Poor Crops in Russia.

A St. Petersburg correspondent de.
clares the harvest in Russia tLis year Is
likely to be the worst on record. He draws
narrowing picture Of the results of the
continued drouth. ....
Prices OF cereals, he says, are rising
hourly. Rice has never been so dear.
Throughout the western, central and the
greater portion OF Southern Russia the
outlook is dismal Many reports say that
the winter crop in South and East Russia
perished by frosts Famine is already
visible in the faces OF the peasantry OF
hos,roma- Disease has already broken
out.
The only food Is oat meal, mixed with
tree bark or similar ingredients. In
Kasou, among indigents receiving meals
gratis, are l45 noblemen and seveuty-six
priests. In other districts similar copdi-
tions are reported In the Jewish colony
at Rovnopoi many people are dying OF
hunger, and hundreds have to huddle to-
gether. Several families are in one room.
often, for the sake Of warmth. Some
papers contain advertisements OF children
for sale. The government is taking pre-
cautions against any revolts. The taxes
are collected with the usual regularity
and failure to pay is visited with severe

Water in the Colorado Desert.

The Colorado desert in Arizona is
lower than sea level. Recently an i'm
mense volume OF water has poured forth
from an nrtesian well and also from q
mine, which fact leads some to believe
tnat the desert hili eventually be flied
with water
The water which began to rise in the
Salton salt mines Saturday afternoon,
driving out the laborers, now covers an
area Of ten miles square and from three to
eight deep. The lower end of the side
track from the railroad to the salt works
are gone The mines are flooded. Indian
Wells, sixty miles south, is 297 feet above
Salton and forty miles square. The
water is from three to five feet beep, being
the overflow Of the Colorado river.
All that prevents this water from flow
ing into Salton sink is a loose bank of
sand. Parties in from Indian Wells re-
port the water walled up against this
bank. 1t is thought tho water has found
an underground passage through the sand
into the basin. II so it will carry the
food into it, as the Colorado for ten miles
is overfowing its west banks and pouring
immense body of water into the laguns
region at Indian Wells.
