the alphabet in twenty-four columns, Civ

The first column begins with A. the sec
ond with B, and A following as the sec

so simple that no government on earth
today would intrust any important mes

pherer to get the right key.

IT. -. ~,

GEORGE NJ. CONAN, at an after-thea-
~ ter supper, was talking about the
turkey trot
There's a moving little story about the
turkey trot," he said, with smile. a
story that illustrates well the vicissitudes
of an actors life.
IAN elderly actor said in despair to a
theatrical agent one day:
is there nothing you can do for me?
I've hung around your office, out of work,
for eight months now.
1.-The agent, as he polished his diamond
ring with his red silk handkerchief, an
swered thoughtfully:
Look here, bring yourself up to date.
The turkey trot is all the go. You train
some animal or bird to do the turkey trot
with you and I'll get you on one of the
circuits at a three-hgure salary.
THE old actor thanked the agent CRATE
fully. He bought an ostrich from a re-
tired circus man, and after a lot of hard
work he taught the bird to turkey trot
with him splendidly. Then he reported
himself to the agent again.
But the agent, for all his promises,
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for while, then
every other day. then every third day;
but there was nothing doing, and at last
a week went by without his appearance
at the agents office.
Then the agent sent for him and said:
Well. I've fixed you up at last. I've
booked you for that turn or yours at
But the old actor interrupted sadly.
Its too late now he said.
"'Too late? How is it too late? said
the agent, frowning.
I've had to eat my partner. muttered
the old actor"

who at that time, when there was a
great deal of commerce, We're in various
parts Of the world. 1t is possible that
the system was used to some extent by
the federal government itself at the time,
although there was comparatively no Sc
cret writing done here by the government
in its early years. AS Wouves' table was
issued before the time of the sensational
TX Z" correspondence from our en-
voys in France, Pinckney, Gerry and
Marshall, it is possible that IT had been
used in some of the communications be-
tween the ENJOYS and their government.
Wouves' table, of course is the founda-
ton for tnnumerable secret ciphers. 1t

1t would be next to impossible for the
inventor himself to translate message
that had been written under his method

TENS that really are intended TO be safe,

understood that very long messages sell

stands still on the screen for one-siX-

Operators say that If the picture did not
stand still for a fraction of a second
there would be no picture on the screen.
Instead, there would be only one long
blur. The film is series of hundreds OF
individual photographs. which are turned
through the operating machine at a
speed that permits each picture to re-

THE announcement that the Vatican
had been compelled to abandon
cipher used in it's communications
to It's officials IN various parts of the
world, after having been in use for the
last two centuries, REEVES interest in
the subject Of secret writing, which Is
still found necessary in many of the
communications between state or foreign
departments and their legations and en-
bassieS One of the most remarkable
comments made upon the now discarded
Vatican cipher, which had been aban-
doned because in France one of the keys
fell into the hands Of the unfriendly gov
eminent there, is the fact that, although
it had been used for two centuries, it
never had been read by those who were
not in possession of the key.
1t has been declared by those who have
studied the subject that the solution of
secret methods of writing have kept pace
with the invention Of these ciphers. That
the CIPHER of the Vatican has escaped
this fate for POO years indicates that the
head of the Catholic Church was in pos
session of the most valuable system of
secret writing in existence. The well
recognized fact that the secret writing
systems of governments may be solved
has compelled those in charge of the
cipher departments of the foreign offices
SO much concern that it has been GUS
tomary to frequently change the keys.
1t has been customary TO make these
changes at regular intervals, SO that
ment come into possess on of a key d
short time later that key would be use
less for the decipherinS of dispatches
which were later sent out.

broken pieces in the mechanism of his

These are about all that the operating

Great ingenuity is called into play to
by d person not in possession of the key.
And, on the other hand, so much inge-
nuity has been bestowed on the effort that
very simple systems have had to be dis
carded for more elaborate ones. There
are many forms of cipher writing. Read
ers of Poe's Gold Bug know how that
ingenious author deciphered a cryptogram
that at first glance seemed to be impossi-
BILE. Nowadays the reading of such a
cryptogram would be only a matter of
time for an expert in one of the cipher
departments of foreign office. 1t was
simplicity itself, in spite OF the fact that
to the novice it appears unSolvable.
One of the most ancient specimens of
cipher is to be found in the Book of
jeremiah, where, in chapter IA, the pro-
phet writes 'Shehach,'' which is in He
brew cipher known to have been in use;
the word is equivalent to the familiar one
Babel" In other times it was custom
airy for the Greeks to send to their gen.
erals in the field messages written by
means of notches on a piece of parch-
ment When they were fitted to the staff
key, around which the message was wrap
ped the message became Ineligible.
Without the notched stick it was i'm
possible to decipher the dispatch.
Lord Bacon, as the head OF what We
would call the foreign department of the
British government of his time, found it
necessary to give some attention to the
subject of ciphers and secret writing. He
held the system in high estimation, and it
