DR.. Harrison E Stroud saws of the
Climate of Arlzona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm days in May,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the Their
nIometer ranges high, but with Septem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
! The heat IS peculiar; it Is never close
and oppressive; there is never sense OF
sntiocation. The summers are the most
healthfuI period of the year. The dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
| among children, III most countries during
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been q case of cholera infan-
| tum III the territory, nor has there been
a case OF sunstrokc, except drunkaTds
/ Inebriated al the time. 1t is the common
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle OF May until September, and
many las the writer} sleep out during
! the whole yer. There are not FIVE days
IN the whole year but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out OF doors. Ia this climate in
luries and wounds heal very rapidly;

we did not have brilliant sunshine at

The nights throughout the winter are

and blankets. Halt the t;;ne an over
coat is no, rccded during the day, but it
is never p, udent for stranger to be
without one al hand.
The atmosphere is singularfy clear,
tonic and dry. l have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hllarating qualities as the air OF the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t 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 Haifa, but some
what cooler.
"As to food, thcreis plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets of Los
Angeles. and evcn of Denver, are largely
supplied. Good kcef mutton and poui-
