The dome of the original central
building of the National Capitol was
constructed of wood covered with
copper This was replaced by the
present structure of EAST iron. which
WIS completed in 1866. The dome
form has become common for state
capitol buildings. a notable example
being the capitol at Jefferson City,
says the St Louis GIobe-D Democrat.

MATTERN IN OMSK,
AHEAD OF RECORD
Moscow Learns Aviator Will
Not Continue Flight Until
Tomorrow.
Continued From First Page.)

wrest the nd-the-world fight rec
ord from Post and Gatty. was 70 hours
and Is minutes out of Floyd Bennett
Field when he landed at Omsk.
Up to that point in their history
making flight in 1881, Post and Gatty's
elapsed time from Roosevelt Field was
"A hours and 8 minutes.
Instead of stopping at the Siberian
city, Post and Gatty flew on 400 miles
to land at Novo-Sibirsk with an
elapsed time of 76 hours and SO min
utes. That same day the pair pro-
ceeded to Irkutsk, landing with al
elapsed time of 81 hours and SO
Mattern thus has 18 hours and "A
minutes to catch what rest he needs
at Omsk and fly the 1850 miles to
Irkutsk in time to. equal the Post
Gatty record to Irkutsk.
Mattern cabled his friend and backer,
Harry B. Jameson of Chicago, who is
staying here, just before he took of from
Moscow yesterday. The message said:
Feeling great health, still travelling
east, hope drop in on you soon, regards. :"
The message was not sent from the
Soviet capita! for more than an hour
after the flyer had left.
InaC MaCIeIu ndu gone on Sleep
diet" in preparation for his fight
around the world was disclosed today
by associates.
Jack Clark, Mattern's representative
here, said for the last two weeks Mat
tern had slept no more than five hours
a day and had varied his time for sleep
entirely around the clock. He explained
this was done to accustom the flyer to
sleeping at any time the opportunity
arose in addition to getting along with
as little sleep as possible

although he looked q little tired. After
his meal he slept for 2 hours, then had
a bath, after which he seemed much
refreshed. He said the trip from Oslo
to Moscow had been easy sailing except
for the time over the Baltic Sea, when
he had to fly blind" due to the fog.
He was dressed in plus fours and q
short leather jacket. When asked If
the strain wasn't terrific, Mattern said
he had slept only hours since leaving
New York, but that he didn't need
much sleep so much as relaxation and
that he got that when there was smooth
sailing.
Personally Works on Plane.
Mattern worked on his plane person
ally under the flare Of spotlight with
the help of Soviet mechanics.
Working at feverish speed the Amer
ican flyer and the mechanics discovered
a piece of felt In the gasoline line filter
which was causing all the trouble. They
soon fixed 1t up.
The scene was theatrical-gunmetal

cockpit, the Russians cranked the in

above the field, then, like a homing
pigeon, struck a beeline for the east
and disappeared.
