Some caverns were 500 to 1,000 feet in length, and you can imagine how unpleasant it was to go inside without light. Bonfires could be lighted in the caves, but that meant smoke, smoke, smoke! There were no windows or chimneys by which to let it out. you have ever stayed in a smoky room you will realize how unpleas- ant it must have been for Cave peo- ple to let bonfires burn within their homes. Only near the entrance could fires be built with comfort. Many paintings and engravings were made hundreds of feet from cave entrances. How could light have been supplied for the artists® There were two ways. First, the torch was invented. The earHest torches were burning sticks, which sputtered and smoked and gave little light. You may have noticed that fat meat will burn if you let it get started, This was found out by Cave people when they roasted the flesh of anim- als over open fires. ond of a stick and carrying it into the cave. Such fat torches gave fairly good ple were now able to get around in caves without stumbling so often as before, Yet there was a big drawback to this torch.

Punxsutawney, Pa., May 5.--The {Marathon dishwashing record of the spectacles and the compass, but yes- 'world was claimed yesterday by Miss iterday the international police chiefs' convention learned a new method of communication from Wang Gu Pang, the chief incpector of Kiangsu, China. Commissioner Enright, of New York, liked it so much that ha asked Inspector Joseph Faurot, of tho new detective school to talk it over with Mr. Wang and adopt it for use in this city. The system consists of movements of the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and hands, which form a code that en- ables two detectives to communicate during the examination of a prison- er, in the midst of a mob, or at othe: times when secret police communi- cation may be valuable. Mr. Wang has proved to be one of the most up-to-date officials in the conference, for he uses moving pictures for in- structing detectives in a way which surpasses the western method. After be had explained his system of sig- nals it was suggested that the code he used be translated into English end foreign languages and sent to all police departments of the world for use in handling difficult situa- tions. A new system of fingerpring identi- fication was explained by Hakon Jorgensen, director of the Copen- hagen police, as a means of trapping international criminals. Mr. Jorgen- {sen has devised a code screen, which when placed over a fingerprint will enable an expert to translate a print into figures than can be cabled all {transmitted by means fiom a key chart of the print, and over the world. The prints are of numbers are so earefully worked out that it would be possible for.the police of any city to get the finger prints of a foreign criminal identified within a few sours of the time when they have been discovered at the scene of la orime.
