there seems 10 be no good reason why
its adoption should be longer deferred.
As the street is now, It IS a disgrace to
the city, an eye-sore TO strangers and
q nuisance to residents. Navigation
across It would require ferries at most
OF the crossings, and a photograph Of
it would pass for a realistic view of a
Podunk thoroughfare. At the usual
rate Of progress with paving contract
Ors here. it viii De impossible TO make
the street presentable before next win
ter unless the contract is let within a
very short time. Conferences are all
right in such ar emergency, but a good,
big hurry move is in order.
Mr. Shaw's suggestion that the city
be divided into paving districts so that
the cost of improvements may be di-
vided among all the property owners
benefited, is most timely. In most pro-
gressive municipalities this plan is
being adopted and is proving very sat
lsfactory. 1t distributes the cost OF
paving, not only on the frontage OF the
streets paved, but in a diminished pro-
portion, payments fall upon the side
streets which get their snare of the
benefit aerruing from improvements on
the main thorOughfares. The adoption
Of this plan would enable the city to
improve rapidly and extensively with
out imposing an onerous load on any
body.

LAKE BAIKAL.

It HE HERALD has been asked TO
supply some information about
Lake Baikal. in Siberia, that forms the
only gap in the Trans Siberian rail-
way between St. Petersburg and vIadi-
vostok. Lake BaikaI is one of the
largest and most interesting bodies of
fresh water in the world Tt is 397
miles long from southwest to northeast
and varies in width from thirteen to
fifty-four miles. It's area is estimated
at about 1850 square miles.
Lake Baikal is interesting for other
things in addition to its extent. 1t is
1850 feet above the level of the sea and
IS set down in the midst of steep noun
tain ranges that in places rise sheer
from the waters edge in walls OF
gneiss, conglOmerate or syenite. Else
where their slopes are covered with
trees Of the pine variety. Several riv-
ers flow into the lake. among them
being the Upper Angara. the Selenga.
the Barguzin and others. The LAKE
has only one known outlet, by way Of
the Lower Angara.
1t is said that the water is wonder
fully clear. At depth of eight faith
oms, forty-eight feet, the bottom can
be plainly seen. BaikaI varies in
depth from twenty-five fathoms to
more than 800 fathoms 1t is full
of fish Of many kinds. and seal
ing goes on on its shores
throughout the short summer season.
The salmon Industry is also profitable
70 IL
kal is excessively severe. which is not
unnatural when We remember that it
lies between the fftieth and sixtieth
parallels Of latitude. north. This puts
it in relatively the same position as
the southern portion of Hudson bay on
the American continent.
Winter comes on early on Lake Bal
kali. 1t has been frozen over no later
than October in some seasons. but or
dinarily it does not freeze until about
the first of November. The gap which
it makes in the Trans-Siberian railway
Is covered in summer by means Of
great ferries, built so that they can
crush ice Of great thickness. Even
these powerful boats. however. cannot
crush the ice in Lake Baikal through
out the winter as is evidenced by the
fact that the Russians have just fin
ished laying rails across it on ice eight
feet thick.
The lake is forty miles wide at this
point. To fill the gap permanently the
railroad is now being constructed
around the south end of the lake. max
ing necessary a detour of 125 miles.
This work viii, it is expected, be COM
pleted some time during the present
year. This is, Of course, provided the
Japs do not take all Of Siberia away
from husband the railroad along
with the rest OF the country.

Rird shoots Man.

Eddie FOy, one OF the heroes of the
Iroquois theatre fire, was talking in
Philadelphia theatre about hunting

the Amazon. ia South America There

my friend shot one Of these birds one
morning. but he only wounded it. 1t
was too badly hurt to fly, but not
10 run, and, in a confused way, it now
began to run round and round in a
circle through the brush. My friend
made after it, but it was too quick
for him, so he dropped his heavy gun,
and continued the chase at a faster
gait.
HE had almost reached the bird
when, in its circular flight. it tripped
and fell over the gun and then-by
design. for all We know-its foot came
in contact with the trigger, there was
a loud report. and my friend fell TO
the ground with a wound in his leg.

record of a birds shooting q man,

NEvADA's NATURAL SOAP NINE
Why Mr.. Pullman Discarded the
Product From His Coaches.
Worlds Fair Bulletin }

The receipt at the Worlds fair OF an
exhibit Of pure CASTLE soap that was
mined from a mountain of soap in Ne
vada, recalls George NJ. Pullman's rea-
son. for not continuing the use Of this
natural soap on his famous palace
cars.
James A. Yerington of Carson City,
executive commissioner 10 the Worlds
fair from Nevada was one of the num-
Der of guests entertained by the late
sleeping car magnste at his residence
in Pullman, suburb of Chicago, sew
eraI years ago. During the evening
Mr.. Pullman turned to the gentleman
from Nevada and said:
Nh. YeringtOn, / had quantity OF
that natural soap you mine in Nevada
refined and used in my cars.
II know you did, Mr. Pullman" was
Yerington's reply.
Il use it yet in my home here, but
don't use it on the sleeping cars
any more"
I know you had discontinued its
use and often wondered why, said
Mr.. Yerngton.
For the most natural reason in the
world said Mr.. Pullman. Every
time a train passed through Nevada
some citizen would board one of our
cars and his State pride would lead
him to boast of the wonderful re-
sources of Nevada. He would invari-
ably tell about that mountain of soap
and then add that the soap in the
sleeping laVatory was dug from that
mine. Instantly there would be a
rush for the lavatory and all of the
soap would be cOnfiscated for SOuve-

that lad TO be chained in its place,
and We could not carry enough TO sup
ply the demand"
George W. Peck. OF bad Boy" fame,
who was at that time governor Of Wis
eonsin. was also one of the guests.
'YOu call that stuff soap, Yering
ton?' inquired Mr.. Peck
Yes"
but you have no animal fat in it,
NO" replied Mr.. Yerington," our

called "child's dictionary" and these
are some Of the definitions that Mr..
Coudert would read from it:
