SOMEWHERE.

Somewhere the wind is blowing,
thought rs toiled along
In the burning heat OF the noontide,
And the fancy made me strong;
Yea, somewhere the wind Ia blowing,
Though here where gasp and sigh
Not breath OF air Is stirring,
Not a'cloud In the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun Is shining
When Winter nlps the ground.
Somewhere the flowers are springing,
Somewhere the corn Is brown,
And ready unto harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere tho twilight gathers,
And weary men lay by
The burden OF the daytime,
And wrapped In slumber lie.
Somewhere the day Is breaking,
The gloom and darkness fiee;
Though storms our. bark are tossing,
There's somewhere a'placid sea.
And thus, Thought, It's always,
In this mysterious life.
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite OF Its pain and strife;
And somewhere tho sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall ind peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try us
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
q brother, though the darkness
Around thy soul be cast,
The earth IL rolling sunward
And light shall come at last.

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
as a distinctive feature from within the
Arctic CIRCLE to Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
have been a range or q 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 its final great effort of elvation
in Pixies Peak it rapidly loses its massive
character and with astonishing rapidlty
sinks to rolling hills 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 i'll
oluded within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour ia rugged mountains of PERCEPTIONS
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 g flight OF
steps; New Mexico is almost entirely ol
the leeward side of the mountain range,
orl ---ar r. ~stor,-, ~ l1-Q
to the wind. Hence arise different eli.
matio conditions.
The elevation of the barometer ~cistern
of the weather bureau station at Santa
Fe is 6,998 above mean tide of the Gulf OF
Mexico, and the barometer is 81 feet above
the base of the monument in the main
plaza, so that the altitude of Santa Fe is
approximately 6,967 feet above sea level.
A resume of the records for % years
shows that great extremes in temperature
are seldom reached, the lowest recorded
temperature being 10 degrees below zero
In January, 1888, and the highest IS il
July, 1873, IN Santa Fe.
During the present decade the highest
absolute temperature has not exceeded
80 degrees, and in a comparison of these
temperatures with extremes of the mole
humid sections of the eastern states and
the Mississippi valley the extreme dry
ness of the air must be considered; that
the heat experienced by the human body
is some 10 to Is degrees less than that
shown by the metallic thermometer, a
Temperature of 80 degrees in the shade at
Santa Fe being about equal to 70 degrees
in st. Louis.
The following table taken from the
reports Of the climate and crop service
of the bureau will give a general idea Of
the relative intensity of heat as indicated
by the metallic Thermometer.
