Mr. EDlToR:-The discussion of the sewage
question and the improvement of Back Bay, is
no new matter, but its revival though long de-
ferred is hopeful. In the light of the science of
hydraulic engineering, have long been of the
opinion that Back Bay might be utilized in q
way SO as to furnish large amount of water
power, and have the flats entirely covered with
water, most of the time at nearly high tide
level. This would involve substantial dam
across the channel with ship-way with tide.
acting gates to furnish facilities for running in
ships at high tide, with counter gates which
might be opened at low tide, which would fur
nish the most thorough means of securing the
floor of the whole bay, by opening the counter
gates at the lowest tide and letting the water
out of the bay in its full heart and force. By
this process the channel would be made deeper
Ships might be afoat in the bay at all times or
the water might be let out at times for the pur-
pose of changing the water in the bay and
securing the bottom, and this would settle the
sanitary question in all coming time and Back
Cove would he as sweet as reservoir or Sebago
Lake. My plan for utilizing Back Bay as a
water power for msaufacting purposes was
submitted to the Board of Trade several years
since, and the paper is probably on file among
their papers. HYDRAULIUs.

A Big BLAsT.-Capt. Isaac Hamilton, now
engaged in removing Dry Rock from the chan
mel of the Kennebec river, under the super
vision of Gen. Thorn, make big blast last
Saturday. Five charges, each seven feet, were
arranged in their regular order on the platform.
The drill holes were being carefully sounded
out by the captain. The charges were then
delivered by the careful hand of Mr.. Nathaniel
Gordon to Messrs. Fletcher and Pahlberg,
competent and experienced divers, who have
care of the submarine blasting, and were low
cred by Mr.. Pahlberg twenty feet into the solid
ledge. The platform was then cleared of all
the workmen except two and Mr.. Gordon. The
wires were quickly connected with the battery,
the vessel hauled off to a proper distance, the
spectators stood upon the quarter deck, and the
captain gave the command to fire. The bat
terry was instantly charged, and the electric
spark communicating with seventy pounds Of
glycerine, exploded, and in less than second
of time five hundred tons of stone were torn
from their ancient beds.
