The grafters of America, who they are and how they work . htin lightly against the toe. Care is taken as before t&check the reading. In measuring the left little and middle fingers, the backof the caliper rule is used, two small projections beingprovided on the fixed and sliding arms. The finger to bemeasured is bent at right angles to the back of the hand,and the measurement is taken from the finger to theknuckle. The cubit measurement is taken from the elbow to thetip of the middle finger. The forearms and hand areplaced, with the palm of the hand downwards, upon thesurface of the trestle on which is a caliper rule \ the edgesof the table, the axis of the forearm and the hand, andthe graduated stem of the ruler all being parallel. Theelbow is placed against the fixed arm of the rule, and theloose arm is then brought up to the middle finger aridthe measurement read off on the scale. The measurement of the right ear is taken with acaliper rule, which has a flat fixed branch which issteadied by pressing it against the head, and is brought. 410 THE ADVENTURES AND WORK down until it grazes the upper border of the ear. Thestem is held parallel with the axis of the ear, and theloose arm is pushed up until it just reaches the lobe ofthe ear. It will be apparent to the reader from this descriptionthat this system will give a series of very accurate meas-urements. As each one is read off it is written down ona printed card. The measurements being all taken, the next analysesare the features of the face. As these are liable to changefrom age or disfigurement, no measurements are taken,but instead, an elaborate exhaustive description is the nose as an example, the profile of the bridgemay be rectilinear, convex or concave, and the term sinu-ous might be aplied to qualify each of the above descrip-tions. Thus a nose might be convex sinuous, that is,might be generally convex and also somewhat undulatinrin contour. Then again each of these types might varyso far as
