QUICK CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Traveller in Arizona Gets Variation With Comparatively Little
 Phys cal Exertion.

In climbing from the Painted desert, which lies at the foot of San Francisco mountain in Arizona, to the summit of that peak, perhaps 25 miles away, you experience as much change of climate and scenery and pass through as many different zones of life as you would in travelling from southern Sonora to the region of Hudson bay.
 This is due t0 the fact that altitude has the same eject on climate as lati- tude. If you el,I,b 100 feet upward you have achieved the same change of climate as th' Is;h you had gone 2 degrees north. '.he result is that mountain top ia .Ar,zona 12,00O feet high above sea leYel has climate like that at ti3t e..se If the arctic cir cie.

 Leaving this region in the morning. by noon you find yourself on the noun tain slope in an arid region supporting( a low scrubby 'o"nst of juniper and nut pine. Two hours later you have entered an entirely different zone. and are riding through beautiful open forest of yellow pine, with trees hun dred feet high. This gives way to a forest of fir, which is dense and damp, with heavy underbrush along the streams. Here birds and squirrels abound, and you may glimpse deer and bear.
 .s As you continue upward the timber again dwindes In size. You pass through region of scrubhy spruce, such as grows along the Yukon in Alaska, and finally emerge on the tree less crest above timherllne, where the climate Is almost arctic and the snow lies deep in June.
