STRATEGIC RAILWAY
COVERED BY NEW LAKE
Part of Important Russian Line From
Orenburg to Tashkent, Turkestan,
Is Engulfed.

LONDON. Dec 1o-The Times Rus
sian correspondent says curious thing
has befauen the new Orenburg-Tash-
kent Railway which. when completed,
would shorten the distance and lessen
the difficulties in transporting troops to
the Afghan frontier ana the Pamirs and
cut down the railway distance between
the heart OF Russia and the Chinese
frontier 10 1000 miles.
Apparently reliable information is to
the effect that the northern half of this
railway has been submerged by a newly
formed lake stretching fourteen miles
The lake is said to be thirty miles wide
and ff-y-six feet deep.
The forma ton of the lake may be due
to the overflow Of the Syr Daria on
perhaps TO one of the fiuvial displace-
ments common to Central Asian rivers
especially in tie great depression OF
the Aral-Caspian basin.
II is now said that the road runs
over goo miles through a zone subject tc
