many days which a weather observer

Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
THE nights throughout the winter ar
apt to be cool enough for wood fres
and blankets. Half the time an ovei
coat is not needed during the day. but
is never prudent for a stranger to b
without one at hand.

of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar

quality as the air on the Nile betwee1
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some

AS to food, there is plenty. and IT
good. From here the markets OF Lo

supulied. Good beef, mutton and poul

and yenison from the vicinity can ais
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund

season is a long one. 1t is the one cour
