Wonderful Dryness of Chmatc.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate Of Tucson than its dryness. 1t
Is racnomnai. There isno such thing as
wha. is called sultry weather as III the
eas. recent visitor to Tucson lokinR-
~ remarked that mot even the rams
seemed damp" II is n faO that the CT
tec, OF heavy shower is observable tor
la. few hours. In this dry climate
surs,rokes are unknown. The dry air
mcuces exceedingly rapid evaporation oi
The abundant perspiration. As mat
Ter u course the supply OF fluid must oe
maintained. hence one drinks great

Good Water at Tucson. n.--Everyone IS

and this Tucson certainly has. More
