In connection with the report that 600 Russian soldiers while warching across Lake Baikal were caught in a snowstorm and frozen to death, the following: from the London Times of February 3th, two days before the outbreak of the war, is of value as elucidating the facts concerning the weak linkin the Sinberian railway : So far as concerns communcations by land, the strangulation at Lake Baikal is a serious disadvantage for Russia. 'Lhe Times correspondent in Manchuria states that two steamers are now running atross the lake, the largest making seven voyaves, or fourteen crossings, in two days. He tells us that the railway round lake will not be completed until 1905, or a year later than Russian calculations had anticipated, and he adds that by the combined means of sledges end Steamers some 750 tons of stores can be conveyed across the lake in twenty - four hours. From this he concludes that eight trainloads can be taken across the lake every day, and that this figure represents the maximum capacity of the traffic on the line of communication 'at this important point. It is a liberal estimate, and it may be observed that it onlv applies to the next three months and is con- ditional upon the unlikely event of both sleigh and steam traffic continu- ing without interruption. This question requires a little ther elucidation. The break Trans-Siberian at Lake Baikal is the greatest blot in the Russian military position in the east. A railway is un- der construction around the southern shores of the lake, hut so far it has only reached Tonkhoi, whence it is two 'hours' journey to the eastern shore. The mailwav enterprise encount- ers many difficulties; it requires the piercing of nineteen tunnels through the spurs of the lofty mountains which fall abruptly to the shores _ of the lake, and Russian engineers have very little experience of making tun- pels and are not adepts in this branch of railway work. There are, besides, many broad and deep marshes to be spanned, and the plant required for this purpose will require many con- struction trains to be devoted to its transport if the work is to be carri- on concurrently with the supply and reinforcements of the army in the east. We learnt what it meant in the Sedan to continue work on a rail- wav and vet keep an armv of only 20,000 men at the front supplied. The Russian numbers are ten times greater ard the line of communications three times longer; the Russian difficultios are therefore greater, even though the Trans-Siberian is, on the whole, more solid than the Desert railwav of 1898, Lake Baikal is 400 miles in length and is usually frozen over for several months in the year, the first serious frost having occurred this vear on January 2nd. The ice generally in: creases to a thickness of three feet, and thourh a steam ice-breaker, the Ledokol, is able to break through the ice of moderate thickness, heavy frost is linble to cause the steam traffic to be suspended. During the months of February, March and April the traffic is almost exclusivelv by sledge. It is at this moment that the circulation on the Russian roads in the east reaches its maximum, and so lone as Baikal re-' mains hard frozen it is rather an ad- vantare than a reverse, But the lake is gubject to severe storms. and if th®%e occur before the ice has become firmly set it becomes hummocky and the trafic by means of sledges is of- ten delaved. In earlv spring and in autumn the greatest difficulties arise, since the ice is too weak to bear sledges and vet strong enough to im- pede navigation except by specially- constructed craft. With the meltine of the ice the Rissians are thrown back upon their steamers, and when this moment arrives the French general staff calculates that only two train- loads can be despatched each way in twenty-four hours. The calculation of the Japanese staff is that six trains a day can be sent fur- in the east every twenty-four hours under wholly favorable circumstances, but they believe that four traine a day are more likely to represent the fact. The report that dynamite has heen discovered in the masonry of the bridges on the "line and that other preparafions have been made to des troy the railway mav be true or false. In anv case the insecurity of the rail wav j8 plain, and the necessity for breaking it up must have long ago occurred to the Japanese staff. ---- Schoolboy On Dogs. Philadelphia Telegraph The following is sent to us by a teacher in one of our public schools as a composition submitted by a small school boy on the subject of "Dogs "A dog is an animal which has four feet. Two of them are in the front of him and two in the back. They are most always tame and kind, but if you tease one he will bite and a dog bite is poison like a snake. Dogs can live in any kind of country cold or hot, and they will eat anything even some eat slop in the alleys, They are a very smart thing and are teached to do much, some jump through holes in wood, and some do funny things. Dogs sleep much more in the dav time than he does in the night as they have to keep watch as night and net go to sleep then. Most dogs have got hair, but some dogs have longer hair than other ones, they have all color hairs to and do not like to be clean. Dogs live to be older than a cat does, but do not get gray when théy do so, but die different. Most dogs die from being shot by police- men or smell gas and then choke. They are named by people after them." Abernethy's Shoe Sale. We are still giving the public bar- gains in 'all kinds of footwear, trunks, and valises. Come and see, and you will be well satisfied.

When a little girl is from 10 to 14 years she is at the most difficult age to dress tastefully, the idea being not to have her frocks too young or to old for her. The above illustration shows a good design to follow in making a little girl's frock. There is a becoming little fulness at the neck and waist, and the reveres give the necessary broad shoulder effect. The skirt is a pretty pattern, having = front gore to which is attached the double Florence skirt.

'And Plenty More To Be Had-- Composed Entirely of Gold Ore--Sold by a Poor Herder for $5 an Acre--Fortunes Made By It. Lendon, Feb. 23.--A Londen news- japer avnounced the other day that the usual monthly dividend of $145, 000 had been paid on the stock of the Mount Morgan Mining company. Thus far the lucky sharchoiders in this com- pany have received more than $22,900, 000 in dividends. The richest gold deposits were found at the top of the mountain, gnd vn til the top had. been quarried away the dividends amounted to more than £500,000 4 month. Tha sensational returns ceased several years ago, anil since then the company has been pay- ing regularly $145,000 5, month, and seems likely to continue to do so for many years, for the entire mounteiy as far as can be ascertained, ecnsists of gold bearing ore of uniform rich- ness, Mount Morgan, in the southeastéin part of Queensland, Australia, is pro- bably the most marvellous gcld mine ever opened. There is pathetic as well as romantic' interest in its history. Years ago the mountain was owned bv a poor herder named Gordon, who eked out a precarious existence by keeping a few score of cattle. He had fenced in the mountain and , strip of the plain around it, established his re- sidence there and fulfilled all "the con- ditions necessary to make the property his homestead. The few people who came to his lit tle cottage wondered that he had chosen ¢o uninviting a spot, for the pasturing was poor and little of soil was adapted to cultivation. He said, however, that he had plenty of water to make all travellers as comfortable as possible, and Gordon welcomed the strangers end set out his best for their entertainment. They were experienced prospectors and were looking for gold indications. As they were chiefly interested in min- ing, Gordon told them about his mountain. He said that he had obser ved curious green and blue stains all over it, 'and he would not be surpris ed if it contained copper. He excited the curiosity of the Mor- gan brothers, who next morning ex amined the -movntain. A shower dur- ing the night had wetted the rocks and one of the brothers observed in- dications of gold that fairly startled him. They said nothing, but pocketéd few specimens of the rock and went on thir way. They had discovered the richest known spot on the globe. A few weeks later the Morgan bro. thers again appeared and offercd , to buy the land from Gordon at 25° an acre. He thought it was a good offer and decided to sell. At that time the Morgans had no idea of the enormous value of the mountain, though they were confident that it would 'Pay handsomely to work it. Gordon drove his cattle away to gn- other frechold, and » few years ago it was reported that he had died in pov- erty. He lived long enough to know the value of the prize that had slipped his hands. % A battery was needed to treat the rock, but the Morgans did not have money enough to buy the necessary plant. They, therefore, offered a half interest in the property to a resident of Rockhampton for 810,000, tha money to be invested in machinery. He said it was too great a risk for one man to take, but he found three other men to go in with him, each in vesting $2,500. There were thus six men in the enterprise, the Morgan bro- thers owning half of the property. "ive years later each of the six men was_a millionaire. The stock is now more widely distributed, though it is in comparatively fow hands.
