For we know our missing father
Is removed to heaven above.

swept by a terrible wind and rain
storm last evening, causing the loss
of a number of lives, aud the de
struction of much property. Tele
graphic communication is prostrated

euage they chance TO be. In selecting the
list of cipher words, the endeavor was
made 20 choose those especially in Eng
lish. which were nos common, in their lit
eral sense IN commercial circles. The
danger of having such words as "Ad-
vance" Decline. - Price etc. would
be that they would be likely TO be taken
occasionally In their real meanings, and
thus cause confusion But "Lolipop' and
"Busybody." for instance are used be-
cause there would be no danger of their
being regarded as anything else than CT
piers.
Concerning the length of the words, the
only point to be looked after is that they
snail not exceed ten letters, because for
word of over that number the cable COM
panies charge double rates. In the lie
viathan' code care has been taken that
the words may not resemble one another
too closely a dissmilarity of at least two
letters being required As one more ex
ample Of the way in which il has been at
tempted to provide for every possible
kind OF communication. the word Per
reXr' may be quoted. it stands for the
following sentence: eff you cannot Sc
cure good rooms by that steamer, wire
me the earliest by which you can. Adj
dress me al 1872 III this case the sender
of the dispatch would merely have 10
subjoin his address, and the message
would read: "PerreXn, 800 Broadway, N.
"" or in some such form. Words are
sometimes used Intentionally in their lit
eral meanings in the dispatches, in con-
binatiOn with the ciphers, but when this
is done the context is always clear enough
to prevent any misunderstanding. 1t
might be thought that names would al
ways have to be spelled out in their ac-
tual form. but cipher words have been
provided not only for the names of many
places but also for the titles of numbers
of the best known commercial firms. The
latter in many cases are private ciphers,
because each business house has dealings
with different set of firms from any
other.
