The First Census Was Taken by Mosae
In tha Wilderness.
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

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
