complete satisfactory census of all the souls in the
country, no adequate plans were made when the
republic planted on this side of the Atlantic
For that every decade saw hurry and
scurry to count the population, great confusion,
distress in some sections and general prevalence OF
conditions bordering chaos. So, for more than
a century it continued thus each year. for the pre-
ceding administration, it is stated, did not care
about giving the next successful party anything up
which the caption of 'spos' might be hung
lit is declared
So nobody went after a real census system very
strongly.
But modern ideas have been injected into the
counting process and the gigantic move for per-
manent bureau having succeeded, to
have which will enumerate, speedily,
curately and give results to the people in the
shortest possible time. The establishment Of per-
manent bureau will also bring about the perfection
of more accurate, faster and far better ideas at
later dates. Each decade will changes for the
best. it is declared by those in power at Wash

census bureau and these do far greater work than
the old style counting devices in use when the
job started nine years ago.
There are two styles of machines-one is the
card punching device and the other the tabula tor
The first punches the holes in the census cards
which are arranged much in the conventional
card index. The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechan-
ica means adds, cassiies, and makes lid totals
from the cards, which pass through the device
faster than the eye follow them. Both ma
chimes are essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success.
The new card punching machine, which is a
great improvement upon the old system, is
electrical contrivance. Hitherto the operator
compelled to play upon it like typist, but to-day
all that is necessary is to touch the key desired,
press a lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards as long the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher capable OF sending out 300
cards each day while the new automaton attains
a speed of :, 500 and saves the operators nerves.
Another feature of these new machines is that

THE gas is OF an excellent quality.
IL Is almost odorless and makes a hot
blue flame. There is 70 pounds of

amendment If carried, will permit the
