CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Details Of the E~numeratioA to ne

GreAt Empire.

The first OF the army Of the 10000
officials who will have the task Of

A year hence, says the London
Mail, the census Office, q department
Of the registrar generals otice, will
be hard at work arranging and com
piling the. schedules gathered from
every inhabited spot Of England,
Scotland and Wales Before that
time, however, q vast amount Of pre-
liminary work has to be done. For the
purposes OF the eensus Great Britain
Is divided into GAO districts, each I'M
der . superintendent registrar. Each
district will contain from two TO 10
subdistricts, approximately about
1000 In all, and every subdivision Is
again divided into enumeration dis
triots Numbering In round figures
some 10000.
The schedules will be distributed by
the enumerators-one enumeration 20
each enumeration Misunderstanding the
week preceding Sunday, March 81,
1901. On that day every oceupier Of 4

One Of the latest and most wonder
full developments in brass making Is
the use Of the diamond die by means
of which ingot brass is to-day drawn
down to wire Of the ineness Of nine
tsnths Of a thousaudth part Of an inch.
Steel may also be drawn nearly as fine,
and the two products when completed
are as Ane and soft ~ the threads Of .
eobweb, and are as wavy aud glossy as

The brass hair Is Of a beautiful au-
burn color, while the steel Is Of an iron

a human hair, and is Of value for me-
chanical purposes. being In great de-

development Of the diamond die to its

now possible IL limited only by the
ability to hold together as II comes

The diamond die IL made Of a fake
diamond looking not unlike a bit of

R D OF THE WEST.

In the character Of the men who
care for the herdS and fiockS can b
found an interesting subject for study.
The cowboy, II he be the genuine ART,

Ainslee's, in a man who daily does fests

At a wild west show. In his chase

A coyotes bark startled the nervous
animals TO their feet, and they were

While Asia has the loftiest noun
tains in the world, It also possesses
the deepest and most extensive land
depressions, several of them, as Is
well known, sinking below sea level,
SO hat II the ocean could flow into
them they would be filed to the brim.
In the deepest parts of most of them
water now stands, forming small seas.
Others are destitute Of water. Among
these is the Lukchun depression In
Central Asia, concerning which Gen.
Tillo writes, in the Proceedings Of
the Russian Geographical society"
that in places II sinks as much rs 400
feet below sea level. This sink-hole
in the middle of the largest Of the

illusions without Respect
for Logic.

The Chinese never reason by spalo-
gy. They seem incapable OF il. A Chi
ness boy. II asked why his sister did
not come to school, will answer: MY
sister did not ZONE to school," and
consider II a full reply to the ques-
ton. Ask Why the Chinese build pa
godas 10 stories high, and the nswer
will come: "Ths Chinese built them
go" The idea Of cauEe and effect IL
extremely haGy In the celestial miAd,
says a London paper.
The nearest approach TO reasoning
Of which the Chinese mind Is capable
will be found in their ~expositions Of
religious doctrines. Here, naturally,
there is much wisdom displayed, but
little reasoning compared with other
religions. In n characteristic pas
sage a writer speaks Of the fables Of
mythology and goes on 20 say; "Why,
since the ancient books that described
these timea were burned BY Tsiu,
should We misrsprsssnt those remote
ages and satisfy ourselves with vague
fables? However, a. everything sr-
cept Heaven and earth must have had
= cause, II is clear that they have al
ways existed and that cause produced
oil sorts OF men and beings and en-
bowed them with various qualities"
Otherwise the promising beginning
and the absolutely illogical termina-
toni Such nonsequiturs as these are
common enough. The origin Of all
things is ascribed, not i~llogically, to
dual powers, the yin and yang. repre-
senting the masculine and the fsmi-
nine principles. This Is developed into
an ingenious philosophy and is intelli.
gible to the western mind, But al.
though in this idea Chinese philos'
ophy bears a resemblance to that Of
the Egyptians and the Hindoos, the
likeness cannot be carried far, and II
is safe to say that among civilized
races there is no more illogical, nc
more unl~maginative, philosophy thar
that Of the Chinese.

which causes q vast deal Of trouble

system Of reckoning time. A Turk
