It eon not be denied that in some respects Russia h the greatest aad most powerful nation in the world, its ter

ritory and its population being greater

than that of any other on the globe. U oeeupiea more than one-half the area

of Europe, and its vast possessions in Asia are three times greater than in

Europe. It is a gigantic wonder amoiir nations with its 8.000,000 of

aouare miles of territory, its iou.uw,

000 of inhabitants and it grand army of 3.000,000 men. But about and

around all this dory and greatness

hangs rather the barbaric splendor of the Oriental than the culture and prog

ress of the' European. The whole
