Cipher rAat Prove. II was None OH

Though Ignatius Donnelly. through the
wonderful discovery of the Bacon cipher.
may have proved to his own satisfaction
that Shakespeare did not write the plays
credited to him for three centuries, he has
not robbed the bard Of Avon of literary
honor, for another cipher proves just as
conclusively that Shakespeare wrote the
psalms OF course this is joke, but
there is as much evidence to support it
as there is to support Donnelly's theory.
In Shakespeare's name lies the key to
this wonderful cryptogranl. As Mr.. Don
nelly says, the spelling Shakespeare
was the poets nom de plume, while
"Shnkespere" was his name, an evident
change from "Shakcspear." In each Of
the two spellinss last given are ten let
ters-four novels and six consonants.
Combine these two figures. and we have
the number 46. the key to the mystery.
Turning to the forty sixth psalm in the
revised version, ii is found that the psalm
is divided into three portions, each one
ending with ''selah." Remember the
number-4G
Counting 46 words from the beginning
OF the psalm. one reads the word Shake
in the first portion, and counting 46 words
from the end of the psalm one reaches
the word spear There is Shake.
spear as plainly as letters can make it.
Now turn to the middle portion Of the
psalm and apply the rule OF averages.
To get this average one goes to the mid
die verse. which is the sixth, as it has
five verses on each side OF it. Observe
the significant s. the last figure OF our

number of acres therein. If the field is
triangular in shape Gig. u, measure its
longest side and the perpendicular to
this from the opposite angle. Multiply
the number of yards in the long side by
half the number of yards in the per
pendicular and divide by 4,S4O. Thus
assuming AC, the longest side, 10 be
242 yards and BID, the perpendicular,
100 yards, the calculation should be,
242 yards multiplied by 80 yards divid-
ed by 4,840 square yards equals acres.
If the field is rectangular Gig. p,
multiply the number Of yards in it's
length (AD) by the number in its
breadth OC) and divide by 4,84O. If
the field is parallelogram Gig. 81,
multiply the number of yards in one of
its long sides (AD) by the number in
the perpendicular between the long
sides (EF) and divide by 1890.
If the field is trapezoid Gig. ~, add
the number of yards in the two parallel
sides CAD and Be-, multiply by half
the number of yards in the perpendicu-
lar between these parallel sides and di-
vide by 4,s4O.
Should the field be of an irregular
shape Gig. 81 of four or more sides it
can be divided up into two or more of
the above geometrical figures, and the
sum of the calculated areas will be the
whole area.
The four sided field Gig. 81 can be
divided by the line AC into two TRAN
giles. Measure AC, BF and DE. For
the triangle ABC multiply the number
Of yards in AC by half the number In
BIZ. For the triangle ACD multiply
the number of yards in AC by half the
number INDIE. Add these two results
and divide by 4,s4O. Like the above,
the four sided field Gig. g. can be di-
vided into two triangles by drawing a
line from A to G or from B to D, or
by drawing two perpendiculars from
! B and G to the side AID it can be divid-
ed into two right triangles and trape-
zoid.
| The six sided field Gig. y can be
divided into four triangular ones-viz,
ABC, ACC, AFE and DEE. For Abe
multiply the number Of yards in AC by
] half the number in BIZ. For AEC
! multiply the number of yards in AC by
half the number in Ell. For AFE null
tiply the number of yards in AE by
half the number in FIG. For DEE
multiply the number of yards in &c by
half the number in DIX. Add these
four results and divide by 4,S4O.
The eight sided field Gig. 81 can be
vided into six triangular ones, and the
measuring and calculations are the
same as above.
For rough calculation 1t will suffice
to ''step OF" the various lines to be
measured, in which case each step ia
