the twentieth century the artificial
lighting has attained such wonderful
prominence that enthusiastic persons
are found who predict that the Pan

wonderful by night than by day. With

nature adds TO the reality OF the spec
tacle by furnishing downpour.
Thunder Is understood to be a COM
motion Of the air brought about by the
passage of electricity. When storms
are in progress, people standing at DIFF
ferent points hear different sounds. A
person close to flash Of lightning
hears only one sharp report. while per-
sons at distance hear the SAME report
as prolonged peal. The prolonged
rolling OF the thunder and the rise and
fall Of the sound are hard TO account
for
All Of these storm effects are appar-
ent In the device Of Mr.. Skinner but
never yet have human eyes looked
upon such fierce display Of lightning
as he has made possible Of development
through his wlzardlike machine. Be-

public enjoyed the casting Of the lights
upon the falling waters. Colored
glasses were used to create changes in
color, and the effect obtained was such
that big excursions ran 10 the Falls

fountain In Prospect park added 10 the
enjoyment OF the visitors, and It was
generally agreed that there was no dis.

The years that have passed since then
have wrought numerous changes In the

be nicely lighted, and the decorative

forces Of these two power plants will

truthful portrayal Of their progress.

made in America, at a lower price
abroad than they get at home, and
this because the high tariff of the
United States over protects them.
Mr.. McKinley's declination to run
for the Presidency again certainly
makes the race among the leaders

The impression prevails among
the labor leaders, who are already
at work preparing to bring press
ure upon Congress at its coming
session to reenact the Chinese ex-
clusion law, which expires next
May, that the Administration is
secretly, if not openly, against re-
enactment, although they do not
care to talk about it at this stage
of the fight. They hint, however,
that if the Administration opposes
reenactment there will be some
