far; as railway enterprise is concerned
for a long time to come.
But Jn taking these large views.
says Moody's Magazine, we have for
gotten that Russia la two and a half
Urries as large as all the United States
put together with a population more
than half as large again hs-our turn;
that In territorial extent It is more
than twice aa large as all Europe;
that It stretches scross the world for
170 degrees of longitude nearly half
way around the globe and that It In
cludes one-sixth of the land surface
of the planet
It Is not surprising that In such a
country railways Bhould have had a
large development, that already there
Is a considerable mileage and that the
prospects In this direction seem to
have no limit. In the future Russia
and the United States are likely to di
vide the railway empire of the world
between them.

the manufacture of gloves for women.
and In several of the great cities the
rat killing Industry is assuming pro
portions. The rat tn Scandinavia, a
well as the Bpectes known as the Nor
wegian, a big bothersome rodent be
cause of its fighting proclivities, U
particularly valuable for the purpose
named. The bodies can be converted
into fertilizing material. Thus, . In
'many commercial centres abroad, la
the rat being killed by the many ,
thousands not because it is a menncs
to public safety, but because uses
have been found for the heretofore
worthless hide. The time may come
when the rat will be hunted assidu
ously In this country, not only be
cause of tbe money that's in it, but
because it Is our enemy. Indianapolis
