Finger prints are also used in the making of wills, so that while the
signature of the testator may be contested, it is almost impossible
to contest the signature of the fingers, for so long as the skin of
the fingers of the dead person can be taken up, just so long can the
finger print impression be obtained to verify the living imprint.
It is only a question of time before all large transportation
companies, like express and railways, whose employes handle packages
of money or other valuables, will be required to place their finger
prints on file, so that when money or valuables are missing the cover
of the package will indicate who handled or tampered with it.
