world is standing by a platform in

House of Representatives at Wash

steel cars, each of them only six
teen feet long, and is under charge
of a motorman and conductor, both
of whom wear the uniform of the
United States Government.
The rotunda is the most striking
architectural feature Of the palatial
annex. Seventy-fve feet in diane

the four stories Of the great white
marble building (which occupies an
entire block, terminating in
dome under the roof. All of the
space underground beneath its floor
is occupied by the subway station

The train standing by the plat
form is waiting for passengers and
rapidly fills with members of Con
greSs and other people, mostly Off
cialS, who come down from above
in the UNDERSTANDING elevators and
and hurry aboard. Each little car
holds ten, so that the entire train
will accommodate only about sixty
persons. A moment later the con-
ductor gives a signal, the motor
man turns on the electric current
and the train stars on its journey.

FLIGHTS HAILED
AS HISTORICAL
FRENCHMEN REGARD AVIATOR
AS A WONDER
Curiosity Over Aeroplane Record
Tempered by Regard for Ability
Of Daring American and
Belief In Him

LEMANs. France. Sept. 27.-All the
world is now following the aeroplane
developments of the Wright brothers.
and the name of the Americans is on
the lips of readers OF the news in many
languages. An interest in their feats
has been aroused which eclipses that
taken in any previous aerial flights.
The curiosity aroused in France is
unusually great, and persons have
fiocked here from outside to see what
they believe will be historical flights.
A feature of the public opinion Is the
general belief In the ability OF the
Wrights to accomplish greater things
especially in bringing travel through
the air to practical basis. II Wilbur
Wright should make the announcement
that he would accomplish new records
on a certain date the average French
man, who is usually skeptical In such
matters. would accept the statement.
The fact that Wright is reticent and
not given to advance notices has
strengthened him greatly in the French
mind.
