Low Water at Plunkett.
For the first time since its instal
lation Barton Municipal Electric plant
is handicapped because of low water.
For the past ten days Barton has
been without street ''lights and the
voltage has . been low much . of the
time but a little relief has been
found in the release of storage water
and the adding of a small generator
at the local Peerless factory's steam
plant.
Newport's system is in much worse
condition than Barton's, the city be
ing mostly . without lights Tuesday
evening and the voltage is so low as
to make the operation of electric mo
tors impractical. A large rainfall is
the only permanent relief from a ser
ious situation.

Avoid Trees During Storm."
It is generally conceded that to seek
refuge under a tree during a thunder
storm is more dangerous than to stay
out In the open. Some trees are mora
often struck than others, and one sci
entist describes the sycamore tree as
the most susceptible of all. But the
man who considers himself safe un
der an oak, because there Is a syca
more a few yards away, Is putting a
sublime faith In statistics. City dwell
ers are safer than country folk. The
great high masses of steel and mason
ry towering overhead offer a protec
tion. ' '

WORK OF ANCIENT BUILDERS Z$$?Jm Sldfilt
Methods of Thousands of Years Ago
Seem . Crude Today, but They
Were Effective.
Dr. C. S. Fisher of the University
of Pennsylvania has recently spent six'
pears at the head qf-archeological-expeditions
to Egypt, and among his dlsf .
coveries were some which help to
make the methods of the ancient build
ers less mysterious. Three . thousand
pears before Christ they were work
ing an alabaster quarry at El Amar
na, 11 miles from the Nile and 200
miles above Memphis. From this" quar
ry they transported blocks of alabas
ter, each many tons in weight, to Mem
phis In the following manner: .They
built a road, much as we should build
It now, from the quarry to the river
bank, with a smooth surface of
pounded stone. " ',
The blocks were quarried by means
of wooden wedges driven in at In
tervals along the cleavage line. When
soaked v with water, the wedges ex
panded and split off the stone, which
was then shaped and dressed with
chisels and drills of very hard bronze.
The blocks were mounted on sleds
and dragged by gans of slaves the

Society Gives Up Smoking.
Smoking has become such a boiir-
geois habit that many women of the
London aristocracy who have been us
ing tobacco are now shunning It, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about'the evil effects of over
indulgence In cigarettes, but it was
not unth smoking became a bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
In the smoking habits of women of
the so-called "upper ten."
At the moment the use of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be
sides, many tobacconists are Aanufac
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too com
mon to please certain figures In so
ciety, and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At some aristo
cratic garden parties recently few If
any women & the elect ventured to
smoke openly. So what medical men
have been , unable to do by their warn
ing Is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

County Court ,
The case of Arthur and Cora Emery
vs. Deputy Sheriff George Jeanings
of Barton and Special Police Officers
Bates, Atkins, Scott and Joslyn of
Orleans which came up for trial in
the Orleans county court, Monday, the
19th, is drawing -to an end after a
week's work. The case has been
watched with much interest, and dur
ing the trial the court rooms have
been filled with spectators. The case
is being hard fought by both sides,
five of the best attorneys in Or
leans and Caledonia counties are em
ployed by the parties involved.
Another important case which is
expected to come up for trial, follow
ing the disposal of the above case,
is that of Abraham Cohen.- Cohen
is widely known throughout Orleans
county and many other sections of the
state as a clever swindler. He was
sought by State's Attorney Albert
Farman and arrested while enjoying
the pleasures of a summer cottage with
his wife and, friends among the hills
of Maine on the shore of Lake Me
gunticok. Cohen represented himself
to be connected with a concern known
as the People's Furniture Co. of Bos
ton, Mass. Cohen was instrumental
in organizing clubs supposed to have
60 memebrs each, ' but which since
has been learned to have had a mem
bership of 400 or over. Fifty cents a
week was collected from each member,
and out of the membership, one was
to get a valuable prize each week,
which was in the form of a piece of
furniture. All went well until the col
lector failed to call for his weekly
payments. It was then that the pa
trons discovered that no such party
appeared at the address given them,
and the case was turned over to the
state's attorney.
Printers on Outing.
The second autumn outing of the
Gilpin, Hunt & Co.,- together with
their employees, took place Satuiday,
when a party of fifteen from the
Barton, Newport and North Troy of
fices motored to Jay where they
climbed Jay peak. Those from the
Monitor office left Barton about 8
o'clock in the morning and were join
ed at Newport by employees at the
Express and Standard plant. Upon
their arrival at North Troy they were
joined by others and the trip lo the
foot of the mountain was made in
three autos. A more beautiful day
could not have been asked for and
this,, with the beautiful scenery that
greeted the eye of those who made up
the party, could not be described in
words. Following the early fronts
the foilage of the trees presented
every color of the rainbow and in no
state on the map can such a picture
be found outside the Green Mountain
range. The party who started out
on that three mile hike were all
supplied with . food or the innevman,
for they had carefully considered the
distance and long tedious climb Which
must follow if they arrived at the
goal for which they sought. All of
the lunches were carried uiitil the
party had arrived at a beautiful
spring following over an hour's hike.
By the time those at the tear of the
line had come up with some who were
fleet of foot, every one was ready
tor ' lunch, and how the food dis
appeared. Following the repast, each
provided themselves with a sandwich
or some article of fruit and the trip
was resumed. The path for a milo
was easily covered, with now and then
a tree which had fallen across which
had to be climed over which checked
the speed of the hikers. Eah one
i had their own mode of travel, seme
hastened and took their rest, others
walked fast and at intervals stopped
for a short rest, while others took
a moderate gate all the way. The
last half mile - was some climb, up
over ihe rocks, which was gained only
by the assistance of trees with which
one might pull him or nerself up by.
In due time the rocky crest was
reached by the entire parcy, not one
slacker in thp bunch. Evtrv noart
was not only beating but they were
i jumping and thumpincr and in on!y
one instance did it appear that a
heart stimulant would have to bo
resorted to. Such a trip as that
would not be complete without the
camera man, and the first thing that
must be attempted was to get a
likeness of those present. After sev
eral cameras had clicked, every one
was ready to view the 3Cnery which
was gorgeous. As the party stood
there on a 4000 foot elevation, the
sight that spread out before them
could not have been painted with a
brush in the hands of the greatest
artist. There below for miles at the
foot of the mountain on all sides stood
acres and acres of timber land
without a break. In the distance the
great GreenMountain range presented
itself. The little villages of Newport
Center and Richford were plainly
visible to the eye and Lake Memphre
magog with its islands could be plain
ly seen nearly its entire 30 miles in
length and resembled the Connecticut
river in width. In another direction
one could look out over the valleys
and hills of Westfield and Lowell, and
in. another direction a small portion of
Lake Champlain could be seen. While
the climb was tedious, especially to
the ladies, yet the unanimous opinion
was that they were more than repaid
for the effort and strength that it took
to make it. Only the approach of
night persuaded the party to again
take up the trip that would take
them back over the path, first to the
food and spring, and then to the wait
ing autos which bore them to the
home ' of Wallace Sawyer at North
Troy where another lunch was pre
pared. The day will be one that
will be long remembered. Like those,
who made the trip, out of which oniy
four had ever viewed the scenery from
Jay peak, are hundreds o f others who
have lived under its shadows all their
life, and have never taken time" to
accomplish what this party accom
plished. No one should be born into
this world and reside at the footstool
of Jay peak and pass to the world
beyondwithout taking the trip. All
one needs is good heart action, and
if one is not possessed with .that they
should make the climb every morning:
before breakfast and they will live to
be a hundred.
