gamblers either as sharsrs in their
winnings or in profits of the custom
they bring to the lines. James Wilson
OF New York is at the head of the cru
sade. he is now in London collecting
evidence showing the nature and ex-
tent Of the gambling evil ON liners.
The purpose Of the league is to drive
card sharpers from the ocean by max
ing it against the rules Of all the big
steamer lines to gamble for any sum
or any stakes in the public rooms of
their vessels. Mr.. Wilson is reported
as saying: k. ~s az ~ -.
1t IS true that league to prevent
ocean gambling is being formed, and
It is also gratifying fact that it is
going to be very popular with the tour
lists and travelling public. Gambling
has grown to be a great evil on the

Bile while killing time on the ocean

a CODE TYpEWRIrEK.

The New York Commercial gives
che following account OF wonderful
adaptation of the typewriter to the
purposes Of cipher code work which
has been made by George G. Dickens
aderfer of Stamford, Conn: For hun
GEeds of years the brightest minds OF
all civilized countries have been
working to perfect cipher code that
could not be solved, and at the same
time might be readily translated. This
government has spent thousands OF.
dollars to perfect each of the various
codes used by the different depart
ments. and yet what has been spent by
this country is very small compared
with the vast sums spent by European
governments to obtain cipher systems
which would defy the ingenuity of the
:sharpest spies in the world. Probably
the most complicated code used by the
United States is the naval code, and
tine secret Of this code is guarded as
nothing else is guarded. All the code
books for the use of officers are bound
Nm lead SO that in case of possible ac-
'cident or capture they can be thrown
overheard. When the Maine was sunk
at Havana the whole naval department
was in state of the widest alarm
until a diver found the code book in
the captains cabin. During all the Chi
nese troubles there was constant fear
lest the Chinese government had OBJ
&ained a copy of Minister Congers
code and was translating his messages
The government codes are so compli-
gated that when a message is received
it takes hours of work to make trans
Iation of it, and yet with all the pre-
cautions that can be taken, there Is
always the possibility that they may
be a slip some place and that the
code may fall into outside hands.
Very soon, however, the old clum-
sy codes used by the different govern
ments and the cipher codes Of COM
Enerce will be largely a thing of the
past A simple little typewriter-the
most simple ever made, and at the
same time the most wonderful-will
cause all the lead-covered books to be
heaved into the sea and revolutionize
the method OF transmission Of all mes
:ssages which must be secret The won
'derful new machine is the invention Of
George G. Blickensderfer, and it is the
result Of nine years constant work and
study. In his Office at Stamford, Conn,
fehe inventor showed the machine to be

observations ON Southern Horticulture,
y The question of transportation OF
fruit is the great one at present. In
northern Alabama and in some parts
Of southern Tennessee the, strawberries
were rotting on the vines this spring
at time when they were selling for
l5 cents per box in Chicago. They
had been picked to supply the local
demand till the prices fell to a point
where picking was no longer profit
able. The price was low because the
growers were virtually cut off from a
market. Within few hours from that
time, the writer was in Atlanta, where,
berries were selling from wagons at.
from z to IL cents :, per box. The:
growers around Atlanta simply had
access to a good market. ~ ~
There are certain fruits better suit
ed to the sandy lands than others and
these only should be grown. We men
ton the peach and plum, the cherry
and the grape, and the Kieffer pear.
At Southern Pines only two varieties
of grapes are being grown-the Del
aware and the Niagara. These two
varieties are best suited to the soil
and conditions mentioned OF the two,
the Delaware probably stands at the,
head. This is due5to the fact that it is
less affected by grape, diseases than
the other, and also to the fact that it
sells at a higher price in the market
The Delaware should be extensively
grown in the South, for it is hard to-
oYerstock the markets with this vari-
ETY.. The Niagara is profitable where
the marketing conditions are favor
able. Many of the other varieties of
grapes require a stronger soil than
the varieties we have mentioned.
