M. BERTILLON'S NEW METHOD OF DESCRIPTIVE PORTRAITS.. . . What, you say?

It is interesting to note an article on modern forensics shares space in an issue of the Strand dated 1904 with a Sherlock Holmes story.

Detective at School.



Again, you may have to scroll down a bit to find it.

Enjoy.

The size of the world's great cities.

While reading my summer reading list in Project Gutenberg I came across this interesting piece, in the Strand Magazine dated 1904
"The Size of the World's Great Cities"

You may have to scroll down a few stories to find it.




















This wonderful illustration is also in that issue.
