U. S. CAPITAL.

Planned in Fields and Woods.
Plans Drawn by American Architect

Be City Beautiful.

Canberra, N. S. W.-Americans viii
take a keen interest in the construo-
ton of the federal capital city of the
commonwealth Of Australia, because,
like the federal capital city OF the
United States, it was completely plan
ned before the foundation stone Of the
first permanent building was laid, and
also because the architect whose de-
signs have been accepted, Walter u
ley Griffin, is an American, says the,
Boston Transcript. The choice OF the
Canberra district of New South
Wales, as the site of the city, was
made by the commonwealth govern
ment in 1910, and the invitation to,
architects embodying the conditions OF
completion was issued April 30, 1911.
To give an idea Of the magnitude OF
the task, 1t may be stated that the,
requirements for the consideration of
the designers included the ALLEGATION,
of appropriate areas embracing sites
not only for the house Of parliament,
residence of the governor general and
the usual ministerial and administra-
tive Offices, but places Of public wor-
ship, mint, national art gallery and
library, state house, printing office,
government factories, university, tech
meal college, city hall. general post
office, museum, central railway sta
ton, railway marshaling yards, mill
tary barracks, criminal and police
courts, jail, hospital, national thea
ter, central power station, gas works.
markets, stadium, parks and gardens,
etc. 1t was a great work to design this
model city, and Mr.. Griffin may well
be congratulated ON his success in
winning the opportunity to give Wash

is certainly one that seems to invite
a city beautiful" The lay Of the
land, combining easy gradients with
prominent hills of moderate height,
will lend itself easily to the produc.
ton Of fine architectural and land

of the Wagga Wagga district, and
about 40 miles from the town Of Yass,
on the main line of the railroad be-
tween Sydney and Melbourne, and it
is about $50 miles from Jervis bay,
with which 1t is to be connected by
a new railroad. The temporary Aus

building yet OF the site, excepting a
few farmhouses, but now that the

in his reign, King Alfonso narrowly
escaped death, being the victim of an
anarchists attempt against his life.
Three shots were fired at the king by
a native of Barcelona, Rafael Sanchez
Allegro, who was Immediately over

King Alfonso owes his escape to
his W courage, quickness and
skilled Craftsmanship. Accompanied
by his staff, he was riding along the
Gale de Alcala, returning from the
ceremony Of swearing in recruits,
when a man sprang from the sidewalk
and seized the bride of the kings
horse with n hand, drawing a re-
volver with the other.
The king with lightning rapidity
dug his squire into his horse, which
reared violently. His quickness saved
his life. The first bullet, instead Of
burying itself in the kings breast,
struck the horse on the neck, but so
close was it that the kings lefthand
glove was blackened by the powder
discharge.
