C0lored Lights Used
 To Illuminate Church

London, Aug. 10 R1A new sys. tenn of electric lighting has been installed at St. Michael and All Angels Stonebridge. and the sys- tenn shows what church lighting is likely to be in the future.
 Stained glass windows were in- tended to give a beautiful illumina- tion in a church." said the vicar of St. Michael's, but at night, and during dull weather, We are depriv- ed of this.
 Tt has therefore been decided to install a system of artificial light ing which will give all the rich col bring of light falling through stain- ed glass windows"
 By an extremely intricate system of switches the illumination of the whole church can be controlled from various points and in the vicar's stall the touch of a button will instantly flood the whole church with amber or rose light.
 Different lighting effects will be used during the various stages of the service.

 Most of the engines at last years aeronautical exhibition in France were 400 and -horsepow- CT and up. This year the majority develop less than 800 horsepower. There are several engines in light planes that develop no more than many automobile motors.
 The baby engine of the show comes from Germany and develops only 20 horsepower. The plane has room for two passengers and flies o5 miles on a gallon of gasoline
