The Deepest Lake.

Lake Baikal, in Siberia, is by far
the deepest lake known in the world.
1t Is in every way comparable to our
Great Lakes as regards size, for, while
it's area is more than nine thousand
square miles, making it about equal
to Erie in superficial area, it's enor-
nous depth Of between 1000 and $500
feet makes the volume Of its waters
almost equal to that Of Lake Superior.
Although its surface is 1000 feet
above sea level, its bottom is nearly
three thousand feet below it.
The Caspian Sea has a depth in it's
basin Of more than three thousand
feet Lake Maggiore is the same
depth, Lake Como nearly two thou
sand feet, and Lago de Garda. an
other Italian lake, has q depth in
certain places Of 1000 feet. Lake
Constance is more than one thousand
feet deep, and Huron and Michigan
reach depths Of 900 and 1000 feet.

New York, Dec. 26.-After two at

storm, number Of former passengers on
the battered craft have arrived safely
in New York on the steamship Cedric.
The Menominee left London December
3. -Four days later it ran into a terrific
gale. After breasting the seas for some
time, the vessel was struck by huge
tidal wave, at least sixty feet high,
which threw the ship on it's beam ends
the cabin ports, flooding the stateroOms.
The passengers were hurled almost with
out exception, from their berths. A wild
panic ensued during which many at
temptS to rush to the waye-Swept decks
were checked by the officers, and severa1
people were hurt by falls. One sailor
was caught in the backwash Of the wave
and was dashed against the bulwarks,
receiving injuries from which he died.
Three other seamen were seriously in
jured.
The shin's steering gear was completely
Destroyed and the craft was at the mercy
of the elements. Oil was used to still
the waves. but with little effect. For
five days the ship rolled in the trough of
the sea, Capt. Lucas and his officers re-
naming on the bridge night and day
without sleep. Finally at noon on the
fifth day a temporary steering gear was
rugged, and the ship limped back to Fal-
mouth, where the passengers, such Of
them as chose, were sent to New York
on the Cedric.
The Cedric also encountered strong
westerly winds, but no rough weather
worthy of note. She brought 2277 sacks

TO ENFORCE ARBITRATION
Associated leaning Interests in Chicago
Would Compel Employees to Submit
Questions to Board.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 26.-Lack of legal
evidence on which to found an injunc-
ton, has caused the livery owners Of this
city to abandon a plan for beginning
court action to restrain their striking
employees. Unless Chicago union team
sters consent to the formation of a per-
manent arbitration board on Wednes-
day next, general strife is likely to re-
suit between them and their employers.
Every effort is being made by the as
ISOLATED teaming interests to compel the
employees to submit all grievances to the
arbitration board, but great opposition
comes from small unions that want arbi-
tration conducted by representatives Of
individual unions. S. II. Edwards, a
member Of the employers body, who tried
to secure a settlement with the livery
drivers, was told today that settlement
was not advisable until the general arbi-
tration board was established
The large employers who hire drivers
will meet union delegates on Wednesday,
when the question of establishing the
arbitration board must be settled

Representatives, Senator Hale and
Senator Depew have expressed the con-
v1ction that certain women in Wash
ington have greater political acumen
than many Of the men who are actors
In the drama Of the capital, writes
Walden Fawcett III the Detroit Free
Press.
There are about 500 congressional
households in Washington and almost
every one Of them is a social center of
more or less Importance. Some women
have rendered the greatest service to
husband or father by holding some
what aloof from the field Of social ac-
tiv1ties by reason Of the obligations
which it imposes, but for the most part
participation in these amenities has
proven beneficial rather than detrimen-
tai to political aspirations The con-
gresham seeking reelection finds that
wife OF daughter may possibly be able
to render valuable aid, and to the rep
resentative who longs for place in the
Senate or the senator who is ambitious
to occupy higher post in the nations
service, the cooperation of a tactful
helpmate is we'll nigh invaluable.
A striking example of feminine aid
in the game of politics is furnished by
the case Of Mrs. Cornelia Fairbanks.
She has proved a most efficient lieu
tenant in furthering the political am
billions Of the senior senator from In
diana. She is very clever politician
herself, as is eloQuently attested by her
skill in winning and holding the chief
office in that organization of feminine
politicians-the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Msr. Foraker, to whose close friend
ship with Mrs Roosevelt some of the
wiseacres have attributed Senator For
aker's strong influence at the White
House, is woman who has aided her
husband greatly by her social tact.
She was Julia Bundy, daughter of the
Iron King and met her future hus-
band when they were students at Yves
leyan University. Few of Mrs. For
aker's friends are aware that she is a
student of architecture and has a de-
cided gift in that art. She planned the
Foraker home in Cincinnati, and had
much to do with preparing the plans
for the senator's handsome home in
Washington.
In the congressional as In other So
cial circles at Washington, dinner Civ
ing is the favorite form Of hospitality,
and pre-eminence in this sphere is gen
orally accorded to Mrs. Stephen B.
Elkins, wife Of Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia. Mrs. Elkins was Halle,
daughter Of ex-senator Davis, of Fred
erick. Md, and her husbands wealth

ELABORATE CHAIR OF STATE
One of Queen Victoria's Presents to
BE on Exhibition.

Among the priceless treasures COM
prising the jubilee presents Of Queen
Victoria, which have been sent to
America for exhibition at the worlds
fair, is a wonderful ivory chair and
footstool. These were presented to the
late queen by the Maharajah of Ira
yancore.
The carving on the chair and foot
stool is a revelation of the possibilities
Of art. The feet are in the form Of
lions paws, and the arms terminate
in lions heads. The back is in the
form of a shell, supported by elephants,
rampant. The seat is Of ala baster and
the chair has a gold and silver tissue
drapery around the underside of the
frame, finished with tassels and richly
chased ormolu ornaments. The cush-
ions are Of green velvet, embroidered
in gold and silver thread. Every out
side part Of the chair is covered with
delicately carver figures OF men and
animals
This maharajah, not satisfied with
this truly princely gift, presented also
to her majesty two immense pairs Of
elephants tusks. The official descrip-
ton of these are as fellows:
1. Pair Of elephants tusks, mount
ed Oh bufalo's head, carved In ebony.
which is supported on four griffins. The
tusks are supported higher up by
crossbar Of ebony, and resting on the
heads Of four figures representing
some Of the incarnat.ons Of Vishnu.
Rushing from the projecting ends of
the croSsbars to the tusks are two
grifins, with two elephants under them,
linking their trunks. On the center Of
the bar is 4 sixteen handed figure of
Shive, standing on the PROSTATE form
Of an Abamaram, or fiend. All figures
are ebony.
2. Pair Of elephants tusks, mounted
as flower vases on stand Of rosewood,
covered with ivory. The tusks are
mounted with gold, and are entwined
by pepper vine in fruit, worked in
gold. The vases are supported on two
elephants heads, carved in ebony, and
rising from out Of a base Of rock and
jungle worked in ivory and elephants
teeth. The trunks of the elephants sup

They are very easily made and the

length. The boards are placed far
enough apart to admit Of two nests
side by side.
Strips two inches wide and one inch
thick, represented in the diagram as

for the nest boxes are wires, desig-

The Farm Surplus.

The farm surplus should never be
sold in it's original condition if it can
be changed to something else with
profit Hay, when fed to dairy COWS,
and only the butter is sold, leaves a
portion Of the profit on the farm, as
the butter is derived mostly from the
air. and it is to this fact that cream
cries which return the skim milk and
whey to their patrons have done much
to increase the fertility Of some farms
by rendering the manure Of the farms
more valuable.

Gone before the rack is put together.
Strips might well be used in place Of
the wires and would give additional
strength. If wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory If kept tight.
The nest boxes are made of one-half
inch lumber. They are 49, inches
wide, II inches long and five inches
deep. The bottom is made to project
six inches, providing a step for the
hens to alight on. The space above
the boxes would depend partly on
the breed of poultry, but with boxes
five inches high a 14-inch space be-
tween wires will be sufficient The
improved nest boxes have the advant-
age OF being light. easily made and
