In tho Union, ex
cepting the Zunls,
from an ethnologi

'Tho home of tho
Ava-Supl tribe Is botween tho deep de
files of Cataract canon, a tributary of
the Little Colorado river, which has
its rise In tho Dill Williams mountains.
The narrow valley Is from 100 to COO
yards wide, with walls of sandstono
and granite rising perpendicularly on
either side to "a sheer height of 2,000
td 4,000 feet. Tho approach Is bjr a
narrow, twisting, tortuous trail, whkh
(htaeonda from (ho broad plateau nbovo,
winding in and out beneath the tow
ering walls and precipices. Through
the center of tho little valley flows a
cold, clear stream, fed by tho mountain
sd'owB of the distant Dill Williams
peak. The current Is rapid and tho
power Is utilized In a crudo way for
grinning me grain, which is one of tho
Principal crops of this Arcadian peo
ple. At the lower end of tho stream
the water Is dlvortcd Into accqulas,
which carry It to tho fortllo fields.
The Ava-Supls havo but ono wlfo nt

In' the simplest posslblo manner, by
leaving tho lodgo of her husband and
refusing thereafter to rccognlzo him in
any manner. Thcro is a rnthcr Inter
esting tradition which tho Avn-Supls
tell concerning themselves. In tho
early days, ages and ages ago, the le
gend runs, their forefathers dwelt In
a great walled city on the mepns above.
They wow a contented and prosperous
people, cultivating vast floldH nod rals-
u cuurmous ncrus or stook. In the

domineering toward their weaker
neighbors. For weeks nt a tlmo thov

Tho Great Spirit whom they had al
ways worshiped grow angry at them,
and resolved to send somo terrible vis
nation that they might know tho
strength of his hand, it camo at nrou
day, when aN tho men and Vroincu wore

covered tko sky and for many hours
the shrlefts of those who had bcon left
within tho city walls wero heard nbovo
the sound of tho falling of their homes.
Whon light came again thoro was not a
sign of habitation left upon nil tho wide

channel of a great stream, but tho up

their demented kindred, who had hurl

story- of their death If It had uot nl-
rcady been known. Sadly, and after
tho barbaric rites of their people, the
remains wero committed to their final
rest, and their companions returned to
what seemed hopeless llvog below. Tho
tradition continues to relnt how men
from other tribes, generations nfter-

Tho air ship is now In a house on the

guarded, nnd nobody is allowed to go

repairing tho damngo done when he

Tho Inventor experienced no little trou
blo In getting tho ship rendy for tho
trip. After tho machine had been tak
en out of tho house, which stands on
a HttlO hill west nf t,., rw....ii
grounds, Into tho open nlr, the balloon
connected with It was charged with
hydrogen gas. Whon this work had
been finished Prof. Barnard seated him
self on tho bicycle part of tho ship,
placed his feet on the pedals nnd his
hnnds on tho bars nnd Informed the
attendants that ho was ready to tnko
his departure. Those In charge of tho
-opes let them out a little at a lime, and
They sar Prof. Barnard turn the ma
chUo la various directions, as ho had
told tho people who were present when
he left tho grounds ho would do. Thero
was a good wind from tho east at this
tLie, but the navigator of tho ship
seemed to bo able to do whnt he pleased
with tho machine. As stated by Prof.
Barnard, tho ship attained n great
height and sailed on until It wa8 lnnd
cd at a point twelvo miles from town.
During almost tho entire Journey Prof.
Barnard was busy pronclllnc tho mii-
chlne. Stopping while In n calm to uf
ccrtnln how tho ship would work with
out his aid, he found that It was about
to drift Into a current, and ho was
obliged to rcsumo propelling in order
to get out of It. Tho ship has an nlr
chamber shaped like n cigar and 1C feet
long by 18 feet In dlamoter. It In made
01 sun anu cotton nnd filled with hy
drogen gas. This chamber Is confined
in a network of smnll ropo which holds
the metallic framework and aeroplanes
underneath. The seat is mado on the
order of a bicycle frame, and from this
tho operator controls tho wlng3 or
aoropinncA, on either side. Tho two
propellers, or screws, extend In front
of tho operator, acting on the princi
ple of an auger. In guiding the air ship
the operator moves tho screw from
right to left In the direction he wlnhes
to go nnd ascends or descends by rais
ing or lowering tho sldo wines. Pmf
Barnard does not claim all tho credit
for his Invention, as he is using, by
permission, several features employed
by other experimenters In ncronautles.
The aeroplanes are frames of a light
wood and covered with a cotton fabric
The other frame work is of metal and
the parts were mado in Nashville, Now
York and Connecticut and shinned in
Nashville, where they were put togeth

of tho air ship he mado himself without

of April the Capltan Pasha arrived
with 9,000 troops, and the Insurrection
collapsed. Then commenced tho most
