SuppOsing we wished to write a secret
| message expressed in the word fly" The
example Of reduction for this word has
already been given, each letter being rep
| resented by series of five as and ''b''s s
arranged in systematical order. 1t will
be seen that to produce the word "fy''
requires three of these series of five words
each, or fifteen letters in all. Now the
| outside or public message must consist of
exactly fifteen letters. 1t does not mat
ter OF what it is composed, so it conforms
to this rule. 1t would be better, of course,
to have it mean something, SO as to de-
ceive any outsider into whose hands it
might fall.
For instance, let us take the sentence:
Do you deem best.
We would write it this way:
do As YOU dEeM best.
The one to whom we wrote it would
turn to his second alphabet already given
and he would see that the first letter of
the sentence was small Ia and conse-
quently represented by "a" The second
letter 90 being a small letter would also
be represented by "a" but the third letter
"a being a capital would be represented
by 'b.' Take the whole sentence and ap-
plying this rule ('b'' for capitals and ''a''
for small letters) we get this result:
doA You d eM bESt
a b a b a b a b a b a b ba
Divide the lower letters in the lines Just
given into series of fives and we have:
aabab ababa babba
Which, by referring to the first alpha
bet, 1t will be seen, represents the word
"fly.''
1t begins to look as II there were some
meaning in the apparently indiscriminate
use Of large and small letters in the in
scription on the tombstone.
1t would be impossible in the space at
lotted to this article to show the writer's
method in working out the cipher on the
tombstone and the ciphers in the plays-a
task for which he himself requires 1868
pages. He shows the incongruity of the
arrangement of large and small letters in
the inscription on the early tombstone
He shows that even the ignorance of a
rude stonecutter would not cause him to
carve the word SAKE in capitals and
the word Jesus" Immediately preceding
1t in small letters. He shows that the use
Of the hyphen, especially in dividing the
word "Enclo-Ased' and the use of the
period in the word HE. Re- was not mere
accident. He takes these dashes, these
periods and these divisions as his start
ing point in working out his theory, and
by a system that is marvellous in its in
genuity he gives us this result of the
cipher applied to the inscription on the
tombstone:
