Climate on the PaeIne Coast.

The Pacific shore of North America
Is washed by a'warm ocean current
that crosses from the Chinese seas, and
tempers tho winters just a those OF
Europe arc tempered by the Influence
of the Gulf Stream. From Arizona
to Alaska the mean temperature OF
January Is less at every point west of
the Rocky Mountains-in many cases
twenty degrees warmer-than at other
places In the same latitude on the other
side Of tho continent. The superior
warmth of winter Is not confined to
the region west Of the Rocky Noun
tains, but extends also TO q considera-
BILE district at their eastern base, north
of latitude ~ degrees.
The summers near the ocean are
tembered by the trade winds, which
blow with remarkable regularity In a
southeasterly direction along the coast,
and they carry over the land the cool
ness that they have brought from
northern ATTITUDES. Wherever their
influence Is felt there Is an oppressive
heat, and most summer days are so
cool on the beach, from San Luis Obs
DO, In the Strait Of Fuca, that wooden
clothing Is necessary for comfort.
The summer heat is as great at noon
as 1t Is fifty miles from the ocean on
on the Atlsutio side, but the nights
are cool on account of the influence OF
the numerous snow mountains from
which cool air currents begin to de-
scend into the valleys ct sunset.
The general climate Of our slope 10
also drler than that Of the Atlantic
slope. The atmosphere has less mois-
ture In 1t, the rainy days are not so
numerous, and the rainfall Is confined
to a small part Of the year.
The valley Of Puget Sound has a
much cooler summer and a much
warmer winter than Maine, which Is
In the same latitude ; and the same re-
mark applies to San Francisco as COM
pared with Richmond. .... ..r'
The valleys of California have the
climate of Italy, and have no parall-
ellis on the eastern shore Of our contin-
emit. The difference Of climate Is all
advantage of vast Importance in many
respects, and not a few Californians
think they could not, under any cir.
c~umstances, enjoy life in the broiling
summers and freezing winters Of New
York.-John S. HineH.
