The network of tiny veins on the black of a man'e hand is &smooch peculiar to himself as the patter/a on lois finge,r-tips. The chatmee are billions to one against two men's hands showing the. same arrange- ments of veins. The photograph is taken after the hand has been al- lowed to dangle down for a minute or two, ea that the rush of blood may make the network of veins etand out prominently. One scien- tist has suggested binding the wrist with a tight bandage for the wane purpose. The advantage over the finger- print system is that no, one can at- tempt to alter the arrangement of the veins without running great danger of bleeding to death. •1***"*./011.400.11,4116,11.116,16 , , Good Canning, ,• How Often JO, you he,ar the coin - that the squash or beans you, took se much trouble to) ,can have a. little bitter taste from the presen', 'ilia acid you used) 'It cle,,s not af- fect corn ,or -tomatoes 1:1 this way, but does almost every other' vege,' table.
