DESCRIPTION OF MOSCOW.
City is Built Upon Seven Fills-Krem
lin in Center.

Moscow, like Rome, is built up
on seven hills, but to the eye of
the traveller there is only one emf
hence Of any importance, that up
on which the Kremlin stands at the
very heart of the city.
On the central hill on the north
is the bank of the Moscow river.
The Kremlin is as conspicuous as
the Acropolis at Athens. Outside
the Kremlin there is the ancient
Kitaigorod containing the Stock
Exchange and principal places of
business, all protected by a second
wall. Next comes the third ring,
which is called the Bielygorod,
where the great houses and wide
streets and fine shops are to be
found. There is a girdle of fine
boulevards to mark the boundary
between the Bielygorod and the
fourth circle, which consisted of
Zemlianoigorod of the town of
earthen ramparts. Beyond the
earthen embankment is Fauborgs,
the fifth and last circle, which IS
not only by far the largest part of
the city as it stands today, but
which contains most of the work
shops and factories and railway
sheds.
Moscow, therefore, consists of a
fortress surrounded by four towns
on concentric circles, each with its
rampant, which today is practically
non-existent, except in the case of
the Krenlin and the Chinatown.

A small but belligerent dog was
left in charge of a buggy while his
master attended to some business
in a neighboring store. A large

along that way, and, seeing nothing
about the buggy to guard it except
the small dog, concluded to help
himself to some provisions he saw
in the vehicle. surprising that his
size would bluff the guard. To
his establishment. the small dog
did not bluff worth Q cent, but
on the contrary, made running
jump, climbed all over the bTindle

places within three seconds by the
watch. It was a great surprise
party to the brindle cur, and.

with howls OF pain, lie lit ont
