THE HOTTEST PLACE
ON EARTH

IAS your doctor told you you need
IL warm, dry climate? And would
you like to know the warmest and
driest place on earth? You'd probably
say it was in India or the middle Of
the Sahara desert, the center Of some
tropical jungle or some place in the
tropics. Well, you'd be wrong. The
hottest and driest place on earth, as
proven by ten years of careful OBJ
servation and comparison, is Death
Valley, California.
You might know 1t would be in
California, where all the superlatives
in climate are found. Asssoon as the
Florida boosters hear about this. they
will probably hasten to file evidence
that there's a hotter and drier place
down there. 81. Ga ,5 05
But Death Valley is hot enough for
all reasonable persons. Anyone that
isn't satisfied with Death Valley will
probably have to wait for something
hotter until the future life.
Death Valley is in southeastern
California, near the Nevada line. 1t
is about one hundred miles long and
from two to eight miles wide, long,
narrow, deep valley, between two high
mountain ranges. 1t lies far below
sea level, being from two to three hun
dred feet lower than the ocean. The
floor is an almost perfectly level
stretch of sand.
Pacific
Coast Borax company, widely known
for their "20-mule team bOrax," estab
lished a 65-acre ranch on the east side
of the valley. Water from the warm
springs in Funeral mountains was
piped to the ranch and under irriga-
ton such luxurious crops grown that
the ranch soon became knowp as
Greenland.
A United States weather bureau sta
ton located at Greenland has made
constant observations for over ten
years On July 10, 1913, Death Valley
broke the record with temperature
Of 1874 degrees. This is said to be the
highest air temperature ever recorded.
AS to dryness practically no rain
ever falls In Death Valley. The total
annual precipitation is less than two
inches and the air is so dry and hot
that this small amount is, at once
taken w by the air.
So If you want the hottest and
driest spot on earth, consider Death
Valley There is plenty of land down
there that has not yet been subdl
yided.
