THE CLIMATE OF PORTO RICO.

In the heat of summer the tempera-
ture never rises above 50 degrees
Fahrnheit on the sea coast, and the
mig is are usually cool. Whatever
unpleasantness pertains to the eli
mate is the outcome of the excessive
humidity Of the atmosphere during
the rainy season, and the clammy
dampness OF clear, dew-laden nights.
Unquestionably the rainy season is
trial to the constitution, for the wet
air, heated by sudden sunbursts, is
difficult to breathe, and exposure to
the chilly damp Of night is apt to
bring on pernicjous and malaria, fe-
vers. However, with anything like
proper care of the person and a fair
diet Of quinine, the summer season
may be safely tided over. In winter
or rather during the dry season.
Of November, December, January.
and February-the upper limit Of the
mercury is about 80 degrees on the
coast, and ten degrees less in the
mountains, dropping lowest in Janu-
airy. There is greater range in
temperature between day and night
at this season than in summer, the
mercury sometimes falling during
darkness to 65 degrees on the coast,
and ten degrees lower in the highest
attitudes. Sixty-fve degrees means
really cold weather to the Porto
Rican, and the American who has
lived on the island for few months
does not disdain to envelop his linen
clad person in light overcoat. The
between the temperature in
open sunlight and dense shade is so
marked that it is actually dangerous
to seek shelter from the sun, when
Oyerheated, in the shade of tree or
Jungle. Pneumonia is commonly pro-
1uced IN this way, and many of the
complaints arising in the
sland may be traced to injudicious
cooling off beneath outrageous ma
ural arbors. A bit of superstition ex-
SITS in the minds of the untutored ma
ives to the effect that certain large
rees which form bowers of shade ex-
lale poisonous, noxious yapors, and
nat those who unwittingly or foolish
rest beneath them die with frightful
aims in the chest and back, the true
explanation being, of course, that
cute congestion is superinduced.-

few days ago from the woman's class

When she married Mr.. Siegel it was
said that love and literature had at
tanned a climax in her life, because
her first novel, Juleps and Glover.
came from the press just two hours be-
fore the wedding. And now it is a COM
binatiOn of love, literature and law.
Mrs. Siegel is going to open an office,
but she is one of the few women who
realized the value of legal education
and demonstrated her realization by
taking a course in the women's law
class. 1t is though that she may have
a line of literary work in view that
could be aided with a clear idea of
general law. Mrs. Siegel is the daugh-
ter of Judge Vaughan, the veteran Ill
inois jurist, and a cousin of ex-Gov.
Campbell of Ohio. She is also related
to Cardinal Vaughan. She is we'll
known in New York literary circles,
having been a frequent contributor to

Vaughan Wilde. She first met Mr..
Slegel when he was a reporter on the
