south wind from the southwest,
aad they are called the northeast
ald southwest nonsoans. The
northeast monsoons blow during
the winter months, and are accom- .
panied by clear, cold, beautiful
weather. The southwest monsoons
blow during the summer months
and are accompanied by terrific
storms Of wind, rain, thunder and
lightning. Navigators endeavor
to ahun those waters in June and
July. These winds greatly in
crease the range OF atmospheric
tenn perature. The warm winds
from the south making it much
warmer in summer than it other
wise wonld be, while the cold
winds from the north make it cold
er in winter.
The same winds blow on the
American coast OF the Pacific, but
at the opposite periods. The
north wind blows during the sum
mer months and the south wind
during the winter. As the west
coast Of North America trends
from northwest to son theast we
call the winds northwest and south
east. Bat unlike the coast OF Asia,
on this coast these winds reduce
the variation Of the atmospheric
peratnre, for the cold bracin g
air from the north during summer
keeps it cooler and pieasanter than
it otherwise would be, while the
warm moist winds from the south
during winter enables rs to wear
the same amount Of clothing all
the year round, aud makes winter
when it don't rain, the pleasantest
part of the year Tor outdoor work.
1t is we'll known that the purest
air is far out on the ocean or on
the tops OF lofty mountains; all
along the continent of America ex-
lists the Hottest chain Of mountains
in the world, running parallel with
the west coast, and distant about
100 miles.
No maIarial or obnoxious vapors
that may rise Or generate in the
in terror OF the continent can ever
cross these mountains, so that the
inhabitants Of the strip between
the mountains and sea breathe
nothing but air from 5000 miles OF
ocean OF from he lofty region Of
eternal snow. Again, western
Washington is pierced by the
ocean clear to he foot Of the
mountains, forming the finest IL

The Washington cedar shingles
are gaining Roadway rapidly in
Ohio. An agent reports that he
has been selling car load of shing-
les day, and, in the opinion of the
men in the business, the trade is
bnt in the Infancy Of its Develop
mcnt. The shingles are now be-
ing sold low-lowsr perhaps than
the real merit of the article war
rants, and than is justified by tie
actual value of the timber consum-
ed. Some very good Judges the
Washington and Oregon manutac-
tarers are foolish to turn their ce-
dar. into shingles, at the prices
prevailing, when their timber
must be worth more for other pur-
poses. Cedar is not over abundant
in the Pacific northwest. It is al.
ready the most valuable wood in
that section and likely to be
worth more than is now the case
This will mean that some day ce-
dar shingles will not be sold at the
low figure at which they are being
laid down in Ohio, Indiana and RI
llnois, although it is probable that
the favor the shingles are likely tc
lind will establish them so firmly
IN public favor that they will sell
at almost any price which may
be fixed upon then. Indiana anc
OHIO are the field for good shing-
les. The best fnd the readies,
