would carry it to too great height.
This device was Vaniman's, and 1t

that as the buoyancy of the airship
grew less the tanks could be hauled

in which the crew, instruments, motor

made Of steel tubing, steel cross mem.

having tensile strength of 10000

Profit by French Accident.

The accident which sent a French
dirigible tumbling out Of the air, kill
ing it's entire crew, happened because
Of a splintered propeller. A flying
wedge Of wood, hurled upward, tore a
long rent through the gas envelope.
Vaniman noted that accident also, and
when he was choosing propellors for
the America he chose a model CON-
posed Of finely Joined layers Of wood,
selected for the perfection of their
grains. and alternating between two
different kinds, French walnut and
a French mahogany.
Then, to add still more certainty of
escape from harm from that source, a
strong linen envelope was woven to
fit the whole blade, the envelope being
slipped on like glove and then glued
down, the glue being forced through
the cloth after it's adjustment by CON-
pressed air.
The explosion Of gas bags in the air
has been constant source Of trouble
to balloonists, both of the dirigible
and drifting kinds. Wellman made a
special study of envelope materials.
He refused to follow Zeppelin in the
use of an aluminium casing over in
terror balloons, because he said it gave
an initial weight which cut very seri-
ously into the net lifting power. The
ordinary balloon cloth Of rubber and
silk allowed too much filtration of gas
for anything like a transatlantic cruise

GOOD COLOR IN MAPLE SUGAR.
II. B. Chaplin Of Middlesex, Tells How
IL May BE Obtained.

H. b. Chaplin of Middlesex writes
as follows in the New England
Homestead:
ut is getting to be better under-
stood every year that light color in
maple goods is an indication of high
quality and fine, delicious flavor.
Consequently, 1t pays to retain this
light natural color, and not let the
sugar or syrup become dark from
lack of care in the process of con-
verting sap into the marketable pro-
duct.
Several sugar makers who were
exhibitors and speakers at the last
annual meeting of the Vermont ma
pie sugar makers association have
been able to make so nice a quality
of cake sugar as to get 25 cents per
pound for nearly their whole crop,
and this same sugar has been re-
tailed IN some towns in Vermont at
the beginning of the season as high
as 65 cents per pound.
an order to make this quality of
goods it is necessary to have dry
wood that will make a hot, quick
fire and boil away the sap very rap
idly. The longer sap is kept after it
runs from the tree the poorer the
product All the utensils should be
washed and scalded frequently, the
boiling apparatus almost daily. 1t is
now generally conceded that the poor
quality of sugar and syrup produced
during the latter part of the season
is more due to lack of care in keep
| ing things around the sugar bush
clean than to any real difference in
the sap Another thing that improves
the quality is to get out the inter, sc

county has ever known. His treatment
of the prisoners under his care and
control, and his management of the
county jail in all respects are too well
known to be commented upon, his ac-
tivity in all respects having attracted
attendtion and received flattering
commentator throughout the State.
AS far as known at the present time
Mr. Tracy will be in the field alone.
1t is pretty safe to say that nothing
like vigorous opposition will crop up
to oppose him, although the Democrats
at their county convention may give
someone nomination merely as a
matter of courtesy. 1t is almost
certain however, that he will
not encounter any opposition from
within the ranks of his own party.
Mr.. Tracy was born in Chelsea
coming to this city 16 years ago. In
the last election, when he was opposed
by Alexander M. Smith of Barre, De-
mocrat, he was elected by an enor-
nous majority, carrying the twenty
towns and cities in the county. He
carried his home city. Montpelier, by
a vote of 951 to 421. His majority III
Barre was almost the same.

Will Follow Up Matter.

Because several of the owners of
public buildings in Rutland have so
far failed to comply with the statutes
by providing fire escapes on their
structures, according to instructions
from Health Officer C. F. Ball, given
at the instigation of the State Board
of Health, and the attempts by some
of them to evade the law, Prof j. III.
Votel of Burlington, sanitary engi-
neer for the State Board of Health,
will visit Rutland probably during the
first part of next week.
1t is understood that some owners
are taking advantage of a POSSIBLE
ity for them to evade the letter of the
law by by converting the third floor
of buildings formerly used for pub
lie purposes, into tenements, as the
statutes provide that such structures
of three stories or more, used for
public purposes, shall be provided
with fire escapes, and the law says

Muster of Vermont National Guard

Gen. w. H. Gilmore was at his Of
flee in the State House Friday at
ternoon and stated that he would is
sue orders to the National Guard
within a few days, relative to the
spring inspection, but that he was
held up at the present time, owing
to the fact that he did not know who
the United States inspection officer
would be. The practice will be held
on about the same dates as last year
and will cover much the same
ground
In speaking of the encampment and
muster next summer, the General said
that he was not certain where 1t
would be held, but he thought that
the troops from this State would in
all probability, go to Pine Plains, n.
Y, and hold manoeuvers in con-
junction with the militia of that STATE
and a detachment of regulars as
well. An invitation was received from
the New York department asking the
Vermont troops to be present and it
has been accepted. There is one
condition, governing the matter how
ever, and that is that in the event OF
the U. S. Senate not passing the bill
introduced and passed in the House
of Representatives for an appropri-
ton.
The militia went to Pine Plains two
years ago and much benefit was de-
rived from the manoeuvres and wal
games held there, in addition to tins
fine trip afforded the men. The tri.
does not cost Vermont any more thar
the State muster as all that they
have to pay, is the difference between
the Federal appropriation and tn,
total cost.
