mediately hehind its topcoat or armor
plate. 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.

The First Census Was Taken by Mose?
In the Wilderness.
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
