CENSUS BUREAU EXHIBIT.
At Pacific Exposition Has Some
Interesting Features.

| Washington, ID. G., Oct. l.--Onc of the
interesting exhibits at the Panama-Pa-
] citc exposition is that OF the federal
census bureau. Its most prominent fea-
ture is the display of automatic tsbu-
lating machinery, but statistical publ
cations, some of which are OF great his
torical value, together with maps, charts,
diagrams, etc, are also attracting much
attention. Commenting on this exhibit,
the San Francisco Daily Journal OF Com
meree says, in a recent issues
aside from the general interest which
the exhibit of the United States census
bureau, in the palace Of liberal arts, is
arousing is the particular interest it has
for business men and manufacturers.
Complete statistics on population, agri.
culture, manufactures, forests, mines and
quaTies, mortality, and finance are
shown in the various publications Of the
bureau, together with reports by states
and counties and an analysis OF the fig
ures secured. One feature of the exhi.
