Great Bell OF Moscow.

Nowhere else in all the world is
here a single Enclosure that contains
so much of interest as the Kremlin at
MOSCOW. Within its walls, for thou
sand years, writes William E. Curtis
in the Chicago Record-Herald, has re-
sided the head of. the Russian govern
ment and the Russian church.; from
1T has proceeded all civil, military and
religious authority in the greatest des-
potlsm that ever existed, and in it have
been Matched and carried out the
bloodieSt conspiracies that have ever
defaced the history of civilized men.
1t saw the end of Napoleon's endeav-
ors to make himself dictator of Eu-
rope. He came there filled with pride
and glory and purpose; he left, de-
feated and broken-hearted man. To
me the most interesting historical OBJ
Ject In all Europe is simple shaft of
granite which rises from the roadside
near the town Of wilma on the western
boundary OF Russia. 1t bears two in
scriptions in the Russian language On
that side of the shaft which faces the
west are these words: Napoleon
Bonaparte passed this way in 1912
with 100000 men," On the other side
racing east is the inscription: 'Napo-
leon Bonaparte passed this way in
1872 with 5000 men" The history of
the most disastrous military campaign
ever undertaken is told in those two
sentences

kremlin is the Russian term for cit
adel. There is a kremlin in nearly ev-
cry Russian city. The Kremlin of
MOSCOW occupies the summit of a hill
rising from the center of the town and
is surrounded by an ancient and pic
turesque wall, which was built many
centuries ago. Within the Enclosure
are tie palace of the car, the head
quarters of the government, the resi-
dences OF the ministers, the headquar-
tiers OF the army, with the garrison of
the city, four or five churches, the &C.
clesiastical department of the Russian
government and number of mu-
seums, picture galleries, armories and
various other buildings.
Lying on either side of the roadway
are SIS cannon of various sizes, all of
which were captured from Napoleon's
army in 1872, or were abandoned by
him in his flight. He did not capture a

gray and wrinkled veterans on the
pension roll, act as sentinels, watch
ing at the beautiful structure from sun
rise to sunset. This adds pathetic
interest to the place.
What is known as the treasury con-
tains probably a larger value of per
sonal adornment and princely baubles
than has ever been assembled else
where. For 500 years it has been the
custom for almost every successive
car of Russia to have a new throne a
new crown and a new scepter and a re-
gala of one of the orders to which he
belongs. These are used only at the
coronation, which always takes place
in the Kremlin. At the close of the GER
emory they are placed in the treasury
with the valuable gifts received by
each particular car at the time of his
coronation and during his reign from
his fellow sovereigns or other persons.
Thus in the treasury you have an cpl
tome of the history of the Russian en-
pire written in gold, silver and pre-
cious stones.

merate the wonderful and beautiful
collection. There is a succession of
crowns upon pedestals standing be-
fore the empty thrones of those who
wore them; also the crowns and
thrones of Poland, Siberia, Georgia,
Astrakan, Kazan, the Crimea and other
nations which were formerly independ-
ent, but have by force of arms been
added to the Russian empire. All are
covered with jewels, some of them
among the largest and the most pre-
cious in the world-"crowns upon
crowns, thrones upon thrones, scep-
tiers upon scepters, rivers of rubies,
cascades of diamonds, oceans of
pearls" someone has said. The pres
ent car decided sensibly not to have a
