the temperature at 7 Q. m. being 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit, the relative humidity.is
about eighty-fve per cent. From 10 q.
m. to p. M, the hottest part of the day,
when the temperature may be So or 80
degrees Fahrenheit, the relative humidity
will be as low as fifty-five or sixty per
cent.
From this we learn why the heat is
never oppressive, and why sunstrokes
never occur, and why one does not sweat
away in perspiration and seek the ice.
cooler for comfort.
From the above table it will be seen
that there are only four of the six warmer
months where the average temperature
reaches only 81 degrees Fahrenheit. And
we also learn that the mean temperature
for the six warmer months, for the past
ten years, has been at the average stand
ard Of only 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The
months of May and October are of about
the same temperature, or several degrees
cooler, averaging about 62 degrees
Fahrenheit for the past ten years.
Here, in the six warmer months, we
| find comfort and peace from oppressive
heat in balmy climate. The clesrness
and purity OF the atmosphere is remark
ably refreshing and invigorating. There
are no windy, nor wet, nor damp, nor
foggy days, which gives us every day to
be out in the open air, inhaling pure
aseptic atmosphere. DIR. Bodington, OF
Wsrwickshire, forty years ago, said {:
"To live in, and breathe freely, the open
air, without being deferred by wind or
weather, is one important and essential
| remedy in arresting the progress oil
phthisis."

their way from the mountains to the great

position, can boast of many attractive
drives over good roads to local places o1
Interest, over rounding bluffs and beau
