RENOVATING THE
BIG CAPITOL
Superintendent of Capitol Building;
Rushing Work In Getting Ready
for the Opening of
Congress.,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 0. In nn
ticipation of tho early nssembling
of congress, now only five weoks
away, Elliott Woods, superintendent
of tho Capitol building, is redoubling
his efforts to got thnt big struc
ture in .readiness for tho roturning
lawmakers. Gangs of pinntcrs nnd
decorators' arc working overtime,
touching up tho faded spots in tho
corridors nnd committeo rooms. In
somo cases, cspeqially nt tho senntc
dnd of tho cnpitol, the cntiro inter
ior decorations of tho committee
rooms hnvo been worked over in now
designs nnd colors.-, 'A now carpet
in two shades of green will bo spread
over the- floor of t,ho senate chambor
nnd the two clnok rooms haVo been
supplied with marble floors and now,
mahogany furniture.
Tho greatest change being effect
ed in tho intorior of tho .cnpitol, out
side tho installation of a new ele
vator at tho southeast entrance, is
in tho sennto restaurant. Tho old
floor hns been removed and n new
one of blnck nnd white marble
blocks is being laid. Tho two 'pri
vate dining rooms for sonntors hnvo
boon thrown into ono lnrgo room with
tho result that it is bettor lighted' and
bettor vcntilntcd. Crystal chnudo
licrs will hnng from the cqiling and
the walls and ceiling will bo decorat
ed in a comfprtablo warm tint.
But tho most importnnt chango for
tho comfort of tho sonntors nnd rep
resentatives is tho construction of a
now hent and olectric power plant.
This plant will bo ready to furnish
hent and olectric light not only to the
cnpitol, tho scnato and house Office
buildings, but tho congrossionnl li
brary by December 1. It is nlso of
such enpocity that if in tho future
congress should docido to carry out
tho proposed plan of oreoting on tho
capitol plnzn n special building for
tho uso of tho supremo court nnd the
department of justice, a connection
enn easily bo mado and plenty of
powor supplied.

ALWAYS LOSE OUT
Men Whose Brains Create Great Un-
hcard-of Things Never

WASHINGTON, Nov. G. Pity tho
poor inventor. Tf there is anything
to bo 'snid of him, according to Gen
eral Allen, chiof signal officer of tho
army, it is that ho works hard for
nothing. In most enscs ho pays
more to sccuro his patents than ho
gots out of them. If ho consoles
j himself with tho dolusipn that ho has
ovolvcd something now for tho serv
ice of humnnity, he is again wronir.
This, obscrvntion of General .Al
len's was called. forth by tho fate
of patents on tho two most extraor
dinary' inventions of recent yenr-s
both of which enmo within the prov
ince of tho signal corps. Thoy aro
tho flying mnchino nnd wireless
telegraphy. Wireless tefegrnphy pat
ents hnvo led to somo glory, much
I litigation und moro or less chaos.
I The men who proposed to make for
tunes hnvo been grievously disap
pointed. Any amntour can sot up his
instruments nowndays and 'opo'rato
to his own sweet will. Patent laws
will not affect him, nnd there aro no
other laws vto regulate his actions.
Ho can do ns woll as tho discoverer
who spent a fortimo nnd years of
labor to mnko his pnstimo possible.
In viow of all this, it is n question
whether Wilbur and Orvijlo Wright's
achievements will bo ono of moro
than passing glory. If tho courts
docido that their patents nro mere
ly tho fruit of others' thinking,
thcro is no renson why tho amateur
should not run tho risk of breaking
his neck on a mnchino of his own
construction nftor tho pattern of tho
Wright aeroplane, just ns ho has,
been freo to dnbblo in wireless tel
egraphy. P. O. Hansen.

Foremost of tho vnenncios is tho
