a suspicious policeman.
Finally, after a half mile of
furious pedalling, the Earl met
a man who waved a £5 note at
him. His ride had won home a
