SECRET CORRESPONDENCE.
An Improvement in the Inks Used For
That Purpose.

That Purpose.
OF the many invisible and svmna-
thctic inks that have been used for
secret correspondence perhaps the
best known are those composed mainly
OF salts of cobalt Marks made with
these fluids remained invisible until
they were subjected to heat. and then
were revealed i'm lines of pale green.
Hin" phCuomonon was transient and
entirely depended on the tcmpcrature.
rs soon as the sheet of paper grew
cool the writing would disappear. Now
To those who had occasion to employ
such means of communication il was
desirable TO know whether any one
tempered with their letters or not
So long as the fact of their core
Spondcnce WAS kept secret of course
there could he no danger. But if that
once became known the contents of n
private letter might he asccrtaincd
by any one through whose hands the
letter passed Cobalt writing can he
made to appear ana disappear n
dozen times without giving the least
evidence of having been read. But
a patent was rcccnly granted in Ger
many which meets this difficulty. and
in some other respects also is an i'm
provcmcnt on the old system.
In the first place, the paper used il
soaked in the cobalt solution and is
prepared in advance. The inventor
aims to put his stationery on the mar
ket. The writing is done with a Solu-
ton of common salt anL b.b,,o., ,.
the cobalt ink did forircrly. 1t can
be seen only when warmed. and dis.
appears Immediately OH cooling. More
over it rcappcars as often as heat is
applied. Its color is Il blush green
Hut the German also provides what
ne calls a control ink" This NAV be
prepared by adding two grains of re-
Sorcia to eight drops of water and six
drops of sulphuric acid. When a per-
son has written his letter with salt
wafer he makes few supplementary
marks in spot previously agreed
upon, with the control ink So long
as the letter remains cool these test
marks are invisible. but when heat is
applied they come out. ana they come
10 stay. They are of brown hue,
different from that of the salt writ
ing. and they will not disappear when
the green writing does. If the author
lied recipient of letter finds these
marks on Il letter before he himself
warns }, ne has reason to suspect that
his secret is known. But if they are
missing the opposite conclusion is JUS

pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
seven or eight hundred years old and
as solid as when first built.
There is reason for this and il lies
in their construction a pagoda is
practically frame work Of heavy
timbcrs, which starts from wide
base. and is in itself substantial
structure. but is rendered still more
stable by peculiar device. Inside the
framework and suspended from tho
apex is long, heavy beam of timber
two feet thick or more This hangs
from one end Of the four sides; fom
more heavy timbcrs. and IL the pagoda
be very lofty. still more timbcrs. are
added 10 these. The whole forms an
enormous pendulum which reaches
within six inches Of the ground.
When the shock OF an earthquake
rocks the pagoda the pendulum swings
i'm unison and keeps the centre Of
gravity always ~ The base Of the
framework. Consequently the eduiIib.
rum Of the pagoda Is never disturbed.
and this Is the explanation Of the
great age Of many Of them. when
from their height one would suppose
them to be particularly susceptible
10 the effects Of the earthquakp.
