of counting machines. At fret glAnce the
mschiues remind one Of upright pianos.
They have handsome oak cases. aud each

some fifteen young women can count &C.

expected that when the work of counting
the census returns really begins there will
be seventy or eighty of these machines at
work. As fast as the returns come in they
are counted, although not so rapidly as
they will be, for 1t is necessary TO train the
operators in the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known As the
rough count" the returns for each dis.
trict are counted tsice. After being
counted on one machine they are passed
over TO another; and when the latter count
is completed the two are compared, and il
there are discrepancies the necessary cor.
rections are made.
The machines, which are the invention
of Mr.. Hollerith, and supplement his tabu
lstinz machines, are extremely simple. A
keyboard, resembling that of q typewriter
is at the right of the operator. Each key
has q number, from one to twenty. The
operator has pile of census she Gets at hel

over she notes the figures which indicate
the number Of members in each family

five members in family. she strikes a key
marked five. When key is struck ar

the hands on the dial in the framework in
