Fiah'a Change of Color'
As a quick-change artist the parrot
flsh has few equals. Swimming about
in the tropical waters, the parrot fish
Is a clear turquoise green during the
daytime. Finding a quiet nook
among the stones and weeds, its color
fades to a dull olive. Further changes
go on whilst It sleeps. Numerous red
dish brown spots appear on Its body.
Placed In an nquarlum having a
plain green bottom, the parrot flsh re
tains Its coat of green and does not
put on night clothes. But if a few
large stones are dropped into the
aquarium, corresponding blotches ap
pear on the sleeping fish.
The Glove in History
The use of gloves dates back to re
mote times. Xenophon sneered at the
Persians for wearing gloves to keep
their hands warm. The Greeks and
ltomans also scorned the use of gloves.
The glove appears to have become a
well-known article of dress in Eng
land about the Fourteenth century.
The materials used for making leather
gloves are principally the skin of deer,
sheep and lambs, goats and kids, the
latter being the most important,
though far more kid gloves are made
of sheep than of kid leather.
Planes Spread Terror
The terrifying effect of airplanes
upon wild fowl is so great that If any
general use should be made of them
in hunting, the result would be ex
ceedingly disastrous, according to a
bulletin of the biological survey of the
Department of Agricnlture. Probably
no other single method of pursuit of
wild ducks and other game birds
could parallel their deadly effect in
reducing the number of wild fowl.
It is for this reason that the biolog
ical survey has called upon all sports
men and conservationists Interested
in the maintenance of this country's
supply of wild fowl to gather and for
ward to it In Washington accurate
1 Information concerning such viola
tions of law.
Weights and Figuret
The grain is the one unit which is
the same in troy and avoirdupois
weight. An avoirdupois pound is
7.000 grains, a troy pound 5,760. The
avoirdupois ounce is 437.5 grains, and
the troy 480 grains. A hundred avoir
dupois pounds of gold would be
worth $119.1(50.67.
The American billion Is expressed
by ai unit and nine ciphers?1,000.000,
000. In Germany. France and else
where in Europe the same figure is
called a milliard. The British billion
and the German, too, is expressed by
a unit and 12 ciphers?1,000,000,
000.000.
Weather and Health
Different kinds of weather affect
different people In different ways, but
as a rule we feel better when the sun
is shining. Damp Is an enemy of
health; a cool, bracing day a friend.
Doctors frequently order their pa
tients a "change of scene," and they
are now learning that the benefits of
such a change are greater even than
they had thought, because a change
of scene usually means a change of
climate as well. Temperature, the
?mount of moisture In the air, the
height above sea-level ? ell these
things can nffect our health.
Mind Had Slumbered
A curious case on record Is that of
n blacksmith, Paul Stengel, who was
kicked in the head by a horse while
In the middle of a sentence addressed
to his assistant, and rendered uncon
scious for several days. On recover
ing, ills mind was an absolute blank,
until one day he fell down a flight of
steps, pitching on his head.
He was picked up in a dazed condi
tlon; and on recovering his senses the
first words he uttered were the com
pletion of the sentence that had been
Interrupted by the horse's kick some
months earlier.
Took a "Day Off"
The longest night In history. Sep
tember 2, 1752, was when the Ore
gorlan calendar was adopted In Eng
land, through the Influence of Lord
Chesterfield. The calendar arranged
by Julius Caesar, by not making suf
ficient allowance for leap year, had
caused the English date to become 11
days behind the right time. These
4ays were omitted after September Z.
so that the next daj was reckoned as

"AT YOUR SERVICE"
Dining Room Decoration
HE use of ^all board, until re
i cent years, was more or less
limited. Today, however, prac
tically all its disadvantages have been
overcome and there are on the mark
et several types of wall board, the
use of which makes it possible to
acquire, with ease and economy,
many a new room for an old. After
the wall board has been properly ap
plied and sized, its surface is readily
adaptable to any one of the new
decorative cffccts obtainable with flat
wall paints.
The use of wall board as a finish,
in many instances, includes the ap
plication of wood moldings over the
seams. Jn the dining room illus
trated above, this molding was turned
to good advantage in giving the room
a paneled effect. If this molding is
enameled to match the wood trim, de
lightful variations in color tone and
texture may be produced on the pan
els or stiles by the use of glazing,
mottling, blending or two-toning.
Smooth surfaced walls finished with
mottled or blended effects are, as a
rule, coated with transparent starch
size. This protects them and in
sures cleanliness, since it may be
washed off at intervals and renewed.
Stimulating colors may be used in
the diniug room to better advantage
than in any other room in the home.
The general atmosphere of this room
should be bright, cheerful and in
vigorating.
The furniture (or such a room may
be purchased unfinished and painted
to match the built-ins, or may be
purchased in any one of the many
good woods in use today. In the
purchase of the latter, one should
learn to recognize well finished pieces
and acccpt only those having the best
finish, otherwise the furniture will
soon show signs of wear a?"t tear,
looking old whfle still comparatively
