CIPHER MESSAGES
BY WIRELESS
LATEST DEVICE MAKES POSSIBLE
ABSOLUTE SECRECY IN TRANS
MISSION WONDERFUL lNVEN-
TON WILL ADD TO WIRELESS
USES.

Philadelphia Bulletin: The cryptic
derful machines Of recent invention,
for it will take an ordinary message
in plain English or any other langu-
age, turn it into a cryptogram that
cannot be deciphered except by a key
and send 1t through the air in this
form; then at the receiving wireless
station a similar machine will catch
the tumble and translate it into the
original language. No other wireess
station that picks up the message can
max any sense of it.
Even without: the cryptogram fea-
ture the machine is marvellous, for al
both the sending and the receiving
ends it operates like a typewriter. To
send a message, the operator simply
writes it on a standard typewriter key
board and the machine does the rest.
At the receiving end the message is
automatically caught and written out
as if by a typewriter.
The sending and receiving mechan-
ism is not unlike that of stock tickers.
The pressing of a letter key on the
sending machine flashes out q wire
less message Of certain dots and
dashes; and at the receiving instru-
ment those dots and dashes bring up
the same letter on the printing mech
anism. Each letter of the alphabet
has it's own combination of dots and
dashes.
The cryptogram attachment is in
geniouS but simple. There are 100
different cryptograms or codes posi-
BILE on the apparatus. Thus each let
ter can be sent by 720 different COM
binations of dots and dashes. In
cr%yptogram number eleven, for in
stance, the letter y may be repre-
scented by the cryptogram number,
thirty-tWo - or even by dots and
dashes that are not used in any Of
the other cryptograms for any letter.
A c~ryptogram number must be
agreed upon first by the sender and
receiver exactly the same as in the
machine is then set by a sort Of dial
arrangement, to the cryptogram num-
ber-number eleven for instance, The
message to be sent is written
on the typewriter keyboard in plain
language. The machine selects for
the letter A. the dots that represent
A in cryptogram number eleven, aud
for letter 3 the dots and dashes that
represent B in that code. AS the
wireless message flies through the air
it can be caught by eavesdroppers on
wireless receivers, but it will mean
nothing to the listeners.
At the receiving station the ma
chine set for number eleven recognizes
certain dots as meaning A in number
eleven and prints A on the paper
and 80 with all the other letters.
Edgar Allan Poe made common
knowledge of a simple method Of de-
ciphering cryptograms, but his system

consonants jumbIed up may be sent

HE DIDN'T TOUCH HOME.

Strike two, ball three!" the umpire
cried, and then u Casey swung
And hit the ball a mighty swipe with
his good tongue.
Above the 1elders high it scared, a

While round the bases Casey romped

In Hopewell Center. miles away, the
cheering could be heard; :
And painting Casey on the bench sat
down, a famous lad,
While in the stands above his head the
crowd went nearly mad.
But standing there beside the plate
the frantic catcher yelled,
Throw up the ball! Throw up the

held.
And when he had the bounding sphere,
he rushed with savage vim
To smiling Casey Vn the helch aud
tagged the ball o n him. "
You're out!" the umpire loudly CALI
ed, and all the crowd was dazed.
And mad for fair this time they went
and much disturbance raised. .

For Casey in his circuit had neglected

How like to Casey's downfall are the

Who race aroun1i the bases, winning

the prosecution had woefully failed to

ing Carroll guilty of the murder. He
said he believed the defendant was tell.
ing the truth just as much as Zoller
was when about tc die.
Doubt as to the eredibility of the
witnesses was brought forward by At
torney Smith on account of the fact
that at the time of shooting everyone
in Gervais was excited and could not
tell exactly what happened. He averred
that the testimony of Ernest Klinger
was not to be believed because when
the shooting began he admitted that he
erawled in n ditch and remained there
until everything was quiet. Credence
was not to be given the testimony of
the girls and women, either, he argued,
because they were excited, too. In
fact, Attorney Smith declared, no one
could tell just what took place and
who was responsible.
Although the selection of jurymen
began yesterday morning it was not
until $3.50 in the afternoon that the
