THE MEDAL OF THE wRIGHTs.

The Wright brothers, the men who invented the efficient aeroplane, are to be honored by the presentation of a handsome gold medal given by Con gress. That they are the greatest ex- ponents of the science of aviation, that they have done more to help man fly than any other person or agency, can not be denied. Nor can 1t be denied that their machine. which Is heavier than air. can fly successfully over a limited field.
 But history is yet to say whether orrville and Wilbur Wright are to have place in the Hall of Fame side by side with such great inventors as Stephenson, Hudson and Morse. These men gave to the world inventions that revolutiopized the life of man and taught him new ways of living. The work of the Wrights has been remark able. but it is yet to be seen whether their invention revolutionizes progress and transportation.
 But an enviable fame is already se- cure to the Wright brothers Through all the ages, in which man has been trying to fly, no invention has ap- preached their success. The aeroplane may never become a feature of every day life, but it is a scientific accom- plishment that assures the wrights of remembrance by posterity.
