400 square miles in his county. But
IL per cent o. arabic land was then
in cultivation. Allow 10 per cent for

plow, and the fair, when it showed
the possibilities OF the soil, would
have tendency to opening up the
idle and available farming lands
Mr.. Urquhart, a Santa Rosa farm
er who has a record of having pro-
duced an 1S-pOund head OF cabbage
in ninety days, spoke enthusiastically,
expressing the hope that the project

ROBERT ADAM.
He Created a New Era In English
Architecture.


Robert Adam 072S-92) was to Eng
lish architecture what Benvenuto Gel
lini was to that Of Italy. He was ar
chitect to the king, beloved at court,
a member Of parliament, and it was
said Of him that he could not help
adjoining all that he touched" Those
Of the English people who dwell in
Adam houses prize them as rare jew
els.
Adam introduced into English ar
chitecture a lightness, delicacy Of
touch and charm Of proportion which
it had never before possessed and
which gave his name to that splendid
period Of architecture the style OF
which lasted over q century. Every
thing in a house, from the panel ia
ceiling to the vases and gilt wood tri-
pods and branches for lights, from
hangings at the windows to a wom-
ans hairpin holder. Adam designed
himself.
Adam got his rich, beautiful and
distinctive style from the ruins OF the
Emperor Diocletian, at Spalato AS a
finish to interiors he conceived the
idea Of using figures In relief upon
walls. colOred and adorned according
to Raphael's Stance painted fat upon
the walls Of the Vatican. His idea
was as bold as its result was beauti-
full. lie also adopted POmpeiian styles
Of decoration.
adam was artist as well as archi-
tect; and his walls, ceilings and int
rior adornments are marvels Of har-
mOniOus cOlors," says an architect.
HE employed no less personages than
Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi TO paint
many Of the panels and medalliOns lei
into his ceilings, and II was his habit
to have carpets woven TO match the
pattern overhead and harmonic with
the color there employed. The key
note Of Adams style is movement
combined with perfect artistic fitness
and II is peculiar for its grace and
-tateliness. New York Tribune.
