Causes of Poor Liqht.

The study of illumination has not only become an exact science in these days of perfection in artificial lighting. but every householder is eagerly read ing anything that will give him a greater insight into this nest difficult study.
 Many a poorly lighted room can be easily remedied by changing the light fixtures or repapering. It was former ly the custom to blame oil, or the gas, or the electricity if there were dark shadows in the room or if the light failed to dispel the evening dark ness. Now it has been proven that these same rooms, be it at home or the office or the store can be made al most as light as day~With even less candle power than before, all with a little study and planning.
 A wallpaper which will absorb" light is the greatest enemy to artificial light in the home. An illuminant is power less to light a room if the color of the walls absorb most of the rays. The Illuminating engineers of the General Electric Company claim that a white wall will reflect 50 per cent of light, whereas a red wallpaper will reflect only 15 per cent. A light buff or vel low will reflect 45 per cent: a dark brown about 1215 per cent. A light apple green wallpaper will reflect 40 per cent: a dark green will give us 15 per cent. Dark wood trimmings ab- sOrb light; white wood reflects it. Velvets, chintZes, burlaps, will also ab- sOrb light; so will wallpaper, whatever its color, but a tinted-surface wall re- fleets the light. Wallpaper in patterns is not only one of the greatest of all known absorbers of light, but 1t also has a bad effect on nerves and eyes.
 The plainer the wallpaper the better for nerves and body. and the smoother the surface the more light it will re- fleet In selecting wallpaper the way the room faces must also be taken into consideration. Those rooms facing north and east require lighter colored papers than do rooms facing south and west.
 Care in the selection of tints and wallpaper will not only lead to a bet ter and a cheaper artificial light but will protect the eyesight, save the nerves and tempers. It will enable all to realize to the greatest degree the

The Lords Prayer on a Pin.

Probably we have all heard of one- dollar gold pieces with the Lords Pray CT engraved on one side. Several years ago these were worn by many as watch charms. Occasionally even now one may be seen thus worn. Such minute engraving may we'll be considered skill full work
 But recently this has been made to seem, at least by comparison, quite a simple matter, because MT William L. Stuart, a young man engaged in busi- ness in New York City. has performed the seemingly impossible feat of en- graving the entire Lords Prayer on the head of an ordinary pin, to which he has added his name and the year. making altogether two hundred and seventy-siX letters and figures
 MT Stuart did the work at odd times during his regular employment and with very ordinary tools. which seem ingly are not adapted to such fine en- graving. The pin was set in a block of wood. and common engraveT's tool was used.

spy out the land, master the secret of naval supremacy. bring it back to Japan. create a fleet and then let boastful western nations look to themselves. In 1858, when this pro ject was submitted, it seemed childish in its audacity As we know, it has been literally realized. Under great difficulties, suffering much privation, the two young men made their way to London. They had not been there more than three months when they were convinced of the helplessness of the attitude their prince had assum- ed toward the mighty western island CTS. Returning home-for lack of money working their way before the mast-they counseled the prince to make terms with the British. But they were more truly representative of Japanese opinion when, eight months earlier, they secretly left their country in search of methods that would enable them to trample on the foreigner. Their old friends regarded them as traitors and sought to take their lives. Ito went into hiding

His name lives in history, inasmuch as in de- fiance of the tycoon, who was daily ing with the foreigners. he closed the straits of Shimonoseki against British ships. threatening to fire on any that came within range of his guns.

Then we shall be able to keep our coasts inviolate."

The South Side Landowners
 Before The Board FOR CENTER STREET SITE
A Proffered Bonus of Nearly $3O,000 and Plans and Figures Showing That the Structure Will Cost Less Than $53, ,0OO.

The greater part of yesterdays ses- sion of the board of supervisors was taken up with the consideration of the matter of a bridge across Salt River. There are two prospective sites for such a bridge. One is at Tempe and the other at the foot of Center street.
 This subject began to be agitated last spring by Dwight B Heard and other land owners south of the city. About nine months ago an association of the land owners was formed for the purpose of raising a bonus to assist the county in the construction of the bridge. The work of the association was practically completely last Thurs day and the result was laid before the board. MT Heard and Vernon L. Clark Were the spokesman for the asso- citation. MT. Heard showed that the as sociatiOn had raised within itself the sum Of SIS,00O toward the bonus. that it had had the cooperation of the In dian service and that an arrangement had been made with the Indians on the south side of the river by which about S7.O0O would be added to the above mentioned sum. It was intended also to solicit subscriptions from merchants and others interested, so that the full bonus would be in the neighborhoOd of S300O0
 MT. Heard also submitted plans of the bridge drawn by Engineer MClure

who had charge of the construction of the M. & P. bridge across the Gila .The plans had also been approved by Engineer Roberts who directed the bridge across the Colorado at Parker Mir. Heard had also secured figures for the construction of the bridge one company had offered to build it for less than S53.000 so that the bonus would amount to more than half the cost of construction.
 Messrs. Heard and Clark asked the board to designate in what shape it would like to have the bonus put in order that work might be begun at as early a date as possible.
 The balance of the cost of construc- ton would have to be met by a special tax levy of fifteen cents on each $10O of valuation question arose as to whether the present board could guar antee the making of such a levy next year. That subject was referred to District Attorney Bullard, who will render the board an opinion at an early date.
 On behalf of the Tempe site, Grant Jones and J. w. Woolf were before the board and said that they desired to be given a chance at raising a bonus and they said that they thought they could raise one larger than that proposed by the landowners association. Some of the farmers in the Tempe neighborhood however are members of that associa- tion

A Little Fish's Trick

All the little sea-foIk have their own clever way, of protecting themselves from their enemies, but the spiny box fish has about the cleverest way of all.
 He belongs to the great family called buffer. and you will see in a moment how well the name fits him.
 Just imagine the little buffer swim ming around in the water. looking like a small round box with head Oh. A big fish comes along. sees the little puff fer and thinks. There's just a good mouthful for mel" But just as he darts toward him the little buffer blows himself up like a ball, turns over on his back and floats around with all his sharp prickers sticking out toward his enemy
 The big fish is dazed. he stares at the buffer and thinks, Can that great prickly thing be the same little fish I tried to swallow" He can't under stand it. but he sees there is no use trying so he goes sadly on his way when the little buffer is sure he is gone skin and goes back to his usual size.
 Now isn't that a pretty clever trick for little fish to play? But you see Mother Nature gave the little buffer just that kind of a body that he might escape from his enernies.-FrOm ''Na- ture and Science" in January St Nicholas.

 The thing, however. which has given the incorporation movement it's great est impetus is the desire of the citi- zens to avail themselves. of the power and light plant of the Octave people. The power company found that it could not do business with an unor- ganized community powerless to grant it franchise or enter into any con tract with it which would be binding upon a subsequent corporation.
 That matter was determined early last fall, and then the incorporation movement, which had previously been talked about, began to take form.
