in: Important Factor Nowadays In
the Designing of Houses for
the Wealthy.
As people are gradually coming to
ness, the “ventilation engineer" has
taken his place on the staff on which
the architect relies for the carrying out
of his designs in dwelling construction.
Side by side with this improvement- in
the hygienic conditions of the interior
of houses has arisen a new conception
of the aesthetic possibilities of artificial
light, and in the erection of the modern
houses of the wealthy classes the“light
artist” has become a very important
personage. A well—known light de—
signer talks entertainingly on the sub—
ject. lIe compares light with. happi-
ness, which is all a matter of'contrast,
and‘ must- be. treated accordingly. He
tells how Alma Tadema, in London, has
a small door to his atrium, in order that
its size may be the. more felt on enter-
ing; so must the degree of light be
graduated throughout the building.
On entering a. dimly-lit hall from the
dark it appears brilliant; but this,
again, must be. eclipsed by the light of
the reception. rooms. So there should
be, as in a. good photograph, light and
idark portions, and semi-tones, for a.
,room fit equally throughout gives a flat
efiect, and is neither artistic nor rest-
lful. It should not be forgotten that the
pupil of the human eye has consider-
able power of expansion and contrac-
tion, and in the presence of a bright
light an involuntary contraction takes
=‘place. Reading under such conditions
is destructive to the eye. Frost your
.lamp, and though you get actually ten
per cent. less light, you get apparently
more, for it is diffused. Thus the secret
of a restful light is the illumination of
alarge surface with an absence of daz-
zling blotches. In a. room thus lit the
weakest eyes can read in comfort.
ELECTROCUTED BIRDS.
Copper Conductors Make Attractive-
Looking Perches, But Prove
Deadly \‘Vhen Utilized.
If birds only knew better they
wouldn’t do their love-making on elec-
tric transmission wires. The impru-
[deuce of that procedure has been fre-
quently proved, notably last year in the
case. of two owls and the two eagles
{which were cremated on the lines of
‘a. long-distance transmission circuitin
California. It will be remembered that
by a strange element of selectiveness
in the action of the current the owls
lwere unusually favored, being killed
without the slightest disfigurement
and falling to the ground with hardly
a feather rufi‘led, while the greater part
'0f the two eagles went. up in blue
"smoke, says the St. Louis Globe~Demo
crat.

supplies the city of Three Rivers generi
ates its current 16 miles away and
transmits it to the city at a pressure.- of
,12,CI00 volts. A few evenings ago the
city lights suddenly went out. The
lights soon started up again, and there
was no further trouble. The following
day the electrician went on a. tour of
-inspection. Entering the Substation at
Three Rivers, ,he noticed in a. pro—
:nounced‘ i‘orm the smell of a badly con-
ducted restaurant. Looking around,» he
found the cause of the previous night’s
interruption. A window had- been
broken in the station, and through this
two chickens had slipped inside and
roosted on the bare copper conductors.
As Chanticleer kissed Birdie “good
'night” he completed the circuit, the
lovers were electrocuted, and the-lights
were put out. -
TORT QISES BURN ED ALIVE.
The Reptiles Are Cruelly Tortured
in the Process of Shelling
Them.
London humanitarians have received
another shock, and as a. result, several
humane societies of England have
raised their voices in a protest against
the manufacture and: use of comb-s,
hairpins, cigar and cigarette cases. and
other dainty articles made from tor-
toise Shell. They have discovered that
the procuring of the. mottled shell is
attended with considerable. pain to the
originzil posse-ssors of the precious ma-
terial. .
The societies are making an. efiort to
diseountenance the use of' all articles
made from the. shell until more mercio
ful measures for its production pre-
vail. ’
The largest part of the shells which
come to our markets are procured) in
several groups of islands near Ceylon.
The animals are caught by the natives
and their shells taken from them.
The shelling of tortoise is not as
simple as the shelling of green pe-ase,
and for severity it sounds much harsh«
er than: the plucking of feathers from
live‘birds for the adornment of femi-
nine vanity.
After being caught, they are induced
by rather warm persuasive measure to
come out of their covering. They are
first semi-boiled over a red ember fire
until the flesh that secures the shell to
the body is softened. The animal is
then shelled clean, and though the suf-
ferin g must be intense, one rarely dies,
but in a few months grows another
shell, of whiehit is deprived in the. same
manner.

Vinol Should Be Taken In Order to Make
New, Rich Red Healthy Blood.
If you are pale, you may make up your
mind there is something seriousthe matter-
lu such cases yinol should be taken. It
gives tone, health and strength to every organ
of the. body. By‘enabling all of the organs
to act as they should, and at the same time
facilitating the discharge of poisonous secre- .
tions from the system, the blood is- naturally
purified, becomes rich and healthy, and an
obvious improvement is plainly discerned in
the face of the patient.
We guarantee that Vinol will cause- red
cheeks to displace a. pallid countenance. If
you do not find-this is so, we will refund you
your money in every instance. The taste ofl
Vinol is most delicious. '
