CIPHER DISPATCHES.
Secret Writings That Can Be Read Only
 by Correspondents.

Cipbers in general, for secret writing, are as old as writing itself, or older. The Australian message stick can prob ably be read only by the correspond- ents, if, indeed, by them. Ogham writing looks like a kind of cipher, for the people who employed it knew the Roman alphabet, though, for reasons of their own, they preferred Ogham. The Greeks had an innocent cipher. A piece of parchment was rolled round a stick and written on. When unwound it made nonsense and could be read only when again rolled round stick of the right thickness. A few easy experi- ments would solve the mystery of the sky tale, as it wag called. The strata gem of shaving a slave, tattooing mes- sage on his head, letting his hair grow and sending him on his errand to be shaved again by the correspondent, is mentioned by Herodotus.
 The sky tale is q rude forecast of the grille. The grille is made by writing a letter of an ordinary kind, containing :he necessary words scattered up and down the epistle. A piece of paper is laid on the letter, apertures are cut where the significant words come, the correspondent applies his grille and the hidden message starts up out of the or dinary letter. If the enemy secures the grille, he has the key to the core spondence. Even if he suspects grille. he may analyze the letter till he disen- gages the message. A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette exhibits q device of the Russian captiyes in Siberia. They send an innocent-looking letter, whence their friends extract the esoteric mean ing by observing what characters are detached-do not join on to each other. Such breaks occur, of course, in most "hands of write.' By this method the breaks produce a secret meaning.
 Of all the ciphers the simplest relies merely on giving to one letter or numer- al the value of another. In Poe's Golden Beetle this method is ex- plained and illustrated in the case of Capt. Kidd's ciphered record of his hid- den treasure. Poe challenged man. kind to make cipher which he could net interpret, and he is said never to have been defeated. The predominance of certain letters, as ''e," is the basis of the inquiry. But, as the writer in the Pail Mall Gazette shows, systems may be carried to an extreme of mathe- nautical complexity. None is safe from analysis or discovery.-London News.

SHUTTING OUT THE SEA.
How Eastern Property Owners Waste
 Their Money.


 Along the North Jersey coast from Long Branch to Asbury Park the coast is formed of bluffs and high ground and walls that vii, offer direct resistance to the waves must be constructed to pro- tect them from the waves. These bluffs are being washed away rapidly where not protected by some artificial device and the sand is carried back into the sea, where sandbars are formed with it. Many years ago, when the Jersey seaside resorts first became prominent, efforts were made to protect this shore with heavy timber bulkheads. But each recurring winter these massive tim bers were washed away and good slice of the bluffs was leveled. No matter how heavy and strong this sort of pro- tection is made, the sea is pretty sure to batter it down in time, and the work must be repeated. For 15 years now the property owners have wasted their money in building makeshift timber walls to protect their land from the ocean along many parts of our coast. The same amount of money put in good, strong walls of masonry and con- crete would yield permanent results that would endure for half century, and in time this must be the outcome of the present abortive attempt to keep back the sea. Beside wooden walls, numerous jetties run out into the ocean to break the force of the current, and in this way the damage to the bluffs is somewhat lessened. Nearly every storm of any great fury not only car ries away or demolishes part of the walls, but makes great inroads into the bluffs of sand behind them. A solid stone wall, with sloping faces to the sea, would protect the bluffs SD that private and public property would be secure for all time. The best illustra- lions of this principle of coast defense can be seen in the numerous stone oreakwaters constructed by the gov ernmenf for harbor protection-Lippin- cott's Magazine.

Misses, Evening Frocks.

Youthful evening frocks shown by the dressmakers suggest many pretty ways ot using ribbon as garniture. Fancy ribbons are not so popular as they were a year ago, and plain satin ribbon, contrasting in color or match ing the fourdation--if the frock be of mull or some thin fabric mounted over a colorcd silk--is preferred. Some rib bon trimmings give quaint Vatican effect behind. Over a gown of white null one strip of ribbon starts in q noint from the waist line, is carried un- der the arms, high on to the shoulders, thence to the back, where it makes a souare bow; the ends of the bow are twisted and brought down tightly to the waist line, where they meet the rib- hon ends that form the waistband, and there al, four streamers are knotted to- gether and fall down over the back ot the s,sirt.--N.

the execution, which is always looked upon as being feeble and trifing on ac- count of the smallness of the instru- n,ent. It was not thought possible to derive much pleasure from any attempt which could be made to conquer the difficulties of so limited an instrument; because in the extent of three octavcs there were a number or spaces which could not be filled up by the talent of the player. Besides, the most ample meditation is impossible. Herr Eu- lenstein remedied the inconvenience by joining 16 Jew's-harps, which he tuned in his own special way, and so performed his selection by changing the harps with extreme rapidity, al- ways keeping one harp in advance, so as rot to interrupt the measure. He be- came so proficient that he was able to execute, with grace and ease, running over four octaves, many quite difficult Italian, French and German pieces. He was induced by the duke of Gordon in 1928, who was delighted by his perform ances, to tour in Scotland, where the Jew's-harp is still rather popular. Eu- lenstein also visited the chief towns Of England and drew crowds 10 hear his novel entertainment in London. 1t is presumed that he returned to his own country about 1892 Since then tho Jews-harp seems to have fallen into dis repute and it's position as a serious means of musical enjoyment is no long et admitted.-London Standard.

cannot be distinguished from
solid silver, except in weight
The patterns are identical
with the solid goods, and the
bowls and handles are rein
forced with sterling silver,

DoWNEY

DOWNEY, Nov. 23.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Again there is wailing and
gnashing of teeth in the negro quarter.
On Second street there are two small
shanties under whose shelter reside
about sixteen or eighteen negroes of all
ages, sizes and shades of color On Sec
ond street are also situated three
churches, the public school building and
several residences, and these negro
shanties are right in the midst of the
churches. Notwithstanding the religious
atmosphere in which they live and the
fact that one of their number is a
preacher, these colored people are con-
stantly getting into difficulty with one
another. John Mcdonald, a young negro
ranch hand, married a negress some time
ago who had family of three or four
children, one of which is q young girl
about II or IA years of age, and now
John is alleged to have committed incest
with his step daughter. On Saturday he
skipped out, after having disposed of
the family pigs, and his whereabouts
are unknown. From time to time such
charges have been made by the colored
population against some member there
of, and it remains to be seen whether
a conviction can be had should the
fugitive John be caught. This is the
true state of affairs, Notwithstanding the
highly sensational REPORTS published
by the city press.

Reze McKelvey, the 15-year-old son

charged with stealing money from the
pockets of classmates in the Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms. On four different occasions
money has been missed from the boys
clothes, which they are in the habit
of hanging up in the dressing rooms
while exercising in the gymnasium. j.
D. Kelsey, deputy marshal. was some
time ago notified by Prof. Howland of
the thefts. Kelsey has kept watch and
suspected McKelvey. Tonight while
class was exercising Kelsey kept watch
and saw Mckelvey steal so cents from
pair of trousers hanging up in the
dressing room. The boy was arrested
and denied having taken anything. He
confessed, however, when the money
was taken from his pocket and he was
confronted by the owner of the amount
who described the purse and told how
and where he had left it. Later Reze con-
fessed to having taken $3.50 on different
occasions. He also confessed to having
been in similar trouble before. He
pleaded guilty before Justice Rossiter
tonight and will be sentenced tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. He was given
into the charge of his father over night.
The boys history throws some light
upon his character. He has not had
mothers care nor had he been with his
father up to last September when he
came here from San Bernardino where
he had been on a ranch. OF late, Reze
has been in the ninth grade at the high
