A CURIOUS list might be made OF the
strange methods employed in trans
hitting many important historical
messages. The intelligence which en-
abled Cyrus to overthrow the Median
Monarchy was conveyed in the body
OF a hare sent him as a present. The
instigaior Of the lonian revolt against
Persia sent his agent a trusty slave,
with verbal order to shave his head,
when the necessary instructions APP
peared traced on the skin beneath.
During Mohammed's wars letters Of
this kind were frequently plated in
the long hair Of female slaves. The
medieval fashion of writing in. ink
which only became visible when held
to the fire is well known; but Cardi-
nal Richeieu surpassed even this by
his device Of dispatch whose alter
nate lines made an entirely different
sense from that of the letter as a
whole One of the French chiefs of
the Fronde war concealed an impor-
tant letter iii roasted crab. War
rem Hastings, when blockaded in
Benaros by Cheyte Singh, appraised
the English Army Of his situation by
dispatches written upon rolled mp
slips Of parchment, which his messen-
gers carried in their ears, instead of
the quilts usually worn there. The
letter which recalled Gen. Kaufman
to the reliefof Samarcard, when be-
sieged by the Bokhariotes in June,
1868, was stitched up in the sandal of
a loyal native. 1t is even stated
though the story certainly savors of a
nnnchauscnsm-that a French spy,
n 1870, carried photographic dis.
patch through the German lines in the
hollow d one Of his false teeth.
