There Is a record of a census In China as far back as the year 2042 B. C. and of one In Japnn In tbe last century before Christ Under the con stitution of Solon the citizeus of Ath ens were divided and registered In four classes, according to tbe amount of their taxable property or Income. The Roman census was burdened with more statistics than any of these, how ever. It bad Its origlu under Servius Tullius, sixth king of Rome, and was an afTalr of much solemnity. Every citizen bad to appear upon tbe Campus Martlus and declare upon oath bls name and dwelling and tbe value of his property under tbe penalty of hav ing bis goods confiscated. The most ancient statistical record of a census Is found In the Bible. The census was taken by Moses In tbe wilderness, and, as shown by the first chapter of Numbers, the enumeration must have been very simple. 'Take ye,” says tbig account, “the sum of all tbe congregations of the children of Israel, after their families, by tbe bouse of their fathers, with the num ber of tbelr 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 num tier them by their armies." This census was an affair that must hare been soon over, lasting no longer than one day. being merely a counting of tbe heads of the fighting men The women end children and cripples and I tbe old men were not Included; "nei ther were tbe invites numbered among them.“ Those who did stand up to be numbered totaled 003.550. — New York World.

HEADQUARTERS FOR A Scheme That Is Said to Improvs ths Ssnss of Smsll. “The most striking fact connected with my school career," said tbe prep school graduate, “was a peculiar abil ity on the part of our commandant to detect tbe faintest odor of smoke In a room on his daily inspection Tbe school 1 attended was of the military l variety, and smoking was a rather se rious offense. No matter how much a room bad lieen aired or fanned with wet towels previous to tbe Inspection, the offender was always caught. “After I bad received my finishing touches and become a citizen 1 made so bold as to inquire from what pe culiar dispensation of providence tbe ability was given to detect one mole cule of smoke In a buudred cubic feet of pure air. The old boy smiled and. binding me to secrecy. Imparted the reason of bls wonderful ability. Then be took me to a boy’s vacated room and told me to wet my finger and rub my nostrils with it and sniff. Lo and behold, where before there seemed no taint in tbe atmosphere was now detected that smell of old tobacco smoke! Since then I have taught school myself and have used tbe trick occasionally, entirely for experimental purposes, however. “I have also sought tbe scientific ex planation. but with little success. It may. however, be somewhat analogous to the process of tasting. Yon know. It is lm|xisslble to taste anything that Is not dissolved in water or Is not a ; liquid itself. So the moisture on the nostrils must carry tbe small particles of smoke In a more or less dump state to the olfactory nerve ends and thus make the smell more apparent. At least this is tbe only explanation I bare ever found for the phenomenon. "The same thing can also be used for detecting other odors, and I have found It useful on a numlier of occa sions for this purpose. both In analyti cal chemistry, when only a small par ticle of a certain material Is available for analysis, and In detecting faint per fume from flowers that sre ordinarily quite odorless.”—Chicago Record Her- aid.
