tleman, with Mrs. Lawton, expects
to follow them sometime between

owing to the scarcity of tonnage the
steamship travels circuitous route,
going first to Havana, thence to
Puerto Cortez, and from that point
returning to New Orleans. Former

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Aeroplane man.
ufacturers are losing no time in de-
veloping long distance machines for
transatlantic flights for which
tempting prizes have been offered
by various newspapers and aviation
clubs.
The rumors persist in Paris that
a Handley-Page machine. has alrea-
dy crossed the ocean, from New
foundland to Ireland, but that the
flight was kept secret in order that
the Germans might not know that
machine had been produced which
could bomb Berlin. The Allies had
secret information that the enemy
felt perfectly secure about the ina
bility of aeroplanes to fly that far
into the Fatherland and get back
and had practically no anti-aircraft
batteries posted to protect his capi-
tai. 1t was realized that once it be-
came known a plane had crossed the
Atlantic the boche would take the
tip and strengthen. his defenses at
Berlin.
Farman has contracted a quad
ruple motor biplane equipped with
four propellers and driven by en-
gines generating more than 1000
horsepower, which he believes can
negotiate the transatlantic flight.
This machine will have an average
speed Of ITO miles an hour and can
carry gasoline and oil for thirty-six
hours. The body of the machine ex-
tends the whole length of the fuse
lage, from the nose to the tail piece
and the crew can walk up and down
through the passageway. Multiple
wheels make landings easier and
safer.
Bleriot has also constructed BIZ
motor machine, with two tractor and
two pusher propellers, which he be-
ieves can fly 1000 miles without a
stop. The Bleriot machine is BIZ
plane. but the lower wings are much
smaller than the upper, along the
lines of the Nieuport chasse model
The Bleriot plane is expected to
maintain a speed of $50 miles an
hour for twenty-four hours.

THE MELON OUTPUT.

From the records of the Horticul-
tural Commission it is learned that
Imperial Valley shipped during the
season just closed 4422 cars Of canta-
loupes and 476 cars of watermelons.
These went to markets Of the East
and West and, while the average price
per crate cannot ie estimated, in JUS
tice to the shippers, it is authentic
that the total amount Of money real
lied by the farmers of the Imperial
Valley will be $3,SO0,0OO.
No other cantaloupe section Of the
United States equals the output OF
he Imperial Valley, and, as a usual
thing, the melons being shipped to
market earlier than from any other
ection, the prices for the early ar
rivals are higher than at the end of
the season, when so many other dis
tricts are reaching the markets.
The season was considered a good
one and most Of the melon growers
are greatly pleased with the returns
received.
