There is one point about our climate

There is one point about our climate
which the unobservant might not see. 1t
is this: Read carefully the tables of rela-
tive humidity just above. The high fig
ures will all be found of course in the
early morning hours and in the latter
part of the afternoon, increasing as night
comes on. Now if the table of daily
temperature for the same hours OF the
day were given, it would appear that the
high degrees of heat always occur here
1T such hours as are marked by very
low degree of humidity. The humidity
In the table at 7 A. M. ranges at 20 to 50
degrees, but at that hour in our warmest
spells the thermometer will run at 80 to
70 degrees. At 8 P. M. the humidity
ranges along at from 81 to SO degrees, an
hour when the temperature is higher.
The hottest period of the day in this Sec
ton is between 10 and IL o'clock in the
morning; and these hours are the dryest
in the day. This is fact which means
much in any estimate of the agreeable
ness Of the climate.
So accustomed are the people of this
section 10 fine weather that slight de-
gree of discomfort from this source dis

HERALD spoke in its editorial columns
Of that episode:
Old Sol got in his work in fine shape
on us yesterday. The maximum fig
ure ran up to 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current summer will propably
chronicle larger number of hot days
than any other in the past ten years
in this section. But, much as we suf-
fer from such visitation, how blessed
our lot as compared with the un
stricken anu sweltering East! While
for an hour or 80 the mercury
climbs to 80 degrees and even to
o6 degrees, or as yesterday, to the
extreme Of S. degrees, yet during
tho earlier hours of the morn
ing temperature ranges only along in
the sixties. By S O'Clock in the
afternoon it gets back to the same en-
tirely endurable degree; later it falls
to 60 degrees, If not, indeed, to lower

That superb publication, the ILLUS
raArrp HERALD for 1888, gives among
other statistical matter, the complete
records Of the Signal Service office in this
city for ten full years, so far as these re-
late to temperature; clear, fair and
cloudy days; precipitation; duration OF
the rainy season, etc., etc. A resume OF
this cannot fail to prove of prime interest
to readers Of the HERALD in all parts Of
the country. The averages in tempera'
ture for the ten years for each month is
- follows:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

The average Of cloudy days for the 10
years is only 40 per year. The average
number of rainy days in that period is
only Al per year for IL months.
and the record includes, all
days on which one hundredth
part of an inch of rain
fell. Think of it'll In ten years the
mercury reached 80 degrees only 159
times, and fell to 80 degrees on only six
occasions. In the same period the
cloudy days averaged only forty-nine
per annum, and the days when any rain
fell came to only the beggerly account Of
IN average of forty-one per year.
Here is the average total precipitation

In the ten years under review the mer-
curry reached 100 degrees but eleven times,
and of these it passed that point but
seven times.
If the clearness of the atmosphere is
considered it will be found that the rec.
ord of averages for the decade by months
is as follows:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-24

The total average per annum for the
ten years is 1745. Note that the rain all
falls in the months between November
and April inclusive.
Another fine point about our climate is
the dryness of the atmosphere during the
greater portion of the year. During the
warm period of the year the average
humidity is very low. For the past year
bv months the record runs as follows:

The meaning Of the table is that the
H column gives the average highest ther-

Work OF the Presby yterian General As
sembly-Statistical Inforanation.

NEW YORK, May 21st.-The Presbyterian As
sembly continued to receive reports to-day The
facts gathered from these reports are There
are now 1892 Home Missionaries at work. and
the cash receipts for the work during the past
year were SSSS,000, gain of $4,000. The in
crease did not come from the churches but
from the Woman's Missionary Societies. The
Woman's Executive Committee of Home Mis-
sious reported that they raised 1921 900 last year
q gain OF S94 600. 1t is expected the report on
the Confession of Faith will come up to morrow
The Assembly will remain in session the re-
mainder of the week probably.
A discussion arose this morning concerning
the management of the Board OF Missions for
Freedmen. The outcome was the introduction
of a resolution authorizing the investigation of
charges of Encouragement. This went over
without action, time having expired.
When the afternoon session opened Rev. DR..
Hamlin of Washington spoke against and dis
approved of using foreign languages in church
work as much as possible and thought the use
of German should not be continued beyond the
first generation.
Rev. DR.. Ambrose C. Smith of Illinois wanted
| to know how many first generations there were.
You have first generations OF Germans and
other nationalities coming here to-day and this
will probably continue for years to come. We
want to evangelize and Americanize Europeans
arriving in this country. The only means we
have to do this are the two schools sustained by
this assembly, and those who can preach 10
| their countrymen in the German tongue"
DR.. Smith thought If the German theological
| School at Dubuque, of which he is President,
| got an endowment of 100000 it could fulfill its
mission of educating and evangelizing the Ger
man population of the northwest for all time.
| Some speakers referred to the effective work
\ being done by synod of Minnesota among the
| Scandinavians and Bohemians 1t was agreed
to add another Secretary TO the force OF the
| Board OF Home Missions, and it was decided
| that he must be able to preacn.
1 The report of the standing Committee of the
1 Board OF Aid for Colleges was presented by Rev
DR.. Thomas S. Hastings. One-third OF the Pres
| byterian Churches had made donations. DR.
| Hastings said the Board of Aid would require
| 100000 or $4,000 The report recommended
that the Bible be adopted as the only text book
| in any school endowed by the Board of Aid, and
ment of a Presbyterian academy midway be
| tween the common school and the college. The
| report and recommendations were unanimously
/ adop.ed.

weighed 1854 and Soto lis pounds Time was
called at $3.50. Both led off with the right, but
Jones parried, and some pretty sparring fol-
lowed for few seconds, when Soto attempted
to force the lighting, Jones getting decidedly the
best OF it, putting in several hot ones on his op-
ponents chest amid great excitement, when
Jones landed his left on Soto's neck, laying him
out just as time was called.
In the second and third rounds Jones had
much the best of it, and got in some terrific
drives. sending Soto to the ropes several times
although the Mexican did most of his work
At the end OF the third round Jones asked fol

said; Take them both off. l want you to-
From the fourth to the eighth round there was
good fighting. Soto beginning to show signs o.
of the eighth round overworked himself.
The ninth round was a very hot one al

little, and drawing first blood.
In the twelfth round Soto began working
Jones in the stomach and occasionally got in
ugly jabs.
In the next round Jones never struck a blow

President Harrison Does Not Forget His
Oid-Time Friends

WASHINGTON, May 2ist.SThere is some talk
about town that John F. Swiis OF California
may be recalled from the japanese mission and
given place in General Hsrrison'S Cabinet.
The speculation on this point is based on Attor-
ney. General Millers elevation 10 the Supreme
Bench. If this be done Mr. swift may succeed
him. The President is very partial TO Mr. Swift
Their friendship goes back to period covering
quarter of century. Beside, Mr. swift made
an excellent impression upon the Adnainistra-
tlon and tie members OF the Supreme Bench by
the briei prepared by him and lieutenant. Gov
ernor White IL the Chae Chang Ping case, and
this is being advanced as an argument in his
favor. Mr.. swift is scarcely located at his new
post OF duty, but there is no doubt that he
would gladly return to accept place in the
Cabinet, and 1t is not improbable that within
s.he next ninety days II tender of the place may
pc made 10 him. for the impression is very
strong here that Mr.. Miller will not long retain
his present position.
