The Climate Of California.

TO QcSCr1Dc the Climate Oh Od1llOIllld.
Probably there is as great a difference
between the climate Of California and
the eastern states along the north At
lantic coast, as described. But the
gentleman has evidently never been in
Florida. Some months ago, Rev. Mr..
White, Of Merritts Island, wrote an
article for the Agriculturist, in which
he showed, from the reports of the
weather bureau, that the climate OF
Florida is not so humid as that OF
California. The article in the Florists
Exchange is interesting on account Of
its showing the great differences IN the
climate Of different parts of the state
which are only few miles apart, and
also for its evidence Of the extremes
which are reached in summer and
again in winter. Therefore we quote
the article entire

real estate men, that people who have
no personal knowledge of it, acquired
by several years residence therein, ar
rive "a wrong conclusions from what
they read and hear in regard to it
because Of the most important facts re-
lative to the climate are never publish
ed.
California is law unto itself, both
from a climatic and agricultural point
Of view. In regard to these two char
acteristics it is impossible for any one
who has not lived in the state for at
least five years to understand wherein
it differs in these respects from the
Atlantic Coast States. The litera
descriptive OF these two elements, is
truthful, yet misleading to those who
have no personal knowledge OF them,
acquired by years OF experience and
observation. Some years before COM
ing to the state | read an illustrated
circular descriptive Of the climate, in
which the statement was made and the
section designated where the mean
temperature for the year was 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit. To a florist and
agriculturist such land looked very at
tractive, but because the whole truth
was not told in that circular [ got er-
roneous impressions about it. There
was nothing said about the high SUM
mer temperature, when for weeks at
a time the thermometer will register
100 to 10 and sometimes reach 1lo
degrees in the shade, while during the
winter months it is not often that the
temperature will fall below p degrees
although it does drop to L. degrees
sometimes. With knowledge Of these
facts, the high mean temperature for
the year is easily understood. Nor
was there anything said about the daily
range OF temperature from 20 70 as
much as 40 degrees.
The most important factor, however,
in climatic conditions as they exist
here was not even alluded to, namely
relative humidity and it's influence on
vegetation. The Southern half of the
state at Least may be divided into two
sections on account OF this enc great

Pacific Coasts Growth.

When the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton at Portland, Ore, was projected,
the intention was 10 signalize by an
exhibition the growth of Oregon in
wealth and resources since the two ex-
plorers sent on the recommendation of
Thomas Jefferson reached the coast.
The changed conditions which have
followed the Spanish-American war
and have marked the Russo-Japanese
war have practically transformed the
Pacific coast states, making in period
of ten years a change almost as sweep
ing as occurred in the same region af-
ter the discovery OF gold half century
ago.
Ten years ago the population of San
Francisco was $4,000; it Is now 450,-
600. Ten years ago the population Of
Portland where the exhibition is being
held, was $4,000; it is now 10000
Ten years ago the population of Sc
attic was $4,000; it is now 10000. Ten
years ago the population of Los An
geles was $4,000; it is now LIS. 900. Ten
years ago the population of Spokane
was $4,000; it is now 10000.
These changes in ten years mark tie
growth Of some of the largest cities OF
the Pacific coast, but in smaller towns
along the coast the gain has been pro-
portionately just as large; in some
cases larger, following the develop
ment of an enlarged American market
in the Orient.
The Lewis and Clark exposition is
the first to be held west of the Rocky
Mountains, and the Oregon country,
the discovery of which the exposition
is intended to commemorate, includes
the present states of Oregon. washing
ton and Idaho. The growth Of the Pa
cific coast cities in population exceeds
the growth Of the cities Of any other
section Of the country during the same
period, and the exposition is expected
to boom them still further.

one who has been reported killed in

others they must be very few; where
as the percentage of casualties among
the general officers of the Confederacy
are far in excess of the percentage of
casualties among the rank aid file Of

Teachers Salaries Are Meaure


Teachers are poorly paid. This is
the conclusion reached by the commit
tee on salaries of the National Educa-
tional Association, appointed two years
ago, at the Boston meeting. This COM
nittee has collected statistics through
out the United States, and it has been
found that the average salary paid to
teachers in elementary schools is less
than that paid to street cleaners. 1t
must be remembered that the average
salary of teachers is low largely be-
cause of the fact that the personnel Of
the teaching force is constantly chang
ing-new teachers with lower salaries
replacing teachers who have been in
the service a number of years.
In comparing the salaries of teache s
and street cleaners, it is noted that the
former are on duty but six hours daily
for SO weeks and the latter 10 hours
daily for so weeks. But the teachers
generally work more than six hours a
day. and must live throughout the ye:.r
on the salary earned during sc weeLs
Of school.
The average salary of teachers in ACT
leading cities in elementary schools is
S1,161 for men and $3.50 for women,
and in high schools 5000 for women
and 81 1903 for men. In New York city
the minimum salary of teachers is $500
and that of street cleaners 1851. Bos-
ton pays teachers 1852, and it's street
cleaners 5000, while Philadelphia pays
it's teachers $470, or SGT less than the
street cleaners Teachers in San Fran
cisco receive $500 year, but the street
cleaners are paid $3.50.
