The System Devised by Bertillon and the Way It la Worked. ' Any malefactor who gets Into the clutches of the law nowadays ' Is a marked man for life, If be runs up against the Bertillon system, which Is scientific method devised by SI. V1 phonse Bertillon for the IdeuWIcatlon of criminals. Bertillon was bora lu Paris in 18KI. Certain measurements are taken from every convicted per son, and these physical records of pris oners are kept on cards, any one of which can readily be found by an elab orate system of classification. The measurements are taken on the left side of the subject, as they are less liable to alterations than are those on the right side. The determination of i the convict's height Is taken always at ilio samo hours, because the stature may be as much us half an Inch great er after a night's sleep than It Is In the evening. The color of the Iris of the eye and the characteristic lines made by the print of the finger are also re corded. - The following measurements are made: The length and width of head; the, length of the left foot nnd of the mlddlo and little Angora of the left band; the stature of the whole ljod.v.r as well os the length of Its upper nnd lower portions; the spun of the out stretched arms; the length and breadth of the left car and the length of the left arm. i The system has been used In Paris since 1880 and Is now employed by all Important police departments in this country.
