Show Scientific Sherlock The Post Office department was faced with a mystery In the continual rifling of registered letters In the Southwest The theft was narrowed down to one of six post offices, but the question as to which one was hard to solve. A few weeks later an Inspector took one of the letters that had been rifled and resealed, held It to his nose and calmly announced that the thief would be taken within a week. He was. The Inspector had prepared six lots of mucilage, each having a different differ-ent perfume. This was distributed among the six offices under suspicion. The thief used the perfumed mucilage to reseal the letter and gave away the location of the office. The rest was easy. |
