when the weather made il actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. OF course there were a good
many days which a weat her observer
would describe as cloudy, an some
that were showery;;' but during the five
months (trom November 1895 to May.
1866 there were only four DAYS when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more

The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but il
IS never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
clearer any where in the world II seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara IN northern Africa or oi
the desert about Mount Sinai in Arabia
Patraea. II is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north OF Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
"As to food, there is plenty. and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles. and even of Dt ntci are largely
supplied. Good beet, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and yerison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund.

The man who goes 10 any consider

Of liquor shops. too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find community OF ten thou-

only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him. "
DR.. A. ". 0lcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
by pure, dry, invigorating
air: small amount of rainfall, and an
ever shining sun. Ii is surrounded by
which cut off the chilling
winds OF winter. and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
