a Lake Nearly a Mill Deep.

BY far the deepest lake known in
the world is Lake Balkil, in Siberia,
wnich is every way comparable to
the great Canadian lakes as regards
size; for while lis area is over 5000
square miles, making it about equal
to Erie in superficial extent, its
enormous depth Of between 1000 and
1900 feet makes the volume of its
waters almost equal to that of Lake
Superior. Although its surface is
1850 feet above the sea level, its bot
tom is nearly 5000 feet below it. The
Caspian lake, or sea, as 1t is usually
called, has depth in its southern
basin of over 5000 feet. Lake Mag
giore is 5000 feet deep, Lake Como
nearly 2000 feet, and Legodi Garda,
another Italian lake, has a depth in
certain places of 1900 feet. Lake
Constance is over 1000 feet deep, and
Huron and Michigan reach depths OF
900 and 1000 feet.

The Largest Bank Ohecqne.

Considerable controversy has re-
Gently arisen about the "largest
cheque" tharever was written. 1t
was announced that to the cheque
drawn by the Great Indian Peninsu~
lar Railway Company on the London
and County Bank for Gl 100000 beN
longs the distinction. 1t was at the
same tiIae stated that one drawn by
Vanderbilt for e700,0 had hitherto
headed the list. The statement, how
ever, is inaccurate, says the Bullion
list, of London. AT least four of the
London clearing banks have paid
cheques for considerably over 60, 000.~
600 on more than one occasion. A
few years ago the Manchester Ship
Canal Company, when buying out
the Bridgewater Trustees, drew one
cheque for Gl, 100000 on Glyn & Co.,
and this document can still be seen
at the offices of the Ship Canal Com
pany, Deansgate, Manchester, where
it is framed as a curiosity. A chequt
for an enormous amount passed
through the "house" in 1879 or 1880
The amount was upward of $3.50,
900, and was in settlement of an arbi
tration award.

William.

This name has a curious history. 1t
was not at first given to the children,
and even a man had to earn it before
he could have it.
When the ancient Germans fought
with the Romans, they had only light
weapohS. The Romans were we'll
armo /, protected by armOr too, and
most ol them wore gilded helmet
to shield the head. Whenever a Ger
man succeeded to kill well-armed
Roman who wore one of these gilded
helmets, the helmet was put upon
his head and, he was ever afterward
known as Goldhelm, or, as we would
say, Golden Helmet. Will tn e
French this was called Gilheaum,
shortened to GuilIame; and with the
Latin.speaking nations Gulielmus.
Finally the French Guilame became
Wuillame; the German Gilhem is
Wilhelm, and the English William.

Snyder caught his first game for spokane ct
Tacoma yesterday, and his work was very poor.
lie had twelve put-outs, two assists and one
error. He had three passed balls and let the Ia
conas steal four bases on him.
Hernons homer, yesterday, was the first he
has made since he commenced pla ing profes-
slonsl ball. Doubles and triples are common
with him. however.
Borchers struck out ten men yesterday and
was only hit safely FIVE times. but couldn't win,
partly on account of poor Dsekstop work
Stencil is now playing first base for Spokane,
Turner has gone into the out field and FIaherty
will probably be released.
Tacoma will not get Darrah after all. Manager
Glenalvfn has need OF such players.
Pat Wright and Jack Reidy may be expected
back to Tacoma almost any day.
Seattle played flty-two games before she put
up an errorless one.
Every run of yesterdays game was made after
two men were out.
President W. A. Hardy is out of town, on a trip
up the sound.
Spokane seems to average about FIVE errors to
game.

it is his legs. In his fight with
Mccarthy his underpinning gave

this reason the colored lad does not wear
