ona in winter the xas but one day
when the weather made i, 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 weather observer
would describe as cloudy and some
that we've 'showery;;' but during the FIVE
months from November. 1895 to May,
1S96) there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood rres
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and cx
hilarating 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 III
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 D,nSe are largely
supplied. Good beet. mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also
| be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund
ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is a long one. II is the one coun
