A Great Salt Lake In Siberia.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk is 9
miles wide and II miles long, yet except
in few places it is solidly rooted over
with a deposit of salt which is getting
thicker and thicker every year.
Our guide. who is an old man, said
that he could remember when the salt
crystals first began to gather upon the
surface of the water. Year by year,
owing to the evaporation of the water,
the crystals became more numerous and
then caked together till this great roof
formed.
In 1878 the water beneath this salt
crystal roof found an underground out.
let into the River Obi This lowered the
lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and ttS
roof.
Looking down through one of tn,
openings made for the purpose in the
roof, we saw a low sided small boat.
Our guide put us one at time into the
boat. We lay fiat on our back and
looked up at the curiously beautiful salt
ceiling overhead. We propelled the boat
by pushing with our hands against the
irregularities of the roof.
The guide held long rope attached to
the boat to prevent our going too far and
getting lost-a thing he said it was easy
to do.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there, and thus continually
adds to its thickness. After many years
the springs will probably become choked
with their own deposits, and then the
whole will gradually become covered
with earth, aid so a great salt mine will
be formed-a treasure for the Siberians
hundreds of years to come.-Cor. Geo.

ABDUCTION OF MISS DARRELL.
She Thinks the Miscreants Are Four
Rejected SuitOrs.

Leesburg, Fla, Feb. 23.-There is great
excitement at Center Hiu over the abduc-
tiOn and maltreatment OF Miss Grace Dar-
rell, the pretty Chicago girl. Miss Dar-
rell has regained consciousness and says
that when she went on the veranda Thurs
day night. some one threw a shawl over
her head TO muffie her cries and she was
then taken away. She says there were
four men concerned, and thinks she rec
ognized their sVoices. Soon after being
seized she freed her head and screamed
when she was knocked senseless. When
she reagined consciousness she was nude
and tied TO a tree. Overcome by horror,
she soon relapsed into the unconscious
state In which she was found. While Miss
Darrell thinks she knows her abductors
she has not yet mentioned the names, as
she says she may be mistaken and she
does not want innocent men lynched.
10 is believed the outrage was commit
ted by four young men whose addresses
the girl rejected and who II is alleged
have thrcatened TO be revenged.
1t developed to-day that Miss Darrell
has recently received a number Of anony-
nous letters of an obscene nature and II
is alleged these letters were written by
the young men suspected OF the abduc-
tion.
II Miss Darrell tells the names OF the
men she suspects there may be a lynching.

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 23.-AH efforts at
harmonizing the conflicting elements of
the Missouri democracy have been aban-
doned and the war for supremacy be-
tween the silver and the sound money
wings has begun in earnest. A circular
signed by leading democrats throughout
the state was sent out to-day calling for
a meeting of sound money democrats in

alton or belief and a line of action for
those democrats who do not subscribe to
the free, unlimited and impossible coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l and
who will not be read out of their party
in consequence thereof, nor be deprived
of the rights of expressing their convic-
tions."

heads the list of subscribers to the circu-
lar. said to-day: THE Is to 1 political
