Thirteen Millions of Fighters.

A census Office bul letln of special in
terest just now is the one which contains
q table Of militia ages, because OF the e1
istence of a condition of affairs In several
States which approaches, if it docs not
constitute, civil war. The militia age Is
from eighteen to forty-four years, both
inclusive. Between these years man ID
liable to compulsory military SERVICE, ].
e., to be drafted or conscripted in the
event of war. This is big country and
q great many people live in 1t, but we
fancy it will surprise most readers 10
learn that the males within the militia
ages number 13,230,15S. Think of it?
Thirteen million fighting men NO
nation in ancient or modern times mas
ever possessed such potentiallty for war:
The vast host with which Xerxos invaded
Greece in his attempt to add Europe to
his Asiatic dominion was but handful
in comparison, and the great standing
armies Of modern Europe arc as but cor
poraIs guards. .,
militia age 10, AZ, ,0S6 are natives and
2,SS6, ,0S2, arc foreign born. The aggre-
gate numb of whites within the militia
age is 11,S0s, ,964, and the total colorod
1,426, ,4O4. The latter figures include not
only the negroes, but Chinese and all
other colored races among us, the Indian
Territory not being counted. The for
eisn born number 2,S06,0S2, of whom
2,7l7,S9S are white and SS, LII oolored.
The native whites within the militia ages
number 9,0S6,Oe6, of whom 6,774, go are
the sons of native parents and 2,31l, ,S0l OF
foreign. Two deductions may properly
be drawn from these figures. First, that
in a contest on the color line the colored
people would be in hopeless minority,
the odds being more than to against
thom and secondly, in contest between
native and foreign born citizens the latter
would be overwhelmed, the odds against
them being about 4 to 1. Happily there
are no signs of contest along eithor OF
these lines.

Florida Moss. .

The valuable moss Of Florida, says
Mr.. Harry Bomford, ebounds in the
hammocks and back lands. 1t is gather
cd chiefly by negroes. In its natural
state it hangs In strands from one to five
feet in length. The moss is gathered by
pulling it from the trees with long poles,
or by cutting the trees down and then
removing it. The moss is buried in the
earth for about a month, after which 1t
is dug up and dried and shaken and sold
to the local moss dealers for 81 per hun
dred pounds. 1t is then run through a
machine called a gin, which Is nothing
mere than cylinder covered With three
inch .pikes revolving between roll OF
similar stationary spikes. The aotiena
Of these spikes is 70 knock out some Of
As dirt and trash, but it doss not com.
plete the job. 1t is then shaken over a
rack formed of parallel bars, after which
it is pressed into bales Of about two hun
dred pounds each. Some Of tho moss
mills do all this work by hand except the
ginning. The moss, after having gone
through the above process, brings from
$3.50 to So per hundred pounds.
II, instead of allowing it to remain in
the earth for one month, it is left there
for three months, the entire bark OF the
moss Is pulled off and there remains a
beautiful black fibre almost exactly like
hair. The hair moss brings from S. to
81 per hundred pounds.
MI. Bomford suggests the treatment of
this moss as good field for invention. 10
thinks machine could be made which
would take off the bark, leaving the fibre
without the necessity of burying the
moss for 80 long time in the earth.
