RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Elm psmldor; a Russian Whose Wealth

E1im DsmidoT, Eussian who~o Wealth
Is of Recent Creation.
Like tho English millionaires, those
OF the cars dominions mostly derive
their revenues from landed property.
While the Briton. however, devotcs a
large part of his gross income toward
improving his possessions and to the
amclioration of the lot of his tenants in
one way or another, the Russian, on
the other hand, extracts every farthing
that he can from his property and
spends it upon himself, the result being
that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad to worse, that formerly fer
tile and productive estates have now
become barren and impoverished, and
that, while the peasantry are in state
of misery bordering on famine, the
mobiles themselves have been Obliged to
mortgage or sell their lands, and are at
the end of their financial tether. OF
course, there are some exceptions, such
as, for instance, the fousoupoffs, the
DemidoTs and the Schcremetieffs. The
wealth Of the Dcmidoifs is so vast, nc
corning to the New York Tribune, that
it is beyond calculation, md strangely
enough the fortune is of relatively re-
cent creation, its founder having been
country blacksmith in the days Of Pc
ter the Great. 1t was while travelling
in the Urnl mountains that the latter
broke one Of his most valuable English
pistols. A village smith mended it so
quickly and SO well that the car was
delighted and asned the mans name.

Expensive Bcals.

There are on the Pribyloh islands, to
the southeast of Alaska, probably from
four to five million seals. Considering
that each one OF these will eat at least
ten pounds of fish per day, the herd
will consume six million tons of fish a
year. AS some naturalists claim that d
seal will eat considerably more than
ten pounds per day, this estimate is
doubled by them. How expensive
these seals are viii be evident from the
fact that the amount of fish consumed
in England per year is less than six
hundred thousand tons, which supply
was valued at thirty million dollars.
At this rating the seals of the northern
Pacific get away with more than three
hundred million dollars worth Of fish

attitude taken toward women by English
