DR.. II. A. Dittmer at Mancheste
thinks that he now has pretty nea
an ideal lighting plant in his resid

house has for years been lighted by
Sven gas plant, but recently tn
doctor has had the plant enlarged
added to and improved, with tn
result that the light is much bright
er and more uniform. The gas plar
feeds twenty lights, distributed owe
the residence, and it is estimate
that the expense of lighting hous
and supplying gas for cooking pu7
poses will not exceed $40 per yea
If this estimate should hold good
will be the cheapest light and fu'
on the market. The light is said
be more powerful than electricit,
