SCIENCE 'AND INVENTION HOW THEY AltH ADVANCING. Not many years ago anything in tho form of an invention or labour-saving 'device was looked upon witii suspicion, and 'if the invention proved to be exceptionally eUver the inveutor ran a serious risk of losing his liberty, or : of being burned at the stake on a charge' of witchcraft. Nowadays, luwever, people are more enlightened, and r.nythmg that tends to increase the general'standard of cnmfoj't nr lighten l: ail's labour is hailed with "delight and ihe fortunate inventor is honoured as a public benefactor Sobrf's of patented articles are at present being sold in.tin 'Dominion, one of the most important of which is the "Wizard" Lighting System fur country homes. This Lighting System li?s mado the old method of lipuse lighting by means of kerosene lamps cr acetylene gas quite obsolete. The j-lant is simple in construction, easy to iperate, cheap to run, and is sold at a very low price, complete plants being oblaiuable from ,£l7 upwards. It cannot get out of order, and will last a lifetime. Over 40ftfl homes in New Zealand arc being_ mado bright and cheerful by the "Wizard" Light. The lamps in the various rooms 'are connected with a small reservoir, which stands outside tliCThouse, by means of a small brass tube, which carries lvnziiie or petrol from the reservoir to the lamps. At the lamps the benzine is turned into vapour, tin: vapour mixes witli air, and makes a gas which is burned in an inverted gas mantle, just tho same as coal gas, except that the "Wizard" Light is softer, whiter and cheaper. "Wizard" Lamps are patented in New Zealand and all fopign countries, so they cannot ho copied, .but, as with all other successful) patents, other lamps are being sold that are something liko the "Wizard" in appearance, hut avo not fitted with the special patented features which makes the "Wizird" Light such o wonderful success.
