HOW TO TELL A CRIMINA4..
PeCuliarities of Head Development
Are Present in Most Cases.
Many criminals who might other-
wise have escaped have been detect-
ed by the abnormal development of
thole.' heads.
Professor Lombroro, a great crime
nologiat, said that it was his Minion
that all criminals except .thieves had
remarkable heads. Charles Peace le,
a striking example, for Isis head was
an enormous size, -whilst his ears were
very prominent,
Irregular heads are another feature
in criminals of all classes. The thief
possesses this peculiarity in addition
to a remarkably small head. The
lower part of the face has always a
heavy appearance, and crime experts
declare that the weight of the lower
jaw is far above that of an ordinary
man. Young. thieves often have a
number of freckles and wrinkles which
are strongly Marked.

WORLD'S FASTEST CAMERA
Two Miles a Second Speed of One
Recently Invented.
•
A wonderful new invention is a
camera made by Professcr H. B.
Dixon, a Manchester man, which re-
cords an a film anything traveling
at a speed of -close to two miles a
second. He has Constructed the fast-
est camera in the world, usually
taking a hundred yards of film photo-
graph,in a second.
This 'speed de not fast enough, how-
ever,,for the professor's purpose, and
he is now busy studying the flame of,
explosions created by alcohol, petrol,
and other motor fuels. He tests them
singly and in mixtures, and is .intent
on photographing the flame of an ex-
plosion traveling at a speed of 3,0'00
yards a second.
He has succeeded in getting his
films to 'record a flame traveling at
this speed by fixing on the camera
a lens that reduces each image to one -
twelfth of the ordinary size and set-
ting the camera at right angles to
the lines algng which the flame
travels.
The exact measurements Professor
Dixon has obtained are likely teehave
a great effect on the production of
British motor fuel. Attached to his
marvelous camera is a delicate time-
piece that measures the travel --of the
flame down to the ten-thousendbh of
a second, and with these new instru-
ments bhe professor is making precise
discoveries of the firing -point of all
the new kinds of motor fuel. He .corn -
presses them in a steel cylinder and
then fires them under the eye of the
camera.
ONE U. S. REGIMENT

GUNS TELL LONDON
PEACE IS SIGNED
JOYOUS CROWD FILLED STREETS
OF BRITISH 0,APiTAL.
King and Queen Took Part In rioloic•
Ingo of Throngs That Surrounded
euekingham Palace.
The ()facial opal was set on the re-
port of the signing of peace by the
booming of gene, says a Loralon des.
patchee The West End was filled with
joyous crowds, but the rejoicings fell
far below those w1tne:080d on armistice
44Y.
The announcement of the eiguing
was made from stages of theatres and
music halls at the matinee perform-
ances, and the audiences sang "Rule,
Britannia!" and "God Save the King,"
Trafalgar Square and its neighbor-
hood were unusually crowded, but this
was due to the desire to watch the
Victory Loan proceseion, organized by
women, rather than to the spirit of
celebration.
The Royal Family Take Part.
As the guns began firing, giving a
strangely familiar .bnitation of an air
raid defense, the Ring and Queen, a0-
companled by the Prince of Wales and
Princess Peery, appeared on the bal-
cony at Buckingham Palace. A crowd
110,000 strong had gathered there some
-time before, and as the cheers went
up there was a rush from all parts of
the nearby parks to reinforce it. For
three-quartere of an hour the royal
family stood in presence of the people,
and the scene had that simple homely
English touch which marked the armis-
tice celebrations.
The crowd was composed of people
of all ages and callings. The band,
hastily got together from Guards re-
giments at Wellington Barracks, in-
teeepersecl national airs with hymns
and popular songs, and the Ring made
a brief speech of thanks and congratu-
lations. "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and "The Marseillaise" were two of
the national anthems played, besides
the British, and, as the band broke
into "Tipperary," there were smiles
which turned into something suspic-
iously like tears.
"awes good to know that the "long,
long way" was traversed at last, but
the air brought back too many memor-
ies of 1914 to be sung very heartily.
The Prince was honored with hie
own anthem, ''God Mess the Prince of
Wales,'' and then the Queen turned to
Princess Mary, who was standing, in
the background, and bade her take her

The Princess was greeted with a great
Two verses of "0 God, Our Help,"
were sung by all, standing with bared
heads, and then the King, noticing that
his orderlies, a sergeant and a pri-.
vate,overe standing where they could
see nothing, called them out to a place
on the balcony to get a view of the
wonderful scene below. "Rule Brame
nia," and "Land of Hope and Glory"
were sung with great enthusiasm, and
"Keep the Home Fires Burning," and
the old favorite, "Lads of the Old Bre
gade," were two or the popular airs
played. Then, with a salute leom the
Kira; and three deep courtesies from e
tho Queen, the demonstration came to •
an end. '
Bells Ring and Flags Wave.
The news agencies and newspapers
have circulated a number of messages
from various personalities on the con-
clusion of peace. The predominating
note is that, While the peace may not
be all it might have been, it is still
something to be deeply thankful for.
The announcement that the blockade
will not be raised till the German
National Assembly has ratified the
treaty accords to some extent with tho
apprehensions that are felt even yet.
London learned of the signing of the
Peace Treaty at Versailles at 3,40
p,m. The news became known through
the firing of guns which had been in-
stalled during the war to warn the city
of air raids.
The moving throngs came to a halt
when the first report was heard. The
tension lasted but a few seconds. Then
the people gave themselves up to cele-
bration of the event. Flag sellers did
a brisk trade. Their wares were
bought eagerly and were thrown to the
breeze by the cheering thousands.
The great bells of St. Paul's Cathe-
dral and Westminster Abbey and vile
tnally all tee churches of the metro-
polis' added to the din, Bands of Boy
Scouts, engaged in their usual after-
noon marching, put even more than
customary vigor into the blowing of
bugles and the beating of drums,
Trafalgar Square, already crowded
by: those attending a huge war bond
sale, was a magnet that drew many
other thousands, -The crowds poured
into the square, cheering fie they mune.
Whitehall and other centres, including
Hyde Park, also had their demonstra-
tions!. Thousands of Boy Scouts,
drawn by the blowing of many whis.
ties, gathered to celebrate in Hyde
Park. In fact, tho whole west end
Suburban district participated in the
celebration. The only quiet spot was
the square mile which composes the
City of London proper, which is

Even there flags were soon flying.
At night a groat circle of search-
lights played streams of light over the
silty.
