ROGER BAC0N'S KEY
TO SCIENCE FOUND
Cipher Code Shows He Knew
Of the Telescope and
Microscope.
OLD SCRIPT MADE CLEAR
Revelations Made Before Col
lege Of Physicians and Sur
geons at Philadelphia.

PHIrADnLPHrA, April 20. - The ffrst
public explanation Of the key discovered
to the cipher code used by Roger Bacon,
the thirteenth century philosopher-monk
which has revealed that Bacon knew OF
the telescope. microscope and scientinc
facts hitherto supposed to have been un-
known until centuries after his death,
waa made here tonight before the Col
lege OF Physicians and Surgeons.
Addresses were made by Wilfrid M.
voynich OF London and New York,
owner OF the Roger Bacon manuscript, In
which the key to the code was found;
Prof. Ronnaine Newbold Of the Uni
persity OF Pennsylvania, who is working
on the cipher. and Prof c. e. McClug.
also of the University Of Pennsylvania,
who is assisting Prof. Newbold.
ssrhe manuscript falls in four d.
Visions" Prof. Newbold said, dealing.
respectively. with plants. the heavenly
bodies, the generation of animal life
and the preparation OF drugs. The COM
mon link connecting all four is prob
ably Bacon's interest in the prolonga-
tion Of human life. Plants are dis
cusssd because of their medicinal prop
critics. the stars because they deter
mine mans character at his birth
ana influence him throughout life.
"A drawing in the second section, the
late Prof. Eric Doolitt1e asserted, was a
drawing of a nebular. and he declared
the man who drew 1t must have had
telescope, as he correctly depleted fea-
lures invisible to the naked eye. The
legend attached to this picture says the
object was seen in a concave mirror.
and gives It's location in the sky The
location Ia that of tho great nebula
Andromeda. This Ia the first record
of the use Of the telescope.
THE embryological section contains
thfrty-one drawings. As a rule they are
symbolic, for Bacon was unwilling to
draw objects recognizable by the casual
observer.
"But there are drawings which SO
accurately portray the actual appear
ance of certain objects that 1t is difficult
to resist the inference that Bacon had
seen them with his microscope
'sThe symbolic significance Of the
drawings is as yet imperfectIy under
stood. 1t relates In large part to Bacon's
belief that the soul lived in the stars
before birth and returned to the stars
after death.
y '.The drawings which accompany the
yoynich manuscript prove that the
author possessed both the telescope and
microscope or lenses Of considerable
power.
THAT Bacon was the author Of the
manuscript possessed by Mr.. voynich Is
proved by the fact his name Ia written
in cipher on the last page. The key to
the cipher is also written on the last
page. partly In Roman, partly in cipher
cfaaracters."
4 Mr.. Voynich told of his researches
which led to the discovery Of the manu-
script, saying he was compelled to read
the biographies Of several hundred per-
sons to find one which shed any light
upon 1t. This concerned John Dee, who
shakespeare said had volumes he
priced more than his dukedom." Dee
st appears. came into possession of the
manuscript now owned by Mr.. Voynich

BOARDS PREPARING
TO EQUAL|zE TAX
NEW LAW RELIEVING POLICE
JURIES is EFFECTIVE FOR
THE NEW YEAR.
TO CONSIDER APPOINTMENT
Orleans Parish Board Is Composed Of
the Board of Assessors and
Three Members of the
Commission Council.

Baton Rouge.-Act No. 231, Great
Ing parish boards Of equalization,
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature, will become operative on the
first Of the new year, when the duty
OF reviewing property assessments will
pass from the police juries to the new
board.
Prior to the passage Of the law,
police juries were required to meet an
nually as boards Of review and equal
ize values for assessment purposes as
fixed by the assessors. 1t was charged
that only in rare instances did the
police juries comply with the law,
which contemplated a systematic re-
view Of all individual assessments.
The Legislature decided to. change
the system and created parish boards
Of equalization, composed Of three
members, two to be selected by each
police jury and the third member by
the Board of State Affairs. The new
boards are required to meet on the
first Monday in May each year to ex-
anime valutions returned by the Board
of State Affairs The new boards are
required to meet on the first Monday
in May each year to examine valua-
lions returned by the assessors. In
eQualizing values the boards are re-
uuired to consider certain kinds OF
property by classes, such as live stock,
vehicles, machinery, tools, oil and log
ging equipment, town property. etc.
Taxpayers desiring to test the cor
rectness of values placed on their
property may appear before the boards
and make complaint such claims as
are allowed by the boards being sub
tect to final review by the Board OF
State Affairs.
In the parish Of Orleans the board
of equalization is composed OF the
Board of Assessors and three mem
bers OF the Commission Council,
known as the revision committee.
The police juries OF the parishes are
considering the appointment OF their
two members of the boards OF equal
ization and a number Of selections
have already been made by the 1ries,
R. W. Riordan, acting chairman OF the
Board OF State Affairs. said Wednes-
day.
"The Board of State Affairs" Mr..
Riordan continue, has not yet made
any appointments, but now has under
.or,,dorot;ou q uumher of applicants
as the representatives of the State on
the parish boards. The names OF those
selected probably will be announced
by January /.
In the country parishes the mem
bers of the boards of equalization will
receive IS per day and travelling ex-
penses for the time actually served
compensation not being allowed Tor
more than thirty days. In Orleans
parish the equalizers will receive no
pay.

for mine timbers In place where they

two coats, each one-fourth Of an inch
thick, the second being put on before
the first has set or completely hard
