For an illusion of space or depth, scenic wall panel is often u^ed. Papers of architectural subjects can lend a sense of perspeetive fco a large room. As a rule/ Ihese dramatic effects are only sifitable }in idigc rooms since small spaces do not easily accommodate extensive wall "activity." .Certain wall paper sections can be * used to suggest separate activity areas in a room. ? Wallpaper is'often used to help camouflage troublesome structural portions of a room. A small pattern c&n aid in* hiding irregularities and unevenness - in the ceiling. Architectural defects which detract greatly from one end of the room can be blocked out with a false wall of plywood covered _ with an attractive wallpaper.

Jl ' ' _ The history of West Africa has -to do with thai part of Africa tthich is bounded on the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean, >n the north by the Sahara Desert. * ?:??? This region is made up of the following modern states of West \frica: Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory [?oast, Ghana, Dahomey, Nigeria, Sudan, Mali, Volta, Togo, *? Siger and Chad. On the whole. West Africa is a land of level surface. The Cameroon mountains in the extreme south-cast arc the only lighland with a height above 3,000 feet. The other raised lands ust above 2,000 feet are the Bauchi Plateau in Nigeria and the e Futa Jallon Plateau. West Africa's three largest rivers arc the Niger/the Senegal ind the Gambia* All three rivers rise in the Futa Jallon Plateau. rhere are other minor rivers such as the Benuc, wh'ich is a tributary of the Niger, and the Volta in modern Ghana. Aside From the Volta, the other rivers are navigable for long distances, especially during the rainy season. None of the rivers in West Africa is navi&able all Jhrotiuh its Irnoihc nu/ino to thp nrpcpnro ^ ^ o- ? -O "O " "? "'V ^.VJV?.VV if shallows and rapids. The coast receives (he largest amount of rainfall hence the hick forests belts along the coastal belts. Moving northwards, he thick forests gradually thin into grassland. Then appears the lelt open savannah or grassland. Finally/ the grassland gradually thins into desert. The chief characteristic feature of the north of West Africa is he absence of natural barriers. Until the 19th Century, the iahara desert was not a barrier but a route of communication * etween North Africa and Sudan. As a result trade developed icross the desert from early times. With the introduction of the camel about the 4th century t.D., trans-Saharan trade and travel became much easier. This rade became very profitable and attracted the attentions of the nerchants of Europe. The desire to seize the control of this rade from its Arab middlemen was to lead to the discovery of I he coasts of West Africa by the Portuguese in the 15th century. The northern direction of West Africa was, iimil the 19th cntury, the only gateway through which foreign influence penetrated West Africa. The absence of natural barriers iiuthe lorth made possible the penetration of Berber, Arab and Jcwfish mnugrants into West Africa. They settled among the black >eoplc, traded and inter-married. The greatest foreign influence from the northern direction vas Islam and its culture. It is the religion of the savannah of Vest Africa. . Geographical factors played an important role in the rise of he great Sudanese empires and states - Ghana, Mali. Songhai, sornu and thcJ-lausa states. The grassland are West Africa trc rich agricultural regions producing many varieties-of crops md providing enough food for the large populations. This made >ossible the growth of the populous Sudanese cities and empires. Rich pasture for livestock was available. The open grassland that most parts of West Africa had made 'omniunication and trade within the Sudan easy. It also acifttated the military expansion of the empire' and the liovcmcnt of soldiers and horsemen was equally easy. . Bin these advantages which the grassland provided proved a ^anc in the end. The Moroccans took advantage of these acilities, invaded the Sudan in the !6th century and destroyed he civilization of the Songhai empire. What the Nile was to Egypt, the Niger was to the Sudan. It vas the cradle of the great empires of Ghana, Mali and Songhai. its fertile banks provided agricultural wealthMo the people. Its waters provided easy means of transportation and rommunication between cities and helped the military :xpansion of the empires. ^ Today, there is famine in many oarts of West Africa because >f lack of rainfall. In the past, these parts of West Africa where oday there are famine provided food for many parts of the \frican Empires! ..n.Ew )
