Remarkable Relics.
The Kremlin which rises in the
center of commercial Moscow is the
most sacred spot in Russian history
for here all the Cars have been
crowned for centuries. and here the
most sacred relics of the country are
preserved. Here are the palaces and
churches, monasteries and military
barracks, and museums where jewels
of the rarest beauty and purest quail
ity are preserved. II is also the last
earthly resting place of the Russian
whose bodies are in vaults
beneath one of the churches. The
church OF the Assumption, where the
coronation of the Cars were held, is
one of the most richly decorated
places of worship In the world and
its treasury contains many venerated
relics, among them a written copy of
the Gospels dating from the twelfth
century, a nail said to be one of those
used on the cross and a thorn said to
have been taken from the crown Of
thorns worn by Christ.

began 10 rise in Moscow. In 1908 an
Italian architect was commanded TO
make plans for surrounding the city
with entrenchments
From that time on Moscow grew
rapidly in population, but its progress
was stopped several times by great
fires. Indeed, in reading the history
of Moscow one begins to think that its
early history consists of nothing but
descriptions of fires. One of the most
disastrous of these conflagrations oc'
curing in 1897. began in the poorer
section when an old woman piously
placed n taper before the ikon. which
was in her kitchen and then went out
to talk to a neighbor. The taper fell
and fire which burned for days was
the result. In 1912 the residents
themselves set fire to the city to save
it from Napoleon. who. as the result,
was compelled to leave in such a
hurry that he left severrl hundred
cannon behind. These are still on
exhibition in the grounds of the
Kremlin-the royal section of the city
which is set apart from the other part
of the town and surrounded by high
wall.
Holy Gate.
There are five gates to the enclosure
and lie they are all interesting from
a historic standpoint the Gate of the

Holy Gate, is the most important.
Since the year 1926 light has burned
