MAGNITUDE
Of tne Fishing Interest In Four Kustern
States.
New York Evening Post: The mag
nitude of the fishing interests of
Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and
Pennsylvania appears in the facts
stated in a bulletin recently issued by
the United States Commissioner of
Fish and Fisheries. In Maryland the
industry gives employment to 42,812
persons, exclusive of those engaged in
canneries, packing houses, transporta
tion, boat building, making nets, and
other implements. The total amount
invested in property used in taking fish
and oysters in Maryland waters is $5,-
821,010. Virginia employs 28,216 per
sons and has $2,891,536 Invested in the
business. The value of the product in
Maryland In 1897, including 7.254,934
bushels of oysters, was $3,617,308, and
in Virginia $3,167,866. In Maryland
17,139,459 pounds of alewlves were
caught, 1,321,280 pounds of perch. 5,-
799,563 pounds of shad, and 9,500,000
pounds of crabs. The largest item in
the Virginia catch was 178,656,362
pounds of menhaden. The Delaware
and Pennsylvania fisheries are natu
rally smaller in extent, but the invest
ments of the latter amount to $1,601,-
528, and of the former $407,469.
Three pints of liquid a day is suffi

Vegetable Compound has done for me.
After first confinement I was sick for
nine years with prolapsus of the womb,

took your Compound all through, and
now have a sweet baby girl. I never
before had such an easy time during

THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
THERE ARE REALLY TO BE TWO
COUNTS OF THE POPULATION.
The Preparations Now Making In Wash
ington For the Stupendous Work-
Some of the Oiicatioiis—An Army of
ICmployes Needed.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Govern
ment is getting ready to spend $8,000,-
000 or $9,000,000 on the twelfth census
of the United States and for 60,000
positions to be filled hundreds of ap
plications are already being received
daily at Washington. While the gen
eral plan of taking the census will be
the same as was adopted in 1890 the
Government will profit by past experi
ence and will conduct it on a much
more practical plan than heretofore.
In preparing the reports there are
really two counts taken of the popula
tion. The first by enumerators, who
make their canvass from house to house
and from farm to farm, noting the
number of persons to each family in
connection with other information; the
second count is taken at the bureau.
It would be the task of years to ascer
tain the number of people in the coun
try if the usual methods of addition
were followed, but the bureau brings
into use a device which allows 100
clerks to get out the totals iu a few
days. This time they will probably
oomplete additions within ten days.
One of the rooms in the census
bureau will be fitted up with electric
tabulators, each of which is connected
to a keyboard regulated by one of the
counting clerks. Each tabulator is
arranged to register from one to forty.
As the reports of the enumerators are
received, piles are placed beside the
operator, he picks up the first, glances
at the figures marked in a certain cor
ner, touches the key on which that
figure is marked and the correspond
ing figures appear ou the face of tlie
tabulator. By comparing these with
the ones on the report he knows
whether he has registered accurately
or not. At the same time the total
number registered appears iu another
space on the face of the tabulator. If
the family comprises seventeen per
sons, that number is registered in ad
dition to the 50,000 or more which
may have been counted. It i 3 calcu
lated that no family will exceed forty
persons, including the children, broth
ers and sisters and other relations who
may be living in the house. Iu case
the number runs above forty it must
be added separately, but this seldom
occurs. When it is stated that 100 of
these machines are being worked at
the atme time by counters, who finger
the keys almost as rapidly as if they
were working a typewriter, an idea
may bo gained of the speed U'ith which
the work progresses.
RAPIDITY OF POPULATION COUNT.
Iu the last census some of this force
counted 48,000 persons daily. They
were among the women clerks, how
ever, who obtained a much better rec
ord for speed thau did the men who
ranged from 25,000 to 30,000 persons
each daily. It is expected that this
year fully 10,000,000 persons will be
counted daily at the rate of nearly
2,000,000 families, which, as already
stated, ought to complete the work
within ten days.
The canvass from house to house
will begin at the same time all over
the country. To carry out this part
of the census properly, the country is
divided into 300 districts, each in
charge of a supervisor, who has the
appointment oi the enumerator. Al
together about 50,000 of these enuner
ators will be needed. Any one who
is fairly intelligent and who can read
and write is qualified for the position,
and this army will be made up princi
pally of those who have influence with
the supervisors, either through Con
gressional representatives or other
wise.
It is not au easy undertaking, as the
ones who canvass the cities will have
many more families to visit thau will
those in the rural sections. The limit
is supposed to be about 4000 families,
although £iu some portions of the
United States all of the time will be
required for an enumerator to visit
fifty or sixty families, owing to the
distance between habitations in the
more sparsely settled portions. The
pay will range from two cents a name
upward, varying according to the dif
ficulties of the work, and is largely at
the discretion of the supervisors.
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS.
The Government is very much in
terested in knowing what proportion
of the people is not self-supporting,
also what portion is insane or imbe
cile, and it keeps a careful record of
; the men who have been in its military
service. The report, which is required
to be made of each f:\mily, however,
contains answers to about thirty ques
tions, which give enough information
to furnish a fair account, of every por
sou who comes under the enumerator.
The questions relate to the number of
persons in the family visited; their
names, relationship, color, sex, age,
condition, birthplace, number of chil
dren of the various parents; citizen
ship, the school attendance of the chil
dren, those who speak English anc
those who speak a foreign language;
if the dwelling is owned or rented or
mortgaged.
Ample space is allotted for this in
formation, and in a conspicuous space
iu the corner of the sheet is a place
for figures representing the number of
persons. Iu cities and larger villages
the canvassers call at the principal
factories and business places, aud thus
obtain additional statemeuts which
tend to verify those made iu the dwell
ings. Schedules assigned to the coun
try districts include general questions
about the number of acres to the farm,
acreage of cultivation, the average
yield of the principal crops and the
variety of staples which are raised.
MAY BE 25,000,000 SCHEDULES.
As probably 25,000,000 enumerators'
schedules will be received to be ex
amined and tabulated at the census
bureau the amount of work in this re
spect alona can be appreciated. Ifc
would form the b*.*is for a dozen vol
umes of a thousand pages each, but it
really represents but a minor portion
of the work, for the investigation by
the special agents is considered as im
portant and involves much more labor.
In outlining the operations of the
special agents the Government is of
the opinion that information of the
principal industries is of general pub
lic interest as well data of new aud
peculiar branches of manufacturing,
mining and the like. In the reports
on agriculture it also gives special at
tention to the cultivation of staple
crops, growing of fruits aud the rais
ing of certain vegetables. The fishing
business, which was considerably ne
glected in the last census, will bo ex
haustively investigated, especially as
to methods and production.
The various special agents, of whom
probably 2500 will be employed at
different times, are supposed to have a
technical knowledge of the work to
which they are assigned. For instance,
a bank clerk or bookkeeper will not
be sent to obtain statistics of steel
manufacturing, nor will a man familiar
with the manufacture of nails be com
missioned to obtain facts regarding
the textile industry'or the growing of
tobacco. A report 011 cotton manufac
turing in certain districts means not
only the number of mills, the capital
invested and the amount of equipment,
but the number, character and ago of
employes, the quality and quantity of
goods manufactured, the average mar
ket price, the power utilized, the cost
of the fuel, if any, the age of the mills
and the material of which they are
built, the possibilities for enlarge
ment and the general prospects. To
do work of this kind requires a man
who has an idea of the industry; other
wise bad mistakes will greatly affect
the character of the report. Some of
the special agents may be in the ser
vice only a few days, while others will
be hard at work possibly for two
years. One may have his field of labor
in a district a lew miles square, while
another may travel a thousand miles
in order to gain what he desires, for
much of his information must be ob
tained personally.
FIVE SECTION'S OF BUREAU.
Enumerators and special agents
comprise the field force. Supervisors,
however, have nothing to do with the
special agents, who receive all their
instructions from Washington direct.
To handle the thousauds of pieces of
literature which begin coming in a
few days after the enumerators start
out and which continues for two 01
three years, requires a large ollice
force. The present bureau will be di
vided into five sectious, each in charge
of a bureau chief, who, in turn, is un
der a chief statistician, of whom live
are appointed. These are the executive
heads of the bureau and are under the
general supervision of the director and
his assistant. Attached to the di
rector's ollice is a geographer and tbo
necessary force for attending to
the correspondence and reports,
which must be handled in the direc
tor's ollice proper. The great bulk of
the work, however, comes through the
five divisions. In general, it may be
considered that they digest and
■eparate the information. Every
schedule from the enumerators mid
every report from the agents passes
through so mauy hands and is ex
amined so mauy times. As it goes
from department to department each
department extracts whatever in
formation it dosires for tabulation.
The reports of the special agents are
very closely scrutinized by employes,
who are appointed especially for the
purpose of detecting errors. When
any are found the report either is sent
back to the agent for correction, or
efforts are made to obtain the accurate
data from the sources of the informa
tion.
ABUT OF BUREAU EMPLOYES.
To handle tlio necessary corre
spondence relating to these matters,
to correspond with the various super
visors and to attend to other mail
matter will require more than 100.
stenographers aud correspondence
clerks, in addition to expert book
keepers, copyists, ordinary clerks,
watchmen, janitors and messengers.
The mail matter will bo enough to
run a good-size postoffice and a branch
of the city postoflico service probably
will be established in the bureau, in
order to save time. Salaries '?ill
range all the way from S3OOO a year,
paid to the chief statisticians, to $240,
paid the ollice cleaners. The special
agents will average from $3 to $6 a
day for actual work, in addition to
what is necessary for traveling ex
penses.
*#At the end of the last census some
interesting conclusions were made as
to the quantity of the matter handled
by the census bureau. Its weight
was estimated at 305 tons and the
space it occupied iu the storage rooms
was 29,000 cubic feet. As there will
be a large increase iu the number of
reports ou the present work these
figures will give an idea of what it
means to take the coming twelfth
census of the United States.

PORTO RICAN KITES.
Hen and Womnn an Well an Hoys Inter*
ested In Flying Tlcin.
On the long slopes of brilliant green
grass that stretch away from the walls
of Cristobal Colon and dwindle down
into the city of San Juan, Porto Rico,
a great crowd of curious and noisy
men, women and children stand every
morning, gesticulating half madly at
one another, talking very fast and oc
casionally breaking lip into little
groups, more excited than the rest.
Above their heads there is always a
flotilla of big kites, ducking, diving,
floating upward and performing queet
tricks as they flirt and play with the
ocean wind billowing inward from the
southern sea.
One great red paper monster darted
swiftly upward above the others on
one occasion. Then a shout went up
from the crowd. It seemed to be
having a race with a blue one sailing
dangerously near. A hundred treni-'
bliug arms with outstretched finger?
were raised frantically in the air,
shaking five and ten peso notes, offer
ing bets on the red. The champions
of the blue made verbal pools, and sc
the betting went on amid tremeudou?
excitement, more noticeable than a
public demonstration in honor of the
Governor-General.
Suddenly the flyer of the blue, a
dirty little Catanian, unwound several
yards of string that guided his air
ship. Its tail was long, striped like
the hide of a zebra, and loaded with
strips of cardboard all along its grace
ful length. Little American flags
floated from the edges of the kite and
the end of the tail, for this Porto Ri
can was a diplomat, like his brothers.
And when he unwound the guiding
lever, at once the blue shot up, hud
dled close beside the red for a mo
ment, and then at once, with an in
comprehensible movement, it darted
across the face of its antagonist and in
a moment the latter was floatiug
downward uncontrollably toward the
ground. The sharp, curved knife
with which the blue was % burdened
had severed the string of the red, and
the latter had lost and the victori
ous kite flew upward like a newly
liberated bird.
The knife is a necessary and legiti
mate burden of every kite that enters
the betting ring, and this seems to
enhance the uncertainty of the sport,
and it requires a magnificent display
of skill to avoid the blades or to at
tack an antagonist. The skill which
men and even boys display in this re
spect is sometimes almost astounding.
In a country where cock-fighting is
a national sport, and where bull-fight
ing would be in vogue if the American
authorities would permit, where gam
bling is the chief pastime of both men
and women, it is somewhat surprising
that so mild a practice as kite flying
should hold the attention with the
power that it does. The element of
chance, however, and the right to un
limited and unrestricted betting, has
carried it swiftly into popular favor,
and so it remains to-day.
In Porto Rico Laurio, now moved
to Havana, was for years the potentate
of kites. He used to sit in the sun
there under the soft blue sky, way up
on the hill near old Cristobal Colon,
and he had his colored paper spread
about him, with little heaps of long,
slender sticks carved from the big
redwood tree. His pastepot stood
beside him, as he whittled with a long,
keen blado like a machete.
Power of tlie Lyddite Shell.
According to the reports of the
operation of the British artillery be
fore Omdurmau, lyddite, with which
the shells thrown into the city were
charged, is the most frightfully power
ful explosive ever introduced into
warfare. At one time 1 ICS men were
assembled in an iron mosque beside
the malidi's tomb. A lyddite shell
fell among them, leaving only twelve
alive. So terrible are the effects of
this explosive that while it was being
tested in England, 110 person was
allowed with a radius of 800 yards
from the point at which the projectile
was to burst. Within 400 yards, so
it is stated, so violent were the vibra
tions produced by the explosion of a
large shell that many solid objects,
such as masses of masonry, were re
duced to dust. It is manufactured
from the principal ingredient of all
coal-tar oils, carbolic acid. This is
treated with nitric acid, and produces
picric acid, an extremely destructive
explosive. Makers of projectiles have
always fought shy of picric acid, be
cause of the great danger in handling
it. The problem has been solved by
fusing it, and so increasing its power
tenfold. This is lyddite, which cau
be manipulated without fear. When
touched by a flame it burns brightly,
though without violent explosion. It
is only when confined and exploded
by detonation that its destructive
powers are exhibited.—Chicago Rec

A Well-Protected Hank Check.
Richard K. Fox, the printer anil
publisher, makes use of what is prob
ably the best protected bank check in
existence. In the first place, the
ground of the oheek is printed with a
lined tint-block, that prohibits any
scratching for alteration. Then the
dollars are punched out with a check
punch, and a strip of red paper is
firmly glued back of the punched
holes, to prevent any chance of filling
and repitnchiug. The amount of the
cheek is written in letters and also in
figures in spaces so small that the
writing fills the whole of each space.
As a final protection, the amount is
again written in red ink clear across
the face of the check, over the other
writing and printing. It would be
possible to counterfeit one of those
checks, but to raise one would puzzle

Lmy Way to Figure Speed.
A simple way to calculate the speed j
of a bicycle by the rider Is to multiply
the gear by ID and divide by 56. The •
result may be called seconds for this i
particular purpose. The number ol
complete revolutions made by either
pedal in the given number of seconds
corresponds exactly to the rate of miles
per uour. For Instance, if the gear be j
S4, multiplied by 10 and divided by 56,
the result is 15. If the pedal goes
around 20 times in 15 seconds the rider
knows that he is going at the rate ol
20 miles per hour. If the gear be 67.2 j
the result of the calculation Is 12 sec
onds. and the rider would have to push
his pedal around 20 times in 12 seconds
to equal the speed made by the man
on the higher gear by 20 revolutions In
15 seconds. To divide the gear by byz
gives nearly the same result 33 multi
plying by 10 and dividing by 53, but Is
not quite so accurate.
