That is a quee method Of the census

the computation IL not the center OF

ing the calculation the census officials
consider the whole country as a plane

then the point Is sought where the
plane could be- balanced supposlng ev-

makes a resident OF the Pacific slope
count for more than a citizen of the

loRTH DISPATCH


One of the latest and apparently most
important and practical developments
in the line of electric communication is
the invention of Professor Pupln Of
Columbia university for the transmits
sion of telephone messages across the
Atlantic ocean and for other great dis
tances. AT NIL events the Bell Tele-
phone company Is convinced OF the val
ne and practicability of Professor Pu-
pins invention. as the company has
contracted to pay him 100000 for 1t
and besides will give the professor an
annual salary of $500 to supervise Its
introduction and operation.
The problem which Professor Pupin
has solved is that of maintaining cleo
iric energy In long distance transmits
ion. The invention Is simple. merely
being Il plan for renewing the electrical
waves by inserting every eighth of n
mile on the cable a coil of wire known
rs the ilductnncp coil. These coils act
simply as relays. giving the electrical
waves fresh impetus. Speaking Of his
invention. Professor l'upin says:
Sending a cable is a slow matter. you know,
Tor the rallc has to be charged at each click OF
the key. Each click exhausfs the current. This
las been attributed 20 what electricians call the
capacity OF the cable. The problem ! had to
