thougQi a Targe share of it could just

THE REAL RUSSIA.
H Is Confined to a Vary Small fteotian
of the Vast Emoire.
In "The ftu-siau Empire. Today and
Testerduy." Nevln O. Winter says:
"In a strict seiim. real Uussia cov
ers only a portion of tbe more tbun
2,000,000 square miles that He within
the borders of tbe .continent Tbls
narrower definition would ' certainly
jllminnte Kinliiud. I'olund. the Baltic
provinces, : Bessarabia and tbe Caucs
sua and probably a part of the land of
the Don Cossacks, the jUiliueu and tbe
sections bordering on tbe Arctic ocean
ond the lower Volga. ' In other words,
the real Russia lias developed within
this narrower section, aud whatever
of : Russian rharacteristlcs : appear in
tbe eliminated sections have simply
been Imposed by tbe conquerors upon
a people alien by birth and language.
"Tbe actunl visible influence of Tol
stoy on Russia seems not to have been
great He was beloved and reverenc
ed by many, 'out no party claims or
has ever claimed hlra as a leader. Tbe
higher classes rejected him because of
bis opposition to all established gov
eminent; the peasantry were repelled
by bis diatribes against religion; tbe
revolutionists and anarchists repudiat
ed his teaching because be. bad no
definite plan to offer. His Influence on
thought and opinion in Russia will
not compare with his Influence in noa
Russian nations." x
PHOSPHITE NOT PHOSPHATE.
The Propar Sodium Solution te Use In
. . Bichloride Poisoning.
In a recent Issue of a well known
medical journal the statement is made
that mercuric chloride poisoning can be
trraitnd bv the use of sodium nho
phate with excess of sodium, blear ' J
Donate. Thus, 'editorially, tbe same i
journal soys: "Tbls solution'. It Is claim-; J
ed, instantly converts tbe bichloride to '
tbe mild chloride, wblcb can bo rcmov- J
sa by a dose or castor on. it is very
necessary tbat tbe sodium phosphate
shall be chemically pure."
"Attention should therefore again be
called to tbe fact" says the Journal ot
the American Medical Association,
"that the names 'sodium phosphate
and 'sodium phosphite' are so similar
that a serious error csn be made by
tbe misprinting or misinterpretation of
a niuele letter. Sodium nbosDbite bas
been suggested as nn antidote to mer-. J
curie chloride because It acts as a re-! I
ride Into calomolmercurous chloride 1 1
wbilo the phosphite Is changed to pbos-
phate. Sodium phosphate will have no I
such action on mercuric chloride be- j J
cause it Is already as highly oxidised 1
s possible."
'HEART STRAW." - "
Unusual Exertion May Cause It, and
So May a Fit of Temmr.
TO keep your temper, is rather a
good idea, said Dr. Strickland Goodall
In n lecture at the Institute of Hygiene.
Every time tbe heart contracts, be said.
Its force would raise a weight of two
pounds to tbe belKht of one foot and
It does this from TO to 140 times every
minute. .
Acute heart strain was difficult to
produce In a young, well nourished and
healthy adult but tt was very easy to
produce If the heart muscle was an
aemic or poisoned or wis the seat of
degenerative disease.
Running to catch a train Increased
tbe heart's work by 228 toot pounds a
minute. Ascending a staircase slowly
Increased tbe heart's work by 112 foot
pounds; ascending quickly by 1S2 foot
pounds.
Tho enormous amount of totnl extra
work done by the heart was shown In
the experiment of riding a bicycle up
hill, the gradient of which was one In
ten and the length 2.004 feet The ride
occupied three and one-half minutes,
and tbe total extra work done by the
heart was no less than one sod one
eighth foot tons.
A rest of half an bonr dolly would
ar in a yeaj 210.000 foot pounds of
work on tbe heart London. Cbronlcl
