is learning how the president relies upon

The Population Of Russia

The items, obtained from all the local

vince of Yakutsk are now published

pears from them as follows: European

be said that although the percentage of
births is very high in Russia, it took
nearly fifty years for the population to
double.
An English writer about Russia made
some time ago the remark that Russia
suffers from polism-that is, from a
want Of towns. This want has lately
very much disappeared. There are now
in the empire no less than nineteen
towns having population of more than
100000 Govt of which are two in Poland,
two in CaucaSia, and one gashkend, ia
Turkestan); thirty-five towns with pop
ulations from 500e0 TO 100000, and sixty
nine towns With populations Of from
$4,000 to $4,000. St. Petersburg has al
ready attaine dthe figure of ,267 023, and
Moscow approaches the million (9SS, 610).

The Moons Atmosphere

AS to the question of a lunar atmos-
phere, the eminent astronomers IN
charge of the Paris observatory, III. Loe-
wy and M. Puseux, appear 10 hold q
somewhat different opinion from that
commonly entertained by scientist Adj
hitting that the determination as to
wheter there is very little or none at
all ls not really necessary, there are ev-
licences, they conclude, that it must be
very rare-not more than one-hundredth
of the density of our own, the reasons
why this must be so being as follows:
That when the moon detached itself
from the equatorial regions of the earth,
it must have taken with it as a portion
OF its materials some of the material
chemical elements of the earth, or at
least those lighter ones that lay near the
surface at the time, it being probable,
however, that our planet retained the
greater proportion of the gaseous en-
velope. Such being the case, theweaker
provision. of free gases fell to the moon,
and this quantity would naturally Gil
minish as the moon material began to
solidify-the water would enter in to sta
BILE combinations with the elements OF
the soil, and without doubt such miner
ais a9 gypsum and lime would be form
ed, which imprison the water within SOL
