opportunities in the observation and

when the weather made actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the

Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter art
apt to be cool enough for wood rircs
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but il
is never prudent for stranger to bt
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear

clearer anv where in the world. IL seem:
to have about the same bracing and CT
hilarating qualities as the air OF th'
great Sahara in northern Africa or o
the desert about Mount Sinai. in Arabic
Patraea II is much drier than any par
OF the valley OF the Nile north of Catar
act. 1t seems TO me about the same II
quality as the air on the Nile betweeI
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
"As to food, there is plenty, and IT II
good. From here the markets OF Lo!
Angeles, and even OF b, utci are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul

and venison from the vicinity can alst
