Manufactures in Poland.

Warsaw has a population of 675,000. In ten years this will be doubled.* Besides being a distributing point for wliat Asia wants to send to Europe, it is a manufacturing city. It makes sugar, leather, cotton, wool, iron, gold ami silvefware, and shoes for the rest of tlie continent. It sends more than a third of a million dollars’ worth of beet sugar aloue In a year to America. Warsaw's outlying neighboring city, Lodz, known as the Polish Manchester, Is fast gnining on its English rival. Its thousands of spindles turn out cotton for tlie world. The industrial and comm< rcinl impulse tlint has characterized Russia'of the present generation Is nowhere more strikingly evident than in what was the old kiugdom of Poland, and particularly iu its ancient capital, Warsaw.
