Niagara by Electric Light.

The Michigan Central Railway has placed an order with the General Electric Company of Schenectady, N. Y., for two powerful search-lights with which to illuminate Niagara Falls. The order calls for two forty-eight-inch lamps of 100,000 candle power each. These will be operated from the Falls

View Station terrace, and with different colored lenses or slides a brilliant effect will be produced upon tho raging waters of the rapids and the falls. The power to generate the current will be token from the river Itself. The onljr similar attempt of illuminating waterfalls is that of the famous Rhine at Schloss Lanfen, Germany, This, it is promised, will sink Into Insignificance beside lluminated Niagara.
