THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A PuzzIins Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, SO much so, in fact, that 1t
has been frequently remarked that II
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch of ingenuity is displayed
in the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently In a western Jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard for them, and it was a good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out, and then the key was acct
dentally discovered. A man in for
forgery, as smart a rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long. narrow
strips of paper, on the edge OF which
were letters and parts of letters tina,
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day a deputy who was passing
lut StlI VI a piiS0hSk 90 " hAAs fN--c
long strip of paper around an octagor
lead pencil. He took this paper away
and on 1t were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this
and, going back to the Office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad
justed it so that the parts of letters
fitted together and made a sentence
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan of covering the Leaf
pencil with the paper and had theI
written along one Of the fat sides. o.
unrolling it the writing was as mys
teal as a cryptogram. but when pu
around the pencil, as 1t was originally
it could be easily understood.-Dalla

WHIRL OF THE TORNADO.
Beside Il the Rush of the Cyclone 10
Comparatively Harmless.

An uphill fight for accurate English
is being waged year after year by SCI
entific authorities on the weather who
object to having the tornadoes which
rip through towns now and then or
carry away isolated farmhouses, call
ed cyclones" The distinction made
by the experts in meteorology is plain.
but the public is welded to the ICY
clone"
The word has gained wide accept
ance In describing the furious local
storms which rush forward along a
more or less direct path while they
whirl with far greater velocity on a
center which may be only few feet in
diameter. If boys top is spun on
one end of a board and the board is
tilted so that the top slides quickly
along II, all the while revolving at
high speed on its point the onward
sweep of the tornado is closely imi-
tated.
1t Is the spinning motion which is
swiftest and most destructive. The ad'
vance of the storm may not be as rapid
as that of many a comparatively harm
less gale. The twisting motion is est,
mated at not less than 200 miles an
| hour in the worst tornadoes.
The true cyclone Of the West Indies
the China sea and other parts of the
tropics Is entirely different Its force
is spent in a furious wind that seems
to blow almost straight ahead. while
the storm revolves, more or less fully
around a circle the circumference Of
which may be many hundred miles. A
tornado wreaks its fury on a strip Of
land usually only a mile or less II
width. The cyclone sweeps scores Oh
hundreds of miles Of sea or shore.

THE G. T. O. CLUB GIVES PICNIC.

The Good Time Outing Club of AL
giers, recently organized, and having
for it's members all young boys and
girls of our town, gave their first out
ing on Sunday last, June s, 1913, at the
Six Oaks, Just across from the Naval
Station, on the Lower Coast, at the
same place that he German picnic was
given some few weeks ago.
The crowd went down to the picnic
grounds together, meeting at the home
of Mrs F. Marie in Pelican avenue.
Leaving in the a. m. car they arrived
at the picnic grounds about 800 a. m.
Just after they had succeeded in clear
ng enough space to hang their swings,
lay the bases for picnic ball and were
on the verge of spreading their many
good things to eat out on natures ia
ble old Nature herself took hand and
tried to interfere with the days sport
by sending down a heavy rain, which
caused all in the crowd to get soaking
wet. The rain did not find any of the
crowd with a yellow streak, as all
showed gameness, and, having gone
out for good time, good time they
were determined to have in spite of ma
lures interference. So they loaded all
| their good things to eat and drink back
into their wagon, and, leaving them in
the care of the boys, the girls boarded
the car and rode to the residence Of
Mrs. p. Haag on Pacific avenue, ant
very shortly the boys arrived with the
wagon and the goodies. Mr.. and Mrs
p. Haag then turned the house over t
their visitors, who cleared out three
rooms of all the furniture but thu
piano. Then the crowd danced unit
dinner time, said time finding all tn
bunch with their usual good appetites
and it did not take them long to d.
away with the eatables, as well as tn
drinkables.
After dinner dancing was resumed
until about 4 p. m, when all retiret
TO the back yard and many old child
hood games were played until about
o'clock. The crowd then went into tn
parlor and rendered many. vocal selec
tions, with the assistance of Miss Al
nette Marie at the piano, who has to b
given the credit of being some ivor
ticker"
The next outing of the club is schet
uled for July and will take place a
either the Haag's camp on Bayou Barr
taria or at some camp at Milneburg.
Among the people who enjoyed tn
days sport were the following: Mise

words as these:
