to follow Mr.. Jones example, the
following brief outline of some of
these exercises are here given:

Looking back from the top OF the
next hill, I saw only a little strip OF
muddy clay, which dwindled to a
barely perceptsble line, crumbled and
vanished. The water swept on over
the spot. Evidently we were the last
to cross the Rio Puercos River that
night.
When we looked up we saw that
the clouds were gathering force pre-
paratory to a final deluge. After
crossing a few more washes we
reached Holbrook and pulled into a
garage just as the storm broke,
In the morning we started out
with the intention OF making the
Grand Canyon, where we expected to
stay over the week end. At Canyon
Diablo we met some mixers on the
way to Los Angeles from Chicago.
We wished them well and went on
westward toward Flagstaff. In Co.
conino National Forest we saw some
beautiful pines, especially, near Flag
staff. At Maine we turned off for the
Canyon, and after four hours of driv-
ing through open country and tim
berland we arrived there. The camp
was situated on a hill among the
pines. After pitching camp we walk
at this masterpiece of nature.
Later we set off for the Mojave
Desert, with the prospect of warm
weather before us.
AT Topock we saw the Colorado
River again and crossed 1t into Cali
fornia. We found that we were for
tunate in striking breezy day as this
kept the temperature down. 1t was
only 105 degrees. Before reaching
Escondido we were detoured to the
coast route, which we struck a little
south of Oceanside. Hero we caught
our first sight of the Pacific Ocean,
which we paralleled all the rest of
the way. The sun was going down
as we sped through Delmar and start
ed up Torrey Pines Grade Near the
top we had our last puncture and we
changed the tire as the sunset faded

THERE is some reason to believe
that some one fabricated an air

OF the Queen of Sheba. OF course
there was no motor-possibly IL was

Aeronautical Society in the preface
to Bibliotheca Aeronautica," states
that Solomon gave to the Queen of
Sheba "a vessel wherein one could
traverse the air for wind. which Solo
mon had made by the wisdom that
God had given unto him" There are
other references to flight in Abyssin-
ian sacred writings, and there is q

way in which the Queen of Sheba's
