Marine Notes.

Coverack, Cornwall, May 2S.-The
ninth attempt to float the American
Line steamer Paris was made. this
evening, and proved an utter failure.
Her bow is absolutely impaled by the
rocks.
Five tugs were used In the endeavor to
tow her off. three others standing by for
an emergency. Her boilers. excepting
those used for the pumps, were emptied
to tighten the ship.
The effect of the strain Of last weeks
attempts Is apparent in the increase of
water in the engine room. Efforts to pull
her off will now be discontinued and II Is
proposed to concoet some new plan for
tightening the vessel.
The pertinacity of the attempts to tow
the liner has caused considerable sur
rrise among experts here. owing TO the
ilnpalement of the bow, as her removal
hy towing must mean. in the opinion OF
cxperts, the tearing or OF the bow.

THE FORTHCOMING CENSUS.

Hon. William r. Merriam, director
of the census, says that if there were
an effective way to do so he would be
glad to reach every farmer, fruit
grower, stock raiser, hOrticulturist.
viticulturist, market gardener, florist,
beekeeper, dairyman and pOultryman
in fact everyone raising or selling
agricultural products in the United
States-with suggestions in reference
to making the next census as complete
and valuable as possible.
He has chosen the most expert and
experienced men he could get for the
various divisions of census work: but
he aptly says that as a good threshing
machine cannot produce good crop.
his experts cannot turn out an acUur-
ate census report without complete
and accurate material. 1--WE must
depend, he says, upon the enumer-
ators and special agents for our mate
rails, and we hope that these enum-
orators will be the very best that each
community affords: but however com
petent they may be they cannot create
statistics. They must get them from
the farmer and producer. Right at
this point arose the chief difficulty ia
all previous cenSuSeS.
THE great majority of agriculture
lists" he continues, in explanation.
keep no books. no regular accounts of
acreage, products, expenses and sales.
Therefore, when the enumeration ar
riveS, they are compelled to guess at
the number of acres of the several
crops. the number of bushels produced.
the amount of money received from
sales, ETC., and. of course. guessing
does not comply with the law nor
give accurate results.
1.-THE law requires the census to
cover the products of the current year.
1899. Therefore, if | were able to
speak personally with every agricul-
turist in the United States. | would
ask him to begin now to keep COM
plete written account of everything
produced on his land. or consumed or
sold from it, the account to cover the
entire year 1899. If each individual
would act on this suggestion, and be
ready with the required information
on the arrival of the enumerator next
June, we would not only make the next
census the most complete ever pub
lished, but be able to lay it before the
people at al unusually early date

New York adopted a good roads law
in 1898, by the terms of which the
state pays so per cent of the cost of
improving the roads, the owners of the
AUDITING property Is per cent. and
the county IS per cent. 1t also
provides that if the petition for the
improvement comes from the town
ship in place Of the AUDITING owners,
the township is to pay the Is per cent:
1t would seem necessary merely to call
Senator McGillivray's attention to the
matter to secure the introduction of
suitable measures in 1901, either with
or without exhibit antitrust ''riders."
