SCIENCE AND INVENTION

HOW THEY ABE ADVANCING. Not many years ago anything in the form of an invention or labour-saving device was looked upon with suspicion, and if the invention proved to be exceptionally clever the inventor ran a serious risk of losing his liberty, or of being burned at the stake on a, cnarge of ivitcncraft. Nowadays, however, people are more enlightened, and anything that tends to increase the general standard of comfort or lighten man's labour, is hailed with delight, .and tho fortunate inventor. is honoured as a public benefactor. Scores of patented nrticles are at present being sold in tho Dominion, one of tho most important of,which is the "Wizard" Lighting System for country ■homes. This Lighting System has made the old method of houso lighting by means of kerosene lamps or acetylene gas quite obsolete. Tho plant is simple m construction, easy to operate, cheap to run, and is sold at a very low price, complete plants being obtainable from £lo upwards. It cannot get out of order, and will last a life time. Over 2000 homes in New Zealand are being made bright and cheerful by the "Wizard" Light. The taps.in the various rooms are connected with a small reservoir, which stands outside the house, by means of a small brass tube, which carries ■ benzine or petrol from the reservoir to the lamps. At the lamns the benzine is turned into vapour, the vapour mixes with air, and makes a gas which is burned in an inverted gas mantle just the same as coal gas, except that the ''Wizard" Light is softer, •whiter, and cheaper. '] "Wizard" Lamps arc patented in New Zealand and all f" 1 eign countries so they cannot be copied, but, as with ail other successful other lamps aTe heing sold that are something like the "Wizard" in appearance, but are not fitted with the special patented features, which makes the "Wizard" Light such a wonderful success. Government post offices and wireless stations, banks, schools, colleges, churches, halls, stores, and every description of buildings are being fitted with "Wizard" Lighting Systems, and countvy people should make a point of writing to Messrs. Early Bros., 59 Cuba Street, Wellington, for full particulars of the "Wizard" Light before being persuaded to purchase any other form of lighting system—there is no other "Just as good." —(Published by arrangement.)
