SECRET WRITING.
(Scut in by Kathleen M. -Warren. 123, IMsnieli Street, Gisborue, age 15.)
Soak a sheet of white paper in water, then lay it down flat on any smooth surface, such as a sheet of glstss, a slato or a hard, smooth piece of wood. Then on top of the wet'sheet lay a dry sheet of paper, and with the hard point of a pencil write on the dry sheet, pressing hard oii the pencil point to force the lettering on' to the wet sheet beneath.
When the writing is completed, the top sheet is no longer required, so it can lie destroyed. When the wet sheet dries, the characters impressed thereon will have disappeared, and the most careful inspection of it will not reveal the slightest sign of writing. Yet the recipient. has merely to soak the sheet again in water and the secret message will reappear.
