Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give it a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, 1t is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no Irrigation near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and it is everywhere shut in by lew mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, NAAt 10 OiAO SOLCIbl 1OCuS TUT GES V. Like Tucson, it has it's occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- mia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will fevel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.

 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated; in fact, they fall short of doing justice to this won derful land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal nuts will do we'll. Strawberries, raspberries, black berries, currants gooseberries and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi itropica fruits, almost every fruit, nut plant, grain, grass vegetable which eau be produced in either tropc or temperate zone will thrive ia its rich and fertile soils.

 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic 1 advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley ears, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some- times lecture or 6 circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. a thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta.'' For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route on which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trains:

Forgot His Parcel.

A rather unique instance of absent
mindedness occurred the other evening
on the jefferson avenue car line.
The Car was we'll filled with passen-
gers, and as a stop was made at Mo-
Dougall avenue man stepped off the
back platform, where he had been stand
ing, and the car moved on.
Instantly wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into q howl Of despair as the distance
between him and the trolley car WIDEN
ed. AS he shrieked he also ran and
waved his hands frantically. The con-
ductor, seeing the shadowy form in the
dimness of the night and hearing the
unearthly cries, pulled the bell strap and
thus induced the motorman to halt,
which be did with jerk. The man in
pursuit came within hailing distance
"What dye want2" shouted the
puncher of pasteboard. :
"I-want-the - lady 49, III there,
gasped the man, swinging his hat at
the open car door. The car having come
to a dead standstill, woman arose, de-
liberately walked cut Of the car and
was received by her breathless escort
who had SO nearly left her to her fate
of missing parcels.
Amid much laughter the next man
who left the car in company with q
lady insisted that she walk in front OF
him until safely on tho ground. DE-

Photographic Light,

A remarkable kind of light for photo

Townsend, an English artist, in The
Photographic light Of 400 candle pow
er, he says, for 10 cubic feet of gas
burned per hour and costing only l
farthing-noiseless, powerful, soft and
absolutely steady. The efficiency of this
new burner is due to the fact that the
gas and air are mixed perfectly before
reaching the flame, and consequently
the combustion is perfect, another i'm.
portant point being that the gas and air
travel at the same rate, so that there Is
no noise or Pickering. This desirable
end is attained by causing the air and
gas to pass through spiral tube, or
series of tubes, whence they issue thor.
oughly mixed, but it is essential to sue.
cess that tho tubes be cut to particular
pitch or angle, which the inventor has
determined. AS a protection against any
hazard, the mixing tubes are safeguard.
ed by wire gauze, though even without
this the quantity of air and gas actually
mixed at one time is declared to be too
small to cause an explosion. The air
necessary for combustion is supplied by
a small injector, worked by water pres

one is required, but where only few
lamps are used glass one, such as is
commonly used in chemical laboratories.

of iron or composition piping, as the
case may be, is an additional small

India's Hoard of Specie.

For long period Of years India has
been characterized as a "sinkhole' OF
the precious metals, or, in other words,
there has been for many years a con-
tinuous flow of the precious metals
gold and silver-into India, where they
have to large extent disappeared, un-
doubtedly by burial underground for
the purpose of boarding and conceal
ment. The motive for this under the
mogul and native rulers was unques-
tionably to escape direct plunder or con-
fiscation, but under British rule these
boards, amounting uuquestionably to
many hundreds Of millions, are not tax
ed, mainly by reason of their inacoessi-
bility, and partly by the recognized pol
icy Of the government to avoid direct
taxation of active capital, and encour-
age, by making safe it's employment,
the tendency of these buried treasures
to come to light and enter into the
channels of trade.
That this policy has been wise one
is shown by the fact that within recent
years there has been an increasing dis
position on the part Of the Indian own
ers of concealed treasures, especially
the Indian princes or rajahs. to with.
draw them from their boarding places
and invest them in government bonds
or other desirable, interest bearing Sc
curitics, and in this way very great
addition to the worlds active stock, the
money metals, may I've anticipated in
the perhaps not distant future. -Popu-

hands had been dealt around, and Affoltcr,
noting there were ~ cards, said: "What

1t happened that hearts were trumps,
and an affirmative answer was given. On
the first play froltcr glccfully threw away
a king, followed it the next with another

third trick, and the fourth, and the fifth,
