secured and thirty-six names have
been submitted to the Swarthmore
Chautauqua Association. At an
election held last night following
the last event of this seasons pro-
gram the election of officers was
held. Harold G.. Hoffman was
unanimously elected president for
the coming year. Percy II. Locker,
treasurer. and William A. Mills. Sec

entire six events on the program.
Local boys and girls portrayed all
the parts. Manvil Apologize was
especially pleasing in the part of the
lamb. Ansel Morris as the town
crier was also good. The boys did
various stunts that had been
taught them during the past three
days. The girls pleased with folk
dances and a flag drill.

Oh, search that heart and see:
And from my bosom tear the part
That beats not true to thee;
And can you. then such love repress.
A heart so true resign?
Dear youth, return my tenderness
And be my Valentine!"

appeared on a sentimental Valentine
in old England. which is reproduced

Dear Miss or Mistress Double Face,
Your faithful picture here l trace:
Externally you are a saint.
Within a devil without paint.
With smiles of friendship on one
cheek,
Your lips on one side kindly speak;
While frowns and curses opposite
Prove you a heartless hypocrite."

when the first colored comics were
placed on the market.

find that she does not differ in looks
very much from others. On an aver
age, they are not so good-looklng as
the American women. The difference
may be said to lie In their timidity.
Even this quality Is dissipated quickly
when they come In contact with for
eigners. as is the case In the mixed re-
eeptions given at the Constantlnople
college for girls, maintained here BY
Americans. At such receptions the

"GOld" Alchemy
Hoax of Bacon

terms marvellous storehouse Of scien-
tific knowledge.
Doctor Newbold told Of his two
years labor to decipher the code Ba-
con used.
As a result of the revelations made
by the 100000 word manuscript, scien-
lists have declared Bacon had remark
able knowledge Of mathematical sys-
TENS conceived today, and had not the
discoveries made by him remained I'M
known to others until rediscovered
hundreds Of years after his death,
science would have been just so much
in advance Of its present state.
Explanation Of the Cipher.
Bacon conceived the idea Of ex-
pressing every letter of word which.
he wanted to write in cipher by syl-
liable and building the syllable into a
new word" he said. For example, If
the letter 'C is represented by 'GR,'
"A by ADJ and e. by ED the word
Graded would spell Cat
'The principle cannot be used In this
way because, first, every word will be
represented in cipher by twice as many
letters, and second, no words can be
used in cipher except those of an even
number of letters. To meet these diff
culties Bacon lays down the rule that
successive syllables must end and be-
gin with the same letters, doubled let
tiers being dropped Thus Cat may
be spelled In the Bacon cipher as fol-
lows: 'Go-ol-ld'; dropping the double
letters, one gets the word Gold
No Wonder Secret Was Kept.
'In reading the cipher you double
every letter except the first and last
and thus discover the syllables which
spell the word. But it is seldom pos
sible to find syllables which fulfill
these conditions and yet spell a new
word when arranged In the order OF
letters of the original word like cat,
for example. Cat may also be spelled
'ar-rk-da, and the syllabies may be
rearranged into the word dark but
when dark is translated the word
cat will reappear as tea the order
Of the letters being disarranged. These
are the principles Bacon used.
There are 494 possible combinations
of the letters of two 22-letter alpha
bets, taken two by two. Bacon makes
every one of the 4S4 represent letter
of his alphabet and with them spells
his words In Latin in the way indl-
Gated above. He disarranges the I'M
DERIVING text as little as possible and
1t usually is still recognizable, but
frequently 1t is dlsarranged so much
that scholars probably never will
agree as to how 1t should be recon-
structed%

Philadelphia, Pa.-Alchemists who

victims of a hoax, declared William

lectual and moral philosophy at the
University of Pennsylvania, before the
general meeting of the American
Philosophical society here.
Bacon, he contended, hid under a
nonsensical jargon Of alchemists'
