HOW RUSSIA GROWS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Now that Russia has laid hands on
Mongolia. 1t seems a good time TO take
stock of the growth of her empire.
For the latest addition Is n big one II
Is over 1.250.000 square miles in area
just half of tine whole Chinese EN-
pire, a territory as big as China prop
or itself AS the area of the Russian
empire at present is $500. 900. the lat
est addition is actually an increase Of
ono seventh. or Is per cent. at one
stroke. This is only the last and great
est step i'm a long process. In half a
century Russia has got hold of abou:
one third of the continent of Asia, a
pretty large piece of the terrestrial
globe. This is the worlds record" in
empire building, and is likely TO re-
main so. for the process is still I'M
checked. The story of Russia's eX-
pansion in the left half century is an
amazing one. Her first great Asiatic
acquisition was at the expense of China
in 1858, shortly after the Crimean war.
when she carved the great Amur terri
tory off the north of the Chinese en-
pire. A further slice OF this part of
China was got two years later, max
ing total acquisition of nearly l,OO0.-
600 square miles.
After this Russia left the Tlr east
alone for thirty years and turned
her attention in the meantime to Cen
trail Asia. by the end of Alexander
lis reign the Russian outposts had
reached the frontiers Of Persia and AL
ghanistan. Khiva. Bokhara and other
Turkestan provinces had been absorb
ed. Then came the absorption of the
Tekke- Turcomans, and in 1884 the
Merry oasis. When this process was
complete Russia had added almost an
other 100000 square miles to her EN-
pire. a te: ritory nearly twice as big
as Austria Hungary. Heart. the gate
OF India" was the next goal. but Eng
lard threatened war. There was a
move eastward TO the Pamirs, but there
was another British growl. Under the
present Car the process has been fas-
ter than ever before No monarch in
history has Increased his territory at
such a rate. First came the Trans
Siberian railway. which brought the
far east within reach. then the "pene
tTation" of Manchuria-over 100000
square miles of territory with a popu
lat!on of 2l,OOO,OO0: that b., twice the
area of the United Kingdom with near
~ half it's population. Today IL is
Mongolia. tomorrow doubtless North
ern Persia, which may amount To an
other 100000 square miles. Totalling
mp the rough figures given above, we
have about 100000 square miles add
ed To the solid territory of the Rus
sian empire in about half century,

eEDouIN's THREE TREASURES

There are always three things up
per-most in the Bedouin's mind-his
gun. his horse. and his wives. The
most modern arms of precision have
replaced the primitive spear which UNI
I'll few years ago, was the usual
weapon. The Bedouin is quick to
realize the efficiency of modern wea-
pons, and soon becomes an expert
marksman. So much has the spear
fallen out OF favor that the bearer OF
one would be ridiculed in his own
camp. Such pride has the BedCuin in
his weapons that even in his leisure
hours he sits fully armed. examining
and cleaning each piece In turn. maxi

goes into ecstasy over what he terms
the beauty Of the scene and concludes
thusly:
kid Mccoy assembled the steps with
perfect ease. He could well affopd to
wear n coat which did not. perhaps
come up to the height OF fashion. The
word elegance seemed to have been
specially created for this descendant
of the great Olympic athletes. II was

as some of the primitive depict 1t, nor
the languid grace &C decadence Far
from either. il was with majestic.

walked and carried his head: his
strength. broad shoulders, straight fig
ure, conveyed an impression of health.

was TO behold this Hercules, slim like
a young tree. this pugilist with
muscles of iron who carried himself
like a prince i'm the middle OF the
ring. ] should have liked to see the
expression on the faces OF the various
young handles who idle away their
time around our elegant bars or OF our
poor young actors, who had hitherto
believed fondly that n man can buy
elegance at his tailors. hut elegance
