and an Antoinette aeroplane.
Edward Stone Of Boston-has a Be
riot monoplane.
Russell A. Alger Of Detroit, Mich,
has Wright biplane.

Charles W. Travers of Evansville,
Ind. has an aeroplane.
Franklin II. Warner Of White Plains,
N. Y, has an aeroplane.
Harry j. Hardness of New York has
an Antoinette aeroplane with q 100
horsepower motor.
There are many persons who own
aeroplanes and are building flying ma
chimes for business purposes. 1t Is
not fair to class this variety of enthu-
lasts with the men who are following
the game purely for sport, nor is it
just to associate them with men build
ing air craft for scientific purposes
A considerable number Of young
sportsmen are teaching themselves to
handle aeroplanes by sailing on Gid
ers. A glider is an aeroplane without
q motor. 1t enables man to get con-
siderable knowledge about equilibrium
and air currents.
Most Of the elders. ranging in price
from SIS to $1,000. are manufactured
on Staten Island. A number of young
New Workers have bought gliders and
are chasing around the suburbs.

THE SURPRISING WORK
OF NAVAJO JEWELLERS
Many New Things Just Received at
Balke's Big Curio Store.

Those who like the unique and the
beautiful should call at Balke's Big
Curio store and see the new stock OF
Navajo silverware and jewelry, among
which are bracelets set with native
stones. The store has had great deal
of trouble to keep supplied with brace
lets of the small and medium sizes, but
there are lots of them now.
There is also new stock of rings,
including some Mr.. Bake has been
trying to get for a long time-baby
rings. The Indians attempted to make
them. but the product was so crude
that their sale was not attempted.
Finally, the Navajo silversmiths sue
ceeded in turning out something really
beautiful, and now for the first time
those baby rings are on sale in PhOe-
nix or anywhere else. There are brace
lets to match.
There is also something unique In
the wa of an Indian made hatpin.
These are made from silver bride but
tons. which had been hammered out
of coins, quarters and half-dollars.
They come in a variety of designs.
some Of them being set with native
There is also a new line of Navajo
silver spoons in a hundred different
designs, no two alike. Some Of them
have the turquoise matrix set in the
handle. This is an opportunity to
make a collection. The spoons are
valuable on account of their associa-
ton and their very crudity gives them
an additional value in the eye Of the
collector.
But, speaking of souvenir spoons,
there IS a stock of them made at the
Big Cur.o from native copper and from
a mould which Mr. Bake has had copy
righted. It is a unique and beautiful
design. The handle consists of a cow
boy with RATA. surmounting a steers
head, which in turn rests upon a cac-
tus design. In the bowl of the spoon
is engraved a giant cactus with the

 Early Morning Fire at 4oItviIle.

The Holton Inter-urbans round house at Holtville was destroyed by fire last Monday morning, and one To. comotive was considerably damaged. The fire occurred early in the morn ing, when nobody was near, and the flames had gained such headway when discovered that the locomotive could not be removed by the other engine on the tracks.
 Tn cause of the fire is not known certainly, but it is supposed that the wind carried spark and dropped it where the wood was saturated with oil. The loss was about $2,000 and there was no insurance. A more sub stantial round house will take the place of the building destroyed.

DESERT EUCALYPTUS.
Varieties New to This Country Brought From Australia-Quick
 Growers.

Seeds of'a eucalyptus tree especial iy adapted for growth on the desert have been brought to this country from Australia by R. s. Webb. of 1920 Georgia street, Los Angeles.
 Mr. Webb, who is a native of Austra lia. but who has lived in California for the last 12 years, visited his na- tive land three months ago, for the purpose of introducing here varieties of eucalyptus which he believes are much superior to the blue gum and red gum now grown here
 The new varieties which he most recommends are the salmon gum (salmmaphloral or desert variety and the black butt (E pilulans.)
 The salmon gum" said Mir. Webb, "I found growing $40 miles in the in- terior of West Australia, in a region that has only six inches of rainfall a year and even where there is a great amount of alkali It attains'a height of 200 feet, and is from three to four feet thick 1t is an excellent wood for mines and railroads, but it is not the hest for furniture, although it takes q good polish.
 Tn Che desert it grows comparative iy slowly for eucalypt, but if well watered 1t is q very good grower
 "l obtained seeds from the govern ment botanist in West Australia, so as to be sure of the variety and hope to distribute them here, so as to give the tree trial in various re- gions.
 The blackbutt, or pilularis, is one of the best woods grown in Australia, and is the quickest growing tree known, beating even the blue gum, It grows 100 feet high in seven years, undH good conditions, and know of onY specimen 300 feet high and 15 fVt in diameter"
