It occupies one sixth of Ihe total land area of tne earth, Its population is about 180,000 000, Its normal increase of popula¬ tion is about seventeen per thousand, Seventy-five percent of the people of Russia are engaged in agriculture. Fifteen per cent of Russia’s pop ulation live in cities. In the United States it is almost 47 per cent. In 1913 there were over 34,009 different cooks published in Russia during the same vear in the United States over 12.000. Only a sixth of the children of Russia are enrolled m its school. Moving pictures have made rapid advance in Russia; there are over 1,(00, such ot these places of entertfinment. Russia’s nation wealth is esti¬ mated at fifty billion dollars; it is thus the fifth richest nation.
