RANGE AND GALLERY. 



BARREL REFLECTORS. 



THE two i s, A and B, illustrate various forms of reflectors or 

 inspection glasses intended to enable the rifleman to take a 

 quick and ready view of the interior of bis rifle barrel. Fig. A is tbe 

 ^ invention of Capt. Russell, U.S. A ... 



and is intended for use with tbe 

 U. S. Army Springfield arm. The 

 brass frame, L, outlined, shaped 

 to lit the receiver, holds an in- 

 clined mirror, M. The bar, B, 

 across the front of the frame, 

 holds the breech block open. Tbe 

 mirror is backed by a wooden 

 plug, D, sot inside the brass sbell. 

 The projections, f.hold the mirror 

 in place. For muzzle inspection 

 the glass may be used to throw 

 light into the barrel. 



Fig. B is a device placed on the 

 English market for use. by holders 

 of Martini-Henry rifles. It slips 

 diagonally into the open recess be- 

 hind the breech, and like the other is very handy for use by in- 

 specting officers. Baxendale & Co., of Manchester, the patentees, 

 claim for it "extreme simplicity and durability, combined with

moderate price. Can be instantly attached and as speedily de- 

 tached without the least in jury to tbe rifle. It shows at a glance 

 and throughout the tntire length the exact state of the interior 

 of the barrel and chamber, and affords one of tbe best safeguards 

 to assist officers in command in their inspection of rifles." 



SMOKELESS POWDER. 



THE wrangle over the question who invented smokeless powder 

 promise's to take its plnce with the query about the author- 

 ship of "Beautiful Snow" or that other unsettled matter of the 

 assault on Billy Patterson. Anyhow, tbe Berlin Post has published 

 an explanation, as it is termed, with the object of putting an end 

 to the controversy. The journal is "authorized to state" that the 

 compound was invented by Major General Kuester, director of 

 the powder mills at Spandau. It is further announced that the 

 officer received from the Emperor in person, upon the ground 

 where his Majesty had just witnessed tin- tests of the powder, an 

 order for 50,000 marks as a recognition of the value ot his inven- 

 tion. The BevlHciw. Ilrrres-Zt itung says that the Nobel Dynamite 

 Company has signed an agreement with the German Government 

 for the supply of a large quantity of smokeless powder. At a 

 meeting held recently at Hamburg the directors of the com- 

 panies forming part of the association discussed the questions of 

 contracts and choice of firms for manufacturing the said powder. 

 Those of Hamburg, Opladen and Dresden have been selected. 



The London Olohc finds in the MiUtarischc ZeUunt/ a high 

 flown article pointing out many disadvantages which will attend 

 the use of the new smokeless powder, which was tried at tbe 

 recent review at Spandau. The duties of tbe guard and the 

 patrol will be made immeasurably more difficult by the absence 

 of the smoke and noise, which, in tbe case of the employment of 

 ordinary powder, attracted their attention to, and pointed out 

 the position of the enemy. On the other hand, it will render 

 capital service to the Franc-tireurs, whose object it is to escape 

 from and confuse the guard. Sudden attacks and surprises will 

 become matters of such daily occurrence that outposts and 

 patrols will have to be immensely strengthened and kept at the 

 utmost tension of watchfulness. Firing drill and discipline must 

 necessarily be made much stricter than at present. The most 

 important fault of tbe smokeless powder is, however, tbe terrible 

 clearness, the overwhelming distinctness with which, when it is 

 used in battle, every man will be able to see the carnage and 

 slaughter around him. Hitherto, the heavy roll of the tiring lias 

 mercifully smothered the cries and shrieks of the wounded: the 

 cloud of powder smoke has veiled the horrible sight of men piled 

 in heaps, dying and dead, their dreadful sufferings, their agon- 

 ized end. Eacn man, lighting behind a thick fog of smoke, which 

 was only wafted aside now and then by a gust of wind, or light- 

 ened by a pause in the tiring, felt a certain sense of screened 

 security, mistaken, indeed, but none the less reassuring, until he 

 himself was struck by the fatal bullet. How will it be in the 

 future? The fall of each man who is shot down will he clearly 

 seen by his comrades; every cry of anguish will be heard by half 

 the company; the least hesitation, the least vacillation which, 

 through the rapid change of commander that a death or a severe 

 wound often renders necessary, will be immediately observed by 

 the men and rob them of that feeling of perfect confidence they 

 ought to have in their officers. 



All this building castles upon a smokeless foundation is very 

 pretty, but there comes a report, that the new powder docs not 

 wear well in loaded cartridges. That.it deteriorates when kept, 

 and if this be so its use must he very slight in real warfare. After 

 all it may turn out that the new chemical explosive is a pretty 

 toy for tbe government, profitable only to the officers who man- 

 ipulated its sale to the German authorities. 



PHOTOGRAPHING A FLYING RIFLE BULLET BY ELEC- 

 TRICITY.— Photographs of the interior of the gun are taken by 

 means of tbe electric light, and the information obtained by these 

 means is most valuable, and is manifestly more satisfactory than 

 that given by the method of taking impressions of the bore in soft 

 rubber. Photography has also been made use of in studying the 

 motion of the projectile. In the case of large guns instantaneous, 

 views of the shot during its flight have been successfully taken by 

 means of the camera provided with a quick-acting shutter. This 

 method is not applicable, however, to small arms. A rifle bullet 

 is a very small object, and the camera; must be set very near its 

 path in order to obtain a picture of sufficient, size to be of use; 

 but the nearer the instrument is placed to the moving object to 

 be photographed the more rapid is the, motion of the image over 

 the plate, and no "instantaneous" or quick-acting shutter could 

 possibly be made to operate with sufficient rapidity, or at tne 

 proper instant, to give a sharply defined picture. The desired end 

 is accomplished, however, by the aid of electricity. The camera 

 is provided with an extremely sensitive plate and placed in a dark 

 room, through which the bullet is made to pass. The instant the 

 bullet is in front of the camera it breaks an electric circuit, pro- 

 ducing a spark which illuminates the bullet for an instant, and 

 its image is impressed upon the sensitive plate. The duration of 

 the electric spark is almost infinitesimal, and since the plare is 

 affected only during the continuance of the spark, a well-defined 

 photograph of an object moving at a greater velocity than that of 

 sound is obtained. Such pictures show tbe condensation of the 

 air in front of the bullet, the vacuum behind it, and the eddies 

 and currents produced in tbe surrounding atmosphere bv its 

 motion; and they afford information which is of value in deter- 

 mining the best shape to be given to the projectile in order to 

 reduce to a minimum the resistance which the air opposes to its 

 flight, and so increase its range and effect.— Lieut. John Milli*, in 

 Scribncr. 



V1LLISOA, Iowa, Oct. 1.— A match was shot here to-day by the 

 Villisca Special Rifle Team. Being a nice day, there was a 'good 

 crowd of spectators who watched very closely the indicator as it 

 would show the result of each man's shot; .32cal. Winchester, 

 Ballard and Marlin rifles were used. There were three matches, 

 $1 to enter, divided 50,30 and 20 per cent. One gun with peep 

 sight was handicapped at the rate of 3 points for every 10 shots.

REVOLVER MATCH, Cincinnati. Oct. l.-The revolver match 

 between Messrs. J. B. Copcland, of Dayton, Ky., and B. J. Robert- 

 son, of Covington, Ky., for the championship of Ohio, Indiana 

 and Kentucky, which was to hav e taken place on the range of the 

 Kentucky Rifle Association, Sept. 15, and which was postponed 

 successively from the 15th to the 23d, and from the 23d to the 29th, 

 because of the failure of Mr. Robertson to put in an appearance, 

 much to the disappointment of many who were present to witness 

 the contest, was shot by Mr. Copeland on the 29th at the t^rne and 

 place appointed, being witnessed by several disinterested parties. 

 It Mr. Robertson fails to participate in his part of the match in- 

 side of two weeks from tbe 29th of September, at the place and 

 under the conditions specified in the terms of the match, Mr. 

 Copeland will rightfully lay claim to the championship title 

 above referred to. Appended are Copelaud's scores, which were 

 shot in a drizzling rain from start to finish, and which had the 

 effect of making the shooting somewhat unpleasant. Conditions, 

 100 shots at 50yds., with Smith & Wesson .44cal. Russian model 

 revolver, factory ammunition, standard target, under the rules of 

 the Massachusetts Rifle Association governing revolver shooting;

NEWARK. N. J., Oct. 3.— To-day the members of the Newark 

 Shooting Society met at the Schuetzen Society's grounds in South 

 Orange. Among the rifle shots present, were delegations from all 

 the neighboring cities. New York sent among others Barney 

 Walthers. Barney's coadjutors were C. G. Zettler, H. Holses, 

 Geo. Joiner and G. W. Downs, all of the Zettler Rifle Club. 

 The Philadelphia Rifle Club was represented by Messrs. Wm. 

 Wurffleiu, E. T. Travis and J. M. Green; the New York Rifle Club 

 by Wm. P. Uhler. The home club — Newark Shooting Society— was 

 represented by the great champion of 200yds. shots, Wm. Hayes, 

 and Messrs. Freche, Bergerow, Seitz, Felzberg, Cleveland, Egger, 

 and a dozen others. The light was anything but favorable, with 

 dense clouds flying across the face of a bright sun. Mrs. G. W. 

 Downs accompanied her husband to the grounds and took much 

 interest in the shooting. The little lady is about 5ft. 3in. tall, 

 stoutly built, has blue eyes of most pleasing expression, and 

 handles a lOlbs. Ballard rifle as if its weight was but that of a 

 feather. The shooting began promptly at 3 P.M., and continued 

 without intermission until it was too dark to sight the. bnllseyes. 

 The scores: Honor target— F. A. Trenzenhauer 46, G. D. Berge-

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.-At the regular monthly 

 meeting of the National Rifle Association on the 1st, Gen. Win- 

 gate reported that as president of the Association he had submit- 

 ted the deed and abstract, of title of Creedmoor to the Attorney 

 General, and it was probable that the transfer of the range to the 

 ownership of the State would he effected within a few weeks at 

 the latest. Resolutions commemorative of the late Gen. Rodney 

 C. Ward, Treasurer of the Association, offered by Secretary John 

 S. Shepherd were adopted. The financial statement of the recent 

 prize meeting held at Creedmoor has not yet been made up, but 

 sufficient data were reported to be on hand to show that the 

 Association, as the result, of the storm, would be called upon to 

 meet a deficit of close upon $1 000. 



MARION, N. J., Oct. 1.— Cool and shifting winds were of no ad- 

 vantage to the members of the Marion Rifle Club this afternoon, 

 when they held their weekly competition on tho club grounds at 

 Marion, and consequently the scores were very poor, as can he 

 seen by the record of the leading marksmen: William Weber 193, 

 John Rebhan 188. L. P. Hansen 169. H. Hoersch 169, G. C. V'arick 

 160, C. Bauchle 152 and Thomas Stiff 150. These weekly competi- 

 tions were begun the first week in April, and will terminale on 

 Thanksgiving day. Tho main object ot holding the weekly shoots 

 is to decide the championship of tho club for each year, the win- 

 ner receiving a gold badge valued at, ?50. Up to date Messrs. John 

 Rebhan and L. P. Hansen are in the lead, with the others closely 

 upon them. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. — The funeral of Chevalier Ira Paine, the 

 world's crack rifle shot, took place from his late home, on Delane 

 street, at 2 o'clock to-day, his body having arrived here Thursday 

 from Paris. Rev. Thomas II. Cocroft, of the Church of the Mes- 

 siah, performed the Episcopal service. The body was buried at 

 Swan Point. The floral tributes included a cross from Buffalo 

 Bill, a broken lyre from Nate Sauls bury and other pieces from 

 members of Buffalo Bill's company, all of which accompanied 

 tho remains from Paris. There was also a reproduction in flow- 

 ers of the emblems won by the Chevalier, from Miss Jennie M. 

 Paine, and other pieces from prominent theatrical people. 



HOBOKEN RIFLEMEN.-The annual fall shoot of the Hobo- 

 ken Independent, Schuetzen Corps was held at Kroeble's Park. 

 Jersej r City Heights, on Oct. 2. The shooting was mostly of pool 

 events, and Messrs. Baeman, Meyers and Behn had rheir pockets 

 well filled with shekels when darkness set in. The officers for tbe 

 year were as follows: Capt., August. Re wig; Lieut., John Lehmer; 

 First Shooting Master, H. Leith; Second Shooting Master, John 

 Meyer; Sec'y, N. Stonden. 



AT CONLIN'3.— Proprietor Conlin has a curiosity that excites 

 the. interest of Gotham marksmen. It is a genuine old-fashioned 

 Kentucky squirrel rifle. It is nearly 6ft. long and very heavy. 

 Five shots were fired recently from a self-cocking revolver in 

 three-quarters of a second at 20yds. distance by A. A. Cohen and 

 William Kent, each of which would have been fatal if fired at a 

 living man instead of the target figure. 



MERIDEN, Conn.— The first annual rifle match of the Citizens 

 Rifle Club, of Moriden, Conn., will be held at their new rifle 

 range, Oct. 15 and 16.
