NEW WAY TO DETECT CRIMINALS
French Detective Invents Two
Sciences to Do Work.
Poroscopy and Graphomctry Promise
to Make Way of Transgressor
Harder Than It Is.
Paris. Poroscopy and grapheme
try nre two new "sciences" Intended
to make tho way of tho Transgressor
harder than It Is. Poroscopy Is tho
science of measuring tlTo pores of the
body. Urniihometry Is tho science of
form nnd relative proportion of let
ters In handwriting.
Dr. Edmund I.ocard, head of tho
Lyons police laboratory of Identifi
cation, has c orated theso new meth
ods of crime ctlon to n point where
tho results June been accepted In the
Lyons courts and are said to have been
proved effective.
In poroscopy, Doctor Locard holds
ported In thnt western district of Mo
rocco. Tho Spaniards, however, sent an
other expedition under tilt! command
of General Sllvcstrc, who established
a base at MelUla, midway on n prom
ontory which extends from tho east
ern end of the Spanish zone north
ward Into the Mediterranean. From
that point, General Sllvestre's troops
attempted to penetrate southward Into
the Interior. Karly successes were
reported, but last spring the Span
lards encountered strong native troops
and hostile tribesmen, estimated to
number 120,000 and mild to bo well
armed and equipped with artillery.
The piescnt reverses of the Spanish
forces had their beginning early In

memorato the founding of the clt.v
February 10, 17(M, with the suggestion
that tho central figure by Itene An
gusto Chouteau, surrounded by a group
of pioneers, Including Laclede, has re
opened tho old question ns to who
was the actual founder of this city.
Chouteau has been regardejl by
many historians as Laclede's lieuten

on Chouteau's tomb, showing the date
of his birth at WO, recut. Records
show that If the dnto were correct,
Chouteau's mother was only seven years

Doctor Locard tells of several suc
cessful prosecutions supported by his
new sciences. In one case a burglar
wore gloves, but left an Impression of
n small surface of 'oreurm. That
trace convicted him. Another burglar,
perspiring freely, left tho Impression
of pore surfaces through his glove
and went to Jail.
