OVERWATER RECORD BROKE
Farnun Fish. Boy Aviator, Flies Over
Lake Michigan from Chi.
cago to Milwaukee.

Automatically flying over Lake
Michigan from Chicago to Milwau-
kee, Farnum Fish, 1S-year-old avia-
tor, broke the overwater flight rec
ord for an aeroplane, covering the
distance OF approximately 100 miles
in six minutes more than an even two
hours time.
The previous over-water record
was held by Paulhan, a French avia-
tor, who covered seventy-eight miles.
Fish made the fight in good or
der, passing his stations along the
lake shore as he had scheduled the
trip, arriving on schedule, and land
ing in Lake Park.
Starting from Cicero field, south
of Chicago, Fish rose to a height of
1000 feet, which he maintained
throughout the trip. His highest al
titude was about 5000 feet, attain
ed directly over Milwaukee. Just
before landing the daring boy avia-
tor found his supply of gasoline had
given out and he was compelled to
yolplane to the earth.
On the trip Fish carried a pouch
of United States mail and 800
pounds of silk consigned to local
store.

INGENIOUS Decorative Idea.

Bertha Merfield, an Australian artist,
has an ingenious idea for decorating
homes. She uses door panels, alcoves
and convenient parts of the walls for
decorative purposes. She paints on
the walls landscape scenes, bits of
flora and fauna typical of the country
in which the house is situated. Miss
Merfeld would go still further, how
ever, and have the furniture and the
hangings harmonic with the wall
decorations Miss Merfeld thinks that
this phase of art has not been de-
yeloped as much as 1t should, and be-
aieves that In the next 20 years many
women will take up such work as their
IL professions With the building OF
luxurious houses, she says, there will
be a greater demand for artists who
make a speciality of decorating and
furnishing homes,

WISCONSIN, CAPITOL
TO Be HANDS0MEsT
State Building Under Conssruc-
ton Is Unsurpassed.
COST WILL TOTAL 5000, 900
Now Reasonably Certain That Struc-
ture Viii be Completed by july {,
l9I6-PIan Tearing Down Old North
Wing Next Year.

Madison. The new $4,000, 600
capitol building of Wisconsin will be
the handsomest structure of its kind
IN the United States, according to
Lew F. Porter. secretary of the cap
ltoi commission and supervising
architect. With the exception of the
Wisconsin capitol the most preten-
tlous structures are those of New
YORK, which will cost S20,000,0 900,
and or Pennsylvania, which cost S.
VO0,0O0. Neither in size, design nor
architectural beauty viii either of
the two eastern buildings excel that
OF Wisconsin. The cubic capacity of
the state capitol will be equal to that
OF the New York building and will
exceed that of the Pennsylvania
structure.
The great dome of the new build
ing rises 500 feet and four great
wings five stories high extend at the
points of The compass. The extreme
length of the building from east to
west and from north to south will
be 426 feet. The ground area COW
cred is about 10000 square feet.
of which the dome includes 10000.
The capacity of the entire building,
exclusive of approaches, terraces and
areas, will be 100000 cubic feet.
The building has been under con-
struct1on seven years and it is rea-
sonably certain that it will be fin
1shed by July l, 1916. Two wings,
the east and west, have been com
pleted The south wing will prob
ably be finished this year. The steel
frame of the dome is erected and will
be enclosed before 1913. The north
wing of the old capitol, the only part
of the building still standing, will
be torn down next year and the foun-
dation for The new wing laid. The
new wing VIII be built in 1914 and
1915.
Contracts for all of the work ex-
cept the interior finishing of the
north wing have been let, carrying
more than 100000. The actual
amount so far spent on the build
ing and heating plant, the latter
separate structure half a mile from
the capitol, is $3,673,431.15 The
commission is authorized to spend
$1,0O0,O00 year and the legislature
has made provision by taxation and
direct appropriation for $6.10e,GOO
for the entire construction.
The interior and exterior decora-
tive work will represent the best
work of living sculptors and will
cost small fortune. The paintings
in the assembly and senate cham
bers will be by world famous artists
and will cost $4,000 The paint
ings in the governors reception
chamber, which is a reproduction of
the reception room of the ducal pal
ace in Venice, were made by John
Balm, who received $4,000 for the
work. Frank D. Millet, Titanic vic
tim, was under contract to produce
the paintings for the supreme court
chamber for $4,000 The capitol
park is being improved at a cost of
$4,000.

| Even when the son ''inherits" his IA
theirs wit, as we say, his father may
still keep his own, and on occasion
even be able to cope successfully with
his offspring. DIR. James B. Angel
tells, in his "reminiscences" the fol-

days at Brown university, under the
Presidency of Dr. Wayland:
The doctors son, Heman Lincoln
Wayland, one of my classmates, in
herited from his father a very keen
wit. The passages between father and
son were often entertaining to the
class. One day, when we were con-
sidering chapter in the fathers text
book on moral philosophy, Lincoln
rose with an expression of great solem-
nifty and respect and said:
"Sir, / would like to PROFOUND a
question"

Why" continued the son, "in an
other work of the same learned au-
thor, entitled ON the Limitations OF

lowing passage"
He then quoted again. Clearly the
two passages were irreconcilable. The
boys we're delighted to see that the
doctor was in a trap, and broke into
loud laughter.

and his eyes twinkled still more mer-
rily.

What struck me most about the

The only comfort for the New York,

what invidious comment, is that the
