Washington, D. C., May 16.—Re
clamation projects axe under way for
making the famous Roman Campagna
what it was before the fall of the
Roman Empire, thus restoring
Italy a region which once was dotted
with busy villages anti luxuriant fruit
trees, newspaper dispatches stato.
•‘This now dreary plain, of which
only one-tenth bas for hundreds of
generations been turned by the plow
share, Is the burial place of scores of
, Etruscan cities. Its desolate and
fever-laden atmosphere has for cen
turies given to Rome a splendid isola
t’on and filled the sleep of the sum
mer traveler to the city with malaria-
haunted dreams,” says a bulletin from
the Washington, D. C., headquarters
of the National Geographic society.
Aqueduct Ruins Witness Past Glory.
"The Capagna di Roma, that district
of Italy which so nearly corresponds
to ancient Latlum, lies along the west
crast of the country from Qlvltaveechia
to^Astura and the Pontine Marshes as
far Inlafld as the Alban and Sabine
Hills, where Horace wished for a lit
tle farm that he might enjoy the
'golden mean’ of life. Rome lies near
Its center. In Horace's day it was
cultivated and dotted with towns and
villas. Today the ruins of aque
ducts, once a mark for the Campagnn’s
pride, solemnly speak of their past
grandeur.
‘‘It Is almost Improper to speak of
the region as a plain. It is rather a
volucanlc sea extending on both sides
of the Tiber. Once the Mediterran
ean probably pushed far up the valley
and most of the area resembled an
archipelago. Then evidently there was
a great' volcanic upheaval, the earth
rose near the coast, the sea was
pushed back, the streams from the Al
ban mountains found no outlet, and
the marshy stagnant waters have swal
lowed cities, leaving no trace of them
—merely their memories and their
names., Tufa and ashes partially fill
ed un^the water, creating a marsh,
wbl<;n became the home of the ele
phant and the stag.
Italy Realizes Value of Area.
‘‘Outside of Rome this expanse hat
lain for centuries, breathing its fevor
laden breath upon the city. It hat
seemed, almost, to await to swalloi
the Eternal City itself. Now Italy,
realizing that this vast area can bo
made to yield excellent fruits and
grains and thus enable her to hold
her place as the commercial mistress
of the Mediterranean has drained and
Irrigated parts of it, and it Is hoped
that soon the whole of the Campagna
will be under cultivation.
‘‘In Bomd .places the undeveloped
:irea consists of unproductive graz
ing lands, to which In the autumn
herdsmen drive tliclr cattle and horsos
down from the mountains to grase;
in others, there are shaggy grass-
grown ditches and deep holes made
by searches for catacombs. Occasion
ally a farmhouse will' break ttye big
expanse of loneliness. The homes
which are often enough picturesque
little nestB, are wretched and dirty.
Malaria has chilled the bones of the
inhabitants.
Night Brings Clammy Chill.
‘‘The region is moderately cold In
winter and there are occasional snow
storms. In the summer the oppressive
heat parches the soil in spots and
produces several inches of dust. The
careful guide-book warn the traveler
that evenings on the Campagna are not
in keeping with the day. Tho sun
seems to drop suddenly out of the sky.
and a clammy penetrating cold wellr
up.
‘'Perhaps it is the atmosphere of
the surrounding Campagna which
gives Rome part of its lure. Its faint
whispers, its strange smells, and the
mist that rise over it peak of the re-
lentlessncss with which it has swal
lowed everything that ventured to
live in it.
"It is probable, however, that as
Italy reclaims this desolate and dc
sorted region to Its former state of
prosperity, the old saying applied to I
the Campagnfa—‘You get rich In si
months, but you dlo In four’—will
pass into history.”
