CLIMATE ol 
the interior, the humidity is usually much less. Here also the average maxi- 
“mum temperatures are not above 96° F., and minimum temperatures of 60° F. 
are not infrequently experienced. Owing to the dryer atmosphere and to 
the altitude, even though it is not great, one is able to work usually with con- 
siderably more energy, and certainly with much greater comfort. However, 
even in the interior, the hours between eleven a.m. and three P.M. when the 
sun is shining, are generally somewhat trying if one is walking. From twelve 
to three p.m. all forms of animal life are seen to seek the shade. The nights, 
however, after ten o’clock, are usually cool enough so that one may sleep com- 
fortably, and in the interior a blanket is sometimes desirable at night.
