iFRoM OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDENT)
Monday, July 81, 1902.
An inspection of the executive de-
partments in Washington, and partlou-
larly of those bureaus devoted to the
collaboration and classification OF SCI
entifc data, occasionally leads the less
thoughtful observer to remark "cul
bono? What is to be gained by it?' No
better instance of the value OF such
work has been afforded than in the case
of the Irrigation law recently enacted
which has taxed TO its utmost resources
the mass of photographic information
which, for the past fourteen years, the
Geological Survey has been industri-
ously collecting. With the passage OF
the Hansbrough- Newlands Irrigation
law, the Secretary of the Interior was
confronted with the necessity Of dis
bursting fund which now aggregates
upwards of $6,000,000 and which, for
some time, will steadily increase, and of
establishing Herewith federal system
Of irrigation in regions whose combined
areas aggregate 6O0000,0OO acres. Fur
thermore. under the provisions of the
law, annual reports must be made to
Congress showing the progress made.
Referring to the herculean proportions
of the task imposed on him, Secretary
Hitchcock recently remarked that, were
it not for the vast amount of hydro
graphic data which he knew to be in
the possession of the Geological Survey
he would resign from the Cabinet rather
than undertake to direct project of
such vast extent.

Immediately the law was signed by
the President, who takes the liveliest
intere st in the execution of its provis-
ions, Mr.. Hitchcock sent for Mr.. f. N.
Newell, chief of the photographic Dr.
vision, and acting on his ADVICE, issued
an order withdrawing from settlement
nine tracts of land which, for convent
ence, are known as "projects.' These
projects are located in the vicinity of
the st. Mary's river in Montana, the
Gunnison IN Colorado, the Salt and San
Carlos in Arizona, the Truckee and
Carson rivers in Nevada, the Colorado
river in California, the South Plat in
Colorado, the Grand in Utah and the
Big Horn ia Wyoming. Referring to
the extent of the land withdrawn from
settlement, Secretary Hitchcock says:
"Selections have been made in advance
in o somewhat liberal manner in order
to allow the consideration of alternative
projects or provide for unforeseen con-
tingences. Neither the Secretary nor
Mr.. Newell believes that it will be pos.
sible to complete the irrigation of any
tract in less than three years, but after
that time results will be attained rap
idly and it is estimated that during the
next half century, what is now arid
land will be reclaimed at an average
rate Of 100000 acres per year, which
rate, however, will not keep pace with
the estimated increase in the popula-
ton of the country.

galleries The hall will be lighted at night
by 800 incandescent electric lamps, placed
above the white cornices, augmented by an
enormous chandelier hung from the lantern
at the center of the ceiling and by lesser
chandeliers hung from brackets projecting
from the corner piers.
The New characterization.
The prevailing color tone of the ceiling is
mauve That of the corridors leading from
the hall to the present House of Represen-
tatives is buff. with various delicate
mauves, manilas, old colds and kindred
pea greens as contrasting tints. The panel
ings are colored mostly in olive and ma
room, richly loaded with gold in line accent,
fretwork and filagree embroidery, while the
mural borders are generally Of Pompenan
red, and the panel borders, of classical de.
signs in laurel and ivy leaves, are chiefly OF
olive green. Gold without stint is the I'M
failing final touch on ceilings, cornlces,
groined arches and panels
At frequent intervals along the main COR
ridors the artists have painted admirable
little color sketches, portraits and sym
bolical designs in medallions and vlgncttes
suggestive of patriotic memories and inter-
esting events of American history. Among
these are sketches of Mount Vernon Wash
ington's tomb. Arlington House and the
Washington Monument: portraits of Column
bus and Vespucci and Indian heads, weap-
ons and armorial bearings. All the decora-
lions are OF permanent CHdTdCtSip NAi-
culated to last for the next fifty years at
least. They all harmonic with the distinc-
tive style of the building, which belongs to
the period represented by the beginning OF
the last century and the decorative schema
follows faithfully the ideas that dwelt In
the minds of the original architects. In
authorizing the work Congress assumed
that the country takes pride In the ma
tional Capitol and does not begrudgs the
expense necessary to its proper adornment.
Our Pantheon.
Of late years statuary hall mas been re-
garded in the light of a national Pantheon,
where the people have placed on view
sculptured effigies of admired heroes, pio-
neers, warriors, statesmen, Inventors and
public benefactors. From the year 1907,
when 1t was first finished, until 1914, when
it was burned and defaced by the British
in an attempt to destroy it, 1t was occupied
as the Hall of Representatives, and again
from 1919, when it was restored, until 1857.
On September IS of that year the lower
branch of Congress took possession of the
present Hall of Representatives in the new
south marble wing of the Capitol, and since
that date the old hall has served principal
ly as one of the show places of the Vener-
able edifice.
By the terms of an act of Congress, APP
proved by President Lincoln on July 2,
1864. the chamber was officially designated

ty years ago assisted the famous Italian
painter. Constantine Brumidi, in the decora-
ton Of the rotunda and the Senate corri-
doris and committee rooms. Following SINH
lar work done last year in the Supreme
Court chamber, an entire new fireproof
steel ceiling was constructed, the contour
Of the old ornamental plaster ceiling being
exactly duplicated. except that real ribs In
relief and indented panels were substituted
Tor painted ribs and panels on smooth sur
face. In addition the plaster relief work.
set against a mauve ground, has been

lines Of the massiye.rfbs, panels and roset-
ted Golfers. The interior walls also are re-
newed In soft tones Of Sienna marble, a
handsome new skyiight takes the place Of
the old at the apex Of the concave ceiling,
and the apparent size OF the chamber Is
materially Increased by the removal Of
vast Accommodations Of old books from the
