Therefore keep in mind when deciding upon the lighting of a room the following points: first, fixtures must follow in line style of architecture and furniture; second, the position of fixtures on walls must carry out the architect's scheme of proportion, line and balance; third, the material used in fixtures brass, gilded wood, glass or wrought iron must contribute to the decorator's scheme of line and colour; fourth, as a contribution to colour scheme the fixtures must be in harmony with the colour of the side walls, so as not to cut them up, and the shade should be a light note of colour, not one of the dark notes when illuminated.
They send me all sorts of trumpery, he said, Orthoptera and Lepidoptera; as if a coleopterist a scarabeeist cared for such things. This business is no boy's play to me. The insect population of the world is not even catalogued yet, and a lifetime given to the scarabees is a small contribution enough to their study.
The street itself is a typical Parisian street of one hundred and forty-five metres. There is room for a baker's, a cafe, a bootmaker's, and a tobacconist who sells very few stamps. The Parisians do not write many letters. They say they have not time. But the tobacconist makes up for the meanness of his contribution to the inland revenue of one department by a generous aid to the other.
In the production of this work the most opposite powers of nature have been laid under contribution. The awful work of the volcano the immense boulders of rock which lie piled up to the clouds in irregular masses have been clothed in a brilliant web of tropical vegetation, purple and green, sunshine and mist. Here nature revels in manifold creation.
The following year, 1795, appeared his most important contribution to aesthetics, in his Aesthetical Letters. In these letters he remarks that beauty is the work of free contemplation, and we enter with it into the world of ideas, but without leaving the world of sense.

The first, Equality before the Law, is claimed emphatically as the contribution of the Puritan. But the vitalizing of these ideals this came from the frontier, as the great contribution of the pioneer. It may seem strange to class the customs of the pioneers among the early laws of Iowa.
It has remained for Canada to evolve a type of armored motor car battery that is said to be the most perfect and effective that has ever been constructed. This ultra-modern battery of forty guns was a part of Canada's contribution to the Empire at war. Fifteen of the guns were made possible by the patriotic generosity of Mr.
"He says she's just a little faint from nervousness. She'll be all ready in about three minutes." This announcement was Mr. Pardon's contribution to the crisis; and he added that the crowd was a lovely crowd, it was a real Boston crowd, it was perfectly good-humoured. "There's a lovely crowd, and a real Boston one too, I guess, in here!" cried Mr. Filer, now banging very hard.
His political intriguers were generally more successful in Prussia than his military heroes in crossing the Rhine or the Elbe, in laying the Hanse Towns under contribution, or in occupying Hanover; or, rather, all these acts of violence and injustice were merely the effects of his ascendency in Prussia.
