WALL PAPERS AND LIGHT.
How Monty May Ba Wasted by Select
ing the Wrong Colors.
"Talk about banding out tree gas
ranges or routing them out at a nomi
nal rental," said u man in the employ
of a gas company; •’there is auother
Item that encourages gas consumption,
aud that is wall papers.
"if I were running the business I
would band out free wall papers. But
1 would do the choosing. Rich deep
greens and browns—they are the col
ors that bring up your hills and our
profits."
How many people realize that a big
percentage of their gas money may be
sunk into their walls and wasted? It
may be only a matter of color of your
wall paper whether you light one or
three burners.
White walls, of course, absorb the
least light, only 30 per cent, but nearly
everybody wants some color to meet
the eye. A chrome yellow absorbs only
38 per cent. Paper of an orange shade
robs you only of 50 per cent of your
light
It is when yon get into the reds and
greens and browns that the light be
gins to dim. A dark green wall paper,
so restful to the eye, absorbs 82 per
cent of the light And paper of a deep
chocolate leaves only 4 per ceut of the
light rays for use. Its power of ab
sorption Is 90 per cent.—New York Sun.
* NATURE AS A DESIGNER.
If You Nead a Modal of Equilibrium
Study the Kangaroo.
There was a certain college professor
of machine design who was as original
in his views as he was able in his sub
ject. One of his pet theories was the
interrelation between nature and cor
rect design.
"Boys," he would say. “there has
been only one designer who never made
a mistake, und the more we study his
work the better machines we will build.
When you put legs under a machine
think of a horse or a cow. and get them
as far apart as you can. Don’t get too
much overhang at either end.
“And, speaking of a counterbalance,
study the kangaroo. There is no pret
tier example of equilibrium in all po
sitions. The further over he leans the
more his tail comes into action off the
ground. And again, in speaking of
general design, wherever possible, try
to work for elasticity as against rigid
ity. You find very little of the rigid
i in nature, und little trees often sur
vive a gale by bending, where big ones
are blown down."
All of which was undoubtedly very
true, and made more of an impression
on his hearers than some of the more
complicated mathematical demonstra
liens that followed.—John H. Van De
venter in Engineering Magazine.
The Alarm Clock Cure.
A writer iu tile Farm and Fireside
declares that the surest cure for broody
hens is an alarm clock. He says:
"Some years ago 1 was endeaVoring
to break up a sitting lien, but my ef
forts were in vuin. Old Taller con
tlnucd to sit. Finally 1 took a small
alarm clock and set it so it would go
off iu a few minutes. I placed It in
one corner of her nest and watched.
It went off. And so did Old Taller.
She left the nest and stood dazed for
one horrified instant, and then, with one
shrill squawk, slu^ran out of the hen
house and flew over the park fence and
began to hunt for bugs in the grass.
“She not only stopped sitting, but she
stopiied clucking, and in a short time
began to lay. I have since tried this
method on more than 100 broody hens
with complete success.”
He Saw a Great Light.

R. S. Hawker had in his service as

the last of the smugglers. One day he
made to the vicar this notable confes

come to look back and to consider
what lives we used to live—drunk all
night and idle abed all day. cursing,
swearing, fighting, gambling, lying and
always prepared to shoot the gauger—
I do really believe, sir. we surely was
tn sin!"—London Express.
Her Turn Had Come.
After two years he proposed to her.
and she accepted him.
"I’m so happy and glad,’- she sighed.
"Why, dearest?" he asked. “Because
I’m to be your husband?"
“Oh, it isn’t altogether that," she an
swered. “But now I can have the
laugh on all our relatives who have
been saying that you'd never propose.”

Cherry is the wood most used as a
backing for the metal plates from
which illustrations are printed in mag

above all others because it bolds its
