 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 registered temperature of f10 degrees is not as oppres- sive es 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized the apparent and sensible temperature to be fuIls 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is 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 are castor bean plants two years or more old,
