NIAGARA’S LIGHTS TO RIVAL THE SUN To Turn Power It Produces Back On Itself. Buffalo, N. l r .. May 23.—Niagara Falls is to furnish its own power for a battery of searchlights which will throw back one and a third billions of eandlepower of light upon herself. The new illumination is scheduled for its in auguration tomorrow night, and it is expected that thousands will visit the Falls to witness the wonderful sight. Eighteen years ago W. d’Arey Ryan, the eminent illuminating engiheer, made Niagara something to be remembered when he first illuminated the waterfalls with searchlights. Hundreds of thou sands of persons were attracted to the Falls, and it was often necessary at night to close Ihe bridges to the large crowds which gathered for the display. The illumination was continued for thirty nights, the time stipulated before the project was undertaken. Since then the only illumination of the Fulls lias been provided by small incandescent flood ligbtsT which have proven irnsat isfactofy and did not produce the spectacular ef fects of the searchlights. Under the terms of a contract recent ly signed, the lighting of the Falls will far surpass that of 1 DOT. More power ful lights will be used, solar screens will bo provided, and it will be possible to have light drills with scintillating beams of many hues radiating in all directions —concentrated on one fall, distributed oyer both, or sent into the heavens to be visible for a distance of 100 miles un der suitable atmospheric conditions. International co-operation has made the permanent lighting of the Falls pos sible. The cities of Niugnra Falls in New York state and Ontario, together with the Victoria Park Commission and the Hydro-Electric. Power Oommisssion of Ontario, have joined in the financing of this project . Thirty per cent, more light will be used in the new installa tion than in 1907. The first attempt to illuminate the Falls was in 1884 by Alfred Bierstatd. who desired to exhibit the waters at night to a party of English railroad men. He placed a quantity of powder on the ledge of rocks beneath the American Falls. This display was effective, al though some of the powder became damp ened from the spray of the Falls and did not ignite. ‘ The present installation of lights will be on tlie Canadian side. The Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ontario will donate the necessary electric power to operate the lights for about four hours every night. Goat Island and she rapids above the Falls will be dimly illumi nated with flood lights, as the 1907 dis play showed that best results were ob tained when those two beauty spots were also lighted to some extent. A special feature of the program will be a reproduction of the same light on Niagara Falls as was seen during the recent eclipse of the sun. All the Beautiful and spectacular effects observed during the solar eclipse were recorded by cameras and special labora tory apparatus set up at the Falls. The varying light intensities were accurate ly recorded, and Mr. Ryan, the engineer in charge of tlw project, declares he can reproduce at toght with artificial lights what tlie sun did for the first time in more than one hundred years. Mr. Ryan is regarded as probably the foremost expert in America in the mat ter of great illuminations. He was one of the first to develop tlie flood lighting system, one of his earliest experiments being the illumination of the Singer building tower in New York city. He also directed the spectacular lighting ef fects of the Rio de Janeiro Centennial International Exposition. With Our Advertisers.

FEEL AMUNDSEN HAS FOUND POLE Or At Least That He Has Found Intermediate Piece of Land On Which He Can Make His Observations. Oslo. Norway, May 28 (By the Associ ated Press).—The Shipping Gazette re ports that weather Condition for Capt. Amundsen's polar flight continue very fav orable. and there is every hope of tbe ex pedition returning safely. A dispatch to the paper sayß the tem perature is now mild. The steamer Farm is not in communication with the other expedition ship Hobby. a» the latter is not equipped witli wireless. Those with Arctic experience or other expert knowledge believe Amundsen's ab sence indicated that he had landed at the pole, or had discovered an intermediate piece of land on which he had descended for observations. In either case it is pointed out he might experience difficulties in attempt ing to again take the air. Norwegian press comments agree in tlie view that Amundsen must have land ed at the Pole. The newspapers argue that otherwise by now he would have re turned to Spitzbergen. Captain Otto Hverdrufi, Norwegian Arctic explorer, said that he did not think the discovery of new lands by Amundsen was probably. He expressed the opinion that there is no land about the North Pole, recalling that Peary did not see land around the region of the 88th degree north. He said in his opin ion the polar basin in the regions of the North Pole are made up of open waters and drifts of ice. Major (lunar Isaehen, another Arctic explorer expressing a contrary view, said lie would not exclude the possibility of Amudseu discovering new laud. Ready to Offer Aid.
