The water. Works Extension.

Major Lydecker's report of operations on
the water works extension during January
has been submitted to the Chief of Engi-
neers.
A few clamps and bolts were put into the
dam at Great Falls TO strengthen it and de-
crease the damage from ice aud freshet
The work has thus far sustained little in
jury; the rip-rap has broken through in
several places and portions of the coffer-dam
have been carried away, but the finished
work remains in tact. No work will be
done during February.
Work on the tunnel progressed with
more vigor during January than any pre-
vious month. The lining of the drift of
the west shaft was completed and con-
nected with the brick and concrete we'll.
Progress of 1876 feet was made on foundry
branch shaft. Arrangements arc being
made for putting mules and cars at work
on tramways in tho drifts. Progress of
1S7 feet was made on Rock Creek shaft,
1913 feet on Champlain avenue shaft and 80
feet on East shaft etc.
The rock in several of the shafts Is phe.
nomenally hard, and requires much time to
drill. Gas has been introduced to illumi-
nate shafts that are being lined Work

present month.
Little work was done on the reservoir
except on the trenches, and little will be
accomplished during February.

VALUABLE INVENTION.
The Harden Hand Grenade.

One of the most wonderful inven-
lions Of this century is the Harden {" Star "
Hand Grenade. OF course every one knows
what the Hand Grenade is used for. 1t
is to put out fires, and it does it most
efiectually. Tho Hand Grenade has stopped
hundreds of what might have been great
coDflagIations. When a fire breaks out
the Hand. Grenade should be thrown into
the thickest of the flames. Hundreds of
practical tests have been made and no
failures recorded. A short time ago fire
broke out in room in the Boston JourhGt
Office.
The room was filled with innammable
stuff. That papefln speaking of tho fire,
said that two hand grenades were brought
into use and instantaneously the flames
were subdued, thus preventing the possible
destruction of the Journal building Signal
Observer Lehman, of Portland, Me-, in q
communication dated January 81, 1885, says:

Taxing the Residences OF Foreign
MfmIaterA.

The question of whether residences owned
or occupied by foreign ministers are liable
to taxation has occupied the attention
of the District Commissioners and their at
torney, Mr.. Riddle, for some time past.
The matter was recently referred to the
Secretary of State who has written the
Commissioners stating that such questions
are generally settled according to usage.
The custom in this country has been that
all residences owned by foreign govern
ments should not be taxed, nor are the
ministers themselves obliged to pay taxes
on any personal property. The law on the
subject when properly interpreted, it is
stated, makes them liable for local taxes,
such as for gas, water and sewerage, but for
exempted. He cites q number Of authOri-
ties in support Of this construction.
