Up to the Architects.

If the directors of the new airship company are correct in their predic- tion that within few years aeroplan- ing will be as common as motoring, the time may be near when the archi- tects will have to go to school again and learn their art afresh. Is the city of the future to be looked at as much from above as from the ground? !? Then plainly the architect will have to add a new dimension. Already he has to learn not to conceive of things in the flat and sacrifice to a pictorial fa- cade. His next achievement, when the port cochere is removed to the roof, will be to make the birde-eye view as pleasing as the perspective. "Dispective" may come to be the tech- nical term for bird's-eye view, a phrase which will be rather ridiculous by that time. Haven't the birds eyes like peoples, papa?" Brighteyes will ask, as the family volatore glides over the parapet of the up-to-date landscape -gardened roof. There will be large opportunity for decorative ef- fleets in summer or in warm climates flower gardens, mosaic pavements, roof pergolas, ornamental landing stages. Some thousands of years ago we craWled out of the ocean and inl- provised lungs out of swfmbladder. That was a rather important change is flying to be as revolutionary ?- Springfield Republican.

SECURED BY J. PIERPONT MORGAN
Control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society with
 $427.OO0,0OO of Assets.

New York, Dec. 2.--Control of the Equitable Life Assurance society, y,which was secured by Thomas F. Ryan soon after the insurance scandals of some years ago, has passed to J. Pierpont Morgan, with the $472 2,000,000 of assets which the company declared in its last statement The transfer, apart from its magnitude as a chapter in the his- tory of finance, marks a complete re- versal of the old order under which the insurance companies controlled the destinies of the banks and trust com panies.
 News of the transfer was contained in the following brief statement issued from the offices of Morgan & company:
 MT. Morgan has bought the ma jority of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society, formerly owned by Thomas F. Ryan. This purchase is subject to the trust under which Grover Cleveland, Morgan J. O'Brien and George Westinghouse were made voting trustees for the benefit of poli- cyholders, and it covers all Mir. Ryan.s' interest, including all the stock pur- chased by him from James H. Hyde"
 Beyond these bare facts MT. Morgan and his partners declined to give any details. e The exact amount of the stock bought by them and the price they paid remain for subsequent announce ment. Nor would they disclose if any other interests are allied with them, although it is commonly understood in Wall street that at least one large trust company may take a hand in the deal. If the consent of the Equitable is ob- tained. Under the terms of the trust agreement referred to in MT. Morgan's announcement, the Ryan stock could

The Southern View of General Lee.

In an article against the south, the New York Evening Post discusses the reported effort by the Confederate vet erans to have a bitter inscription writ ten by Robert G. Ingersoll the famous orator removed from the walls of Arlington. The erection of a statue to Robert E. Lee in the national cap itol," says the Post, "cannot free him from the reDroach of having chosen to lead the forces that battled for human bondage"
 The Post is sufficiently intelligent to know that Lee never did this. He was not in favor of human bondage, as he proved by manumitting his own slaves. The Post knows that Lee took com mand of the southern army not to sup port human bondage, but to repel the invasion of his native state. The Post knows that when Lee took command of the army slavery was not the issue, and Lincoln had given the distinct as- surance that it was not the purpose of the north to interfere with slavery. His purpose. he said, was to preserve the Union. and that alone. The south was fighting for the right to leave the Un- ion and the north was fighting to keep it from leaving the Union. Emancipa tion was merely a move in the game of war which had no official indorsement when Lee took command.-Baltimore Sun.
