THE SECRET SERVICE.
Tiresoms Work OF Reading u Ci-
pher Dispatch of 1000 Words.

Tiresome Work OF Reading n Ci-
pher Dispatch of 1000 Words.
Some governments make use OF nu-
merals for their ciphered communica-
tions with their agents abroad, others
a mixture of numerals and words, and
yet others exclusively words. OF course,
the only problem that needs solution
in dispatches Of this kind is to ascer-
tain the key number or key word
When that is accomplished, the re-
mainder is easy, though generally very
tedious. Indeed it is difficult to conceive
of more tiresome, head splitting piece
of work than either to cipher or deci-
pher a dispatch of some 1900 or 1000
words. The writer talks from sad ana
weary experience.
Some governments change the key
word or key numerals with each dis
patch, according to a settled arrange
ment Others, again, change 1t every
month. Sometimes it is placed at the
beginning of the dispatch, at other
simes at the end To the uninitiated n
dispatch of this kind will appear in the
nature of a Chinese puzzle, but TO an
expert cryptographer the deciphering
of q government code dispatch is mere
child's play
Occasionally the dispatch will appear
a mere tumble of consonants without
any meaning, while at other times it
will be so ciphered as to contain sensi-
BILE and plausible sentences, the mean
ing of which appears on the surface.
1t was q code of this kind that was
used by the Spanish secret agents in
this country during the war with
Spain, and the clever staff of secret
service men employed by the United
States government were in very
short time possessed Of a key to the
cipher in question-New York Tribune.

TAUGHT TO LOVE BIRDS.
thies Of Children IN This
Direction.

In almost every civilized country
there are societies for the protection
of birds, but Italy is the first country
in which strenuous effort has been
made to enlist the sympathies of chill
dren in this direction, says the New
York Herald.
DR.. Vitelanio Tonta recently pointed
out to the leading italian teachers that
little children could easily be taught
to love birds, and that this lesson,
once learned, would never be forgot
ten, whereas if the lesson were not
taught until the children were grown
up little heed would be paid to it ex-
cept by those persons who were nat
urally sympathetic and fond Of dumb
creatures.
In Germany, France and England,
he said, there are many persons who
are interested in birds and who are
doing what they can to prevent them
from being killed for the sake of their
plumage, but>in order to do really ef-
fectual work q more thorough crusade
is needed and. it is only from the ranks
of children that crusaders Of the right
type can be obtained. ,...

think it would be well for teachers
throughout the country to carry it.

by simply impressing on their pupils

toward birds or any other innocent
creatures.

grandson of Benjamin Harrison, one OF
the signers of the declaration Of inde-

university (Ohio) in 1852, studied law ir
Cincinnati. and in 1854 removed to Indian
apolis, Ind. where he has since resided.
He was elected recorder Of the Indiana
supreme court in 1860, and reelected in 1864
In 1862 he entered the northern army as

a full term. In 1883 Mr.. Harrison was
elected president Of the United States on
the republican ticket, receiving 233 votes
in the electoral college to 16S cast for
Grover Cleveland. Four years later he
was an unsuccessful candidate for reelec-
ton. Mr.. Harrison was married in 1852
to Caroline 1.avinia Scott. Mrs. Harrison
died in the white house In 1892 OF the two
children born by this union Russell b.
Harrison Is widely known. He served in
the volunteer army during the recent war
with Spain. The daughter became Mrs.

Prior to his formal withdrawal from the
presidential arena. Gen. Harrison interest
ed the public by the announcement, on
January 15 of his engagement to niece
OF his first wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Lord
Dimmick, of New York. Her first husband
was Benjamin Dimmick, son of a famous
Pennsylvania, politician, who, marrying in
1887. had left her widow three months aft
er the ceremony. Gen. Harrison and Mrs.
Dimmick were married in New York April
6. 1856. A daughter. who was christened
Mary Elizabeth. was born to Gen. and Mrs.
Harrison on February q, 1897
In May of 1899 Gen. Harrison was en-
ployed AZ counsel for Venezuela in the
celebrated arbitration over the boundary
dispute with England. He spent months
In preparing the case, and made lengthy
speech before the arbitration committee
at Paris, and, on returning to this country
remarked that he had never had a case
in which he felt so completely on the right
side and so thoroughly prepared. The de-
cision. which was a compromise, was q
keen disappointment to him. He felt
piQued that the court should have made q

these recently made the voyage from
New York to Yokohama in from two to
three weeks less time than a steamer
with speed of II knots an hour. An
other made the run from New York to
Brunswick, Ca, in only a day longer
than steamship schedule time. These
are significant facts, because they re-

Of its development. The carrying ca
pacity of some of the largest Of these
vessels is about $500 tons, 1000 more
than the ordinary tramp steamer of
the smaller class. Altogether the
