The existence of stenography among
the Greeks and the Romans is GER
tain. The shorthand that they used
was a form of writing in which each
word was represented by a special
sign. The letters Of the alphabet with
notifications, connected so as to ad-
NIT of great rapidity of execution,
formed the elements Of these charac-
ters. They date at least from the first
century before Christ.
In the second century A. D. is found
the term semciograph (stenographic
character) in the Greek orator, Fla
vius Philostratus.
Origen of Alexandria GS5-254 A. D.)
noted his sermons down in shorthand
and Socrates, the ecclesiastical his
torian of the fourth century, says that
part of the sermons of st, John Chry-
sostom was preserved by the same
process. In the first century B. C.
a discourse Of Cato Uticensis, accord
ing to Plutarch, was taken down by
shorthand reporters.
The development OF shorthand was
due especially to Marcus Tallius firo.
Born in Latum in 1O3 3. c., Trio who
was a slave, was brought up with Ci-

tact show plainly what variety of ink

commercial ink is, as you perhaps
know, iron, but there are other inks
as well. The modern criminologist
has to be familiar with all these and
their identifying tests. Iron ink, for
instance, will vanish utterly under
oxalic acid. Vanadin ink would be
less affected and probably merely

Of our most verile and busily active

Military men in the active pursuit
Of strenuous duties have found It
Of invaluable aid. Policemen to whom
a certain exactitude as to time Is an
essential Of the proper performance
Of their functions, have found wrist
watches more than helpful to them.
A great many orators-pulpit, stump
and soapbox-would run far less risk
Of boring their audiences into a state
OF coma If they would only avail
themselves of it's advantages and In
timations. Locomotive engineers,
pullman porters, night watchmen and
chauffeurs would probably testify
that the world holds no more conven'
