"Di.at Deus" the motto ot Arizona, has puzzled many fair Latin scholar, the derivation of the word "di,at" being somewhat difficult to trace ex- cept to experts in Latin construction. The Herald has figured It out and says the me esning intended to be con- veyed by those who adopted the motto was "Founded by God" though many Latin readers would probably trans late the word "iitst" as favored" in stead of founded" The construction put on the term by those selecting il is proper aud admissible. 'Ditat Deus"-iounded by God"

Cipher Writing.

The art Of secret writing, or writing
in cipher, was, according to Polybius,
invented by Eneas. author Of treatise
OH tactics and other works. He produced
30 methods Of writing in cipher, which
no person could unfold, but we doubt
much whether they would preserve this
quality at the present day. 1t is no less
strange than true that this art, so i'm
portant in diplomacy, as long as couriers
are liable to be intercepted, was held in
abhorrence by the elector Frederic II.
who considered it as diabolical inven-
tion Trithemius, abbot of Spanheim,
had composed several works to revive
this branch of knowledge. and Boville.
an ignorant mathematician, being un-
able to comprehend the extraordinary
terms he made use Of to explain his
method, published that the work was
full of diabolical mysteries. Poissevin
repeated the assertion, and Frederic, in
a holy zeal. ordered the original work
Of Trithemius, which he had in his
library, to be burned as the invention
OF the devil. Round Table.

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.


The Demand IL Now So Small That the
Trade Negiects Them.
One of the most curious effects of the
general replacing of horses by electrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one Of the
extensive car lines in this city which
still uses horses. One would suppose
that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but very small percentage
of those which used them FIVE years
ago, these lines would have much
wider range of choice and could get
horses of grade superior to the gen
eral run of those which used to be
offered to them Remarkable as it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs In direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
IL, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon II superior
lot of horses, and in this way improve
its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced Orders were sent
out TO buy the needed horses. Much to
the surprise of the managers, it was
discovered that ...here were almost no
street car horses Of any kind to be
bought
The explanation of this situation lies
