Electric Lighting.

The Pen:nsular General Electric COM
pany, No. 81 Ottawa street, have made
arrangements with the Sintz Gas and
Gasoline Engine company IS their ex-
elusive agents for the state of Michi-
gan. The extremely low cost of oper-
ating this engine enables the consum-
ers who are using small number of
lights per day, to do that same amount
of lighting for At least one-fifth of
their present expense. This engine we
will warrant to light from 10 to 1916
C. P. Incandescent lamps per horse
power and the fuel will not exceed, if
gasoline 10 burned, cent, and if gas Is
burned II cents per hour per horse
power. The engine is perfectly au-
tomato and can be run by an inexperi-
enced man. Parties having plants of
their own, aside from the question of
fuel would have to purchase their own
lamp renewals. this of course will very
slightly increase the expense, as the
lamps have An average life of 600
hours and this company can furnish
lamp renewals for burned ont lamps at
25 cents each. We will have in q very
few DAYS Arc and Incandescent lamps
in our store, operated by this engine,
when we will be very glad to have any
one come in and inspect and run the
plant themselves.

Helen Stuart Richings of Boston en-
tertained large audience At Lincoln

and psycnOmetric tests. In answer to
questions she argued that there exists

which souls communicate though apart

the WIDER the range. Every thought
that finds expression on an external
plane also iints II on sn internal plane.
Continuing thIs thought, she reasoned
that the currents extend INTO the spirit
world, where are good and bad spirits
and some spirits SO like 10 some yet in
tue earthly existence that commune
cation - with them easy. She eald
that the sixth sense of intuition Is
rapidly becoming recognized. In clos
ing she remarked that the coming
woman of the future is already here (at
least . few of herr, but that's the COM
ing man had not yet arrived. What
the demeanor OF the coming man will
be was outlined la striking con-
trsst TO the present mans conduct.
Before beg:nning her psychometric
tests Mrs. Rlcnings explained that while

communication from the spirit
world aud imparting 1t to another,
