FATHER OF THE THOUGHT.
The common sense now almost inclines
towards the decision that these are due
TO the wish being the father of the
thought. Supposition upon such basis
is utterly futile. The complete silence
from the front and at home may be sig
niticant, as the wiseacres aver. but it
more probably represents mat period Of
preparation which precedes an impor-
tant movement
In other parts than the Tugeia the con-
dtions Of information are scarcely more
satisfactory.
There is an irconclusive vagueness re-
garding General French's reported inten-
ton to march on NorvaHs Pont with an
overwhelming force of infantry. While
the NEWS of sharp fighting in the neigh
borhood of Co1esberg can be fairly expect
ed within a few days, it is not likely that
1t will assume greater proportions than
reconnaissance and Skirrnishes for the
purpose of holding the advanced position
of the forthcoming main advance by way
of Bloernfontein.
General French is Strategtcally prohibit
ed from running any serious risk.

Kruger and Steyn creates an excellent

a larger scale, as there are Of course
more people to be enumerated. 1t
will embrace greater area; for the
first time the inhabitants of Alaska,
Hawaii, and Porto Rico are to be in
cluded in the count. Moreover, the
coming census will be the first in
which all the work of recording and
computing statistics is to be done by
mechanical means. Electric tabulat-
ing machines were introduced for this
purpose toward the close of the elev-
enth census, but in the coming enum-
Grafton they will be relied upon en-
tirely.
The thorough organization neces-
sary in order successfully to carry
through such an undertaking as this
may be appreciated when one reflects
upon the labor involved in counting
seventy-fve millions of anything-a
task that would require one mans uu-
divided energies for twelve hours
day during more than a year and a
half. In the case of the census the
labor is multiplied by the considera-
tion that the seventy-fve million units
are human beings, concerning each of
whom dozen facts must be recorded,
and that they are scattered over some
four million square miles of the earth's
surface.
The task of taking the census will
require altogether the services of more
than forty thousand persons. They
will be separated into two main di-
visions-the field forces, and the head
quarters staff in Washington.
The former will include by far the
greater number-nearly forty thou
sand, all told. These will be the emu
merators, who will gather the re-
quired information from all parts of
the country, and the superintendents
in charge of this branch of the work
The data thus collected will be COM
piled and prepared for publication by

When DR.. Temple (now Archbishop
of Canterbury was the headmaster OF
Rugby, boy came up before him for
some breach of discipline, and the facts
seemed so against the lad that he was
in imminent danger of being expelled.
He had a defence, but being neither
clear headed nor fluent in the presence
of the head-master, he could not make
it clear. He therefore wrote home to
his father, detailing at length his po-
sisition and his explanation. His father
very wisely thought the best thing he
could do was to send the boys letter
as it stood to DR.. Temple, merely ask
ing him to overlook any familiarity Of
expression. Apparently the father had
not turned over the page and seen his
sons postscript, for there DR.. Temple
found the following words: IF could
explain It would be all right. for
though Temple is beast. he is just
beast,r The bishop. in telling thiA
story, is accustomed to say that 1t was
one of the greatest compliments he has
eS-- received in his life.

Fourteen hundred pounds of turtle,
alivo and kicking, were included in
the cargo of the German steamship
Ernn, which reached this port on
Wednesday. 1t wasn't all one turtle,
to be sure, but that made it twelve
times as interesting for the crew. An
even dozen of the big fellows, each
weighing more than hundred
pounds, were unloaded from the Erna,
and some of them are undoubtedly in
the soup by this time. They came
from Hayti and San Domingo, where
they are plentiful. The crews of
tramp steamers catch them at night,
when they are asleep, turn them over
on their backs, and the rest is com.
paratively easy. Tanks filed with
sea water are arranged on the vessels,
and the turtles are thus carried to the
Northern ports alive. As they are not
subject to duty they constitute con-
siderable source of revenue as O side
issue.-Philadelphia Record.

on which to enter the name of each
person in their districts, together with
the information provided for by law.
Most of them can complete their tasks
within few days, and will receive
from $50 to $3.50 for their services,
according to the amount of work in
volved. As soon as the schedules are
completed and revised, under the di-
rection of the district superintendents,
they will be forwarded to Was hing
ton.
Here is where the work of putting
the census data into Ineligible and
valuable form will be done, and here
is where the tabulating machinery
will come into play. These machines.
by the way, are the invention OF a
former census employe, Mr.. Herman
Hollerith. They We're designed with
a special view to use in the census,
although they have proved valuable
for other statistical work.
By this system the statistics con-
cerning each person viii appear on a
separate punched card. About seven
ty-tive millions of these cards will be
required, therefore, to contain all the
data collected for the census.
The cards are numbered to corre-
spond with the numbers opposite the
names in the schedules. They con-
tain two hundred and eighty eight
symbols, each of which is an alb
breviation representing some fact
within the range of the census enum-
Grafton. They are punched by means
of an electric machine.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-01-15

upon the card. Wherever there are
punch holes the needles pass through
and dip into cup of mercury placed
beneath. An electric circuit is thus
completed, which moves up the indi-
Gators on the connected dials one
point and records the particular fact
indicated by each punch. hole. The
totals are always in view on the indi-
Gators, and are copied off on slips at
the end of each run. Each machine
is capable of disposing of five thou
sand cards per day.
The statistics computed by the ma
chimes will be copied on record slips
and turned over to another force of
one thousand clerks, whose business it
will be to make up tables and prepare
copy for the printers.
By the act of Congress providing
for the coming enumeration it was
stipulated that the four principal re-
ports-on population, mortality, agri-
culture and manufactures-must be
ready for publication on July l. 1902.
The Director of the twelfth cen-
sus is William R. Merriam, ex-
Governor of Minnesota. The actual
work Of preparing the statistical in
formation of the census for publica.
ton will be in charge of Assistant Di.
rector Frederick H.. Wines. Mr.,
Wines has had long experience in this
sort of work. He was in charge of
one department. of the eleventh GEN.

census of 1880. As assistant to Mr..
Wines there are five chief statisticians,

whom will be assigned one depart

the same in limits as the Congress

larger cities, however, there will be
but one superintendent to each city,
although his territory may include sew
eral Congressional districts. In Mas
sachusetts, where an efficient census
bureau exists under the direction of
the State authorities, there will be a
single superintendent.
The enumerators are expected to
start on their rounds on June l, 1900.
They will be supplied beforehand with

A novel mining enterprise is that at
Cook Inlet, Alaska, where some ex-
perienced operators are developing
the bed of Indian river for two miles.
This river is one of the principal trib-
utaries of Turnagain Arm. Three
thousand feet from the mouth of the
river a dam $50 feet has been built.
This dam has two gates, one sixteen
feet wide and the other ten feet. which
can be operated to allow of the rush
of the accumulated water. A great
force is thus set free. At an expert
mental opening of the larger gate, the
water tore through the dry river bed
below the dam, hurting trees. stumps,
and boulders two miles out into Turn
again Arm. In thirty days work
next season the operators hope to wash
the three tifths of mile of river bot
tom to bedrock, when will begin
the interesting operation of taking
out the gold. Paintings of dirt showed
from twenty-five cents to 81 worth of
gold per cubic yard, and even at the
lower figure it is estimated that there
are several fortunes in the two miles
of river bed which constitutes the
>laim of the enterprising operators.
