ICE CLEAR AS CRYSTAL.
The Water Of Lake fsaikni. I'm Siberia. II
Remarkable Sight.

In Eastern Siberia lies Lake Baikal.
which IS a mile deep and has On area one
third greater than Lake Erie From No
vember 10 April it IL frozen. and as
the lake is part of tho commercial high
way between Russia and China 1t ~
crossed in winter upon the ice. For
about a mile from shore tho ice had thin
LAYER of snow over 1t. out We gradually
left this sort of dazzling white carpet aud
at length reached the clear Ice. when
saw around me the most wonderful and
bewitching sight l ever beheld. SAYS
writer in Arctlc ocean.
Owing to the transparency OF the water
the ice presented everywhere the appear
ance of polished crystal. and although un-
doubtedly of great thickness was SO
coloriess that 10 was like passing
over space. IL gave me at frst an un-
canny feeling 10 look over the side OK
the sledge down into the black abyss
beneath. This feeling. however. grad;
ually changed to one of fascination, till
at last / found II positively difficult TO
withdraw my gaze from the awful depth,
with nothing but this sheet OF crystal be-
tween me and eternity. | believe that
most travellers on crossing the lake on the
Ice for the iirst time experience the same
weird and fascinating influence.
About halfway across stopped to make
a sketch and take some photographs. Ie
was no easy matter, as found on getting
out OF the sledge. Tor the ice was so ship
perry that in spite OF my having felt snow
shoes on could hardly stand. The death
like silence of tho surroundings was COCA
sionally broken. however. by curious
sounds. as though big guns were being fired
at some little distance. They were caused
by the cracking of the ice here and there.
] was told that in some parts of the lake
were huge assures through which tho
water could be seen.
Ii il for this reason that il Is always sd-
vIsahls to do the journey by daylight. We
reached Mouishkay, on the opposite coasS
exactly four and a half hours after leaving
Liestoenitz. the horses having gone the
whole distance of tbirty miles with only
two stoppages Of few minutes each It
was evidently an easy bit OF work for
them. "a they seemed as fresh as whom We
started in the morning.

They tell me the old horse on the mcnu-

his metallic eye below aud sweep the sur

glance. He - the guardian angel and the
tutelary genius of the sweethearts who

his thoughts are tender and gentle. But,
as | said before, he kicked himself last
week. IL was night. The black low
grounds merged themselves with tho SOM
bre horizon. Snd the world was clothed IN
darkness. But the old horse saw. Through
the gloom he perceived two approaching
figures. Nearer and nearer they came.
One was a youth. tho other was q maid.
Side by side they walked onwards. on
wards. never ceasing until they reached
the pedestal of the monument. Here they
paused and then sat down. The bronzed
steed pricked his ears. but did not delgn
TO peep down. He heard gentle voices,
poetic words and long drawn sighs. An
hour sped By and tire air grew chilly.
Suddenly the maiden. who had been sit
ting some distance away from her COM

With wild snort Of disgust the old horse
reared and madly beat his sides with his
changing hoofs. The maiden gave up IN
despair and the youth wondered why she
did not accept the oyercOat.
