1t Is not improbable that the early
parz of the new century will see all
distinction between Europe and Asia
as separate continents abolished AS
matter OF fact. they are geographic
ally one continent, as a glance at the
map will show. They are now rapidIv
becoming one politically. as well. The
great Russian empire binds them in
one at the north. The British empire
makes Asia European at the south.
and in the Middle Kingdom almost
every day sees new acquisitions of ter
ritory by European powers. We are
within measurable distance of the time
when China, Persia and the few other
independent states of Asia will have
gone the way of India and Turkestan
Then, with one common ownership. as
with one common geographical forma-
ton, the two continents may we'll he
reckoned as one. "Eurasian" is the
term which has long been applied to
the great plain which extends over a
large part Of both continents, and also
to the Aryan race, which. originating
In Asia. is now dominant in Europe.
A few more years may see the united
continents figuring upon our maps az
Eurasia." What then will follow?
