The loss on tho building Is tlmated to be about $2,000 with suranco of $1,500. "ho building, which was one of oldest In town, was built by J. I. st many years ago and wbb owned C. W.

The building Is damaged almost lejond repair, and It Is likely that It it III be torn down In tho near future. Wat When It Covered Portion of Nevada. Tho large prehistoric lake which flood ed u number of the vulleys of north western Nevada at a very recent geo logic date, but bus1 now passed away. va4 named Lake Lnhoutnu, in honor of Durun Lnhoutnu, one of the early explorers of the headwaters of the Mississippi. The lake covered approxi mately 8.-10O B-uare miles at Its great est expansion, rtid In Its deepest part the present sltb of Pyramid lake. It was at leant 8S0 feet deep that Is. Its mirfnce stood approximately COO feet above the present water surface of 1'yrumld lake. The undent lake had no outlet ex cept the oue that led straight up. its waters being dissipated eutlrely by evaporation. A large nrea a few mile north of Wlnnemuccn Is covered with sand dimes formed since the disap pearance of Lake Labontan. The dunes-are fully seventy-live feet thick, and their steelier slopes are on the cast side, thus Indicating that the whole vast Held of sand Is slowly trav eling eastward. This progress has necessitated number of changes in the roads In the southern part of Utile Humboldt val ley during recent years. In some places ;n this region the telegraph poles have bceu burled so deeply that they have had to be spliced lu order to keep the wires above the crests of the dunes. Tho sand la of a light creamy yellow color and forms beautifully curved ridges and waves that are covered with a fretwork of wind ripples, and many of these rldgea.are marked In the must curious manner by the footprints of animals, which form strange hiero glyphics that ure sometimes difficult to translate.

EDIBLE BIRDS' NESTS. They Are a Delicacy In the Orient and Bring High Prices. An Important Item lu tJe export trade of Slam consists of edible nests of swifts, or BWlftlcts. as they ure also called. The principal markets for this trade nro China, Hongkong nnd Singa pore. In Hongkong, It Is said, tho de mand ofteu exceeds the supply, und prices range from 515 to $25 per pound, uccordlng to quality. Tho first nests constructed In the sen bou. which ure composed of pure sa liva, ure held superior for eating pur poses. They are gathered on comple tion before the eggs nro laid. The birds then build ugnln. nnd the second nests. In which the saliva Is mixed with rootlets, grass, etc.. and often shows traces of blood from the efforts inuilo to produce sullva, aro also taken on completion. A third nest Is then constructed of extraneous substances cemented to gether und the whole fastened to the wall by a little saliva, the flow of which seems to be practically ex hausted. The birds ure allowed to rear their young In these nests, which are nfierward destroyed by the nest gath erers, bo us to compel the construction of fresh nests the followlug year. Edible nests of swlftlcts tire found In the Malay archipelago, Australia and many of the Pacific Islands. In north ern Ilomeo certain enves Inhabited by these Hwlftlets produce S2.".O0O worth of nests every year nnd show no dlinln tit luti In tho quantity, despite system title robbery for sewn generations.
