relatively warmer i'll winter and cooler in
summer than other places having nearly
the same annual temperature Compare
the difference between the coolest month

In Santa Fe the monthly range is 30,S, in
Boston, 451; Albany, 404; Buffalo, AIS;
Detroit, 44,G; Grand Haven, 43.7; North
Platte, 52.3: We find that Santa Fee has the
spring temperature Of northern Illinois and
Indiana, the summer temperature of north
ern Wisconsin and Michigan, the autumn
temperature of Wisconsin and Michigan,

STAYING in Santa Fe, the invalid gets the
favorable summers thata resident OF Spring
field, Illinois, can get only by emigratlng
annually to Lake Superior
