RESEARCH WORK.

Professor Hiram Bingham, who con-
Quoted the Yale archaeological expe-
dition to make researches into the
period o, the Incas, found DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Peruvian gov
eminent to discourage investigation
by outsiders. This is the spirit that
Italy exhibited when scholars OF other
lands offered to raise money enough
to lay bare the artistic and archaeo-
logical treasures of Herculaneum.
During Lany years the same spirit
has proved bar to research work
by foreigners in Egypt, says the Mil
waukee Wisconsin. In the case OF
Peru and also in the case of Egypt,
there is no vestige of sentiment In
the policy of exclusion. 1t is not as
IL pious descendants should say, You
shall not disturb the graves OF our
ancestors!" The ruling class Of Pc.
ruvians are not descended from the
Aztecs, but from their Spanish con
querors. The rulers Of Egypt are not
descendants of the ancient Egyptians,
but Turks. The Italians, on the other
hand are the direct descendants OF
the ancient Romans; so that their In.
sistence that they and not Germans,
Englishmen or Americans should con.
duct the proposed excavations has
justification in pious sentiment which
can be we'll understood.

above the general building line.
There will be four principal sources
Of light at the exposition In the har-
Dor some 800 yards off the exposition
grounds will be great batteries Of
searchlights mounted upon pontoons;
vast batteries of searchlights will be
located upon the roofs Of exhibit pal
aces; behind the columns of the col
onnades that encircle the courts and In
recesses of towers, domes and minar-
cts, indirect or reflected lighting will
not be seen, but their lights will he
cast upon the statuary. mural decor
ations and facades of the buildings
In the courts and throughout the
grounds will be radiant groups of
statuary.
The lighting of the exposition will
bear a peculiar relation to its color.
The prevailing color tone of the
buildings win not be pure white,
but an oehre. a tawny buff, several
shades removed from white, and at
distance giving the effect of white

In the courts wonderful effects will

No objects have color in themselves,
but the colors are produced by the
kind of light which they reflect Every
object takes the color of the light
which strikes It. and just as the
housewife who purchases silks in a
store knows that it is impossible to
distinguish very pale green from white
in green light, or very pale yellow
from white In a yellow light. SO the

The creation of a substitute for
daylight is but one Of the CONNER
cia goals Of the expert. Great sums
have been expended in research by
electrical firms to obtain for depart
ment stores in America and Europe
artificial lighting effects where colors
can be matched exactly. In the opin-
ion of experts this result has been
obtained.
Both direct Or indirect or reflected
lighting will be employed at the expo
sition. Mr.. Ryan is working to bring
his plans for lighting in accord with
the plans Of Mr.. Jules Guerin, director
of color, and esteemed as America $
foremost decorative artist AT night
upon the exposition grounds there
will be no black shadows. Great mural
paintings upon the walls of the courts
will be Illuminated in part by con-
cealed lights.
The three central courts that will
divide the exposition group from
north to south will be illuminated .by
huge glass fountains of thick white
glass that by day will not suggest that
they are sources of light. but by night
will flood the courts with softly diff
fused light, giving an effect perhaps
best described as brilliant moon-
light. The lighting of the fountains
will be controlled SO that the light
may be turned either up or down
Within each of the two fountains will
be 72 arc lights, a total of 144 arc
lights in the court. At night the
splendors of the colonnades, domes
and towers will be brought out as
clearly and distinctly as if in daylight

Won't Tire Eyes.

The problems of lighting the expo
sition has involved more than ques-
ton Of simply supplying the amount of
light necessary for seeing purposes.
The architect demands that the beau
ties of his colonnades and towers be
brought out under artificial light as
by daylight. The sculptor is not salts
fled with the silhouette at night; his
figures must have perspective; the
artist also would like to see his great
mural paintings appear in their true
colors.
Most expositions appear too bright
and often the sghtseer goes away with
tired eyes. In San Francisco there will
not be too light a color in the ma
terial used. The wall surfaces will be
rough instead of flat and this will
increase the effect of the illumination
at least SO per cent.
In interest and originality the IL
Elimination of the Panama exposition
will, Mr.. Ryan promises, far surpass
any illumination ever undertaken. The

and that light more grateful to the
