Arizona Sometimes Has Summel

to He Recorded.

The cottonwoods have shed their
caterpillars, there has been thun-

in price, Indians are selling bows and
arrows, the rose and the oleander have
long been out. oranges are in bloom,
the umbrella tree is putting out its

falfa is almost ready to cut. straw
berries have been shipped, mulberries
are nearly ripe. summer will soon be
here and the Phoenix summer bed
room will soon be necessary, says re-
cent issue of the Phoenix Graphic.
Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the
summer and the bedroom is born out
of that necessity. It is on stills, is
built of wire screen of fine mesh, for
the Phoenix mosquito is microscopic
in size. 1t is furnished according to
the taste of the occupant, with inte-
rior curtains to keep out the morn

the sandstorm.
wire, covered, perhaps, with sheet,
but even sheet feels like a feather
bed on Phoenix summer night. The
bed covering is the roof of the bed
room, and careless folks who consult
their comfort only don't wear night
shirts.
Phoenix is proud of it's climate dur
ing eight months of the year, but it
doesn't talk much in public about its
midsummer. 1t is a right warm day
when the government weather bureau
doesn't know what the sun tempera-
ture is and is unable to determine it,
and that is how hot it gets in Phoe-
nix. l called on Observer Burns one
day last July and asked MIN what the
"otfical" temperature was IN the sun.
He said he did not know, and that
the government couldn't afford to en-
pertinent to that end. He said he had
attempted to catch the sun tempera-
ture during the summer of 1898 and
had broken three-dollar thermom-
eter in the attempt. TO please my GU
riosity he hung thermometer in the
sun, watched it until it registered 1876
degrees and then took it in, fearing
| it would break.
The dryness of the atmosphere re-
lieves this great heat of any terrors
to all living things except women anG
cats There is saying in Phoenix
that women and cats in summer are
nervously Frustrated, while men and
dogs thrive and grow fat. There is
a luxury in quenching ones thirst
during the summer heat that is posi-
BILE nowhere this side of the hereafter
and nothing will quench it so we'll as

a gallon of water per day during the
