IN electric target-th that is, target
which by means of electricity shows,
instantaneonsly, upon another target
set up at the firing station, the exact
spot where bullet strikes, and thus
does away with the necessity of en-
ploying marker to signal the result
of each shot-has been lately perfect
ed, after years of labor, by Swiss
locksmith The precise details Of this
invention are not yet made known,
but description is given Of another
similar device in a Swiss paper, and
which has recently been tried with
snccess. In this contrivance, the face
is divided into number of concentrie
rings, and each ring again is divided
by two Eres drawn right across the
faces and crossing each other at right
angles at the centre. In each of the
subdivisions of the target. at the firing
station, small hole is pierced, and,
when bullet strikes the distant tar-
get, number at once appears in the
hole 10 the corresponding subdivision
of the target near the shooter-or,
should the ball strike upon one Of the
lines dividing the face of the target,
numbers are shown in both the ada
cent subdivisions. III the trials made
with this apparatus, it was found to
work perfectly during the eight days
for which the firing was kept up, the
only accident that occurred being that
orce the electric wire was cut by
bullet
