EURASIA.
Europe and Asia May Some Day Be One
Continent.


Is Asia, as distinct continent, to
disappear? The question has al
ready been raised and the term Eu-
rasia suggested to cover the two grand
divisions, hitherto separate, but con-
stantly being brought into such close
relations that the distinction ceases
to make a difference. 1t becomes al
most insistent, says the New York
Independent, as one studies the map.
The old boundaries are rapidly los
ing all significance. The Ural noun
tains are within what is known as a
European province and Russian maps
cease to change their color as they
cross the Caucasus. In all probabili-
ty the Caspian will ere long be but a
Russian sea and when the same power
accomplishes its purpose of securing
Constantinople, with the Balkan pen
insula on the west and Asia Minor on
the east, the last vestige of CONT
mental boundary viii disappear. Is
it sufficient that while it is possible to
make a map of Europe alone, of At
RIGA, c. America, it is impossible to
make a map of Asia without includ-
ing, at least, the greater part of Eu-
rope within its scope?
With the boundaries national and
race distinctions are to a corsidera-
bic extent disappearing. Wherever
Russia goes she not only conquers,
but assimilates, and England, while
leaving far more of local independ-
ence and fostering far more strictly
native development, still places dis
tinctly European stamp upon every
country that she dominates. As these
two practically control the develop
ment of the continent, it cannot be
long before the national differences,
which in default of the disappearing
physical boundaries can alone define
the continent, Will cease in great
measure to exist; not that India will
ever become England, as Siberia is
already, and Manchuria undoubtedly
will be, Russian; but the difference
will be less continental or racial, more
distinctively local, such as may fairly
mark different sections of the same
continent

A LOVE LETTER.
One Written by Henry VIII. to Anne
Boleyn. z

Sir Benjamin Stone obtained permits
sion to photograph various ancient
documents preserved in the vatican
library relating to episodes in Eng
lish history. Some of these, which
have not hitherto been accessible to
the general public, save in an abb
breviated form, are. Of almost 70
mantle interest, as, for instance, a
series of manuscripts dealing with
ecclesiastical events of the reign of
Henry VIII, the most important of
which is a treatise signed by his
majesty, in geply to the preachings
of Martin Luther, and in vindication
of the seven sacraments. This
treatise was sent by special ambas-
sailors for presentation to Pope Leo
X, the author having appended in
his own handwriting a famous greet
ing that @Henry, king of English,
sends this work and witness of faith
and friendship to Leo X" and, on
receipt of it, the pope conferred upon
Henry VIII. the complimentary title
of defender of the Faith" dignity
confirmed in 1924 by further bull
issued by Clement VII. The docu-
ment last mentioned is one Of the
"Goulden Leagues" formerly pre-
served in the Pyx chapel, Westmins-
ter, and is now one of the treasures
of the Record office
A photograph which may attract
even greater notice, however. is one
reproducing the text of love letter
in French, written, in the kings own
hand, by Henry VIII. to Anne Bo-
leyn. This is signed with a drawing
Of a heart, in which the letters GA.

scribed "H. no other seeks Rex"
The following is translation:
'|The approach of the time which
I have so long expected rejoices me

phshment cannot be till the two per-
