It will be at leaat three years before
the new District building is ready tor
Dccopency, and it is likely that It wfil
be ' nearer four years. Buch Is the
statement mads by Supervising Archi
tect James Knox Taylor of the treas-
hrr deDartment regarding the im
provement, in which the people, of the
District of Columbia ore much inter
bated. The puns for the structure, on
which twelve architects are working
In competition, are to be submitted by
Dec 6V The decision of the Judges
chosen to make a selection will be
made immediately after the receipt of
the designs. Following the acceptance
of the successful architect's plans, the
winner of the competition will take up
the work of preparing the drawing,
buns nod specifications. This task, It
ts estimated by Mr. Taylor, wUl take
from eight to ten months. This done,
the work can be given over to the con
tractors probably about a year from
now.
The erection of the building will re
bulre, Mr. Taylor says, from two to
three years from the time the con
tractors start on the work. Consequent
ly the end of 1905 is about the time
that Washlngtonlans can expect to
transact business with their local gov
ernment in the new structure devoted
to Its purposes. The limit of cost set
by congress for the building Is $900,

painting. .

FLIGHT OF THE SNIPE.
It DodatasT Cornea Froal the Anecev
traJ Method of AToldlaa; Foe a.
The flight of the snipe Is swift, vigor
ous and aerially for the first few yards
erratic. The bird gets under way
smartly, And as a usual thing goes bor
ing up wind In a style rather sug
gestive of a feathered corkscrew. A
Series of electrical zigzags get him to
top - speed, whereupon his progress
steadies a bit and he darts away in
something more ttke a straight line. As
B'generat rule a flushed bird springs a
few, feet into th air, bangs for the
fraction of a second, then begins to
twist and dodge as though the Old Boy
was-at his tali. It would be very In
teresting could we discover the original
causa of the dodging. Possibly some
ancient foe, now long extinct was best
baffled by that mode of flight, for
there usually Is some such explanation
foe peculiar actions by wild things.
Because tha flight happens to be puz
cling , to a gunner is no guarantee that
the bird dodges for that purpose-such
aa exslanantlon would Imply a deal
more Intelligence than the entire tribe
Df enlpe are possessed of. Snipe, of
course, dodged oa the wing long prior
to the appearance of firearms, and tt
is extremely anUkely that the erratic
flight haa anything In the nature of
protective tactics against the devices of
human foes. Edwyn Sandys In Out
