Utilizing Water Power.

According to present indications
the waterfalls and rapids in the coun-
try will some day be utilized as a gen
orator of electricity. The latest
achievement in the way of utilizing
power is throwing large wing dam
across the st. Lawrence at the La
chine rapids. This dam runs out
something more than 1000 feet into
the river, and takes in an immense
body of water. The entire length
of the dam is to be occupied by a
power house with an upbroken in
terror of at least 1000 feet. A large
number of minor streams and rapids
are being used for similar purposes.
With a good fall, a force sufficient to
run a good-sized dynamo may easily
be secured

At the West Washington station
house the police have an old law book,
! printed in 1921. which furnishes them
the text of the old laws covering GER
tain offenses. There are but few of
these books in existence, SO far as is
known, and when a case other than as
sault and battery or disorderly con-
duct is made the officer making the ar
rest usually has TO take this book TO
court to show his ground for action.
The police doing duty west of Rock
creek have not only to be able-bodied
men, strong and plucky enough to
handle ruffians and smart enough to
capture thieves, but they have to be
versed in all the ancient laws of George
town. Most of them can stand for
hours and discuss the legal status of
their section.
Reported in the book is law passed
August 4, 1875, which is intended to pre-
vent accidents arising from galloping
horses through streets. The act pro-
vides THAT any person, within the jur-
isdiction of this corporation, who shall
by galloping or otherwise force at an
improper speed any horse, mare sor

Especial Washington letter.

The laws which are enforced in the
District of Columbia are peculiar. Many
of the old laws of Maryland, which were
made before this land was coded to
the federal government, are still in
force. Then thereare federal laws which
were enacted before the creation of the
territorial form ofgove1nment; laws en-
acted by the territorial legislature,
and laws enacted by congress since the
present form of government was Gre
ated in 1879.
The ancient city of Georgetown was
an independent corporation until re-
Gently, but it is now West Washington.
1t is separated from the national cap
ital by Rock creek, and the laws there
are in many instances different from
the laws on the east side of Rock creek
Many acts punishable as offenses in
that section do not constitute offenses
under the laws governing the rest of the
district. Many of these old laws, though
they may never have been repealed, are
seldom enforced, and then only when
many complaints are made about a
certain thing, and the old law books are
overhauled. Now and then one of
these old law books is resurrected, and
for awhile persons have to obey it, but
il soon becomes a dead letter again,
and the Jaw is violated with impunity
for another score or more of years.
Every few years the question of observ-
ing the Sabbath is agitated. Some of
the old laws are found to meet the case.
1t is a violation of one of the old George
town corporation laws to sell on Sun
day any article except medicines, fresh
fish, milk and other perishable goods
which cannot be kept over night with
safety, but this law is seldom enforced,
and then only when complaint is made,
or after a general order has been is
sued notifying storekeepers to close
their places on Sunday. This law, like
many others, has been contested in
the courts and found to be valid.
Then there is another law which pro-
hibits any manual labor on the Sab
bath. This law, like the preceding one,
has been contested and held to be still
in force. 1t provides:
THAT more cffectually to prevent ir-
regular practices so common on Sun
day, every person working or com
manding, or suffering their children or
slaves TO work, except in cases of neces-
sity, or otherwise profane the Sabbath
by gaming. hunting, fishing or other
unlawful pastimes, shall, on conviction,

firing Of guns or other firearms was
made punishable under an act of Octo-
Der "a, 1891. The penalty prescribed
rns five dollars, one-half of which
went TO the informer. If the person
violating the law was slave or in
dentured servant the penalty was ten
lashes, unless two dollars was paid by
his or her master or mistress.
An act to prevent goats from running
at large was passed in 1906, giving per-
sons power to kin all goats found run
ming at large, and to sell the same at the
market-house to the best advantage,
the person doing so to retain one-half
the money received and the corporation
TO receive the other half. September 4,
1904, an act was passed to keep dogs out
