NIAGARA NOW ON ‘DOUBLE TURN’

Sightseers May View Great Cataract Both Night and Day. The city of Niagara Falls believes in promoting progress. The people of that community have lamented for years the waste of perfectly good water that poured over the American rapids and falls during the hours of darkness without benefit of tourists. Experiments with searchlights failed to supply the needed illumination be cause the glare of the lights spoiled the effect. But_after ten years of experimentation an inventor has sue-

ceeded in devising a system of illumination which throws the light thru the water and subordinates the artificial illumination to the natural wonder. The new illumination was originally invented for theatrical purposes as a safety first method of lighting, but it has proved to be just the thing needed for stage lighting Niagara. Tl*e city of Niagara Falls has closed a contract "'under which the American rapids *and falls will l)e every night hereafter. The city’s enthusiastic publicity agent writes that “you have never really looked upon the falls until you have seen them pierced and lifted out of the darkness by a flood light of 506,000 candles. Men who have lived upon the brink of the mighty cataract a lifetime, who have seen it under every condition, in storm and calm, have said this, and they have the indorsement of the City of Niagara Falls behind them.” Hereafter sightseers will have special inducement to stay over night with resulting profit to the city of Niagara Falls. * ' v One of the best remedies in case of bowpl troubles is a partly beaten raw egg taken at one swallow.
