THE FAT And LEAN.
Arizona Entering Upon a Wet
Cycle.
An Interesting Meteorological Cir
cumstance Discovered in the
Records of franciscans.

A meteorological circumstance affect
ing this territory, never before appearing
in print has been gathered from Mr..
Thos. II. Cords of Tucson who is now
in the city. Mr.. Cords has gathered
from old records of the Franciscan
padres that Arizona is subject to cycles
of drouth and rain each covering a
period of twenty eight years.
He has resided in the territory since
1866. In 1865 he remem bers that there
was generally sufficient rain in the ter
ritorv to produce vegetation and crops
without irrigation. The following year
the rain was less abundant but suffi-
cient. The next year the dry" cycle
commenced and according to his theory
ended with last year, so that the terri
tory is now entering upon the wet cycle
and until the year 1923 Arizonians need
not depend upon canal companies.
As has been before remarked Mr..
Cords does not depend upon his obser-
vations during a single dry" cycle and
the ending OF "wet" period but upon
the records of the order of Franclscans
who came into this country with
Coronado in the year 1910. These
records apply to the v hole of that ter
ritory now embraced in southern Cali
fornia, all of Arizona and New Mexico
as far east as the Rio Grande.
The cycles have been almost invari-
able during the three and half centu-
ries since the record began to be kept.
Many old settlers in this valley
corroborate Mr.. Cords story con-
corning the meteorological conditions
here in 1866 81 and remember distinctly
that vegetation was then luxuriant
without irrigation and that there was
then no desert. They do not of course
know anything about the preceding
years of the ''cycle" for no white man
lived in the valley before 1866. The
whole of Arizona before that year was
literally terra incognita.
Another thing in support OF Mr..
Cords ''cycle" theory, though it is
hardly just to him to speak of it as his
theory is the testimony of the
geographers who wrote text books be-
tween the years 1920 and 1875. 1t will,
OF course, be understood that until
within com paratively recent years
geogra phical information was obtained
only from private sources and was con-
sequently much less reliable than
at present. Between the years
above mentioned the great American
desert Was a region of which
little was known and whose
boundaries were variously defined
1t was in fact denied that there was 6
Great American desert 1t is safe te
presume in view of the information
furnished by Mr.. Cords that there was
none, say between 1888 and 1866, though
between 1910 and 1888 the same condi
tions prevailed in the great inter-mount
ain region that have existed during
the past twenty-five years. Twenty
eight years of seasonable rain would
certainly make Arizona paradise
twenty eight years of drouth, or TWEEN
ty-eight years of prolonged drouth with
an intermittent wet season would con
vert any country on the globe into G
desert uninha bitable without the aid o.

gambling and dissipation was at its
height. He kept them up until ruin
stared him in the face. Resolution
after resolution to change was broken.
The hated vice had him with an iron
grip. "God knows" he said, Il tried
hard to escape them, but like the siren
in ancient mythology did these habits
draw on and devour me, until l hit
upon this unnatural, barbarous and
monstrous idea some time ago. Since
that time all desire for the fascinating
but cruel siren seems to have left me.
Perhaps this grewsome sight, which |
often come and look at, has caused the
change. But should my passion again
return for the old life, and l break this,
nv last resolve, shall come this old
forsaken well, climb down to where
that coffin is embedded, get into it, and
take sufficient amount of chloroform
to produce an everlasting sleep, wrap
the drapery of my overcoat around rue
for Stroud, and declare myself master
at last"
The seriousness with which this man
spoke would leave no doubt as to his
present intention, should the occasion
demand it. He is a man of intelligence,
and is strongly averse to wrong-doing
in other channels, but rather than fall
back into his former rough and rugged
path, and continue there, he will COM
nit suicide, as above stated and hide
himself forever.

RUSSIAN MENDICANTS.

Swarms of Vagabonds Overrunning the
Larger Cities of the Empire.
On an average about two hundred
and fifty mendicants Of both sexes are
every week arrested in the streets of
St. Petersburg while in Moscow, Odes-
sa, Warsaw and other populous cen
tiers the numbers taken by the police
are proportionately large. One reason
for the existence of so numerous a
swarm of mendicants is the granting
of passports to all persons who
have suffered terms of imprison-
ment. no matter how short those pc
RODS may have been or for what trivial
offenses they may have been commit
ted.
The universal passport system which
obtains in Russia makes these indorse-
ments more prohibitory for the holders
than actual police surveillance or than
the tIcl1et-of-leave system in England.
The passport must always be produced,
and in the case of domestic servants,
male and female, laborers, ETC., the
passports remain in the employers
keeping so long as the servants are re-
tanned. The raided mendicants are re-
turned to their birthplaces or recon-
nitted. Numbers of them are time
after time expelled their native COM
munes, return to the large towns, and
are again committed to prison, in
which they spend the greater part of
their lives
