Benjamin Franklin published information about microscopy around 1750. What if Franklin developed a system for sending secret messages in the form of microscopic script? The "apparatus" for reading the secret messages could be something like this, and each military commander would have one for reading orders that arrived in microscopic print. During the Revolution, microscopic messages were sewn into the stars of flags and carried to the battle fronts of the war. The family and husband of Betsy Ross might have had Masonic connections. Imagine that Betsy was familiar with The Talisman of Saturn and decided to use five-point stars rather than six. "On 29 May 1777, Betsy Ross was paid a large sum of money from the Pennsylvania State Navy Board for making flags." We can imagine that Betsy Ross was involved in an on-going system for sewing secret messages into flags. In 2010, maybe someone could find an old flag and one of Franklin's "solar microscopes" and discover the secret message that was sewn into a star. What would be a good message? --JWSchmidt 20:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
