Japan and Russia Compared.

Although the population of Russia
is nearly three and half times as
great as the population of Japan, says
the Worlds Work, and its area near
ly six times as great, the japanese
have a million more pupils in their
schools than the Russians. They pub
lish more periodicals and books. AL
though Russia has nearly nine times
as many miles of railroad, the Jap
anese roads carry more passengers,
though less freight.
They send half as many again let
tiers by post as the Russians send.
With only about one-fourth as many
miles of telegraph wires, they send
nearly as many messages. Their trade
per capita is greater than the Rus
slams both in imports and in exports,
although the total trade Of the Rus
slams, of course, is very much greater.
The apparent financial and military
strength of the Russians is incompar-
ably the greater. Yet so cheaply does
the Japanese soldier live that Japan
may do more with little money than
Russia with more.
