THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.

A Unique Country Where tho Skies Are
Almost Mover Clouded, While the Air
is Cool and Braciug, Like Perpetual
Spring.
AS an anomalous's outhern resort, by
reason of the fact that there one may
escape summer heat no less than winter
cold, New Mexico is rapidly becoming
famous. Averaging throughout the en-
tire territory $500 feet in altitude above
s%ea-level, and characterized by dry air
which, unlike a humid atmosphere, is
incapable of communicating heat, the
temperature in midsummer remains at a
delightfully."- comfortable degree through
the day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertaken
without fear of distressful consequences.
Sunstroke or prostration are absolutely
unknown there. It is an ideal lande4asa,
summer outing. Its climate is pre-
scribed by reputable physicians as a spe.
clhc for pulmonary complaints, and the
medicinal Hot Springs at Las Vegas are
noted for their curative virtues. The
most sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs,
