inter~sting Machinr to Ne Used In the
Forthcoming censu-.
we have on more than one occasion
published note on the complicated
electrical appliances which have been
manu- aetared to be used In taking the
forthcoming census. We now give a
brief description Of the process:
The census collector will call with
his printed blank. aud answers TO cues.
lions will be written In the usual way.
These sheets will then be placed be-
lore "A person who operates a machine
which may be likened To typewriter.
except that instead OF the usual ink
marks on PAPER. small round holes are
punched in a card. The cards. one for
each person, are about six and bali
inches in length by three inches In
width aud the particular position of
hole In card indicates au answer to
lone OF the questions in the printed
blank.
AZ many as $50 items OF information
can be punched out upon a card. al
though no one card would ever have
more than one-tenth part OF the whole
number. For example. no one person
can be classed as both white and black,
American and foreign born, aud IL
foreign born he can only come from
one country. These cards. when
punched. are placed one at time In a
sort OF press. and lever operated by
one hand is brought down, when a
series OF pins are brought against the
card. Whenever hole has been
punched In a card. the corresponding
pin passes through into "a mercury cup
beneath. completing AN electric circuit.
These circuits. one for every hole. pass
out to a large number of counters
which operate electrically, and which
add upon their dials all items OF the
same kind upon the same dials. For
instance, uil white men are counted
upon dial marked white male.;'
all business or professional people
upon dials which Indicate thoir par

cards. as they leave the press. are all
sorted by means OF an electrical sort
