Wall Papsra and Light.
"The good lighting of a room de
pends not only on the disposition of
the light» so ns to produce an ade
quate illumination and on the proper
shielding of the lamps so as to avoid
needless glare, but on the nature of
the wnll surface on which the light
fulls,” said Professor Sllvanus Thomp
son of Londou. “Even when the Illu
mina tlpn that is received by the walls
is ample the room may be badly lit If
the walls absorb too much of that
illumlnntlon Instead of giving It back
by diffuse reflection. Few |ieople are
aware how much light is thus wasted
and thrown away.
“The deep scarlet and crimson wall
papers now fashionable for dining
rooms waste from 70 to 75 per cent;
browp paper wastes about 85 to 88
per ceut: even an ordinary yellow or
buff wnll paper wastes 50 to GO per
cent. On the other hand, white car
tridge paper absorbs and wastes only
about 20 per cent of the light, while a
whitewashed wall absorbs from 30 to
40 per cent.

Trees and Fools,

Any fool can destroy trees,

they would still be destroyed—chased
and hunted down as long as fun or a
dollar could be got out of their bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bole backbones. Few that fell trees
plant them. Nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forests. Dur
ing a man's life only saplings can be
grown in the place of the old trees,
tens of centuries old. that have been
destroyed,
it took more than ».(MX)
years to make some of the trees in
these western woods—trees that are
still standing in perfect strength and
beauty, waving and singing In the
mighty forests of the Sierras. God has
cared for these trees, saved them from
drought, disease, avalanches and u
thousand training, leveling tempests
and Hoods, but lie cannot save them
from fools. Only Uncle Sum can do
that—John Muir.
Saw the Practical Side.
Ideas of advancement in South Amer

States they run along practical lines.
As an Indication of the uses to which
capital Ims been applied In South Amer
ica and the difference in temperament
of the people of that part of the west
ern world ns compared with the in
habitants of the United States a story
Is told of a meeting between a Bra
zilian promoter and an American pros
pector nt one of the new cities which
have recently sprung up on the banks
of the Amazon. The native pointed
with pride to a pretentious opera house
overlooking the mighty river and asked
tile stranger If the site was not superb.
‘Well," said the man from one of our
western states. I think it would be h
mighty tine place for n sawmill.”
