A London physician asserts that chill

the use OF the color while on and around

p~erambuiators, the nursery wal papers
and ceiling should be green, blue, yellow,
anything but red or white: that nurses
should wear dresses of slate, gray, blue
or print. White Is hurtful to the retina,
and frets the eyes as well as the nerves.
And now will there be.a crusade against
whiteness? Is thereta white as well as 4

merely asserts; he does not inquire into

Immediately after the war swelled
the worlds total enormously.
During the mex two q~uinquennia,
18S6-90 and 1S91-95, fresh capital is
sues averaged exacly the same
amount. $40, 1o0, 000, 900 for each period.
Then came a mighty advance, which
has increased at a rapidly a~ccelerating
pace during the past Is years. During
1S96-1900 new issues amounted to $15,-
600, 600, 900; during 1901-5 to $20,925,-

Americas Wondrous Growth.
During the later years OF the 10Th
century American capital issues were a
relatively small percentage Of the total.
Thus, in 1894, they amounted t only
SAG per cent in 1896 to 8.98 per cent,
and In 1898 to sos per cent. But since
the opening Of the goth century indus

bounded forward like a giant.
Its proportion in the worlds new is
sues Of capital was in the year 1902 no
less than 1913 per cent. in 1904 25.40
per cent. and in 1906 one-third OF the
whole, namely, 1882 per cent.
In 1906. a. the financial crisis was
approaching. Its share in the worlds
capital issues receded to something
over one-fifth-to be exact, 20.47 per
cent-but In the year after the crisis
its share rose to the almost incredible
level OF 42.45 per cent.
Worlds Total $4,000, 10000.
The total number OF paper securities
In circulation throughout the world is
calculated by the International institute
to have represented at the beginning of
the year 1907 a value OF 500, 000, 000, 900
to $102, 500, 600, 900, which at the begin
ming of 1900 had increased to some
thing between $102, 900, O00, 900 and
