COUNTING THE PEOPLE.
First Census Proposal In England
Raised a Fine Row.

1t was in 1853 that proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son of the archbishop
of Canterbury and member for st,
Germans, introduced In thai year a
bill "for taking and registering an an
nual account of the total number Of
the people and of the total number of
marriages births and deaths and also
of the total number of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place In Great Britain" 1t was
Inevitable, of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiadS as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton member for York city, said;
II did not believe that there was any
set of men or indeed any individual Of
the human species so presumptuouS
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have just heard. | hold this
subject to be totally subversive Of the
=.
new bill will direct the imposition of
new taxes, and indeed the addition of
q very few words will make it the
most effectual engine of rapacity and
oppression that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover. an an
nual register Of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad with our
weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol
low the numbering. However, the
bill passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords, Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion 1t was
brought to a successful issue. The
first census of England and Wales was
taken In March. 1901.

A PENNSYLVANIA C1TY's SLOGAN.

[From American City, New York
seems to be famed. One feels they
must be very substantial resources to
justify being blaZoned on the clouds in
this manner.
Easton is the heart of the American
cement industry. Innumerable quar-
res dimple the hills, money is plenti-
full, and the stranger who may never
have heard of Easton before is anxious
to know more of this fearless town.
Thus 1t Is that the board of trade il
constantly engaged in answering in
Quiries and helping big and little fac
tories to make their homes in EastOn.
The huge sign, which is eighty feet
long, Is operated on Il tlaSher-that IS,
only part of it shows at a time. a
sign operated on flasher is not only
more effective than Il steady burning
sign, but it consumes much less cleo
tricity, the EaSton sign burning not
more than fourth the electricity
that would be necessary if all its lamps
were lighted constantly.
First two arrows green in color start
from the center and shoot in either di-
rection, indicating the eXpansc of the
city; then the red disk of a sun flashes
on and yellow rays rise in constant
ambitious flare. AS the sun dies down
the word "Easton' energies from it,
while below flash the magic words
"City of Resources" 1t would indeed
be a stole who could gaze upon this
without a thrill, and he must needs be
suffering from acute aphasia who could
forget it for many a day.
In Alabama the capital city has
huge municipal flashing electric sign
which cries to the passerby, "MontSom-
cry Your Opportunity" An enormous
electric skyrocket shoots upward and
gracefully curves to the center of the
sign, where it bursts into dazzling red
and green streamers. AS the stream
ers are eXtinguishcd the city slogan
flashes forth. Below it burns a great
key, indicating that Montgomery's en-
terprise is the key to the SOuth's pros

MEASURES OF LENGTH.

curste lnterferometer.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Sevres, France, the standard
meter of metal, which IS the standard
length of the world, is kept carefully
In an underground vault and Is in
spected only at long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care Is exercised
in guarding the standard yard meas
urement. AS 1t was possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
damaged in the course Of time, 1t was
decided a number of years ago to de-
termine the exact length of the stand
ards in wave lengths of light, which
would be a basis of value unalterable
and indestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter
ferometer was invented This instru-
ment represented the highest order of
workmanship and the greatest skill Of
the best opticians of the world. A
series of refracting plates were made.
the surfaces of which were fat with
in one-twentieth of a wave length of
light, with sides parallel within, one
second, representing the utmost refine
ment Of optical surfaces ever at
tempted.
With the interferometer perfected,
the attempt was made to make the

For over a year scientists worked to
secure this result and experiments
finally showed that there were 1863
1917 wave lengths of red cadmium

10 degrees centigrade. So great is the
accuracy of these experiments that
they can be repeated within one part

small is such a possibility of error tina :

business men organized a board of

industries for the city under a scheme
of providing them not with cash, but
with credit.
In order to impress as many people
as possible with the city'S advantages
it was determined to erect a huge cleo

the public service companies. Sugges-

When Thomas Dudley, father of the
first American poetess, Anne Brad
street, came to his deathbed, says the
South Atlantic Quarterly, he showed
where his daughter had received her
surprising gift by composing such fare
well lines as:
Dim eyes. leaf ears, cold stomach shew
My dissolution is in view.
Eleven times seven near lived have |.
And now God calls | willing die.
