have contained $4,000 square miles.
Theodore I.,who succeeded Ivan, ac-
quired territory from the Swedes,
and also pushed his conquests be-
yond the Ural mountains; and at his
death, in 1893, the Russian sway ex.
tended over 10000 square miles.
On the accession OF Michael L., in
1913, the extent of the Russian en-
pire may be taken at l50, 900 square
miles. Peter | by his numerous
conquests, materially increased its
extent, and at his death in 1925, it
comprised 282,45 square miles.
During the reigns of the Expresses
Anna Ivanovea, Elizabeth and Cath
erlne Ii large lamentations were MADE
so that on the death of the latter, in
1766, the Russian dominions extend
ed over 1852, All square miles. The
Emperor, Paul l., added Georgia to
his dominions. Alexander l., con-
quored Finland and annexed other
territories, increasing the extent of
the Russian empire before be died,in
1925, to 365,582 square miles while
Nicholas L., by the campaigns of
1925 md 1929, secured to Russia the
khanates Erivan and NAH tchovan,
the districts of Ordubah, and the
pashanc of Acchalizic, raising the to
tai extent of the Russian empire TO
367, 112 square miles. Thus since
the reorganization of the Russian
sovereignty under Ivan III, come
400 years ago, the territorial domin-
ions Of Russia have increased to
thirty-fve times their original size.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD, "OANADA."
The origin of the word Scandals
curious enough. The Spaniards Wis
tied this country previous to the
French, and made particular search
for gold and silver, and finding none,
they often said among themselves
"Aca nada,, There is nothing here.
The Indians-who watched closely
learned the sentence and its meaning.
The French arrived, and the Indians
(who wanted none of their company,
and supposed they were also Span-
iards on the same errand) were anx-
ious to inform them in the Spanish
sentnce "Aca NADIA" The French,
who knew as little of Spanish as the
Indians, supposed this necessarily re-
curing sound was the name of the
country, and gave it the name of
Canada" which it has borne ever
since.
