II is, in fact, very nearly as large as Lakes Erie and Ontario combined, and at it's widest part is wider than either of these great lakes of America. Long leland sound would be lost in one end of it. More than 400 miles as the crow flies from it's northern to it's southern end, it lies square across the path of the Siberian railway, formidable ob- Stacle. In summer trains are ferried across from shore to shere in few hours. In the dead of winter tracks can bs maintained upon the ice, but | there are always some weeks in spring and fall when traffic is interrupted
 A loop of the railway to pass around the southern end of the lake and make possible all-rail line has been sur veyed, but the rugged mountains that bound the lake make it's construction very difficult. The Siberian line has already cost more than $400, 0,000, ,000, and the state railways in general cost 5000, 900 year more than they earn, so that Russia has naturally hesta ted about undertaking another such grea t expense. The cost of the loop would not be much to the United States, but Russia, with all her enormous size, has foreign trade smaller than that of Holland, Australia or Belgium, ana her resources are taxed to the utmos to maintain the railway she already has and to keep the army and navy going.
 Being about as far north as Hudson 8 bay and at an elevation as great as the top of the highest mountains in Vest chester county, Lake Baikal is cold enough in winter to manufacture a good quality of ice, but the tremendous gales that sweep over it from the northwest are deflected by the high mountains of the Baikal range to the westward and blow directly down upon the ice upon that side, greatly depressing il and causing it to bob up elsewhere where the pressure is less.
 This occasions ice cracks and shifting of the surface, even when the solid ice is quite thick enough to bear the light cars of Siberian railway train, which are only about one-third as heavy as ours.
 According to dispatches, such storm is on now, making cracks several yards wide, which laborers are trying to close by fitting in blocks of ice, which would soon freeze in place if the wind would let them.

CAPTURE OF BURT ALV0R0
Notorious Bandit Wounded and Taken
 by Sheriff Lewis and Rangers

But AlvOrd, the notorious train rob Der and outlaw, was captured near Naco last Friday night at $50 O clock. The capture was the result of a fight between the officers and the outlaws, and Alvord was wounded and forced to give himself up. Stiles and Mex jean who was travelling with them made their escape in the darkness, but are expected to be apprehended soon
 Sheriff Lewis, Ranger J. J. Brooks, Deputy Sheriff Porter Me Donald, Fred Smith and A. L.. Wilson participated in the capture. They proceeded to Young's ranch, short distance from Naco, Sonora, arriving there a short time before dusk. Ranger Brooks and Sheriff Lewis approached the house from the left while Mcdonald, Smith and Wilson came up from the right side. Alvord, Styles and Mexican were seen to be sitting in front of the house. Brooks and Lewis got to the top of a hill in front of the house, and as they appeared at the crest Alyord and Stiles called "Hellor' The officers continued to advance and answered "Hellol" Stiles then raised upon his feet and said: "lS that you, Skeet?" at the same time raising his gun to his shoulder, as did AlvOrd and the Mexi- can. Ths officers fired without waiting Two buckshot from Brooks gun struck Alvord one in the thigh and the other in the ankle. The wounded robber fell to the ground, crying out, "don'J shoot.
 Immediately after, the two outlaws fired two shots in the direction of Brooks and Lewis, but neither one of them took effect. Alvnrd called tD Stiles not to run, but Stiles and the Mexican both made their escipe in the darkness. Smith, Wilson and Me cDon. aid, the other officers, came up from the rear and captured the horses be | longing to the outlaws, which were hidden behind d cluster of mesqui tt brush.
 Alvord and Stiles, it will be remem- bered, broke ail at Tombstone on De- cember l5 last, thirteen prisoners leaving the jail at the same time Since then they have been in Mexico. Ten days before Alvord's capture they held up man named John Tener and robbed him of gold bullion valued at | $S000, which rener was carrying to Magdalena from his mine. This hold up aroused the Mexican officials, who followed close after the outlaws into the Nacozari country.
 On Tuesday night, previous to the capture, Aivord and Stiles were in Douglas, and went to the vicinity of Naco, where they remained until they were located by the sheriff's posse Burt Alvord had just been sentenced by the federal court when he made his escape. His sentence was two years. Stiles had refused to plead guilty to the charge against him in connection with the train robbery at Cochise sev- eral years ago and had secured a change of venue to Pima county.
 AlvOrd was taken to Tombstone, where he will likely have only short stay. He is Unsted States prisoner and Marshal McCord will no doubt re move him to Yuma without much delay,
