Monaco lies upon the West Riviera,
about nine miles from Nice. 1t has an
area of eight square miles, being only
a few miles long, while its width is

the solid blue of the Great Seas wa
ters, with the radiant blue of the azure
sky, Monte Carlo is a rarely beautiful
place in which to pass holiday,
whether one is interested IN the casino
with it's gaming tables, or whether he
despises such forms of amusement.
The weather is always mild, restful,
luxurious. 1t seldom burns on the one
hand, or chills on the other, in Mon
AGO. There is enjoyment in the sun
shine, in the breezes, in the colors and
the clearness of surrounding air and
water. Weather in this play place of
all places always sits lightly upon one,
as lightly and as deliciously as
pleasant dream.
Famed for its gaming, and much
sought for it's international charac-
ter, Monte Carlo has served widely in
yet another capacity. 1t has been the
maneuvering grounds for people from
all nations and of all vocations who
have felt the need of patrons, connec-
tons or recognition. Potential states
men, together with artists, writer's,
professional men of an ambitious kind,
and men of many businesses have
focked regularly to Monte Carlo as the
place of their grand strategy in the
campaign to attract attention.
THE show place of Monaco is the
casino, with its saloon of play and
tense, gold-hungry players. Here are
wen the profits which support the
state, its prince and a great part of
the natives. The chief games are rou-
lette and trente-et-quarante, and IN
dividual fortunes from all parts of the
world pay certain tribute here,
while many small boards have been
saved yearly for fortune and Monte
Carlo. The natives of Monaco are for
hidden by strict regulations to play.
The stakes for roulette range from
81 to $1,000, and the stakes for trente-
te-quarante run from 81 to $4,000.
1.-THE casino is operated by the So
'ciete Anonyme des Bains de Mer. 1t is
capitalized at about $6,OOO,00O. So val
liable is the concession for the worlds
gambling headquarters, that the com

avo an annual rent of $4,000, to pay
all the expenses for the government

maintain the palace grounds and char
liable and religious institutions, ana

Germans and Russians
Struggle For Important
Manufacturing Center

I of artisans after the Polish uprislngs
of 1894, 1881 and 1868, and German
customs barrier on one side, with a
Russian customs barrier on the other,
have operated to greatly retard the
growth of the governments industrial
Importance.
There is a well-developed agricul-
ture in the government, despite the
fact that its soils are very poor, and
that in some sections there are period
ical drownings out of the country by
the Bug and Vistula. The lowlying
grounds are Doggy. The government
embraces an area of 6,505 miles, and
houses a population of about 100000.
The land is mostly low and fiat, brok-
en- only here and there by low hills in
the south and by the high-terraced
banks on the left of the Vistula in the
northwest. The Vistula forms the
northern boundary of the government,
and is it's principal artery of trade. On
the west, it is bounded by the Prussian
frontier. The herd-grazing of east
ern Prussia is carried on into the
government of Warsaw, and combined,
its herds Of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine number about 100000 head. In
the eighteenth century, when the City
of Warsaw, next to Paris, was the most
brilliant city in Europe, this fiat plain
was unusually rich in herds and in
geese fiocks, though almost bare of
manufactures.
Monaco.
war has struck its hardest blow at
the existence of Monaco. Without
blockade, without even being made an
object of hostility, the industries of
this little principality have been en-
trely swept away. Monaco, the
worlds smallest state, situated on the
brilliant Riviera, earned it's livelihood
from gaming and catering to visitors.
Gamblers and other seekers after
amusement have now left it's famous
pleasure city, Monte Carlo, and with
them have gone all visible means for
the support of Monaco's citizenry.
