Outline already forms for the eleventh national census with reforms to address 1850 shortcomings. The 1880 census was thorough but costly, ending usefulness before completion. Gen. Francis A Walker urges two year timing and one enumerator system under Carroll D Wright to publish population statistics early. Also notes aim to surpass 1880 in completeness.

Volcanic Dust and Ocean Life Across the Seas
A long examine of volcanic ejecta from East Indian and other vents shows how ash and rock feed ocean sediments and terrestrial soils, delivering phosphorus soda and potash that sustain vegetation. It argues volcanoes rival river input in shaping earth’s surface and life, with notable examples from Java district eruptions and Iceland to Etna. It notes the sea and soils benefit from these materials, supporting fertility and the planetary carbon cycle.
