Great Salt Coated Lake.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with a coating of
salt that completely conceals the wa
ter. 1t may be seen at any time dur
ing the year, fully exposed, being seen
at its best where the sun is shining
directly upon 1t. This wonderful body
of water is one of the safest of the
salt lakes. and is situated near OBJ
dorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine miles
wide and seventeen long, and within
the memory of man was entirely rooted
over by the salt deposit. Originally
evaporation played the most prominent
part in coating the lake over with salt,
hut now the salt springs which sur
round 1t are adding fast to the thick
ness of the crust.
In the long ago period evaporation
of the lakes waters left great salt
crystals on the surface. In course of
time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which lower
ed its surface about three feet.
The salt crust was so thick, however.
that 1t retained its old level, and now
presents the curious spectacle of a salt
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. Ths
many islands with which the lake "a
studded are said to act as braces and
to keep the arched salt crust in posi-
ton.

FIGHT DON'T CONCEDE,
SAYS CHAMBERLAIN.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Gov. George
E. Chamberlain of Oregon, who is on
visit East, arrived in Washington
tonight The Governor always has
taken a great deal of interest in the
Alaskan boundary question and in dis
cussing the conclusion reached by the
Arbitration Commission in London,
spoke as follows:
Il have always felt that there was
really nothing to arbitrate. In other
words America had everything to lose
and nothing to gain by an arbitration.
The consent to arbitrate gave coloring
TO a right of Great Britain to make a
claim which in my opinion had mo
foundation in fact. l could not see
how it would have been possible to
decide other than in accordance with
the claim which was asserted by
America, and which, until very recent
years, had been lived up to and acted
upon by persons of every nationality
on the ground who were in a position
to know the respective merits of the
contending parties. 81
1T was a repetition of the old cry
Of $40 or fight and I think the
United States ought to have taken the
latter alternative rather than make
any concession to any power with ref
erence to Alaska or it's possessions"

ITALIAN WOMAN
SOUGHT VENGEANCE.
Twice Shot Woman with n Baby
In Her Arms,

Twice ShOt woman with Baby
In Her Arms.
p New York, Oct. 1s.--The police re-
serves tonight are searching the
swamps and fields around Bath Beach
for Antoinette Della Monette, young
Italian woman who fired two shots at
Mrs, Elizabeth Marvin, both of which
took effect. Mrs. Marvin was taken
to the Norwegian hospital in a criti-
cal condition.
At the time the shots were fred, Mrs.
Marvin was holding a baby in her
arms. This is thought to have saved
her life as the Italian woman did not
want to kill the child and fired low
The shooting occurred at the home of
Mrs. Margaret Stone, where Mrs. Mar
vim, called to engage Mrs. Stone, to
do washing.
Two months ago Mr.. Mavin had dis
possessed the Della Monette woman
from fiat he owned and the italian
believed Mrs. Marvin was responsible.
When Mrs. Marvin entered the house
the Della Monette woman approached
her and, drawing a revolver from the
folds OF her dress, said: Now. I'll set
tie with you. I'll save your child, but
you are going to die"
She fired twice. aiming below the feet
of that baby that was in Mrs. Marvins
arms, and Mrs. Marvin sank to the
floor. The Italian woman then fled,

method so reduced the cost of installa-
| ton as to enable many communities
| to have a tolerably effective service,
which otherwise would have had to
| go without any. But the farmers are
becoming more fastidious. They now
want good service, and they are get
ting it.
The systems employed range from a
single line, with from three or four to
| a dozen Instruments connected, to COM
prehensive systems covering entire
counties and having hundreds of pa
| irons. For instance, in Geauga coun-
| ty, Ohio, near Cleveland, where there is
population of about $4,000. there are
ever 1000 patrons, the number in each
township ranging from fifty to nearly
four hundred. Great attention is paid
to toll service. and the best eonstruc-
ton and apparatus are insisted on, as
being in the long run the most econom-
ical.
An example of the village and rural
exchange is New Augusta, Ind, with
seventy-fve subscribers. fifty of whom
are farmers, the most distant being
about seven miles. When o. single
neighborhood line with a few instru-
ments attached is desired. a switch
board is not necessary. The subscrih-
ers signal each other direct by giving
different combinations of rings.
So easy has the organization of rural
telephone systems become that 1t is
safe to predict that within a very few
years the majority of the 1000. 900
farmers said to be yet unprovided with
telephone service will have followed
the example of their more enterprising
brethren and brought themselves with
In touch of civilization. If any COM
munity wishes to install a system, no
matter how limited, it has ONLY to
communicate with a reputable instalIa-
ton firm to receive the fullest and the
clearest instructions as to how to go
about it.
A favorite method of organizing is
for the farmers to form partnerships or
cooperative (mutuaD companies for
the furnishing of service only to the
locality in which the subscribers live
sometimes the service is furnished by
nearby telephone exchanges running
lines into the rural districts.
In some places service cannot be
gwen by city companies. In such case
the farmers can form themselves into
company subscribe for the stock on
pro rata or other basis, and install the
system, running a direct line from
their switchboard to that of the near
est town or city exchange. This Is
called the community system, the heart
OF which is the small switchboard. from
which radiate in different directions
the lines to which the various sub
scrioers, telephones are attached.

Met Death on Brunswick Railroad
Track-Engineer Flanders Better.
DR.. Burroughs Goes To Macon.
Brunswick, Ga, Oct Isl. H.
Wheeler of Jesup was found dead on
the railroad track on Bay street in
this city early this morning. Just how
he met death is not, and probably will
never, be known.
He was in rather a peculiar position
when found by two sailors. His head
was just touching the track, his collar
was lying several feet away, while his
right hand had grasped a strong hold
in the grass. From all appearances
he had been hit by train during the
night. There were no bruises about
his face save a small cash on his chin.
His shoulder and back were badly torn
up.
Mr.. Wheeler evidently came to
Brunswick yesterday, as he had a re-
celpt in his pocket showing that he
had paid out money in Jesup Friday.
No one saw the accident or even re-
members seeing the man in the city.
The killing occurred over on side
track, as no trains are operated after
HiIuHlSHt SATURDAY, ne must nave lost
his life Saturday night.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that he came to his death prob
ably from train. His body will be
sent to Jesup.
Engineer Will Flanders, who was 50
seriously injured by falling from his
engine on the Brunswick and Birm-
ingham Railroad Friday night, was re-
ported much improved to-day.
DR.. w. B. Burroughs left tonight for
Macon, where he goes to be present at
the opening of the State Fair. He is
in charge of the educational depart
ment, and he says the exhibit in this
line will be the best one in recent
wears.
