Washington, d. c., Nov. 26, 1910.
Dear DADA sky without cloud,
air with the still crisp OF fall frosts,
yellow and browns still the dominat-
ing colors OF the woods, the river low
and clear, the odor of wood-smoke
from the chimney OF the occasional
hunters cabin, the distant sound or
woodsman's ak, five miles OF brisk
tramping, a log hut with big open
fire place, boiled potatoes and home

that for a Sundays memory? For
which the good Lord has made us tru-

buildings which heretofore have been
unfinished and unused.
The work that has been done by
Superintendent Elliott Woods and his
assistants has given the United States
the most complete legislative plant in
the world. From the beginning the
capitol, exclusive OF repairs, has cost
Sl5.000.000. The library has cost ST..
100000, and the other building carry
the total cost of the group consider
ably above $30,000000. The plant of
the British parliament cost only half
as much, and those OF the German
Reichstag and the French chamber Of
deputies cost even less than the Brit
ish parliament plant.
But there still remains much to be
done II the plant OF congress is to be
complete. When the new senate and
house wings were built, the archi-
some future date the central east front
should be made to conform with the
lines OF the two wings This would
add UNNECESSARILY to the beauty and
magnificence Of the east front and
would also add to the available space
in the capitol
The chambers OF the two houses
have no direct communication with the
outside air. making the problem of
ventilation a difficult one. Summer
heat is not conducive TO good legisla-
ton. The members are naturally more
concerned about keeping cool than
they are about the boresome work Of
scrutinizing every line OF proposed
legislation. II Is now thought feasible
TO establish an air-cooling plant for
keeping the capitol cool in summer,
just as they have a heating plant for
keeping il warm In winter. Superin-
tendent Woods, who Is a past master
In the art of planning architectural
and engineering conditions. Is already
engaged in planning the details of
| such a system. The same power plant
that furnishes heat In winter would
| furnish the cold air In summer. The
british parliament has installed an
air-cooling plant In the big building
on the Thames. II went a step fur
Their and made II an Arbitration plant,
which, during the days OF heavy Lon
don fog, draws the air through inn
mense layers of absorbent cotton.
II Is also one Of the possibilities OF
! the future that q new subway may be
laid between the two office buildings
the Union Station and the Govern
ment Printing ONCE. This would
cost approximately half a million dol
lars. Just now a problem concerning
the subway automobiles on the sen
ate side OF the capitol is troubling
Superintendent Woods. The automo-
biles are driven by storage batteries,
and often when they are most needed
they go out OF commission. causing de-
lay while other batteries are being
placed in them. At one time the feasi-
bility Of a monorail trolley was dis
cussed, but no steps have been taken
looking to the installation OF such a
system.
The two office buildings are stump
tiously. yet tastefully. furnished. The
restaurant plant in the senate Office
building is particularly elaborate. But

canons used to chant their psalms.

CULTURE or PEARLS.

In Japan. about dozen miles south OF
the famous shrine of Ise, in the sheltered
bay of Ago, long noted for producing the
finest of Oriental pearls, these wonderfus
"soIidifed drops Of dew are being pro-
duced and marketed with the calm ana
businesslike methods that characterize
successful egg farm.
The process of raising culture pearls is
simple, and enormously successful. with
great care rearl oysters are developed until
they are about three years old, when small
pearls or round pieces of nacre, which are
to serve as the nuclei of large pearls, are
introduced into the shells.
The oysters are then put back into the
sea and left undisturbed for at least four
wears at the end OF which time they
are gathered and opened. when 1t is found
that the animal has invested the inserted
nucleus with many layers of nacre, pro
ducing a large and perfect pearl. All that
is required is care and patience, qualities
