The nl^ht Illumination of the mighty torrent at Niagara Falls 1B now assured and the plan for light ing the mist and water Is unquestion ably tho greatest feat ever conceived in electrical illumination. The great falls, bathed in dazzling light surpass in grandeur and spectacular effect anything of Its kind ever seen before. W. D'A. Ryan, Illuminating engi neer, has the work In charge and the falls were Illuminated for the first time the night of August 15th, 1907. The lighting scheme for this enor mous undertaking is on a scale never attempted before and a new Inven tion, the color scintillator is utilized for producing color effects which make the falling water far more beautiful and Impressive by night than by day. A battery of nearly fifty large searchlights.several of them the larg est of their kind and capable of throw ing a beam of white light 125 miles, are located below the falls. A por tion of the projectors are set down near the water's edge, opposite Goat Island, so ns to play a rising illumi nation on both the American and Ca nadian Falls. Another battery ls placed on the high ground on he Canadian side to throw a plunging light on the water and flying mist. The projectors are powerful enough to cover every Inch of tbe torrent with a brilliant white light. All alone the big search lights are an exhibi tion worth traveling far to see, but when used in connection with the new scintillators tho wonderful effect which con bo produced beggars de scription. The color scintillator consists of a net work of steampipes which will be used to augment the cloud effects of the flying mists. In front of the big light projectors are mounted wheels containing large gelatin disks, which are revolved slowly. With thc chang )fRem ippy News r engagements ?

This apparatus was but recently perfected by the engineers of the General Elee rie Company and has never been used before here or abroad, although lt was given a thorough test a few months ago. The color atachments tint the waters carmine, crimson, or ange, yellow, green, blue, violet of the purest shades and the rising clouds of mist blend the colors Into hues and tints of glorious sunset, lt is even possible to produce an arti ficial aurora borealis and the colored beams reaching far Into the sky, will be visible In Toronto and Rochester In such volume as to cause comment.

The apparatus pos sesses the spectacular effect of fire works on a grand scale without the fire hazard and danger. For many years it was planned to illuminate the great falls, but no scheme was deemed practical until the General Electric Company sub Hilted plans to utilize two batteries of searchlights with the new color scintillators.

Mysterious Old Mun is Alive-But Where-May Have Changed Name. Dr. Blggar, of Cleveland, uttered '.he prediction a few days ago that John D. Rockefeller, now 68, and 'actually husky," should "out record da father, now ninety-four." These words of Mr. Rockefeller's loctor finally establish the fact tha,. William A. Rockefeller, father oY the .ichest man In the world, ls alive, rho question arises, where is he? The only definite answer that can ie given to this query is William Rockefeller is in hiding. A thorough search has been made or the older Rockefeller, but with mt success. Every clue has been run down. Hie States of Iowa, Kansas, Wiscon sin and Missouri, to which in turn :be clows pointed as hoing his domi ;lle, have been searched with great :are, but without avail Those entrusted With the task of Anding the father of John D. Rocke 'eller have been secretly aided by tome of the closest friends of the llockefeller family. Mon and women, ioeially prominent in New York, Chi .ago and Cleveland, have exerted ;very Influence to learn the carefully guarded truth, but in vain. Only four persons hold the secret >f old William A. ltO".koVji|er'fl n'ace >f concealment-his children .lohn D, tVilliam, Frank and Mrs. Mary Rudd -and they absolutely refuse to re eal it. There Is reason to believe that nany years ago William A. Rocke eller changed his name, turned his >ack upon his wife and family, and lomewherc In the Middle West estab ished a new home. In this place lt s certain his Identity as the father of lohn D. Rockefeller ls unsuspected. Early In the search Frank Rocfte eller, John D.'s youngest brother, In in interview, stated that his father vas not only alive, but in good health md that his whereabouts were a se .ret and that there were grave rea sons why this secret must not now be 1 i vu 1 ged. and Odf opie of Oe roa can afford to neglect aln or it !

Mrs. Shelton, of Anderson Orr Mill Village, Tired of Living. (Anderson Mall, August 14.) Mrs. Lillian Shelton, of the Orr Mill village, attemped to end her life on Monday night by swallowing an ounce of laudanum. The attempt was unsuccessful, as lt is believed now that she will recover, although, for a time, she was desperately ill. It was about 9 o'clock when Mrs. Shelton took the laudanum and she did not regain consciousness until 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She is reported ns getting along as well as could he expected to-day, and hope is now entertained for her recovery. Mrs. Shelton is about thirty years of age, and she and her husband live with her father In the Orr Mill vil lage. Mr. Shelton was out on Mon day night and did not come home un til about midnight. He noticed that his wife was very sound nsieep, as he supposed, and as she did not awake he touched her and found that she was cold. He at once knew that some thing was the matter and hurried for a doctor. The woman did not awake until 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having been asleep about twenty hours. It ls not known exactly what caused her to attempt to take her life, although lt ls supposed that she was despond ent over some family trouble. Her husband is a painter. Men Past Sixty in Danger. More than half of mankind over sixty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually en largement of prostate glands. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should bo takon at the first sign of danger, as it cor rects Irregularities and has cured many old men of this disoase. Rod ney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., writes: "I suffered with enlarged prostate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two botles of Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years, although I am now 91 years old."

Y aa 1? Wlnston-Salem, August 15.-Im prisoned In a cold storage room, the temperature of which was 36 degrees Fahrenheit, unable to get fresh air, ls the experience of Ed. and Amos Hege, two tinners of this city, were forced to undergo for an hour and three quarters Saturday afternoon.

The fact that those men were so imprisoned was not generally known till late this ternoon. Tho two tinners were employed by P. Y. Blum to do some work on the Inside of the Carolina Cold Storage and Ice Company plant, near the pas senger depot, and were shown Into the building by the manager of the company, F. S. Burney. . When he went out he accidentally closed the door and some one later came along and latched it. In short time the mou discovered their position and be gan with cold chisels to cut through the six Inch door. ~'iey had drilled through It lacking Lat an Inch when some one discovered that they were locked up in the building and let them out. Both were exhausted and Amos Hege fell to the floor. Both had strength enough, however, to go hem", but were not able to work any more tha.' afternoon nor any since. Floth are still suffering.
