THE MARKSMAN'S TROPHY

The beautiful International trophy offered
by the Robin Hood Powder Company OF
Swanton TO the competing gun club using
their powder and making the best record, is
on exhibition at the b. M Shepard Com
pany shoe store.
The trophy is a beautifully chased sterling
silver urn about eighteen inches in height
aud gold lin d. Il was won July 8, 1900, at
Swanton by the Union Gun Club, the mem
bers OF which are w. II. and b. A East
man OF Barre, G. B, Walton, q. o. Barrett
and Gale Bennett OF Montpelier.
Before the shoot at which time this tro-
ply was won the members OF the club wrote
the powder company asking IT, in case the
club won the trophy, it could name the
place whore the trophy should next be com
peted for, having in mind Montpelier.
Heretofore the competitive sch OILS have
been held either at Swanton. Burlington or
Montreal. The company's answer was
terse. They Informed the club that when
1t had shown IT'S ability to compete for the
trophy it would be time enough TO talk
| about the nexC place to hold the shoot.
The club has demonstrated its ability and
when the trophy is next competed for it
| will be in this city.

THE VOLTAPHONE.

For some six months W. e. Laird has
beeh perfecting machine, called the volta
phone, to be used in connection with cleo
trc power and lighting. Its object is to
enable the engineer at the power station al
ways to know just what service he is giving
the customers.
II electric lamps can be maintained at the
voltage for which they are intended great
saving is effected for the lighting company
and the customers are better pleased. The
voltsphone is the first machine ever made
that tells the engineer just the condition OF
the power he is furnishing, and the inven-
ton is attracting much favorable attention
from electrical people.
The machine is attached to the wall in
the power station. When the current is at
the standard voltage, II turned into the ma
chine, needle at certain mark indicates
this; If the voltage is below the standard,
there is slow rap-rap-rep; IL above, there
is a shower of blows Thus the engineer is
informed and he proceeds to regulate the
current according to the information Of the
voltaphone.
Mr.. Laird is completing another machine
which rings up the engineer and tells him
in numerals just what voltage he is supply
ing. Instead OF the measured rapping or
rapid hammering, the telephone is brought
into use. II the standard voltage is 100
when the telephone rings and the engineer
| puts the receiver to his ear the voltaphone
says to him "100 100, 100," if the current is
| on the standards II the current IL oil, andils
at 90, for example, the telephone repeats,
"95 90, 90; or II above, the figures that in
dictate the voltage. This is done through
come cton with gramaphone. When it
| is know that great loss may be occasioned
in single night by the breaking Of bulbs
through excessive voltage, or complaints
may come OF insufficient light from drop
ping OF voltage, the value of the voltaphone
may be appreciated. In other ways the in
strument will induce economy and etficien-
cy III furnishing light and power.
The machine Is exceedingly ingenious.
Ia conception and mechanical construction
being entirely the inventors hsudiwork-
it reflects the highest credit upon the skill
and intelligence of Mr.. Laird. He has con-
cluded arranG Gements with the Stanl y
Electric Manufacturing Co. OF Pittstield
Mass, to manufacture the machine, ana
expects to enter their employ In a short
time. The Stanley company claims TO have
made more large generators than any otf el
concern in the world, and it is now en-
gagged in getting out complete plant to be
installed In California The power station
is 100 miles from the city in which the cur.
rent is TO be used, and as the contract call
for 5000 horsepower the company pro
poses using aluminium cables and 60,00
volts pressure, which is about twice wha
has ever been used commercially. The in
ventOr merits professional and fnancia
success, and his friends hope he will
achieve both in abundant measure.

Two years, one might have thought and
said, would have changed all this. Bodily
