is indispensable practice today. AS
an illustration, none better can be
cited than that some people at that
time entertained the theory that the
earth was round There are many
ideas equally as radical today as the
one just referred to was six hundred
years ago. All that is wanting is
nourishment and faith in their yield
ing qualities. We might liken them
to strange plant-unless we set it
in the right kind of soil and give it
proper encouragement it will not bios
som nor bear fruit.
We say, and very aptly so, that con-
ditions as they are now will not permit
Of the adoption of certain theories as
advocated by the various leagues.
Now what do these conditions consist
Of? Let me here make two sugges-
tions as constituting these conditions.
First, the masses have not yet seen
the "theory" feature removed, and con-
sequently will not accept of them, and
second, the opposing factions are
straining every power that theory
shall remain theory, and especially if
there is seen in it anything that would
in anywise be damaging to their in
terests. The reasons as just given for
certain theories not being made opera
tive, constitute the conditions that will
not permit of their adoption; which
proves that not only have they COM
petitive influence but also that they
are on the verge of maturity, there to
assume positions as things realistic
and in different form.
Presupposing that it is only matter
of time until these Theoretical facts
will be made operative, we can, within
a comparatively short tine look fol
far more wonderful accomplishments
than have heretofore been effected
And if credit is given where 1t is due
theory will rank as the most effective
factor in the advancement of all
things. In this connection l might
state that it is unwise to contend that
a theory ceases to exist as soon as it il
established as a practical scheme; fol
in so doing we ignore the true source
of priceless derivatives while we praise
some rank imposter. E. b. D.

the A-B-C cookbook is divided into
three columns. In the first column
are figures from to 99,999 inclusive;
IN the second column are words or
combinations of letters arranged al
phabetically; and in the third column
are placed the words, phrases or sem
fences that the numbers or words in
the first or second column represent.
Suppose that the body of message to
be cabled is as follows, the address and
signature being omitted:
"Tugs now assisting; we write
you full particulars"
In the cookbook, the sender of the
message would look up the important
words "tugs" and "write." These two
words would be found in their proper
places, and the complete line contain
ing each would be as follows:-
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1905-05-04
1f,bf5, I IuTCI6; I Tugs HOW dSSfSClng.
15.419; Worthy; We write you full particulars

The sender would then transmit these
two words, "Turtle;" "Worthy," and
the party to whom the message was adj
dressed would find the meaning by
looking up in his cookbook the two
words "turtle" and "worthy." Thus
instead of eight words, only two need
be transmitted. In this way all war
messages are shortened and sent, being
at the same time unintelligble to "im-
proper" eyes. The numbers in the first
column stand for almost another code.
Let us take for example word hav-
ing ten letters in which no letter is
used more than once. The word
"cumberland" satisfies these two con-
ditions. Arrange it as follows:
Gu MBERLA AND
1894 56789
In the first column of the cookbook,
opposite the two phrases, "Tugs now
assisting" and "we write you full par
ticulars," are the two numbers 14,643
and 1919, respectively. In the word
cumberland" G represents the numer-
al 1, U the numeral 2, and so on. Thus,
the number 1858 is represented by the
group of letters cbrbm, and the num-
Der 15,419 by cebcn. On the message
blank, the sender using this code
would write:
CBRBM CEBCN.
These letters would be translated in
groups exactly as written and the
party receiving it would first translate
it into the two numbers 1858 and 15,-
419 by means of the private code word
cumberland" and the numerals cor
responding to each letter in this word.
Then by looking up these numbers in
the cookbook, the correct meaning
would be attained. By the use of
such private code-words as "cumber-
land" secret code is established in
transmitting allimportant government
messages. Different words are used
for the different dispatches, often each
commander has his 'sset" of words
changed frequently, and in time of war
the words are changed by use of the
second and third columns, often being
changed daily, so that leakage of or
ders is next to impossible.
If the various governments possessed
not only these code-words but also
their own secret code-5ooks, it would
be utterly impossible for anyone, not
possessing both the government code
words and books, to translate these
ingenious cipher messages.

Telegraphy and War,

NE OF the important adJuncts
to modern war paraphernalia
~ is the electric telegraph.
Aside from the public uses to
which this service is put in times of
war in furnishing press notices "from
the front" there is another use-vastly
more impOrtant-to which it is put,
upon which perhaps not so many read
ers are informed. This is the govern
ment cipher message. The experiences
on one of our own "men-o'-war" will
enable the writer to give an account of
this wonderful system as it is in use
today.
Very few persons realize how ex-
tenslvely telegraph codes are used, and
how easily cipher code can be ar
ranged.
The only signals that can be sent
over cable or telegraph line are the
dot and the dash. All letters of the
alphabet and all numbers are made by
combination of these dots and dashes,

letters and numbers may be combined
and transmitted in any order that
suits the sender of a cable or telegraph
message. There are several very ex-
tensive and complete code systems
arranged for the general public, but
they are used mostly for sending cable
grams. By their use, long message
can be transmitted by means of few
words, and thus the cost which might
otherwise be very high, can be made
quite reasonable. Of these code-books
both receiver and sender must have a
copy, as the telegraph and cable com.
panies, do not, and will not, form OF
translate messages.
The method of using code can be
best illustrated by an example, using
some particular code. Each page II

Theory and Its Re-
latiOn to Practice,

Paper Read Before the ChdutduQudC Circle.
TIME generally accepted interpre-
tation of theory is that it is
something fanciful-imagin-
airy; such is the impression we
get from Webster who describes it as
distinguished from art" Being some
thing that is merely imagined, we are
prone to underestimate its value, and
naturally pay little or no attention to
1t. But those who appreciate its worth
outlined in another paragraph.
Insisting that we are wide-awake
and intelligent people, it is indeed
strange that we do not stop to consid-
er more fully the Importance of, also
the effect which this so-called mythical
reasoning has on the shaping of events
that so conspicuously crown this era
of civilization. On the contrary, when
doctrine or idea is propounded, per-
chance as remedy for some existing
evil, those adverse to any change in
conditions, laugh and ridicule it in its
infancy, and then deal the presumably
fatal blow by labelling it "theory." We
live in an age that demands ideas which
are practical at first sight, hence, one
that is somewhat complicated or diff
cult of performance is merely theo-
retical and not practical one. For
instance: Government ownership of
railroads. If this theory will some day
be made a practicable idea, its thus
passing from the category of air-castles
to that of practice, wildly reveals that
which this paper aims to-the relation
of theory to practice.
1 will admit that we have a great
many theories that have in reality NO
relation to anything except perhaps
the questionably conditioned minds
from which they emanated; and on
these I shall not dwell because 1 think
they have been wrongly classified and
, actually belong to what are termed
'day Dreams" Still, we have those
that are of untold worth even tho
