CLIMATE AND CHARACTER.
National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
 ture of the Weather.

National Traits Often Nodded Dy the Na-
 ture of the Weather.
 The civil war is said to have been caused by difference in climate, and the question is now being discussed whether a hot or cold climate has the greatest effect on national character. It has been widely believed that a se- were climate produces the greatest eff feet, because it compels effort and self denial, and thus promotes energy and inventiveness, says the New York Jour nal.
 It would also seem that the influence of climate upon the national character has been greatly exaggerated. As syria, Babylon Egypt and Carthage, situated in hot attitudes, were among the most masterful nations of antiq- uity. Mohammed and his coEqTering legions issued from the burning wilder ness of Arabia, and at a later period his successors were able to beat back the repeated attacks of the combined cru sading nations from the north.
 The greatness of nation depends mainly upon intellectual and moral qualities, and these have often been conspicuously developed among the in habitants of hot climates. Tt is i'm portant, too, to remember that the same nation, occupying the same re- zion, may be great and powerful in one age and weak and contemptible in an other. The difference between the an cient Greeks, Romans and Saracens, on the one hand, and their modern de- scendants on the other, cannot have been due to climate.

They Live and Breed in a Spring Whose
 Temperature Is 226 Degrees.
 That portion of southern or lower California called HelPs Half-Acre ap- pears to be situated directly over a substratum of fire, which causes the mud and water to boil as if in a caldron, says the St. Louis Republic. At one place on the Half-Acre there are over 100 boiling springs and hot mud geysers on plat of ground that is not of great CT extent than common city square. The chief spring in this queer aggre- gation of boiling and spouting jets of mud and water is called the fountain of the Bo,led Turtles on account of it's curious habit of occasionally ejecting numbers of small red turtles. The temperature of this spring is 226 de- grees, IA degrees higher than the tenn perature required to boil water un- der os3in, ~} atmospheric pressure Notwithstanding the fact that the tenn perature is sufficient to boil meat per fectly within few minutes, the small red turtles spoken of live and breed there just as the ordinary variety does in waters of common lakes, rivers and other streams. The spring is called the fountain of Boiled Turtles because the queer, hard-shelled creatures of being cooked perfectly done.

 To the People of Arizona, Greeting:
 As a people we should be devoutly thankful for the blessings and benefac- tions that have been vouchsafed to us during the current year. States, like persons, have their epochs of activity and depression; after hours of suffer- ing there usually come periods of con- parative ease. We should not be un- mindful of the gratitude we owe AL mighty God for His divine favor, and should rejoice over the events of the past year which promise so much for the future of our territory and Ma tion. Arizona has been favored with plentiful rains and bountiful harvests which insure good returns to the hus- bandman and renewal of industrial activity. We have been in the full en- joyment of civil and religious liberty, and our advancement in the arts and sciences, and the development of intel lectual and moral power has made con- tinued progress.
 In accordance with the time-honored custom, and in compliance with the proclamation of the president of the United States, I, Benjamin J. Franklin, governor of the territory of Arizona, by virtue of the power conferred upon me by law, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of November, to be kept and observed by the people of Ar
  praise; and I do hereby recommend that on that day the people abstain so far as possible from their ordinary pursuits and occupations, and assem- ble in their usual places of worship to offer thanks to God in spirit and in truth.
 It is day especially appropriate fol the works of charity and mercy. Re membering that all our doings without charity are nothing worth, we trust this very bond of peace and all virtues will be exemplified in the observance of the day. That those who have beer blessed with prosperity and plenty should remember with sympathy tht unfortunate and needy, and by gen erous contributions from their bount! to the poor, enable all to share in thu general thanksgiving.
 In witness whereof I have hereuntt set my hand and caused | (seaD the great Seal of the Ter
 ritory to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, thi 18th day of November, A. D., 1896.
 By the governor,
 BENJAMIN J. FRANKLIN, F. B. DEVEREUX.
 V Asst. Secretary of the Territory.
