The reservoir is Is miles long with
a maximum depth of 200 feet Its
capacity is 244,3000 acre-feet which if

Queens and Richmond to the same

that my position in this matter is

THROWING OF BOMBS
 IS NO EASY TASK
English Officer Describes Four Main
 Types Used In Fighting in France and Flanders.

@a London, Aug. 21.-The various kinds of bombs now being used m France and Flanders are described by an English officer in a letter rom the front. There are, he says four main types-the S'hairbrush, the "cricket ball." the "policeman's clup and the "jam-tin." Bomb thro"ers are alluded to in trench slang as anarchists
 "The hairbrush.'' explains the writer, .'is very like the ordinary hairbrush, except that the bristles are replaced by a solid block of high explosive. The policeman's trunch- con has gay steamers of tape tied to it's tail, to insure it falling to the ground nose downward. Both these bombs explode on impact, and it IS inadvisable to knock them against anything-say the back of the trench when throwing them..
 'sThe cricket ball works by a time fuse. The removal. of a certain pin releases a spring, which lights an internal fuse timed to explode the bomb in five seconds. You take the bomb in your right hand, remove the pin, and cast the thing madly from you.
 '"The jam-tin variety appeals more particularly to the sportsman, as the element of chance enters largely into it's successful use. It is timed to explode about ten seconds after the lighting of the fuse. It is there fore unwise to throw 1t too soon, as there would be ample time for your opponent to pick it up and throw 1t back. On the other hand, it is un- wise to hold on too long, as the fuse is uncertain in it's action and is given to short cuts"
