Another effect of the curious San
Francisco climate is Of considerable in
terest to strangers, as 1t makes nine
out of every ten sick the first week they
are here. The traveller from New
York, or even Canada, coming here at
this season does not bring his furs and
fannels. Before getting to California
he crosses thousands of miles of plains
and deserts, and is nearly baked. He
smiles if a San Franciscan happens to
be along and talks of OvercOats, and, if
the San franciscan is a smaller man,
feels like knocking him down when he
sits up and watches him wipe the pers-
piratiOn off his brow and talks about
cold winds and hannels.
1t must be confessed that along the
Arizona or Utah desert, with tl2e Their
mOmeter boiling in the shade, the
fastener has a right to feel angry with
the San Franciscan's talk, and even
until Oakland, only three miles from
the city, is reached, his incredulity
seems justified; but now it is different.
Mark the change that a short three
miles brings. Mark how a paltry half
hour will draw that self-cOufident east
ener up, will chill and turn blue his
erstwhile smiling lips. The keen wind
sweeps across the bay, and by the time
the ferry lands at Market Street, San
Francisco, climate has got in its work,
and the easterner goes to bed shivering,
while one Of the pOrters goes out and
gets him a ''back-warmer' and some
winter clothing.

The Result In Kansas

The state gives Blaine & Logan fully
$4,000, and Martin over Click has about
10000 plurality. A full delegation OF
republicans are elected to congress and
both branches Of the legislature are al
most unanimous Republican. Han
backs majority over Uhl for congress
is about 1900, carrying every county.
Mr.. Granger's majority Tor Senator is
from 800 to 1000. The full republican
tickets are elected in almost ali the
counties and especially in this part
the state. Philips county looses Two
republican candidates by the Efforts o.
defeated candidates and their friends to
punish The party for failing to nominate
them. This, Of course is ali legitimate,
but it leaves the door wide open for ike
chickens to come home to roost.
The national result is still in doubt
and the Official count will probably be
required to determine the status OF New

"What did they give YEP"
A Sahara Inland Sea.

The Bey OF Tunis has given M. Rau-
daire authority to carry out his scheme
for transforming portion of the Desert
OF Sahara into an inland sea.
NJ. Roudaire is French naval officer,
who has devoted special attention to
photography. In 1873, while engaged
in geodetic observations with view to
determining the meridian of Biskra, q
town in Central Algiers, he was i'm
pressed with the fact that portion Of
the great Desert Of Sahara is below the
level Of the Mediterranean. He con-
cluded that this must DO the bottom OF
IN ancient sea, and he conceived the
project Of cutting through the dunes
which separate the sea from the desert,
with the idea that he would thereby
transform vast tracts Of arid waste iuto
fertile country. His plan seemed so
promising that the French Assembly
gave him an appropriation Of 100000.
and lie devoted two years to further sur
veys and observations. The results OF
this work were made public in 1877 and
created q profound impression. NJ.
Washington, who was then Minister OF
Public instruction, gave NJ. Roudaire
unequaled support. Since then the sur
veys have been re-made and tho project
has been the subject Of much con-
trovcrsy in the scientific world NJ.
Roudaire has become moro convinced
than ever Of the feasibility of his plan
and of the immense advantages which
will flow therefrom, and the difficulties
IN the way Of its realization are ono by
one giving way.
