Religion of Russia.

Christianity was introduced into
Russia in the ninth century. The Es-
tabllshed church Of Russia, to which
the great majority Of the inhabitants
selong, is identical in doctrine with
and is branch of the Greek church.
The liturgy used is the same as that
originally used by the church at Con-
stantinople, when Constantinople was
the capital of the Eastern Roman en-
pire, before the coming of the Turks.
This liturgy in the Russian church is,
however, not read In Greek, but in
the Slavonic language. The official
name Of the religion In Russia is the
Orthodox Catholic faith-the word
Catholic being used In It's general
sense, universal or worldwide. Sixty
six per cent of the Russian people are
of this faith, and the census Of 1915
showed population Of 1S2,1S2,600.

The Riqht Road.

Young man. you are a locomotive;
goa are thing that goes by power
inside Of you; you are made to go. In
fact. considered as a machine, you are
very far superior to locomotive. The
maker Of locomotive is man; your
maker is mans Maker You are as
different from a horse or an OK or a
camel as locomotive is different from
a wheelbarrow or cart or a coach.
Now, do you suppose that the being
who made you-manufactured your
machine and put into it the motive
power-did not make a special road
for you to run upon? My idea OF re-
ligion is that it is a railroad for hui
man locomotive and that just as sure
as il undertakes TO run upon d road
adapted only to animal power 1t will
bury its wheels in the sand, dash itself
among rocks and come to inevitable
wreck. G. Holland.

Tilted Block of Earth's Crust.

FL Salvador is the smallest of the
American republics. Its population OF
/, 100000 is closely packed in its 7,275
square miles. 1t really is a tilted block
of the earth's crust. Now and then the
crust settles down u little, or rises
little more, and buildings crash. Or
the earth may split open at different
localities, gulp down houses and hui
man beings and close again. When
ever this happens the slumbering vol
canoes are prodded and in their anger
yomit forth fire. Again it may be only

The EGYPTIAN Scale.

'che seven great tones of the Egyp-
ZION scale represented among the tenn
pie priests the planets of Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter. Mars and
Venus. The scale mystically repre-
scented also the seven days of the week,
the different keys indicated the gods
and goddesses of the old time. The
veil Of the old Egypt, says one writer,
has never been lifted. Nor can the
modern mind follow through all its
nazes that system of music, philoso-
ply, religion, astrology, astronomy and
nantheism of which one of the notable
expressions was the music drawn from
the harps and Tyres. From these mys-
teal sources have descended to US the
modern orchestra, the stringed choir,
the violins, cellos, BASES, violas. The
most direct example-the harp-is no
more now than a mere adjunct.

MUCH METAL GONE TO WASTE
One Hundred Million Pounds of Cop.
per Used in 100000 Shells Or
dered by Allies in United States.

Up to date the warning allies of Eu-
rope have placed orders for 100000
shells in the United States. This means
a lot of valuable metal going to waste,
for these orders require total of 101,
100000 pounds of copper, 46,750,000
pounds of spelter and 173,250 pounds
of lead.
A British 18-pounder, or 3.3-inch
shrapnel, requires pounds 91s ounces
of brass, containing &c to 20 per cent
of copper, or nearly 3% pounds. A
small copper band around the shell
adds Az ounces, making the total cop
per 404 pounds. Spelter consumption
per shell of this size is about 1877
pounds. Lead bullets weighing 1892
pounds constitute the metal load of the
projectile.
One pound of copper is used in max
ing "a Lebel rifle cartridges. Every
125 of these cartridges consume
pound of spclter and small amount
of nickel. Steel consumption per shell
varies more widely with the different
types. A finished 3.3-inch she'll contains
6 pounds 1914 ounces of steel, the steel
shell weighing pounds SIS ounces and
the diaphragm 91a ounces.
Just 33 complete chemical and me-
chanical operations have to be gone
through with great accuracy, precision
and carefulness, before white cotton,
mixed with sulphuric and nitric acid,
becomes smokeless powder.

is BUILDING OF MANY HUES
st. BasiI's Church in Moscow Con-
structed With View to Avoiding
All Symmetry in Color or Form.

The Kremlin, perhaps the most IA
nous spot in Russia, stands on Krem-
lin hill, nearly in the center of Mos
COW. The mill is roughly triangular
in shape and nearly hundred feet
high, though it seems even higher.
looming above the city. The walls of
the Kremlin circle the hill and the
golden domes of the churches within
may be seen above them from almost
any part Of the city.
Entering the Enclosure through the
Sunday gate, you find yourself facing
two monster bronze figures of aspect
disconcertingly fierce. They are images
of the two men who drove the Poles
from Moscow 300 years ago, and have
been gratefully remembered ever since,
although their methods were somewhat
crude and merciless, as perhaps be-
fitted their time. The average visitor
gives small thought to these two
bronze figures, however, for at the
end of the square beyond them is one
of the most startling bits of building
that Europe holds.

amazing mixture of every form and
color that the Imagination of the archi-
tect could evolve. 1t is hard to call
it ugly, and it is certainly not beauti-
full. Every hue of the rainbow is rep
resented on its walls, though rich reds
and COLDS predominant. Every one of |
its numerous domes and towers is of a |
different shape and size from its fell
lows. 1t is q sort of architectural |
and yet it is undeniably eff |
fective. 1t is perhaps the only build |
ing in the world constructed with a
careful view to avoiding all symmetry |
