COUNTED BY MACHINERY.
Facts About Each Person Will Be TabulRted for the Census
 by Electricity.

Our first census, made in 1795, showed the population of the United States to be 5,OOO,0OO, and the count cost Uncle Sam, who was comparatively poor then, one cent for each person. It IS esti- mated that the twelfth census, to be made in June, 1900, will show that our people number 75,O00,0e0, and that the item of clerk hire, in the census bureau alone, will exceed S5,000,000. Although the work of enumeration will be com pleted by the 1st of July, it will prob- ably be two or even three months later before the last of the schedules are received at the census office; for not only must they all be examined by the supervisors, but in many cases they will probably require revision because of some error or informahty. The actual counting of the people will not be done until the schedules are turned into the census office. The enumerators simply gather the facts, and the office force in Washington does the counting and the compiling, which is done by electricity. In 100 days all the facts relating to 75,
 100000 people will be tabulated.-Clif- ford Howard, in Ladies' Home Journal.

DEFENSES OF WASHINGTON.
Gen. Wilson's Report on Years Op- eratiOns and Armament of the
 Capital City,.
A Ripans Tal,ule.

Gen. Wilson, chief of engineers, has made report of the operations for the defense of Washington. These works are in charge of Lieut.. Col. Charles J. Allen and Lieut.. Jay J. Morrow, his as sistant. In regard to the defenses, Gen. Wilson says:
 "The defenses of Washington are To- ! cated at three sites-two on the left bank and one on the right bank of the Potomac river. One of the sites on the left bank is in charge of an ordnance sergeant; the ether two were garri- soned during the year.
 At the beginning of the fiscal year permanent emplacements were com pleted for four ten-inch guns on disap- bearing carriages and three eight-inch guns on disappearing carriages. One ten-inch E. l.. rife, intended'for tests of experimental parapet, had also been mounted temporarily for defense dur ing the war with Spain, with funds from the appropriation for national de fense.' This gun was subsequently, mounted on the platform built for test ing experimental parapet. In addition to the foregoing, construction was in progress upon two emplaccments for ten-inch guns on disappearing car riages and for two four-inch rapid fire guns, under allotments from the ap- propriation for national defense.' These batteries were entirely compIet- ed during the year.
 "Ccnstruction was commenced dur ing the year upon emplacements for eight 12-inch mortars, two six-inch guns on disappearing carriages, two five-inch rapidfire guns CT balance-pil- lar mounts, and two 15-pounder rapid fire guns. At the close of the year good progress had been made or all these batteries, with expectations that they will be completed during the present working season. An electric light and power station was completed for the works on the left bank, and construc- tion of plant commenced for works on the right bank. The torpedo store house in process of construction at the close of the fiscal year was completed and occupied, and work begun on an ex- tension to the mining casemate. The submarine mines planted in the channe! during the war were maintained for short time after the beginning of the year, when all the material was taken up, cleaned, repaired and stored.
 "A number of type B range finders were mounted in the completed batter ies, and steps taken for mounting those of type A. One battery commanders station has been authorized.
 "A number of minor repairs to the va rious batteries were made during the year, chiefly to slopes and parapets in- jured by the weather.
 "The experimental parapets, the tests of which had been delayed by the war with Spain, were kept in repair during the year. and the tests finally made June 29, 1899. 9."-Washington Star.
