In fact, in 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- siye as 30 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact and reports the difference between the apparent aud sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is cool in the summer and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days.

A YOUNG HERO GOES TODEATH
Died Rather Than Leave the
Girl He Tried to Save,
DESPERATE ATTEMPTS AT RESCUE
But They Failed and Both Were
Drowned.


Newburgh, N. Y, Jan. "a. Walter
Watts, aged II years, and Miss Mary
Sinclair. 18 years, of this city, were
drowned last night in the Hudson River
near New Windsor.
With six other young people they had
skated to Cornwall, four miles distant,
and were returning. On the way down
the party crossed crack in the ice a
foot wide without difficulty, the tide
being ebb. When they returned, the
tide in the meantime having changed,
the ice foe was separated from the
main body, leaving wide space OF
open water.
Watts and Miss Sinclair were some
distance ahead of the Others. They saw
the open water, but supposing it to be
t.blacls ice'' they skated into it, and in
moment were struggling for their
lives. ~
The others made desperate efforts TO
save them, by forming a line on the ice
and passing coat to young Watts,
who was holding on to the girl. He
might have saved himself had he re-
leased his hold on her, but he refused
| to do this, and as he became benumbed,
was unable to retain hold of the coat
and both sank.
Watts was student in the academy
and leader In athletics in the Young
Mems Christian Association.
