NuSSIAN ARMY AND MARINE.

The Russian empire, occupying as II
does such vast extent in Europe
and Asia. needs for it's security the
greatest army now existing. The
present recruiting laws permit of mo-
biilzing. in case of war twenty-five
classes OF seven hundred and fifty
thousand soldiers each or, allowing
considerable margin, at least thir-
teen m.IiiOns. This immense army
must not be considered, however, as
an instructed and mobiizable corps;
~ may be admitted that about four
million soldiers ready for the cam
paigp could, " necessary, respond to
the call of the cEar. The emperor is
the supreme chief of the army, and no
parliamentary assembly has the right
to question his acts, Usually the
minister OF var acts as Intermediary
between the emperor and the troops,
and in such capacity his authority is
OF the greatest. To the ministry of
war are attached the higher council

Harry at one time cut large figure

with In all matters when the public

was county clerk in the days when the
office lapsed the cream. He was q
political boss of absolute power and
direction. He was not tyrannical IN
his sway. his influence was more or
the hypnotic kind and his directions
were implicitly followed as matter
OF course. Never was there a politi-
clan held in higher esteem by the gem

early days OF the county. Mr.. Adsit
notnot alone an important factor In
politics. but was also public spirited

iNDiA's LATEST CENSUS,

Effects OF plague and famine are
plainly visible in the census returns
of India. The central provinces,
which increased II per cent in popula-
ton during the decade In lSSi-1S91
decreased Say per cent in the decade
fran 1871 to 1901, II appears also
| that the native states have suffered
more than british territory. Though
one OF the former, kashmir. made the
substantial increase of l4.24 per cent
and others show lesser gains. the
group as whole has sustained a loss
OF l.34. In the British territory. on
the other hand, particular losses do
not prevent II general gain of 444 per
cent
For the whole country the poua-
ton Is put at 2y4 1850 as against
zSI ,3l1 900 in 1891. This would in,
dlcate an increase OF y.42 per cent.
but some OF the enumerations are
now made for the first time and the
actual increase is said to be only Las
per cent. as compared with il2 per
cent during the preceding decade,
sui, even with plague and famine
doing their worst. the brown people
OF India are in multitude as the sands
OF the sea, They nearly equal in
number all the people OF the three
Americas and Africa combined, and
make n remarkable showing in com
parison with the people OF Europe.
Complete figures are wanting for
Europe, Africa and America up to the
end or the decade, but the estimate
based on the censuses of 1890 and
1891 may may be brought into con
june,io with the present figures from
India as follows:

AFRICA :...,,rtri,f,,,.t, ,OOO
America s,,,fttt,','',,,.l2 ,fi3,0Uo
Europe .,,,,,...,..,.,....3 .35i ,2UO,oU
There have been large enough gains
in America and Africa together to set
the two continents above the Indian
total, but considering their area their
population Is not much To boast OF.
The single state OF Bengal, with an
area or 20S.473 square miles. a quar-
ter less than that of Texas, mas pop
uiation OF 74,713GOO. which 10 slight
iy create. than that of the Torty-hVe
states OF the American union. Now.
turning to Europe. we shall find that
though the population Of the entire
continent has increased more rapid
iy than midas during the decade. 1t
still needs hussia's millions 10 out,
number the orientais. Without Rus
sia all the other European powers to
gether could count only 259.4O0 900 in
the last decade. and they WIN fail
far short OF making up the difference
between that figure and 234.2GG. 900
at the present date.
