Russia embraces one-sixth of the
land surface of the world. It is more
j than fifty times larger than Japan and
j has a total area of S.650.000 fquare
raiies. Half of Europe and the
i whole of Northern Asia are included
: within its boundaries. It has a great!
er coutinous an a than any other na|
tion in the world. European Russia
has an area of 2 095 610 Kjuare inilee,
! about thirteen times larger than that
! of Japan.
| la population the Russian Empire
j surpasses Japan nearly threefold. Ac,
cording to the census of 1893 the
: empire has 129,562,7x8. Within the
: the last half century the increase in
j population has been tremendous. In
j 1815 it was estimated a 45,000,000.
j At the present time it is nearly 150,I
000,000. The empire has seven cities
| with a population of over 200,000, and
they are St. Petersburg, 1,489,570;
Moscow, 1,147,145; Warsaw, 641,935;
Odessa, 414,218; Lodz, 116,146; Rigo,
i 260,717, and Kiev, 255,699
j
j The Russian navy at the beginning
1 of the war with Japan consisted of 18
; battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 19
j cruisers,protected or otherwise; 7 torI
pedo gunboats, 2G destroyers, 53 tori
pedo boats (built or buiidiQg) and
! several submarine torpedo boats. A
! certain portion of the fleet is con:
lined to the Black sea, so that Japan
opposed by only 8 battleships, 5 arj
mored crusiers and 8 protected cruisI
ers, representing a total tonnage of
| 141,173, or seven-tenths that of the
! Japanese fleet. The Russian ships
| do not throw as great a broadside as
I do the Japanese. Russia has no dock
i yards in the East where she can re!
pair her ships, except at Vladivostok,
j It has been estimated that the toI
tal war footing of the Russian army,
I aftefcalling out the reserves amounts
; to 5,250,000 men, mere than ten times
, that of Japan. Toe soldiers are drawn
i from the ignorant peasant class and
| the officers from tbe governing ranks
of society. Should Russia call out
all her own troops she will have 78,827
officers, 5,180,958 soldiers, 613,400
11 horses and 4,00u cannon. Germany
; is the only nation that exceeds Rue:
eia in its military equipment,
i There are nearly 4.000 islands in
> | the Empire of Japan, with a total
' j area of 162,153 equate miles. Only
[ | 5G0 islands, however, are inhabited,
| | the remaining isles being mere heaps
I j of rocks.
r | The population of Japan was estij
I mated at 43,152,998, according to tbe
j last census, tafeea ia 1898. Tuere are
I four classes, in the following propori
tions: Imperial family, 53; nobility,
, | 4,551; gentry, 2,105,696; common
. j people, 41,050.508 In addition are
! j the 3,000,000 inhabitants of Formosa
i j so that the present population is estii
i mated at about 50,000,000. Honcc
) | the chief island, is the most densely
: populated part of the empire, having
| 381 persons to the square mile, and
i j its southern districts have 475 mI
j habitants to the square mile. Of re?
| cent years there have been rapid cen
1 j centiatios of population m cities.
) There are 78 towns, according to the
- census of 1S98. having a population
* ! of 20,000 or over.
* | Japan's navy consists of six battle
1 | ships, six armored cruisers and four
- i teen protected cruisers. Of the bat
tleships four have a displacement d
more than lo.QUO tons each. The
i remainder are of more than 12.0UI
1 tons. Ail are supposed to have a
speed of 18 knots an hour. The
armored cruisers are of the same
size, just a little less than 10,00(
* tons. The protected cruisers range

; advantage of being able- to use her J
I own for titled ports as naval b*ses. I
' She has four well ((prped dockyards j
i capable of both cOLittrucling and re- j
! pairing ships. j
j The Japanese army has a war \
i footing of 421.000 men. Military j
service is compulsory, and the army, j
so far as military instruction is con- j
cerned, has adjpted Germany as a ;
model. The army is divided into |

Don't Want to G-o to Heaven.
A bright seven-year-old girl in the
city has two grandmothers, one of
whom is a Methodist and the other a
Presbyterian. The mother is also a
Methodist. The little girl goes with
her mother. The Presbyterian grandmother
undertook to indoctrinate the
little girl as to heaven. She said:
"Of course you want to go to heaven."
"No, I don't."
"But you. surely want to go to
heaven and be happy."
"No, I want to stay here with my
ma-ma and pa-pa."
"But all good Methodists go to
heaven and you know you are a
Methodist."
With a sigh and sorrowful expression
the little one said: "Well, I
don't want to go and I reckon I'll
have to join the Presbyterians."
