 sUNsTRoKE IS UNKNowN
 In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however was more the result of whisky than heat. The air Is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. Tho Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day arc castor bean plants two years or more old,

 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is su utiiciently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is not here for his health, it Is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, andthere are numbers of active, industrious citizens with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but q few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than Q health resort.
