F ifty miles or so out from Irkoutsk
the great mysterious Lake Baikal is
met. It Is a long, narrow’ body of wat
er, deep and cold, surrounded on all
sides by lofty mountains, save where
rivers cut channels through. The rail
way strikes It near the middle, and the
engineers, rather than build 200 miles
of road through the mountains around
the southern end, established a ferry to
cross the narrowest part of the lake,
60 miles. The two boats are huge Ice
crushers, one able to transport bodllj’
three trains—the other a smaller and
swifter boat for passengers only. This
Is the only break in the more than 0,000
miles of straightaway track that in the
near future can be traversed without
change.
The great wonder of the Siberian line
is its rate of fares—an average of one
cent per mile first class and about
two-thirds of a cent per mile second
class. In America this would mean a
rate less than $10 from New York to
Chicago on the limited trains Instead
of $20 and $25, as are charged. From
Japan or China to New’ York via Si

the trip are about the same as across
