take Ne,rIv a Mic Deep.

BY far the deepest lake known in the
world is Lake I3alizil, in Siberia, which
is every way comparable To the great
Canadian lakes as regards size; for
while its area is over 5000 square
miles, making it about equal To Erie in
superficial extent, its enormous depth
of between 4,oOO and $500 feet makes
the volume of its waters almost equal
to that of Lake Superior. Although
its surface is 1850 feet above sea level,
its bottom is nearly 5000 feet below it.
The Caspian lake, or sea, as it IS usually
called, has 4 depth in its southern basin
of over 5000 feet, Lake Maggiore is
5000 feet deep. Lake Como nearly 2,oO0
feet. and Legodi Garla. another Italian
lake. has a depth in certain ; = - a
1900 feet. Lake Constance - over LOCO
feet deep and Huron and Michigan
reach depths of 900 and 1000 feet.
