The whole government Of Russia has

burg the reception of the emperor upon
his return from this war. After leaving
his carriage to go to his palace the people
r crowded around linn 4, and pushed him
about, as Americans would politician. tce,ii
The reception was the most enthusiastic 1,
ever saw, and he seemed to enjoy 1t thor
oughly. tis true that some of the poorer
classes of Russians are very ignorant, and
and the nation itself is not so far advanced
in civilization as other European nations
are, but it must be considered what a vast
AREA OF population there is to reach and
civilize. The resources of the country are
infinite. In the neighhorhood of the
Caspian Sea there are rivers Of petroleum
running away, and the mineral wealth OF
the country is enormous. But the Rus
slams have not the energy which Americans
possess, hence the great bulk Of this wealth
lies undeveloped. They import petroleum
from this country. The people are more
conservative and careful in taking risks
than Americans are, although many rise
from the lowest conditions to positions Of
afiuence, and some make their fortunes
rapidly. A shrewd, Ignorant fellow will
crop out there, and become rich, just as
they do in America. They have not the
great inventive faculty of Americans and
other peoples, and they are not very quick
to adapt the improvements Of other ma
tions to their own use. '@ For example, in
their immense grain trade they do not use
elevators, but handle this product alto
gether with shovels. They lose time in |
this way, and when their grain does get
into the market it is generally dirty and
sells for less than it would otherwise bring;

The use Of compressed mir for barome-
trio purposes is not, as supposed by some,
b recently, discovered principle, but new
and innious applications of tile same have
been devised. Years ago, an English in
ventor proposed to produce an ipvariablo
amount of compression Of gas for this pur-
pose by means Of on invariaLle weight
compressing, in a vacuum, q miniature gas
reservoir carefully made air-tight by gid
Ping; the pressure of the air and that of tile
column of liquid would thenvary invcrsely,
hnd, by employing water or oil in the tube,
the same amount Of variation in the height
of the column might be obtained by such
o contrivance in tube offorty-two inches
|iong, similarly as is obtained with water
barometer having q tube of thirty -four feet
in length. The same inventor also pro-
posed the employment Of bulb with q
very minute aperture ut the top of the
barometer tube, by which to permit the
necessary access of air to the top of the
column of liquid-the alleged advantage of
this contrivance being the prevention Of
constant and but momentary variations in
|the height of the, column of liquid,
owing to the passage Of momentary as
cending gusts, which would otherwise
cause such constant and deranging oscilla-
lions.
