Assist the Natives.

NEW YORK, Mar. "A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
To relieve the great distress in Puer-
TO Rico caused by the hurricane. Sec
retary Root. by direction Of the presi-
dent has authorized the use of Sl,225,- =
900 remaining over from the emergency
war fund. This authorization was
made about ten days ago as the result
of a special report from Major General
Davis. showing the starving condition
of the natives.
The matter has been kept very quiet
because of the absence Of a specific
appropriation for this purpose, the
authorities feared criticism from those
not familiar with the true state Of af-
fairs in Puerto Rico
An amendment has been incorporated
in the Foraker civil government Puerto
Rico bill providing for the reimburse
ment Of the United States out of the
revenues Of the Islands "of any moneys
which have been or may be expended
ont OF the emergency fund of the war
department for the relief Of the in
dustrial conditions OF the island caused
by the hurricane Of August s. lS99.''
II is assumed b. the war department
that congress win make this authoriz-
alton before the sl.252.OOO has all been
expended
General Davis has been directed TO
utilize the money in clearing up the
plantations 50 that the farmers may
proceed with the raising Of crops.
This action will enable many natives
to go to work at once and thereby put
sufficient money into circulation to
temporarily relieve existing suffering.

. FACTS ABOUT
THE CENSUS.


How old are you? Are you married,
single. widowed. or divorced? Is the
house you live IN your own: and. If so,
is il mortgaged or free? What IS your
occupation, and how many months out
of the year are you employed?'
These are some Of the pointed personal
questions which viii be asked of people
during the taking of the twelfth census
Of the United States, which will begin
June / and end June -. 1900.
The years 1900 and 1901 pfill constitute
the greatest demonstrating era in the his
tory OF the world. Besides this country,
fourteen Of the principal European conn
tries are 70 count noses" but the census
OF the United States is to be more cx-
tensive than that Of any other nation.
The last census cost $11,211, 500, and
more than 10000 men were employed in
making it, This census will be even a
greater effort
The law requires that the census shalt
be taken between June l and June 10.
As two of these days fall on Sunday,
but thirteen working days are left.
The director of the twelfth census is
William p Merriam, former Governor
of Minnesota.
Several Objectionable questions which
were asked of citizens by census enumer-
ators ten years ago will be omitted this
time. For example, persons suffering
from any chronic disease will not be re-
quested to disclose that fact.
The answers given heretofore havs
proved utterly valueless from statistical
standpoint.
These are the questions which you will
be called upon to answer this year:

House during the reconstruction period,
and afterward was minister to Japan, a
post which he held dozen years, until
he was recalled by President Cleveland
in 1885. since which time the general
public seldom saw his name. 1t was dur
ing his service in Congress that the great
err part of Bingham's reputation was won.
His principal claim to remembrance was
through his connection with the impeach-

Earth,s Center.

The theory was but lately held that
the center of the earth was occupied

general view has been that the interior
of the globe, though partly liquid, is
for the most part solid. Some have
considered that q section through the
earth would show the following: l. An
outer solid env, lope. 2. A semifiuid
envelope. 3. \ fluid envelope. T. 4

which oyercomes completely the llque-

heat of the interior. This pressure is
estimated to be, at the center of the
earth, 7,1S0,593.750 pounds to the
square foot-a pressure so enormous
that no known substance could fuse
beneath it, Even hydrogen at the
