Show REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME Overwhelming Proof That Fingerprints Finger-prints Undergo No Change During Dur-ing Lifetime of Individual. The finger print is a scientific method of Identification. A movement Is afoot in Michigan for a state-wide registration registra-tion system under which every one would be finger-printed. It is also planned by the government to establish a central bureau of Identification with a national registration. It is deduced that prints are more permanent than 1 the body itself, as physiologists tell us that the tissues of the entire body change once in about seven years, but whorls, curves and lines of the papilla always are renewed in conformity con-formity with the lines of childhood. After an attack of scarlet fever the cuticle peeled off of a child's fingers As an experiment prints were made. They were found to be just the same as those made before the sickness. A man chanced to burn his fingers. They were badly blistered. After the blisters broke and the outer layer of the skin came off he made finger-prints each day until the fingers were completely healed. The ridges grew gradually until they made the same sharp prints that they had made before the accident. |
