flights before the Wrignt brothers began their experiments, will read an im

five large machines of different types, and, afterwards designed his famous multiple-winged apparatus. Three hundred glides were made on this contrivance, and after that the Chanute biplane, which had a tail consisting of

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, July 23. American ar

chitecture and sculpture is on the eve

of rising to a higher plane if the plans;

mapped out by the national commis

sion of fine arts, recelntly created by

an act of congress materialize. The feasibility of improving on the country's art by allowing only the highest class of work in the architectural and sculptural cults to be accepted by the government In Washington is thought pracUcable by all government officials Interested. The work of the new commission will be to pass particularly on statuary to be erected in any part of the District of Columbia. It has long been the contention of the artists that many of the statues of great men in the public buildings and squares of the national capital are obnoxious to the artistic eye. For years art critics of the country have urged the creation of a censorious commission to pass upon such class of government work. Now that the commission has been appointed and $Io.nn appropriated with which it can carry on its work, tho art world is waiting to seo what effect it is going to have on the carv

ing of marble and the molding of

bronzes erected to tell posterity of the men who made the nation. Surely

the commission will work good for the

city of Washington and for the beauti

ncation of statuary in its parks and elsewhere. But this alone Is not all it

will do In the opinion of the men who worked for Its creation. It is believed by all that the work of the commission will be felt in every section of the country where architecture or sculpture Is carried on for the federal government. And this, so artists say, will cause the architect and sculptor to work harder on all private work done by him. Thus such class of work will rise gradually to a higher level and our architecture and sculpture will be greatly enhanced by the work of several men who work without pay, specifically to beautify the statuary of the national capital. Although the act of congress which created the new board did so that it might pass specifically on the statues

used in this city, already the commission has been asked to pass upon the plans of a public building. This they did after several days of consideration making practically no changes in the plans. The plans were for the new bureau of engraving and printing which Is to be erected on the land adjoining

the present structure which houses the!

government money making plant. This alone causes officials to think that the commissions scope of work will steadily grow, until it cover all

branches of art. In this event the personnel of the commission will very likely have painters, sculptors, architects and probably musicians,. At present the commission is comprised of three architects, one landscape architect, one sculptor, one artist and one layman. The plan of the commission is to censor all statues presented 'to the government and after reviewing all submitted to select the best. Those works of art of such a standard that merit other reward besides pay, will be given a place in the Mall which greesward runs from the Capitol to the Washington monument. It is the ambition of the commission

to make the Mall to American sculptors what the Salon of Paris is to French painters. If only one statue In every hundred is of such class as to warrant its erection In the Mall that statue will be placed there regardless

of the time It will do to dot the parking with such works of art President Taft is among the most enthusiastic over the future of the na

tional commission of fine arts. He has

written the chairman of the commission requesting that the commission acquiesce to being called upon at any time to approve plans for public buildings in all cities In the country. Chairman Burnham of the commission has in turn notified the president that the commission will be at his service at any time to pass upon whatever plans are submitted by him. The men selected to act as members of the commission were appointed by

Daniel E Purnham, chairman of the board Is a well known architect of Chicago.- Thomas Hastings and Cass Gilbert, also architects of New York, are prominent in their profession, while Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape 'artist of the commission is one of the best known men in his line in this section of the country. Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, was appointed a member because of his fame at his craft. Frank Millet is the only member of the body who resides in Washington with the exception of Col. Spencer Cosby, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, who is secretary of the commission. Charlea Moore, another member, is a business

man of Detroit, Mich. Washington statuary Is now undergoing Its first stetp toward improvement. Recently the superintendent of public buildings and grounds ordered that the bases of all the larger statues in the parks should be cleaned. This was done and the result was so satisfactory that the superintendent has now given orders that all the stat

ues snail go through the same process. Hence many of the bronze and marble figures of famous men are looking newer today than they did fifty years ago. More interest has been taken in the architecture and statuary of the national capital within the past few

years than heretofore. From all parts of the country criticism and suggestions regarding it have been made. As a result the itnerest taken by Americans have awakened the administration to the fact that the capital must be built to posterity and not as a temporary institution to crumble and degenerate in a short century.

The manager of the campaign of O. H. Colquitt, anti-prohibitionist of Terrel, however, dispute this claim and asserts that his candidate has a small plurality. It is not likely that definite results will be known before Monday. It looks as if prohibition submission has won and all sitting members of congress had been returned. -

It is exactly 81 years since the horse omnibuses first appeared in our London streets, from which they are now disappearing. In 1828 they were first used in Paris, and their introduction into London was due to George Shilli-

beer, who had a romantic career, first j as a "middy" in the British navy, and afterwards as a coach builder in Paris. He placed the first two omnibuses ever seen in England on the London streets July, 1829. They were built to carry 22 passengers, all inside, and were drawn by three beautiful bays harnessed abreast Outside in large letters was printed the words "omnibus," on both sides of the vehicles. Large crowds assembled to witness tho start from the Yorkshire Stinge, the Journey being to the Bank, for which the charge was twenty-five

cents. Newspapers and magazines were provided free of charge for the travelers. In 1890 over 4,000 horse-drawn omnibuses were licensed by Scotland Yard, but the advent of the motor and de-
