THE NIHIL1srs NEW CIPHER
Explanation or n Kind of Secret Cor-
rcspondenee which IL Absolutely

Explanation or n Kind of Secret Cor
r~cspondenes which IL Absolutely
SAFE.
Chicago Timesl
The Nihilists haye just hit upon a new and
formidable cipher, much TO tho mystihcation
and alaru. OF the -secret correspondence" de-
partment of the third section. Outwardly
the device seems tho simplest imaginable-a
harmless row, or series OF rows, of single and
double figures, separated from each other by
dots, and promising easy resolution into tho
letters of which they stand in the place. A
closer examination, however, soon shows the
uselessnsss Of all ordinary methods OF cipher
reading. The numbers often go much higher
than tho thirty six letters of the Russian
alphabet. This makes it clear that there has
been no simple substitution OF figures for let
tsrs. The same numbers frequently recur,
occasionally in sequences of three and four.
This shows that the cipher is not con-
sistent with i~tself-that a figure means one
thing in one part OF a phrase and another
thing in another-and that, therefore, no clew
can be had TO the secret message by simply
"divining" certain letters, vowels, for ex-
ample, from their frequency OF recurrence.
The following example illustrates the task
upon which the decipherers of tho third sec
ton are now engaged In examining the new
Nihilistic correspondence. For convenience
the cipher Is supposed to be In English A
message to St Petersburg from the provinces,
for instance, might run thus: ~ ID 10 Q 3s 43
so 70 20 "a 81 SO Al 80 10 2s II IL 9. As 50
ID % IL % % 40 40 % Is z IL 81 This SEN
tence really consists of two-the message
itself and a key-word previously agreed upon
between the sender and receiver. The letters
OF the alphabet contained in each are re-
placed by figures, a being l, b Q, c c,
and so on to the end. The numbers as
they appear above are obtained by the fig
ures OF the key word being continuously
added to the figures representing the mes
sage. "Snn' beng the key word, for exam
pie, the number 10, 81, IA, representing the
letters SUN, would be added IN the sequence
given to the first three numbers in the mes
sage, and in the same way TO every succeed.
ing three to the end In the example the key
word is "liberty," and, by subtracting the
numbers Which correspond TO this word
namely, IL, 9, 2. 8, IL, 20, 25-for the com
bined figures Of the message and word con-
tinuing the process until the end Is reached,
the real message will be disclosed in the forrn,
-Send twenty-five pounds OF dynamite to
Kieh." In this sentence no fewer than
twenty-ssven letters are repeated from ono
up to three times, yet in the numbers there
are only two cases where repetition of figures
corresponds with repetition OF letters, @f' ap-
pearing twice as IL and IN" twice as SO.

The sestbound train between Green river
and Granger, on the Union Pacific, recently
encountered a flock of 1900 or 1900 ante
lopes. The snow was quite deep and drifted
In places, and the antelopes were running on
the road bed, finding hal the easiest road to
travel In When they were first encountered
many OF them were killed, and the engineer,
seeing that the train might be derailed un.
less it was slowed up, decreased the speed.
Tho antelopes kept n short distance ahead OF
the engine, and were strung along the road
for a quarter OF u mile. They would 90
ca~sionally get some distance from the engine
and then they would stop, turn around and
watch the headlight until the engine wa,

which gave to every purchaser a full

this class of medicines is from 10 to 25

Messrs. Hood & Co. took a new depart

they gave the unprecedented quantity
of 100 doses for 81. These facts COM
