At tlio ichonl season advance, the
ubjpct of mental overpreiwnre becomea
important ennn.uli not only for parental

nninber anil nature of the studies, and
especially the length of the retiutions,
are featurei which ought not to be over
Joolied or be left to the direction of edn
eutora. Tliat much cat be gained by
experimental itwly of overpressure, is

The exhibition of the Photographic So
ciety of Great Britain is of great inter
est, both from the artistic and the scien
tific point of view. Dr. P. Jeserich, n
German, has devoted his nUctitiou to
the development of photography as a
means of assisting the administration of
the law. The screen which cautains Dr.
Jeserich's plates is one of the chief curi
osities of the exhibition. He has shown,
by enlarging photographs taken upon
sensitized plates, that it is possible to
detect certain kinds of forgery in the
Biost unimpeachable way; for example,
where a figure or a word has beeu al
teredand this Is one of the commonest
kinds of forgery the different inks em
ployed appear in tho plate iu quite dif
ferent colors.
Similarly, where a name has first been
written in jumcil and then traced over in
Ink, however carefully the pencil marks
cave been erased, some faint traces of
t e plumbago are sine to remain in tli9
Interstices of the paper, and these ure
revealed in the magnified photogiaph.
Dr. Jeserich's photographs of hair and
of pure and impure blood, before and
after treatment with reducing ngents,
re also most curious, and several stories
are told of the uso that has been made
ct them in murder trials in Germany.

thought he was trying to have a regatta
