The Great Russtan Lake.

Lake Baikal, which figures 90 much
In the Oriental situation. IL a some
what remarkable body Of water. Its
name Is a corruption Of the Turkish
Bei-kul, ''rich lake"-the reference be-
ing. presumably to the valuable fish
with which 1t swarms.
Lake Baikal is the third largest body
Of water in Asia The Caspian and
Aral seas are the two larger. Both are
salt, however, while Baikal Is fresh.
1t is, therefore, the largest fresh wa.
ter lake in Asia, and the sixth In size
in the world, the Ave Great Lakes Of
North America each exceeding 1t in
area. It's waters occupy a remarkable
depression in the vast plateau Of Cen
tral Asia. The level Of its waters Is
1900 feet above the sea, while the bot
tom Of the lake is, in some places,
more than 1900 feet below the sea
level. Its depth is, therefore. 4,500
feet In the deepest parts.
The lake is $50 miles long, and from
nine and a quarter to forty miles wide.
Its waters are a deep blue, and re-
markably clear. There are a number
of islands in 1t; the largest Olkhon, is
forty-two miles long. There are nu-
merous hot springs on the shores, and
earthquake vibrations are frequent.
The annual value Of its salmon, stur.
geon and other fisheries is about one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Fresh water seals are abundant and
they are caught for their fur. 1t re-
ceives the waters Of several streams,
the main one being the Salnega River,
eight hundred miles long. The upper
Angara River, also Of considerable
size, enters its northeastern end. Its
outlet Is the Lower Angara. on which
Irkutsk is situated.
The reason why the Siberian Rail-
road was not built around the southern
end Of the lake is that the solid rock
Of the mountains reaches to the wa
ter's edge, and the task would be her
culean. Events In the East may COM
pei 1t nevertheless

Two British authors are at present
in the public eyes on account Of pen
sions they are receiving. Joseph Con-
rad has $500 from the British So
ciety of Authors, which generosity is
explained by the fact that the au-
thor. whose writings are among those
in greatest demand by the publishers
to-day, yet seems to have difficulty In
providing for his daily wants, says
the New York Globe. The immediate
reason for the pension, moreover, was
the accidental burning OF a manu-
script, which catastrophe so depressed
Mr.. Conrad that his friends thought
1t wise to relieve him from the ne
cessity of anything so humdrum and
sordid as looking out for his bread and
butter.
The case Of Conrad can hardly fail
to recall that OF Carlyle, who, when
Mil brought the disastrous news Of
the destruction OF complete book Of
the Revolution" spent the evening in
attempting to cheer the culprit-and
then set about the rewriting.

In Russia II Is the government only
that sleeps The people are awake
and astir, says the author Of Greater
Russia" They are making new de-
mands and feeling new freedom
which Ia apparent every day in the
absence OF the former rigid repres.
sion. and In the frequent indulgence in
license that Is miscalled liberty.
One will sometimes see on the pal
ace quay at st, Petersburg line OF
people waiting for the steamer to take
them to the islands. Along comes
some high official who. instead of
awaiting his turn, drives TO the head
of the line and crowds in ahead OF
the others. Formerly such an occur
renee would have been received In
silence as a matter Of course. but now
the people hiss and denounce the otii-
cial. and police do not interfere.
II street car is delayed for a con-

to stop again until he reaches his

who do not, and not to interfere be-
tween men who are as good as he Is.
