Accord,ng to La Gazette G -ograp-
ique, of the geographical society if
Paris, tbe rumot that the < zar of
Russia will soon assume the addition
al Mile of emjperor of Central Asia is
confirmed. Tills publication asserts
tbal tbe ceremony of coronation will
lake place with great pomp at
Bamarcaud, in TurkesiaD, once tbe
center of soience and commerce tn
Asia, and the capital of Tamerlane’s
great empire.
Whatever objections England may
have to Russia’s rapid advance to
ward India, it can not be denied,
even by those who are most jealous
of Russia’s Aslatio enterprises, that
her advent into tbe countries beyond
the Caspian has greatly benefited
l hem. People can now move about
with some d, gree of comfort and se
curity, aud irade can be safely carried
ou over the steppes of the barbarous
TurcomaDs. Ruoh daring Journeys
as the ride to Khiva and the trip to
Merv, which made Burnaby and
O'D -uovau famous, are found now
by Russian explorers and by travel
er nke Lsnsdell to involve no
dangers ami to be comparatively easy
and agreeable.
Tbe social ohanges that Russia is
working out among the most untam
able hordes of Asia are quite remark
able. Its government influences
maintained by many military posts,
Its TraUB- Caspian railroad now com
plete between Kiaenovodsk on tbe
Caspian aud Band, its steamboats on
the sea of Aral; the schools tt has
opened at Tasbkeud, the explorers it
has sent over the country in every
direction, its vigorous efforts
to create a demand for
manufactures, are all helping to
change the conditions of life ou tbe
plateaUB of Turkestan, It has put Its
foot ou thelnlsmnus Turcoman slave
trade, which has desolated thousands
of homes in eastern Persia for the
purpose chi- fly of filling the harems
of Turkestau. Russia has closed the
slave markets ol Khiva and Bokhara,
released 46,000 slaves in Khiva alone
and sent them back to their bomee in
Persia. This has greatly increased
Russia's Influence in the shah's do
minions.
Political rivalry has not inspired
any other European power to emulate
the untiring energy with wbloh
Russia has for nearly twenty years
pushed forward her work of geo
graphical research and aggrandize
ment. It is within bouDds to say
that no country in reoent times bas
profited so much as Russia by geo
graphical exploration, and no coun
try baa been better served by its ex
plorers. Tbe scleutiflc results of
tbeir wanderings for years in tbe
wilds of Turkestan and Mongolia,
aud the courage, endurance
uud patience they have shown,
place Prejevalsky and
comrades in the first rauk among
travelers. They have surveyed the
shores of tbe Caspian and Aral seas,
the basin nt tire Oxua, a large part of
the elevated steppes of Pamir, much
of the country bordering on Afghan
latau, and they have made exteusive
Journeys iu Thibet, Mongolia aod the
Gobi Desert, A route for tne railroad

THE NUMBER OF VISITORS.
Sucn exact figures as are obtainable
Indicate that all tbe estimates of the
number of strangers lu Washington
iterday were much below the
actual number. Figures furnished
by tbe Baltimore aud Ohio and Penn
lylvauia railroads show that these
two roads alone brought from
through Baltimore 105,100
persons yesterday. Add to this cum
ber those who have been flocking to
tbe clly for several days previous
over these roads, and from 'he wsst
over the Baltimore and Ouio aud
over tbe Virginia roads and steamers
on the Potomac river, and it Is prob
able that from 200,000 to 250,000
strangers were In the olty yesterday
Many thousand still remain here,
elongated, than now. This fact, Dr
James Croll remarks In his work
Climate and Time,” would not of
Itself perhaps fully account for the
low temperature producing the glacial
period, but through physical condi
tions caused by It this term of severe
cold might be Induced. It Is always
assumed that owlug to tbe precession
of tbe equinoxes, the winter of tbe
nortberu hemisphere at this time no
curred when the earth was in aphe
lion, or at the polDt of Its orbit
farthest from tbe sun. Crcll esti
mates that the heat received then
this point would be so
much less than now that the mid-
winter temperature would he lowered
to aD enormous extent, ami not only
would the winters be much odder,
but also much longer, than now. Tbs
result of this would be an enormous
accutniflaiion of enow and ice during
tbe winter, which tbe short summer
would not suffice to melt. The leflu
ences which brought the ice age to a
close are eup;osed by Croll to be a
gradual lessening of the ecceutricity
of the earth’s mbit, the movement ol
equinoxes bunging tbe winter
solstiee of tbe northern hemisphere
back to perihelion, aDd the action ot
the ocean currents and tbe trade
winds. He supposes further that
tbe region ot the equator
was duriDg (lie glacial period
submerged, a fact which would tend
to the free motion of tbe wu-.ers, and
the increase of tbeaverage wuimth of
tbe southern hemisphere, and a still
further lowering of the temperature
on the northern half of the globe.
But the elevation of the land about
the equator subsequently caused a
deflection of tbeocian currents north
ward, and tbe creation of the great
current of the gulfsiream, which has
an enormous influence In the distri
bution of heat In tbe northern heml-
shere. But the important causes
bringing the earth up to Its pre;eut
temperature, like those creating tbe
very great depression of the giacial
period, were il.ose acting from with
out, ratio r than existing conditions
on the sui face ol the earth itself.

Wbfci I strike this bell," brM Bu«
periutenrieut Doty, of the Morris
street colored school, when I wus in
specting this branch of tLe public
school system of Charleston the other
day, “the noon lecess is over, and
everyone of our 1,400 boys and girls
is in duty bound to become motion
less, preserving whatever attitude he
may happen to be in at the time of the
bell stroke. You may be interested
to watch the effect.”
Bo saying he struck a button. Tbe
loud, sharp note ot au alurm bell re
sponded to the pressure and I step
ped quickly to the window. The ns
sortuient of grotesque positions to be
seen below beggars description. Here
a boy had a ball raised in mid air,
while over yonder stood auother lad
with hands extended ready to catch
the ball. In one place some young
sters were playing at leap-frog There
a couple of Ians were locked in
teeming death grip, havlug been
caught by the sigual iu the act of
wrestling. In one place an automatic
game of tag was illustrated. In an
other a girl had her arms extended in
the process of rope skipping.

“This is of course only a feature of
the discipline which we try to pre

there was a graduation of heads iu

not the slightest deviation from

The intense cold of the glacial pe
riod must not be regarded as caused
by conditions whlsb were at sll per
manent in their nature. The period
known to geology as the ice age was
comparatively recent, but there is
little doubt that similar periods of
great cold preceded it at widely sep
arated intervals, and that these were
not occasioned by any mere terres

by oostnical causes. The most gen

these remarkable conditions is that

as a form of ugliness bo unbearable
that we have to alter it every six

2,000 years, and Greek dress nearly a
thousand years, and wherever d^-ess
has been beautiful and rational it|has
lasted for a long time. Thetexljure
and color may have altered, butjthe
dress ha9 remained the same. Ah to
style, he had seen a bonnet composed
of nothing but a stuffed bird alight*

confidence of foreign countries. Tur

if Bismarck had advised Eugland to
