ELABORATE SCHEME
The Effects of Decorative Art in In
augural Ball Room.
ARRAY OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS
Arrangements for Reception Of the
Presidential Party.
7 II E OF II E r d E Il IL S

Preparations for the great social feature
of the inauguration period. the inaugural
| bail. which will be held Monday night IN
the magnificent court of the pension build
| ing. are going forward this afternoon with
a swirling activity that presages a complete
readiness when the doors are thrown open
at o'clock the evening of the inauguration
day for the reception of the throngs of
guests.
The small army of workers employed by
the contractors for the decorations are put
ting the finishing touches on the elaborate
scheme of decorative effort. The court OF
the building has been transformed into
scene of golden glory. 1t bears little re-
sembance to its normal condition, COM
plete has been the construction of the
ing May walls and ceilings of bunting. The
artistic advice of men gifted by nature, the
skilled abilities of artisans carefully edu-
Gated in their particular line of work. and
the genius of the American inventive brain
have all been called upon to contribute 10
the formation of a decorative plan which
Will be fairly startling in its grandeur.
With each recurring inaugural ton the IL
Zens of the District of Columbia, through
their representative. the inaugural commit
tee endeaVOr to eclipse the efforts that
have gone before to make the inaugural
ball function of splendor more grand. The
ball represents the climax of the celebration
OF the day which Is as significant TO the
people of this republic as is the coronation
of a ruler in the imperial countries. The day
marks the taking of the highest office IN
the land by the man who has been selected
for the honor by the people themselves.
Hence the celebration is one in which the
people have the greatest share and in which
they are most Immediately concerned.
So the combined efforts of the committee
are thrown into the preparations for the
ball, and il represents the highest attain !
ments of its promoting forces. The naug-
ural ball is unquestiOnably the greatest
function of a purely social character the
American nation knows. 1t is quadren-
nialIy participated in by between 1UoOp and
II, 0OOO people. and the opening march is |
led by the President himself. 1t is purely
national affair, a mixture of patriotism,
politics and society. 1t represents a COM |
mon plane on which the people in the va |
rious walks of American life meet and |
mingle in 4 celebration that concerns them |
all alike.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD, N. j., March 1, 1901
Washington's birthday festivities in the
famous Jersey resort always draw large
crowds of pleasure seekers as holiday
guests, and the number this season in all
the hotels and cottages has been larger
than is shown by any previous record
Social and sporting activities have filled the
past week, and the increased quiet ac-
quired from the Lenten period has been
only an added charm In their enjoyment
Informal dancing only was announced by
the two large hotels, the Laurel House and
the Pines. for Thursday. Fri
day and Saturday evenings, and the large
number of young people among the holi-
day resorters crowded the ball rooms each
evening. The Sunday evening concerts,
which are always a feature Of that day In
these hotels, were especially well rendered
by the large orchestras.
Mrs. Walter Heiston of Washington Is on
a short visit to Lakewood, visiting friends
at the Observation-Disclosures.

The supper arrangements at the ball this
year will be unquestionably the best that
have yet marked such an occasion. A tenn

south entrance. The entrances to the room

Refining Petroleum,

The refining Of petroleum Is an in
teresting process. The petroleum Is
put into tank. under which is a slow
fire, burning the gas from the oil itself
AS the latter warns up. the vapors
pass through long pipe, and are
cooled in the process, condensing it
into liquid again. The first thing that
comes over" is a gas which is used
az fuel in the works. Next, the vary.
ing grades of naphtha; next (the prod.
uct becoming heavier and heavier all
the time). the gasoline grades, then
the LOWEST kerosenes, then the high.
grade kerosenes. Then comes long
list of heavier oils, ending with the
heaviest and thickest Of lubricants.
There is left in the tank paraf1ine and
black. dense, sticky substance which
is little more than asphalt. From these
bi-products, after the refining OF oil,
are made more than $50 substances Of
value, including such familiar things
as dyes. soap. vaseline, ointment, and
chewing gum.

Proposed Highway for Bicycles.

A perfect highway from New York
to San Francisco, in as near straight
line as it is possible to make it, with a
width of 120 feet, for the use Of auto
mobiles and bicycles, as we'll as for the
use of the farmer, is thing that the
Automobile club Of America will try
to bring about. The subject was seri-
ously discussed at a banquet, in honor
of members OF the National Highway
Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria,
in"New York, when plans were made
and the route announced. Besides a
direct path from New York to San
Francisco, passing through Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and
Ogden, the club wants highway
along each coast. Congress will be
asked to appropriate one-third Of the
expense, and the states, counties,
townships and cities en- route will be
asked to pay the rest; the owners OF
property benefited to donate the right
of-way. The club and highway com.
mission have on their list of mem.
bsrship the names of some Of tho
foremost men Of America.

parallel to the Red sea and a few

rather south of Eofu. on the Nile. says
the Geographical Journal. This, like
some other parts OF the region--such

twenty centuries ago, and only during

have isolated explorers at long inter-
walls found their way into the treasure
house Of ancient Egypt. When its rul-
ers first used the emerald for personal
adornment is uncertain. Whether the
large, clear stones which, according to
ancient authorities, ornamented the
Egyptian temples were really emeralds
Is a matter Of dispute, but as this gem
owing to its regular shape, which IS
commonly six-sided prism-and rs

ing cyse and sometimes extending for
a long distance. Many scattered ruins
may also be seen-dwellinge watch
towers and tombs, besides those of fen
settlements. In these, no doubt, the
mining population used to live, and
the difference in style suggest they
were occupied for long time. Some
are mere novels, very roughly built;
others show more careful construc-
ton, while third group are we'll fin
ished. Mr.. MacAllister also found three
rock-cut temples. for the soft stone
lends itself to that kind of architecture.
He thinks that their pillars, though
very primitive in style, indicate Egyp-
tian designs, with traces Of Greek in
fuence. One, indeed. contains crum-
bling inscription in that language.
Broken pottery. sometimes ornament
ed, is abundant. but there is no evil
dence that the neighborhood attracted
visitors for any but business purposes.
this, there was in
those times settled instead Of

must have been rather frequent, for in
one place many drawings OF persons,
animals and tribal marks are scratched
upon the rocks. Some of the figures
evidently are much older than others,
but as whole they recall to memory
the Sinaitic inscriptions which some
forty years ago were believed to be
of the wanderings OF the
Esraelites.
