CIPHER TYPEWRITlNG.

How the Machine MAY BE Easily Adapted
for Secret Correspondence.
A correspondent of LIE Genie Civil
makes a curious suggestion in regard
to the possible uses of the typewriter
in cipher writing. It is well known
that q favorite form of secret cor
respondence consists in substituting
certain letters for others, each party
having the key by which he can re
place the substituted ones by those in.

writer can readily be used for cipher
writing by simply Transporting the
types on the type bars, SO that, for ex.
ample, the touching of the key marked
A will print C, B will print R. and Sc
on.
After one instrument has been sc
transposed the other is to be CORE
spondingly re-arranged, SO that tn,
key c will print A, the key r will print
b, and So on. Then X, the correspond

The machine, retransposing the letters
automatically. will at once give an &C.
curate translation, while KS reply,
written on the same typewriter which
translated VS. original dispatch, will
form an unintelligible string of letters.
which, by copying on Y's typewriter,
will be in its turn translated.
The advantages of a cipher CORE
spondence of this kind are that the
parties use different. although recipro-
cal, ciphcrs, and comparison of dis
patches captured from each will give
little clew to the meaning of either.
Moreover, it would not be very difficult
with some typewriters which have two
space keys to make the space keys
operate types, SO that the document
would be an uninterrupted string of
letters. Such writing is very difficult
to decipher. from the impossibility OF
telling where the words begin or end;
yet the corresponding instrument, by
mere copying. would translate it per.

good. Real friends are the choicest of
all possessions, not only for the super

cause of the reflex influence which true
affection exerts on its object as on the

THE WRAPPER.

Some of the Latest Conceits and Eccen.
tricities Described.
A cosey dressing gown is of pale blue
flannel, a woollen web with a soft silk
warp. simply fastened about the waist
with cord and heavy tassels of black.
Over the sleeves are full caps embroid-
cred in a point about the edge with
black, and above this three rows of
feather stitching, one above the other,
and each extending up with the sleeve
at the point where the scallops join to-
gether. Around the neck there is
ruf1c of flannel embroidered and feather
stitched in the same way, with frills
little way down the front to the
girdle.
More dainty still are the pure white
flannel gowns, with all the pretty
stitchings done in pale blue or pink or
heliotrope. Sometimes the edges of
the sleeves are scalloped, and
single line of feather stitching
follows the outline of the scallop
one or two inches above the edge.
In the space between, French knots
are dotted or tiny flower sprays are
worked at intervals. Or the scallop
may be omitted for a band of Russian
needlework, which is simply pattern
in the old-fashioned cross-stitch en-
broidery that our grandmothers
wrought on sampler and that our
mothers counted out on Java canvas
And this pattern is to be done in black
or a mixture of the old blues and reds
seen in Holbein work, if it would
really be artistic and according to the
Russian idea. A very attractive and
serviceable gown of this kind is made
in red wool with an embroidery of
black. Less elaborate, but equally
cosey are the bath robes of elder down
wool simply bound with ribbon, which
may be made to do duty as dressing
gown to lounge in. These are simple,
straight princess garments, with little
attempt at style or fit. They are cut
much on the lines of gentleman's
dressing gown, double breasted. and
with large loose sleeves, and are fas-
tened about the waist with a cord or
girdle of worsted galoon--N. Y. Sun.
