ILLUMINATING NIAGARA FALLS. GIANT SCINTILLATOR TO BE PLACED BELOW THE HORSESHOE. Lights Will Be So Powerful That When Flashed Into Face of Cataract They ' Will Be Visible in Buffalo and To- ronto. Niagara Falls, N. Y., Aug. 10.-1ajor W. H. Ryan and W. B. Stickuey, illum- inating experts at the General Electric Company, left last night for Lynn, Mass., to perfect arrangements for the installation of the gigantic sciatillator below the Horseshoe Falls for the illumination of the° mewed. Nothing so stupendous, spectacular and al, the same time so majestie in dignity has ever been attempted in the United States, and when the lights are turned on the falls for the first time ou the night of September and, an important era in the system of decorative Ratt- ing will have ben established. The English army and Uncle Sam's warriors have thirty-inth searchlights for use in signalling, and records show that the powiwful rays from theee lights are . visible for a distance of more than 100 miles, There are several of these powerful lights included in tIto scintillator. But besides the thirty -inch projectors are five sixty - inch projectors, the biggest ever manufactured. Turned heavenward., the lights will be plainly visible in Buffalo -mita Toronto, and. when flashed into tho. face of the cataract, the rocke -behind the mighty fall of water will be revealed to the eye. However, the operation of the scintillator will be of a nature to preclude the prevalence of anything boldly spectaeuler or con- e. „epicene. There will be a harmonious elleadending of color, rendering the efful- gence of light luminescent and awful in grandeur. Turned onto the rebellious burst of spray, the liglas will protium an effeet which for splendor promises to defy deseription. More of every imaginable Imo and tint will bo employed to vary and. en - lance the brilliancy. From delicate or - suttee and violet to that shunter colors, there will be no omission. The machines will be brought to Niagara Falls this week on three freight ears, and installation will cont- emner> at mime. The postponement of the display from August 150 to Sep. tender 2nd, was derided upon in order to ant in booming Old Mint°. Week, The: allornination will mod:bete for at least a month, and probably longer.

Montreal, Aug. 18. --It is probable that the Ca nadien steamship companies will lower their steerage rates between Eu- ropean points and Canada before the stunner is over.

This strikes -MY -closely at the Canadian linee. The C. P. R. and Attila lines have ves- sels trading at Antwerp and Havre, re- ep«.tively, and the lowering of rates will regiottsly affeet them.
