The thermal conditions, especially in
summer, are not what might be expected
at this latitude, owing to the environment.
The average temperature during the
summer months is about 67 degrees,

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
as distinctive feature from within the
Arctic circle to Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
nave been range or broad series of
parallel ranges exhibiting lofty peaks
and passes at attitudes 80 great as to lie
further skyward than many Wanted al
pine submits. But when the chain has
reached it's final great effort of elvation
in Pixies Peak 1t rapidly loses its m assiye
character and with astonishing rapidity
sinks to rolling Ellis and spreads out on
mesas of altitude still great but of even
and gentle slope.
Viewed by the aid of its contours of
altitude New Mexico appears as a plain
raised to the height of 5000 feet, broken
but by two systems of greater elevations
and interrupted by Lesser ones only on
the eastern and southern faces. Nearly
three.fourths of the territory is in
cluded within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour is rugged mountains of precipitous
slope and deeply scored face. Their eli
matic purpose is to extract the rain from
the atmosphere for the benefit of the
lower levels; they do more than this, for
the rain carries away the desintegrating
rock to enrich the plateau and the valley
beneath. Arizona faces the prevailing
humid wind and opposes to it flight OF
steps; New Mexico is almost entirely on
the leeward side of the mountain ranges
and exposes a minimum of bluff surface
to the wind. Hence arise different oil
matte conditions.
The elevation of the barometer cistern
of the weather bureau station at Santa
Fe Is 6,99S above mean tide of the Gulf OF
Mexico, and the barometer is 81 feet above

FOUND In THE ICE.

On the 7th day of October, 1869, the shi1
| Princess left Australia for London with {
cdlgo Of wool and other articles valued al
$3.50, 900. She had in her treasure room
gold in dust, bars and coin aggregatine
81, 300 900. AS she was one of the largest
ard finest of the Australian liners, she
was crowded with passengers, the list
counting up over 200. Six days after sail
ing the Princess was spoken by IA craft
bound to the east, but that was the last
heard of her for many long years. When
sho did not reach the caps of Good Hope,
vessels were sent out to search for her, but
though this search continued for year
and hundreds of other craft kept watch as
they voyaged to and fro, not the slightest
truce of the lost ship was discovered.
1t was finally concluded that she had
struck a floating wreck in midocean and
gone down SO suddenly that no one could
escape. Had she sprung leak or caught
fire a part of her people must have got
away in the boats, and it could be figured
on that at least one would have reached
some island Or been picked up. Aside from
the money loss there were many promi-
nent people among tho passengers and
there was mourning in England and Aus
tralia for manya month after the ship was
posted as lost.
Tn June, 1868, 16 years after the loss of
the Princess was one of the crew of the
Boston whaler Talisman, which was try
ing the cruising ground to tho south Of
Cape Horn. We had had fair run of
luck, when we got gale from the north

without break. This drove us away
south among the ice, and on dozen diff
ferent occasions the ship was within q
hairs breadth of being cast away or over
whelmed. After the fourth day Of the
gale there was Il calm lasting 30 hours.
During this interval the Talisman lay be-
tween two monster icebergs, with her
boats down and ready to tow her out of
the way should they close in on her. Then
we got a strong breeze from the east, which
lasted for day and went clear around the
compass to the west.
Sometimes we lay moored to berg for
several hours; again we were pounding
among the great cakes of ice, which
threatened every moment to crush in her
sides. We had been driving to the south
east for three days, when the breeze fell
and left us OH heaving sea, with mon
ster iceberg about two miles away to the
south.
The ship had thus far sustained little
damage, but the crew were exhausted with
the hard work and constant vigilance.
The men were given an all days rest and
no incident occurred until late in the after
noon This mass of ice had a front a mile
long on our side, with an average height
Of 800 feet. What its width was we could
not saw Over IT was floating a ouantity
Of smoke. The smoke did not rise from
its crest, but from the far side. No one
doubted that ii came from n fire lighted

.Innnn WANTS sound Money.

Our dispatches yesterday announced that
the japanese government has decided TO
adopt the gold standard. There will be
free coinage of both gold and silver, but
the coinage will be at the ratio of 30 1-3
to THAT is, silver will be coined at it's
commercial value, 80 1-3 ounces of silver
being equal in value to l ounce of gold
In this country the silverites insist upon
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 to /.
All during the last campaign we were
told that Japan was wonderfully prosper
Gus, and the silverites insisted that the
reason was that Japan had the silver
standard. How do they explain NE action
Of the Japanese government? If free sill
yer coinage and a purely silver currency
are such good things why is it that Japan
has decided to have the gold standard?
The organs of the silverites ought to
take this matter up and explain it. There
is certainly need Of explanation. The
japanese are a very well informed peo-
pie. They understand their own interests
about as wen as it is possible to ulder-
stand ITEM. They would not make
change in their currency system if it were
giving satisfaction-if it were making
them prosperous They would stick to
the silver standard. (
Clearly the silver STANDARDIZED silver
coinage al the ratio of 16 to lis not CIV
ing satisfaction. And it is certain that
it wouldn't give satisfaction in this coun-
try 1t is about as certain that it will
not be given a trial as long as the market
value of silver is as low as it is now.
When 16 ounces Of silver are worth
ounce of gold in the markets of the world,
we shall probably have free silver coin
age at the ratio Of 16 to /, and not be-
fore MIR. Bryan, in his lectures on mon
ey, ought to try to explain why it is that
the Japanese government has decided to
adopt the gold standard.

She tripped lightly down the aisle, and
an usher gave her a seat in the first
row, says the Detroit Free Press. To be
sure, her hair looked as if peroxide had
lent helping hand in giving it color, but
from under the huge hat appeared a
pretty face. Now, a pretty face covers a
multitude of sins, and the chappie who
was seated directly behind her tried his
best to let her know he was there.
Her appalling hat was adorned with
plumes, and people behind her wondered
if she would take it off. Chappie was
sure of it.
There's a girl who is up-to-date," said
he; ''she reads the papers, and III bet
she takes it off when the curtain goes
up"
II hope she does" replied the man next
to him, "for if she leaves IL on I'm afraid
l shall not see much, and L am sure you
won't because you are directly behind
her.

ingly "'n4
The maiden heard part of the conversa-
ton and smiled under the hat

overture, but she still kept the hat on.
The bell rang, the curtain rose, and she
sat there wholly unconcerned.
Chappie's expressions of admiration
changed to remarks of disgust, but the
damsel noticed him not.
The play was we'll under way, and
Chappie was about to utter a good, round
protest, when his revenge came in a diff
ferent way.
The two comedians came down to the
footlights and sang topical song. They
sang of various things of interest and
gradually drifted around to the theater
hat. Right in the midst of the song they
stopped and looked down at the pretty
blonde in the first row. The audience be-
gan to litter and Chappie laughed aloud.
The damsel hesitated a moment, then
raised her hands to her head, pulled out
two long hat pins and lifted off her hat.
The house roared and Chappie yelled
"Good!' at the top of his voice. The
comedians finished their song and then
the pretty blonde got up and went out.
AS she passed Chappie she smiled at him.
but he had hardened his heart against
her and took no notice of her.
That's a good thing" said young man
to Chappie as they stroled out.
Whats a good thing?"
THAT big hat" explained the young
man. 1T goes with the show"
Chappie smiled a sickly smile, but KEEP,
his peace.

from Nice in which an unnamed Ameri-
can from Chicago Is involved, says the
New York SUMS London cable. He was
playing baccarat at the Intolerance club
when a dispute arose. A French count,
who was one of the players, remarked:
''Stupid Americans who do not understand
the game should not be allowed to play"
The Chicagoan retorted in strong, sarcas-
tic language, which forced the commit
tee of the club to demand an apology. The
American replied that he was willing to
apologize to the club, but not to the count
The Frenchman, of course, sent a chal-
lenge The seconds met and decided that
the American owed an apology. He again
refused and decided to act without sec
onds, and sent this interesting note to
the counts seconds:
IT. - of Chicago, do absolutely and
fatty refuse to apologize to Count -,
and furthermore l am willing to give him
satisfaction. propose, as my seconds will
not act, to fight him without seconds on
my side in a duel to the death; l to be
allowed the use of a six-chamber, fully
a weapon of any make he may like, the
distance to be not more than ten PAGES.
am also willing to make a side bet of 400
francs the survivor TO take the lot to
cover expenses. What has been said can
only be washed out in blood. / trust you
will see your way TO dispense with some
of the formalities that usually make duels
more of a farce than a reality"
The reply from the seconds Of the count
was a polite refusal of the terms, and
Nice Is now awaiting developments.
