" ‘Wall Papers and Light. - ““4The ‘good lighting of 'a room de: pends 1ot only on the disposition of the lghts so as to produce an ade- quate fllumination and on the proper shielding of the lamps so as to avoid .needless glare, but on the nature of thie ‘wall “surface on which the light falls,” said Professor Silvanus Thomp- son of London. *“Eyen when the illu- mination that is received by the walls is ample the room may be badly lit if the walls absorb-too much of that {llumination instead of giving it back by diffuse reflection. Few people 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; brown paper wastes about 85 to 88 per cent; even an ordinary yellow or buff wall paper wastes 50 to 60 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.” = tfice at Bemidii %gtlur under-Act 0 attention paid to anonymous con- qfl’;\:flcml.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many -points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they can- not do—that is, twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bot- tom of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted in its move- ments, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of a man, but the thumbs of the mon- key have no separate flexor or bending muscle. This is why a monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fingers and never bends it round any object that may be grasped. In the gorilla the web between the fingers extends to the second joint, the lngers taper to the tips, and there is a callos- ity on the knuckles on which the ani- mal rests when walking oa all fours. GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES And as yet we are without a sena- torial candidate. The old ground hog did not have much of an opportunity to see his shadow today. That young man who thinks he is poor because he has no bank ac- count, little understands the value of God’s free gift of health and strength, little appreciates the fact that the brighest and best of the country are self-made, and come to the motice of the world from just such beginnings.—Monticello Times. Congressman C. A. Lindbergh will not be a candidate for governor. The Congressman has so announced from Washington, and there are those who believe that the candidacy of H. J. Maxfield hastened the informa- tion. Lindbergh is believed to have designs on thé senatorship, and it is expected he will oppose Senator Clapp in 1916. History In July. In at least four countries perbaps the most important event in their his- torfes was recorded in July—namely, the establishment of their independ- ence. In our own history we have the memorable Fourth of July, while the patriotic efforts of the liberator Simon Bolivar for the independence of Venezuela were consummated on July 5, Colombia ridding herself of the Spanish yoke on July 20. Then there is France. with her July 14, marking the date when the suffering French people stormed the famed and fear- some Bastille. The Spanish forces-at Santiago, Cuba, capitulated-on July 16. The establishing of game refuges throughout the state has made a hit with every good sportsman. The first of these refuges has already been established and includes a whole township in Itasca county. Under the law it wil be an offense to carry a firearm of any description in this township. The state game and fish commission believe that this system will do much to protect the game from-the danger of extinction and will soon have a number of other re- fuges established at various points in the state.
