LAKE IN THE WAT.
TrBs-91berlaa Railroad to lie ex
tended Around Lake Baikal
tn the Near Fntnre.
United States Consul Thomas
Smith, at Moscow, informs the depart
ment of state that the trans-Siberian
railway authorities have experienced
a great deal of trouble with Lake
llaikal, which is located in the north
ern part of Asia and lies in the mineral
region of that country. The lake,
which Is exceedingly rough the greater
part of the.year, is G5 miles long, and
has a great depth. The banks are ery
marshy for a long distance from the
water line to the hard ground. They
have In use at present large ice-breaking
steamers of the American system,
with barges connected for transporta
tion of passengers and freight. The
cars also are conveyed on these barges.
This arrangement, which is merely
primary, was made, as they were in a
hurry to make connections. Meanwhile
the Kussian engineers have been sur
veying two linesaround the lake, which
will obtlate the necessity of using a
numberof tunnels, as was at first feared
would be necessary. Ily the use of a
line around Lake IJaikal there will be
no delay In landing, as is the case in
crossing the lake when storms are prev
alent. One of these proposed lines has
been selected and will be constructed
in the near future to run by the way of
Olchy and Toogoontchlli, so that in the
distance between Irkutsh and Kooltoo
ga there will be only two, if any, tun
nels constructed.

Stand on His rest.
Walter E. Duryea, who has derived
fame as being the only man who has
actually survived a broken neck, as
tonished his physicians as well as his
attendants at the Hotel St. George In
Brooklyn the other afternoon by stand
ing upright on his feet without as
sistance. Mr. Duryea's improvement has been
continuous and steady. Since his ar
rival at the Hotel St. George, in Octo
ber last, he has never been out of doors,
but has confined himself to a rigorous
course of treatment that already is
showing gratifying results.
The treatment has enabled Mr. Dur
yea to recover practically all his dor
mant faculties save that of walking,
and the demonstration which he gae
of being able to stand unaided con
vinced his friends that it Is likely h
may soon be able to get about.
