This is Its special mackintosh, or, rather, waterproof, which acts as a protection from lire as well as water. In the ordinary way If u shot pierced the side of n battleship- water would pour in at the hole and possibly the fillip might sink, but this is obviated by providing a backing to the armor, (ireat secrecy is kept in the various navies regarding the material used and its arrangement. In many of the latest battleships, however, the coating is made of cellu lose, Avhlch again is obtained from the fibrous cocoa nut rind. Cellulose pos sesses the peculiar property of swell ing immediately if it comes in contact with salt water. Therefore the moment that water pours in at a hole at the sldp's side the cellulose almost in stantly expands and so closes the aper ture. Of course the cellulose Is es pecially treated in order to render it fireproof. A man-of-war has its vitality enor mously diminished if certain, portions of it become too cold, In much the same way as its human tenants. Ac cordingly its boiler and steam pipes are clothed with "jackets." In some case3 the jackets are made of ordinary blanketing, others of a fibrous clay-like composition or even of close grained wood. In general the material used for a ship's underclothing of this de scription consists of mineral wool. However, the great sh!p is more like ly to suffer from the effects of heat than from those of cold. There is al ways the danger owing to the newer typo of machinery employed that the powder magazines may get too hot. In the latest men-of-war the stores are surrounded by a thick coating of mineral wool. Mineral wool, by the way, has nothing whatever to do with wool, as Ir (-onse ts of a mass of snowy threads of a kind of glass. It is made by blowing jets of high pressure steam through the furnaces in the manufac ture of iron and steel. Enormous quantities of this strange variety of wool are used on board for the purposes of underclothing the bulk heads and the more delicate portions of the ship's body. This invaluable substance acts equally well as a pro testor from heat and from cold. It is such a remarkable nonconductor of heat that it is used for covering the refrigerators and the cold storage chambers and therefore the explosive stores. In the dockyards all men who are employed in packing the mineral wool In the spaces on the ships are obliged to wear masks. This is to prevent the ' sharp needlelike particles from being inhaled and so causing chest troubles of fatal character. The ammunition rooms themselves are kept cool by a refrigerating plant in addition to being clothed in mineral wool, the same applying to the ammu nition passages. The wool is also packed between the double bulkheads which separate the boiler spaces from the other portions of the vessel. Alto gether the uses of the mineral wool on board are extremely numerous. Even reindeer hair is to be met with on board in the capacity of a particular sort of underclothing. This material Is very light considerably lighter than cork, for instance and it is not so sub ject to decay. For this reason among Its many uses it is of great value as n niiinf for tl life buoys.

There Is a record of a census in China as far back as the year 2042 B. 0. and of one In Japan in the last century before Christ Under the con stitution of Solon the citizens of Ath ens were divided and registered in four classes, according to the amount of their taxable property or income. The Ron an census was burdened with more statistics than any of these, how ever. It had its origin under Servlus Tullius, sixth king of Rome, and was an affair of much solemnity. Every citizen had to appear upon the Campus Martius and declare upon oath his name and dwelling and the value of his property under the penalty of hav ing his goods confiscated. The most ancient statistical record of a census is found in the Bible. The census was taken by Moses in the wilderness, and, as shown by the first chapter of Numbers, the enumeration must have been very simple. "Take ye." says this account, "the sum of all the congregations, of the children of Israel, after their families, by the bouse of their fathers, with the num ber of their names, every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel; thou and Aaron shall number tbem by their armies." This census was an affair that must have been soon over, lasting no longer than one day, being merely a counting of the heads of the fighting men. The women and children and cripples and the old men were not included; "nei ther were the Lcvites numbered amoug tbem." Those who did stand up to be numbered totaled C03.550. -New York World.
