THE WIZARD LIGHTING SYSTEM.

There have been many systems of lighting since the world began, from the rushlight of ancient days, through the'ages of candles and oil lamps, up to coal gas aod electricity, but until the advent of the above system •brilliant and economical lighting of country houses was unknown. This splendid system has now been in voguo for close on two years in New Zealand, during which time well 'over a thousand, plants have been installed in country homes, eta, and, judging from testimonials received from wellknown residents and societies, have never failed to give every satisfaction. This hollow wire system is far ahead of any of its kind. In a few words its advantages may be summed up. as _ follow: Safety, brilliancy, economy, simplicity, cleanliness, and reliability. It has been passed by the New Zealand Board of Underwriters; therefore no extra insurance premiums are demanded from imureea Each lamp gives a light equivalent to 106 c.p. English rating, or 500 c.p. American rating. With petrol at the present price—viz., 20s per case, —each light costs only the halfpenny per hour, and is therefore considerably cheaper than coal gas or kerosene. In fact, a better light for less money and less trouble than any other system is guaranteed. The plant is simplicity itself, and its, reliability is vouched for by the fact that all plants are guaranteed for a period of fivo yeaifs. The fact that the Government has .thoroughly tested the plant and found it so satisfactory that it has installed plants in the two wireless stations at Awarua and Awanui, and also in several post offices, speaks for itself, as does also the statement that several towns in New Zealand are adopting this' system for street lighting. Evidence as to the general efficiency of this splendid system will d© found in the following testimonials from well-known town and country residents, the originals of which can always bo seen on application:— R.
