Latent Color In Marble,

In a piece of white marble there is.
apparently, no latent color But mar
bic will not remain white. 1t usually
contains trace of iron which oxidiZes
in time, and gives the stone a soft
russo tone. Moreover. the atmosphere
is constantly bringing its accretion of
dust, which is rich in color Pentelic
marble as it stands in the monuments
of Athens is as warm as if tinted with
burnt sienna. In the Elgin room of
the British museum the statues of the
Parthenon are rich and warm and
penetrable as the portraits of Titan.
AS the gray light of the museum falls
on these figures the reveleation of
color in their masses of light and
shade is no small part of the most
magnificent sculptural impression
which is anywhere to be received. The
great statues of Michelangelo and the
Medici sacristy in Florence have the
same quality. No artistic possibility
was foreign to the intelligence of this
universal artist He seems to have
looked far into the future and to have
known what light and time and dust
aud sleepless nature would do with
the great stones which left his hand
white and colorless.-

ARID ACRES RECLAIMED.
Vast Section of Idaho to BE Opened
for Settlement Because of New
Irrigation Canal

Seventy-five thousand acres of arid
land will be reclaimed and opened for
settlement in Idaho as the result of a
deal just made by an irrigation COM
pany. A big canal is to be constructed
from the Snake river, about II miles
above the town of Blackfoot in Bing-
ham county, and it will run southwest
IS miles. 1t terminates just below the
American falls, Blaine county, where it
discharges its surplus water back into
the Snake river.
The country that will be traversed
by the canal is considered one of the
most fertile valleys along the river,
and for years has been an object of
envy to agriculturists. The canal will
be So feet wide a. the top, 60 feet wide
at the bottom, and capable of carrying
six feet of water, river in itself. 1t
will have the capacity of irrigating
$4,000 acres of land.
Ten thousand acres of school land
will be watered under contracts made
by the company with the state of
Idaho.
The Snake river has a watershed of
over 10000 square miles. At the time
when the greatest amount of water is
required for irrigation purposes there
is the greatest amount of water avail
able. When the river is the lowest
there is five times more water availa-
BILE at the point of diversion than can
be carried in the canal The amount
of water appropriated, if placed upon
the land at one time, is sufficient In
quantity to cover the entire tract to O
depth of over six feet
