u degree of uniformity higher than l had
expected TO find, and high enough to esta-
blish that it was the result of the grouping
being dependent on plan.
had thus determined that the divisions
were not arbitrary, and that the characters
used did not singly represent letters; by
inference, therefore, as they must be held
to mean something, that in groups they
represented letters or words.
| now went over the groups Of figures
after the dots, and found that they ranged
from to ll2. Dividing the numbers be-
tween these points equally at 6G, found,
discarding repeti,ions, that up to that
number there were q; above it, %. With
the light had now got, all converging on
one point, l should, in q long specimen,
have expected far more exact proportion !;
it was one of my difficulties that had to
deal with SO short piece Of writing The
proportion. however, was, as in the former
case, sufficient to prove the existence Of a
system. The numbers stopped short At
liz. whereas, in the other groups, they
went rs high as 26S; the two systems, reg
ulating the groups before and after the dots,
were therefore different 1t did not abso-
lutely follow that they depended one on the
other, but the bracketing rendered it highly
probable that they did. l considered my
self justified in assuming that each brack-
cted groupe represented letter or word.
So far, the conclusions at which had
arrived had been almost forced upon me.
There was now. however, less certainty in
my progress. My examination Of the
cipher had, nevertheless, shown me in what
direction the probabilities lay They poin-
ted 10 conclusion which might we'll have
made Chr Waitzen tremhle for the success
Of my attempt. The first instructive notion
! had formed of the cipher had been con-
firmed by oil had arrived at; it was, that
the numbers referred to book,-the 6rst
group Of figures in each bracket indicated
. page. and the second, . word Or line In
that page.

THE SINGULAR MAN.

There was Young man, yon may think very strange
But sometime or other little dcranYcd;
Aud II 1t be true, thon, MS 1havc been told,
ne was once mere infant, but age made him DID,
His face was the oldest that ever was knosn,
His mouth stood across twixt his and his chin.
And whenever he spoke It was with his voice,
Aud In talking he always made some sort Of noise.
He'd an each side, to when he pie sed,
lie never worked hard, when he lived at his case;
Two legs he had got to make him complete,
But what most strange, at each end was his feet
His :eys. AS folks say, he could u., at hiswill.
And when he was walking, he never stood still;
II You had but him. you'd laugh till you burst,
For one leg or 'tother would always go first.
Another strange thing e'er did meet,
Was when he was hungry he always did cat
He drank when he dry, and then, IT you'd note,
Whatever he drank always went down his throat
n this whimsical fellow had river 20 cross,
If he couldn't get over, he staid where he was
Aud though he ne'er went off tho dry ground,
30 great was his luck that he nover drown'd
Another strange thing about him I'll tell,
For when he was sick no was al ways unwell;
lie gave deep sigh, then op'ed his mouth wide,
And 50 mellow or other this old fellow died.
But the reason he died. and the cause Of his DEATH
Was simply, ppor soul for the want Of moro breath;
And now lac is loft In the cold earth to moulder,
If no had lived day longer he'd have boon day
older

Now, when Poe. in his remarkable story
Of The Gold Beetle, tells US "that 1t may
well be doubted whether human ingenuity
can construct an enigma Of the kind (he
is speaking of cryptograms), (which hu-
man ingenuity may not, by proper appllca
ton, resolves proposition safe in its
vagueness,-h must be held to speak only
by ciphers which proceed on plan the
very method of which affords a guide 10 its
solution. Taking the cipher in his tale, for
example, each letter being represented by
distinct sign, the frequency Of recurrence
of particular signs leads to their identifi-
cation with certain letters. His remarks
can hardly apply to cases where, the signs
used being purely arbitrary, their solution

plan. In the cipher, the meaning of which

to believe that the signs represented, in an

this view was correct, the cipher did not

to pick out dozens, or even hundreds OF
each letter, SO IS to avoid recurrence of
signs which might afford solution to the
enigma. The repetitions, on the other
hand, were too few to allow of the possibil-
ity Of each sign representing distinct let

conclusion, that the number before the dot
gave the page; was convinced that the
number after the dot represented . line in
each page. The highest Of these numbers
was IL; now. it must be very empty

times IL words. The second number could,
then, hardly refer to the sequence Of words,
it could only represent the line.
Now, what book would one take by pre-
ference for the construction Of a cipher Of
this character? In any ordinary book,
there would be extreme difficulty in finding

indicate more than the line in which the
word, in its alphabetical order, was found !;
with other books, three numbers would be
required-for the page, the line, and the
word, respectively. This confirmed my
suspicion. By fresh examination Of the
cipher, might test this view, and there
