Written for The Evening Star.
Thomas A. Edison believes that mankind
ought to be ashamed of itself because the
problem of aerial navigation by human
beings was not solved years ago. He also
makes the rather remarkable statement
that, while Santos-Dumont has done great
thing in steering airships about through
the air, it will be a long time before any
continuance for air navigation is CONNER
cially possible, because no inventor will be
able to secure any reward for his labor in
this line of work under the present patent
laws. To make this great possibility prac-
teal 1t seems that we shall have to estab-
lish a sort of protective academy of inven-
ton, which shall reward the successful in
Ventor of the commercial airShip.
Il was down in Florida recently and one
day l watched a big bird-I think it was
vulture-that f1oated about in the air
whole hour without moving its wings per-
ceptibly. When God made that bird He
gave it machine to fly with but He didn't
give it much else. He gave the bird very
| small brain with which to direct the move
ments of the machine, but He gave to man
much larger brain in proportion to that
| of the bird
| Mr. Edison is not the first to make such
| a comparison, but when he talked this way
| the other day to Santos-Dumont, the Bra
| lillian aeronaut there was a world of mean
| ing in the words. The wizard of the labor
| atory was much interested in the young
| man who had startled Paris and the world
by steering an airship over the city, not
| once but several times.
you are the only man who has done
| such thing" exclaimed Mr.. Edison
II am sure you have never worked on the
| problem of aerial navigation replied San
| tos-Dumont, "or you would have accom-
plished years ago more than 1 have done
| now" The aeronaut was not trying to be
| complimentary; he has the highest admira-
| tion for Mr.. Edison and his inventive ge-
| MUS.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
Though the Bibles used at modern corona
tons are lost to the public the nation pos
sesses in the Cottonian library volume
asserted to have been used at the corona
lions of English sovereigns 800 years before
England took their coronation eaths. This
brought to England from Scotland. It is a
Latin manuscript of the four Gospels, on
which tradition asserts the ancient Kings Of
England took their coronation oaths This
manuscript is a quarto volume of PIT leaves
written apparently toward the end of the
ninth century, and for the period is a fine
specimen of the writing and art of iIlumina-
zion. 1t narrowly escaped destruction in
the fire at Ashburnham House in 1871. and
bears evidence of its danger in crumpled
leaves and singed margins. There seems
good evidence that Aethelstan owned fha

anything which will tend to add to the use
fulness of the building he will introduce it,
In ract the plans have been very care
fully studied out both by the architect and
by Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop and it
is the purpose that the new building shall
be the best of the kind In this country.
When this section of the building is COM

a gasoline or gunpowder motor, something
that will get up power quickly and which
at the same time weighs little. Santos-Du-
mont Is on the right track in that regard
but he can't go much farther till he gets rid
of his gas bag. You cannot control a bal

Redeem to build on the south side of Whit

Redfern to build on the south side Of Whit
ney avenue between Sherman avenue and
18th street. The material used in the fronts
of these houses will be buff brick and light
stone. They will be three stories In height
and will contain ten rooms. With the ex-
ception of the corner, each of the houses
will be 1Sx55 feet
An Apartment House.
The same architect has also prepared
plans for an apartment house which Mr..
Redfern intends to build on the south side
of Corcoran street between 10th and 18th
streets. The building will be four stories
in height and 25x100 feet. There will be
two suites on each floor, and each of the
suites in the front of the building will
contain four rooms, and those in the rear
five rooms. Buff brick and stone of light
shade will be used In the exterior.
Enlarging a Building.
A further addition to the Portner apart
ment house is contemplated. and plans for
the extension of the building north along
10Th street have been prepared by c. A.
Didden, architect, who designed the entire
structure. The new part will be in har-
mony with the present building and will
add considerably to the facilities of what
is now one of the largest structures of the
sort in the city.
q NEW
The new part of the establishment of
Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop, which is
in course % construction, ought properly
to be called their new store building both
on account of its size and the character Of
the construction. 1t is to cover the entire
area of the recent acquisition of land made
by this firm so that the new part or the
new store building will have a frontage of
200 feet on G street and 100 feet on both
10th and 18th streets. The design, which is
the work of Henry Ives Cobb architect,
commercial structures in all parts of the
country, provides for modern steel skel-
etOn frame and tireprOof structure.
1t is to be eight stories in height with a
large basement and, as the design of the
exterior shows. its main purpose is to fur
nish facilities for the business carried on
by this firm. For this reason the first two
stories will be built entirely of iron and
plate glass, while above the upper stories
will have a framework of gray Roman
brick buff stone and terra Gotta. There Is
to be a straight cornice of terra Gotta and
the roof will be fiat.
A Modern Structure.
The design is plain and simple and, yet
there is sufficient ornamentation to give the
structure a pleasing effect. The work of
building is done in the most substantial
fashion under the direction of the builder,
Samuel EdmonstoD and the new structure
will not only be thoroughly modern, but
will be the best of the kind to be found
anywhere. Mr.. Woodward is in Europe, in
tending to spend some time abroad, and

An Interesting Type Of House
Architecture.

SOME OF THE BUILDINGS ERECT
ED IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
Progress Of Improvements and De-
scription of the Present Conditions
of the Market.

A good deal of interest is shown in the
residence of Mr.. Robert w. Patterson,
which is now in process of erection at the
northeast section of Dupont circle. The
scaffolding has been about the walls, so
that the details Of the structure We're par
TALLY concealed, but now this obstruc-
ton is nearly cleared away, and the
house stands out practically as it will
when fully completed. In both materials
and in the treatment this hous is in
a class by itself. The style of architecture
is in general that of the Italian renais-
sanCe, but it is treated with much freedom.
While there is perhaps more ornament
than is usual IN houses Of this style. it is
SO delicate and shows so much self-re-
straint that it is only by close study one
realizes the architect has been rather Law
ish in this respect.
The admirable blending in color of the
materials is one of the most attractive fea-
lures. The prevailing tone is white, but is
a shade that is neither gIaring nor insipid
From the base of the structure. which is
formed by the white marble of the first
story, to the roof, which is covered with a
thing of a light shade of green. the color
scheme is harmonious and pleasing. The
cold effect of the white marble of the first
story is modified by the terra Gotta of O
warmer shade Of white which forms the
upper stories
Panels of Marble.
The monotony which might result from
the use of such mass of similar color
IN material as is required in the
three upper stories and in the cor
nice of the roof is relieved be-
tween the windows of the second and
third stories by panels formed of white
marble, but of the veined variety. The
