I, as a detective, have recently worked up an entirely new method of procedure in criminal cases, the sense of smell. True, dogs have track ed persons by this sense, but they have not, so far as I know, distinguish ed between individuals. My attention had been drawn to the matter by reading the following: "Every human being has a .specific odor of his own, by which he can be recognized by persons of sensitive smelL The case is mentioned of a man who, blindfolded, could pick out each individual In a company of twen ty by his odor. The uracil is not born with us. but develop gradually till about the age of fourteen, after which It remains unchanged Members of a family have n kind of common odor, which exists even when they have lived apart for a long time." I cut out what I had read and put it In my pocketbook. where It remained for some time. Being a detective it oc curred to mo that here was a new Ueld of criminal demonstration that had never even been opened. I con sulted with physiologists about reduc ing tho Idea to practice, but gained nothing of real value from any of them. Fluallv accident put me In a way to make tho Drst step. 1 was called in on tho following case: In 18G2 Kdward Nolan, a man with o wife and two children, went to tho civil war. After one of those bat tles in which a large number of uni dentified bodies were shoveled Into trenches or burled under headstones marked "Unknown" the soldier, Ed ward Nolan, disappeared. His name was reported among the killed, and no doubt was entertained that he was dead. Since no one was found who could vouch for his death his widow declined to marry again for some years after his supposed death. Nolan's father during tho war made a great deal of money in army con tracts. He died without will and without Issue, and the fortune by tho law of Inheritance descended to his two children, both boys and both mi nors. Ten years after tho battle in which Nolan was understood to have been killed his widow married again. ner husband, Thomas Chadwlck, took tho management of tho estato belong ing to the Nolan boys and did what ho liked with it. Then Mrs. Chad wlck died. Ono day n man appeared who claim ed to be the departed Nolan. If be were what he claimed to bo the prop erty his father had left belonged to him. Ono of his boys had died. The other was In dellcato health and loft the management of the property in his stepfather's hands, where it had been since tho death of Nolan senior. Chadwlck was thrown Into nn uncom fortable state of mind, for if Nolan could establish his claim to tho prop erty Chadwlck must not only give up Its management, but render an ac counting. Slnco he was unable to ac count satisfactorily, he would be In trouble. Nolan put his case that is, collect ing proof of his Identity in my hands. Ho refused to stato why ho had not shown up before, but I inferred that another woman than his wife was the cause. The only point of law Involv ed was his identity with tho son of the Nolan who died leaving a fortune. As is usual in such cases, those who know anything about the real younger Nolan stood on opposite sides of the question. Nolan's letters, written when he was a young man, wero pro duced and compared with his hand writing at the time of his reappear ance. Some experts pronounced them to have been written by tho same per son, while others said they had not. Pictures taken when he was a boy wero compared with his face, but there was Httlo resemblance, though it was admitted that they might havo been Nolan's likeness. I failed to find any proof that the man was Nolan. Had he accounted for himself from the day of tho battle tho difficulty might havo been over come. As It was, I sow no way to establish his claim. Ono day a man camo to mo an5 said: "I understand a man has turned up claiming to be Ned Nolan, who went to the war and was killed at the bat tle of Gettysburg. I knew Nolnn well, and I can tell If this man is ho with out looking at him. Nolan, had a murky smell to him. I onco took up his hat and noticed the odor In the lining. It was quite strong. Any one could smell it" I selected n dozen men and 'inn them up. placing Nolan the ninth trot ono end, the third from the ctb"i Then I blindfolded Mathews, tho . i, who said he could identify Idm, i i Introduced him Into the line. Ho pi his face up against the bodies of cU'l ' men successively without a pause, b' as soon as be came to the ninth, tU claimant, ho said, "Glvo mo yur hat. Tho man took off his hat and placed it In Mathew's hands. He smellcd it and said: "nello, Nedl Where you been nil this time?" The odor in the hat lining, where perspiration had lodged, was very evi dent to mo and others. This case may be plainer than oth ers, but 1 believe that overy person has his smell and tho day will come when criminals will be detected by it Nolan came by his own. or, at least, all that was left. SECRET EXPERIMENTS OP WltlGHT BROTHERS So many extravagant stories have been printed concerning tho Interest ing experiments with a new slider. which tho Wright brothers have been making of late at Kill Dovll Hills, N. C, that Popular Mechanics Magazine sent an acknowledged authority on aviation to North Carolina to write an accurate and complete description of the machine and of results secur ed, together with an expert analysis of tho technical significance of tho work. This article nrofusolv illus trated appears In tho December num ber of the Magazine. It states: " To thoso who were so fortunate as to see the nights with the glider, even to the technical' experts who have some Idea how they are accom plished, It was nevertheless little short of miraculous to observe tho Wright structure of wood, wlro and canvas, apparently under the abso lute control of the operator, with no visible source of power, perform Its amazing feats. To see It poise It self for seconds, even minutes, at a time, apparently in dellance of tho law of gravitation, then advance steadily Into tho, teeth of a driving gale, whlc'h by all that seemed rea sonable, should havo driven It back ward again, finally to see It lose ground, back up, and settle with hardly a tremor, at tho starting point, iad all the seeming of some thing miraculous. "At other times in the course of the trials, a most pretty sight was the extreme manipulation of the wing warping to balanco the frail craft as it hung suspended In the Invisible medium that so securely supported It. And, again, there were graceful, swooping maneuvers and hair-rais- by tho survoy, that in splto of tho long familiarity of manufacturers and Industrial men in general with most of these rivers, tho water re sources they afford havo not yet been appreciated and by no means de veloped to their fullest extent. In fact, there are very few rivers In this great region In which tho de velopments of water power have come anywhere near tho -maximum possible degree of usefulness. Tho report mentioned, Water Supply Paper 261, contains flow rec ords during tho year 1909 of tho principal rivers in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva nia and Maryland which empty Into tho Atlantic Ocean. Beginning with the records of the St. John River basin, In tho State of Maine, tho report takes up succes sively all the principal streams and many of their important tributaries along the coast as far south as the Rappahannock Dasin, In Virginia. Among tho records of Interest Is that on Connecticut River at Oxford, N. H., covering the years 1907 to 1910. It shows that the highest discharge for tho three-year period occurred on April 16, 1909, when the river flowed 49,700 cubic feet per second. Tho highest dischargo In the year 1908 was 36,700 cubic feet per second, on April 30; tho maximum flow for the year 1907 was 40,600 cubic feet per second, on May 3. Tho record further shows that the lowest water was recorded In the year 1908 when, on September 28, only 288 cubic feet 'per second of water passed tho Oxford station. During that year the flow exceeded 1,000 cubic feet per second In September and October only one day, and during this two months' low-water period tho aver- CASTOR 1 A JFor Infants and Cliildron.

It is a well understood effect of sloping ground that it upwardly deflects wind flow ing over it ro oven greater. Potomac River, for example, has during the penou in winca its now has been ob served by the Geological Survey pro duced a flood flow 470 times greater than that of low water.

At times, when vestment unprofitable, the balanco between the normal glid- ing speed of the machine and tho velocity of the wind happened to bo just right, tho aoroplane would poise itself in a maintained position over the ground, Yvithout advancing or receding. On the occasion it thus 'hovered for about ten minutes. At other times it would rise or fall without horizontal displacement, and then again it would drift back or glide ahead, as fluctuations In the wind facilitated these maneuvers. At all times it exhibited the posltlve ness and certainty of control, for steering, balancing, and Inndihg, which is a feature of tho Wright power machines and, Indeed, of many others. Yet that tho perform ance Yvas not as wholly new as It has been heralded except In tho degree of Its accomplishment Is attested In the Wrights' own reports of their first gliding experiments, communi cated to the Smithsonian Institute and to the Western Society of Engin eers, in which here Is mention" of brief hovering and gain of height in winds 'blowing up sloping ground."
