He mentions the in- vention in France of an instrument called the seoometer, by means of which it is asserted it is possible to tall whether a man or a woman last touched an article. Tins instrument was used in a case in which a maid was accused of theft. 'She denied the charge and accused a man in the house who had equal opportunities for eom- anitbing the crime. The sexometer was called upon and it was proved that certain articles had been last touched by a woman and not by a man. Eater the maid confessed. If there is such a. machine in existence it would obviously aid the forces of detection, for we are unable readily to imagine eases in which any such information would he of value to a criminal. Nor would he be benefitted by an- other invention, also the work of a Frenchman, Dr. Locard, of Lyons. He is said to have invented a •ma- chine that makes Ere writing test absolute and as certain a means of identification as a finger .print. Hand- writing experts have played impor- tant parts in many notable criminal trials, but juries are reluctant to convict on their evidence alone be- cause they have been known to make grevious mistakes. Moreover, they are often found upon opposite sides, and it is not for layment to under- take to pass on their relative merits. But the Locard macluine measures handwriting so delicately, treats the angular inclinations, the interrup- tions and curves se precisely as to defy the skill. of the accused forger or anonymous letter writer to de- ceive it. The inventor says, "The number of times a pen is lifted from the :paper during phrases ale a feature thitherto overlooked. Even trained forgers are unable to overcome the tendency to hesitate whenever the pen assumes certain positions in relation to the paper." 'Since the war, smuggling has been raised to a high art and is a crime, especially on this continent, more prevalent than ever before. The smugglers are highly organized, and have vast resources behind them. They have the fastest motor -boats that can be built, are equipped with radio out- fits and make a yearly (profit of mil- lions of dollars in smuggling liquor into the United States. It cannot be said that the authorities are coping with them. Indeed it is admitted that their operations are growing larger. Yet the police have found one useful weapon to employ in certain cases, and that is the X-ray. Not long ago a steamer entered New York harbor, loaded with bales of hay. These bales were examined with the usual probe, and same of them were found to con- tain liquor. To save the tremendous work involved in opening and tying up again every bale of hay an X-ray ma- ohine was used and the, work greatly expedited. Last summer a shoplifting case was settled by the X-ray. A woman arrested for stealing rings consented to be X-rayed and the jewels were revealed in her stomach. The X-ray machine found a tremendous lot of rubber, hidden a cargo of cotton and destined for Germany in the war. The police in a north of England town recovered a great hoard of stolen jewellry hidden in a brick chimney by using the X-ray. In former days it would have been necessary to tear down the house to have disclosed the Chidden place Another ingenious invention is the silent watcher. It is designed some- thing on the tprineiple of a seismo- graph and will tell. whether any given room in which it is placed has been entered and at wharf moment. It• is possible to attach to the silent watcher a tiny camera which it will operate and thus take a series of photographs of whatever happens to be within its line of vesion. This instrument led to theo,arrest of a dishonest bank cashier in Des Moines. It took photographs of him in the action of opening the safe and making false entries in the books. It is said that he was se dumbfounded when confronted with the photographs that he lost the power of speech for several days. An instrument that records emotions has been of value to police in many cases, and was first used to reveal themurderer of Father Patrick Heslin, of Los Angeles. Hightower, the suspected man, was taken to a labratory and the instrument was rattached. He was then questioned by the deteotives, and though he answered without visible emotion and with great care and deliberation, the instrument showed clearly that certain questions greatly excited or frightened Odin. Others left him unmoved. Thus the detectives were given valuable clues and eventually he was convict- ed. FUTURE OF RUSSIA IN MUJIK'S HAND In a Mercure de France article, translated from the Russian of Alex- ander Xuprin, are moving traces of the uncertainty, the divided senti- ments, the longing for home of the exiles from Russia. He says that public opinion among them is a regu- lar solar spectrum. They hope to return before long. What do they know about present Russia? They axe not well thought of there. They are supposed to be eating of the fat and drinking of the sweet while the Russian people are suffering the se- verest hardships. A little confession is gond for the soul. The future of Russia • is in the hands of the •mmjik. One of the greatest of Russian mis- fortunes is the separation, by an immense gulf, of the people and so- ciety. The once much -heralded eman- cipation of the serf was a fraud, says the New 'York Times. The landed pa+oprie'tora ,kopt the forests, the nick. pastur'ages, all the best of the land.

At dealers or soot postprild. by Fruit's-tivea Limited, Ottawa. Serfdom continued. The serf was merely worse off. There was nobody to feed him. As a free citizen he "had the right to die on hie own prop- erty." The ipo'liec, who had formerly begged of the •proprietor, now began to phage the mujik. He bore the whole burden of taxation and military service. In the fiyst years of the twentiety century he was still subject to flogging. What were his. relations with the fortunate and educated classes? According to Kuprin, not merely hostility and defiance, but act- ual eeorn was roused in the masses by every person of this sort they came in contact with, "official, engin- eer, lawyer, gentleman farmer, sur- veyor, or—above all—Summer vie/t- or." These people and their women folk. with their affectations and ab- surdities, their ridiculous clothea,their everlasting guzzling, their 'bicycles and autos; their inconsequent chatter, their kissing of dogs on the muzzle and ecstasies at the moon and the nightingale --"all these idle and lying people were valueless in the mujik eyes, and their existence seemed to them vain, useless and absolutely un- justifled." Moreover, the upper classes lost the use of the real popular language—"so picturesque, so expressive, so sonor- ous, and at need as supple and con- densed as Lathe." When a mujik talks to a "genleman" from .polite- ness toward his absurdity he imitates it, axaggerates it, plays a comedy, in fact, and so "the mujik and we under- stand each other, less than 'the in- habitants of Mars and those of Sat- urn." So the two "separate halves of the Russian organism" have never blended. The well-bred and the well- educated didn't know what the mujik thought, didn't even know what he paid in exchange for the right to his poor life, , • "And yet even our spiritual bread came from the ,mujik. Our first painters and aitchitects were peasants. Our first travellers, colonizers, Polar explorers, came from the people. The Russian theatre and ballet owe their origin to serfs. Those writers who are our pride, our justification, our ornament, are those who had the ill - fortune and the good fortune of entering into direct contact with the peaple. Our music charms Western connoisseurs only when it flows from popular sources." In the 'Os and '70s an attempt was made by the intellectuals to under- stand the mujik„but he was still und- erstood. The Slavophil propagand- ists and Populists made up their minds over night that he was a "pearl of conscientiousness and wisdom.” Then came that renowned and comic "going to the people." Student prophets in .'their twenties, venerable in false. beards, their caftans belted the wrong way, "preached to the people its rights and its liberties in a language borrowed from the city carbarets and stalls. No wonder that at the end of five minutes their hands were bound behind their :backs and they were hal- ed to the ,police station."

The new beginner at farming, who, in many cases, is among the most de- termined to seize every opportunity for making the, last cent out' of his efforts, is given to wonder why the establia'hed farmer does not in every case raise and plant :his own' seeds, and thereby save for 'himself the pro- fits that goes to those who handle seeds as a business. 'There are, he will find, many good reasons for :the existence of seed firms that are specialists in the collection and dis- tribution of farm. and garden seeds :generally, among the reasons being the following: Any one farmer's fields may be foul with noxious weeds, which, although permitting the production of a com- mercial crop of grain, fodder, or the like, prevent profitable production of material for seed purposes. Soil, climate and natural conditions in one locality may favor the production of, for instance, hay, grain, roots or en- silage corn, and at the same time be quite unsuited to the developement of the plants up to the seed stage. Such is not often the case with roots, but, in the case of, mets, seed production is somewhat of a specialized under- taking and requires experience out- side of that acquired in ordinary farm- ing. The farmer who specializes in production of feed for stock, grain for milling or other commercial purposes, in 'production of vegetables for mar- ket, or in fruit growing, may not have the facilities for cleaning seed, or for growing 'nursery stock, nor 'would the be likely to find it profit- able to install such facilities for his limited requirements. Any farmer in any year :mey re- quire seed of some crop such as he has not grown for several years past. In such case, he would have to forego the contemplate change from his regular practice or be compelled to accept seed from some source that was anything but dependable as re- gards purity, germinating possibili- ties or variety of the seed required, were it not for the existence of spec- ialists in the seed supply business. THESE AUTOS USE OPEN-AIR BATHTUB. The newest thing in the way of an automobile 'laundry is the open-air bath -tub. An American firm has patented a wash bowl for autos, and proposes to establish them through- out the United States. The first of the species was opened in St. Paul, Minn., on April 30th, the Mayor of the officiating. With the ramps and the entrances to the' 'bowl, the original wash bowl occupies two full city lots. I•t is built in the solid rock on. which St. Paul stands. The bowl is concrete, 51 feet long and 63 feet wide, and the water varies in depth from 6 to 47 inches, toward the centre. Colored numbers hung overhead give the size of automobile wheel depth, 30 inches in blue, 32 inches in white, and 34 inches in red. Twenty -,five cents is charged for bathing the car. The driver ciroles the bowls as many times as he thinks necessary to wash the mud from his running gear. The car enters by a right hand Tamp and leaves at the left. At the leaving point the ear is sprayed with forced water. If a paliisri and wipe is desired the charge is 50 cents. An electric dryer finishes up the ordinary ear. A concrete platform, sixty feet by eighty, leads to the ramps that reach the bowl. The bawl can accommodate 75 to 100 cars an hour, and six cars may occupy the bowl at one time, running twenty miles per hour. The silt from dile wheels shifts to the centre of the 'bawl .and the spray water running into the bowl keeps the water pure. The bowl is emptied nightly Entertaining :a Gent from 'Frisco. 1 —Frank iKipp Was showing a etrang- f er from San Francisco around the city in a thigh -powered car, and when pointing out the Auditorium, Frank said: "That's our big auditorium, and ! .toe Greib built the whole thing In ' six months."
