RUSSIA AND Bll'.'l`AlN.
The Russia of 200 years ago, in the mid-
dle of the reign of Peter the Great had a
population of 12,000,000; the Russia of to-
day has 130,000,000 people. The Russian
Empire is next to that of Britain the
largest in the world, and after Britain
respects the contrasts between the two
greatest world powers are very great.
The vast territory of Russiiiis compact
and continuous. She has no colonies, or
,over sea possessions. From her far
northern capital her armies can march on
£101
8,650,000 square miles.
The British Empire in its territorial
formation is the exact opposite of this.
Its insular head is located in two small
dots upon the map of the Northern Sea.
Far beyond the ocean on every sides lies

The Russia of today is making gigantic
strides in material developement, in the
construction of vast railway and canal
systems, in completing internal commun-
ications, in organising 8'.1‘ea`t manufactur-
ing industries. She issteadlly evolving

lpossessed herself ot Constantinople long
ago and been wholly dominant in China.
