The exhibition of the Phntnjjraphie So--ciety
of Great Britain is of great inter
"st, both from the artistic and the scien
tific point of view. Dr. P. Jeserich, a
4Jermnn, has devoted his attention to
the development of photography as a
'means of anitinting the administration of
the law. The screen which cantatas' Dr.
Jewrich's plates is one of the chief curi--sities
of the exhibition. lie has shown,
tj enlarjring photographs taken npoa
enidtized plates, that it is possible to
detect certain kinds of forgery in the
unost unimpeac hable way; for example,
where a figure or a word has been al
"tered and this is one of the commonest
kinds of forgery the different inks em
.ployed appear in the plate in quite dif
ferent colors.
Similarly, where a name has first been
written in pencil and then traced over in
ink, however caref till jr the pencil marks
Lave been eraied, some faint traces of
t e plntnbngo are sine to remain in the
Interstices of the paper, and these are
revealed in the magnified photograph.
Dr. Jeserich's photographs of hair and
of pure and impure blood, before and
after treatment with reducing nenti.
re also tuont curious, and several stories
are told of the nse that has been mode
of thern in murder trials in Germany.

Though badly wounded the animal made
a ruh at the men, and in the excitement
fioswell got a cartridge jammed ia hu
jrun. Before Schiefftlin could reload, the
bear was upon them and knocked tbtui
'down, one after the other, with a blow
from its paw. Boswell tried to get to
his feet, but the bear seized him by the
if and crushed it from the knee down.
The animal then ran away, but returned
-about ten minutes later, when 8cliie3e

shot it. The two men got back to the
schooner and the captain made sail for

there and then Knrgeon Berry Hill, of
