The lot Of the political prophet
Iis not always happy one, as SEN
ator Eugene Hale probably realizes
now. Shortly otter Harrison's cleo
ton he wrote the Portland Me. } Re-
publican Club aletter erumerating
the blessings that would result from
Republican success. Among other
things he said: "No mote army
blankets made at British factories /;
no more river and harbor works
given to British contractors This
was criticism of certain acts OF
the Cleveland administration, Of
which much capital had been made
in the canvass just then closed.
The Senator's prediction has, in
deed, kept the word of promise ia
the ear, but that is all. Under this
Administration contract has been
awarded to an English firm fol-
$4,000 enmaled bricks for the Con.
gressional library, on the ground
that they are cheaper. During the
campaign Mr.. Harrison expressed
profound contempt for cheap cloth
Ing, saying, ia cheap coat makes a
cheap man" Under these clrcum-
stances the claim that British
bricks are cheaper seems wholly
irrelevant. -Courier-Journai

Who Discovered the Microsoope2

Nj, Cow, an Italian savant, has presen-
ted paper to the French Academy of
Sciences, in which he claims for Calico
the distinction of having discovered the
microscope, as well as the telescope. He
has found book printed in 1910, accord
ing to which Calico had already directed
his tube fitted with lenses to the observa-
tion of small near objects. The philoso-
pher himself stated, shortly after this
date, that he had been able to observe
through lens the movements of minute
animals and their organs of sense. In a
letter, written in 1914, he states that he
has with his microscope "seen and OBJ
served flies as large as sheep, and how
their bodies were covered with hairs,
and they had sharp claws" The discovery
of the microscope is usually assigned to
the year 1921, and the invention is attrib-
uted to Dfebbel, Dutchman.

THE NEW CENSUS BUREAU BUILDING.
The last census report comprised
twenty-five very bulky quarto volumes,
some of them very nearly as large and
heavy as Webster's unabridged diction-
airy. When placed upon shelf side by
side, these volumes, with maps and other
documents, measure eight feet from end
to end 1t is not only to take the census,
and take it accurately and comprehen-
sively, but to compile this tremendous
statement of results that Porter is ap-
pointing his staff of experts and the
clerks who will assist them.
am able today to give an estimate of
the location where the census of next
June will place the centre of population.
1t is curious study and an Interesting
showing. / have roughly drawn map
for that purpose, carrying this wandering
point through the States of Maryland,
Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky into Indiana,
where it rests at the present moment.
BY the "centre of population" is meant,
of course, the human centre of gravity
the pivot on which the inhabitants of the
United States would balance if they could
be weighed on an imponderable plane
where they stand, and il all were of the
same weight. 1t is not important that
anybody should live at this centre popu-
lation."

WESTWARD COURSE OF THE CENTRE OF

WESTWARD COURSE OF THE CENTRE OF
POPULATION.
This little map makes several surpris-
ing revelations, The first is that only
during thirty years out of u hundred has
this centre of population lain within the
so-called Northern States The second is
that it has all the while stuck closely to
the thirty-ninth degree of latitude. II it
had been a ring ten miles in diameter, in
place of my star, it might have been
strung upon this imaginary line and gone
whistling westward without once leaving
it in a century, 1t will be remarked, too,
from the position OF the star OF 1900,
when the Federal Government first came
to Washington, how near the fathers of
the Republic came to guessing at the 10
cation of the focus OF their interests in
1901, even before the results of the rude
census of 1880 were made known.
in 1890 this centre of population was n
few miles northeast of Baltimore. In 1900
some of the dark and bloody ground" of
Kentucky had been settled, and the
frontier was receding, and the star
moved through Baltimore and settled u
little north of Washington. In 1910 JEFF
ferson had purchased Louisiana and the
star moved to Harper'S Ferry. In 1920 it
went to Winchester: in 1890, with half u
dozen new States made, 1T migrated 100
miles westward; in 1910 it journeyed on,
and in 1850 landed on the banks of the Ohio.
Ohio, and in 1880 was in Kentucky. just
south of Cincinnati. 1t is now in Middle
Indiana; in 1890 it will be in Illinois, and
in 1910, if Powell's irrigation project pans
out, it will shine on the more or less pei
lucid depths of the Mississippi. The pace
OF its migration is now increasing. The
loss in New England, shown by the com-
ing census, is expected to be very strik-
ing.
Besides bringing to the management
of census such executive ability for the
rapid despatch of business as a successful
editor is pretty sure to possess, and the
knowledge of the relation of things as u
persistent student of economics ought to
acquire, Mr. Porter brings an unusually
wide acquaintance with public men and
the advantage of experience as one of
General Walkers aids in the compilation
of the Tenth Census. he has, moreover,
great physical strength and superb health,
a stocky, compact frame and large head,

THE ELEcTRIcAL INnIcAToR

Speaking of machinery I must not for
get to say that the census returns will
next year be. for the first time, in large
part compiled by machinery and tabu-
lated by electricity. In fact all of the flu
ture censuses of the world will doubtless
be managed in the same way. give q
cut Of this machine-the device of one of
the special agents of the Census Bureau.
The chief cost of the census is it's tabula-
tion, from the sheets returned by the
enumerators. In 1880 this work cost
g, 1856, 600, and If the same methods are
employed, will next year cost So, 600, 900.
The machine method consists in first re-
cording the data relating to each person
by punching holes in strips of paper IAN
electric on-conductor) and then tallying
these data, either separately or combined,
by means of mechanical counters operated
by lectro-magnets-the circuits con
trolled by the perforated strips. The ma
chine is patented, but as nobody will ever
use it but governments, the inventor will
not be likely to get very rich.
1t is already set up in the census office,
lying in wait for the schedules from the
enumerators next July.
Finally, the census will require vast
amount of paper-not less than fifty tons
for the preliminary work and 700 tons OF
cardboard for the work Of compilation.
