Summer and winter are almost identical, snow never falls and even a plight froet is rare. Fully three hundredgdays in the year aneAteteiGnT suetannen, though antimes the thermometer rises much higher than in Torento, being tempered with the salt -laden Pacific breeze, the atmosphere is rendered cool and -balmy, is a panadise for invalids, more especialle those withbrenchial and e.stlimatie affections.• The water is absolutely pure, being pipecl from the mountaine. Leaving Ontario, on the Southern Pacific Railway, on the 16th of April, we passed through the San Gabriel Valley to Los Ange- los, where we were kept quite busy shaking hands with old Torontonians, meny being lamented ones, perticulerly prominent offi.- dale of the defunct Central Bank, by -gone cashiers, ticket agents., eto. , On the morn. ing of the 18th ,we lab e the Seuthern Powific Railway for Oakland and San Fran- cisco. The 'first -attraction of note met ivith is the San Feraando tunnel above the town of San Fernando. It is over one and a half I miles long, the grade being onmhundreti and twenty feet to the mile and out through an •immense rocky hill. Most of ehe afternoon is consumed in crossing the Mojave desert, the only thing to break the monotony being the giant cactus of the Mojave. They are situated about forty feet apart, and from twenty to sixty feet high ALMOST COVERING THE DESERT land. The fibre of this species rf cactus is utilized in paper manufacture. The London Telegraph was for mite time printed on paper made from it. An English company is now preparing to pushthe enterprise on a large sone. Arrived at Mojave for supper. Mojave is the junction of the two great overland rail- ways, the Southern Pacific and Sante. Fe. Here extra motive power is brought into requisition to asoend the Techaipi mountains. Arrived at the summit at sun down and went through the Techaipi Pam by moon- light: This is considered the most danger- ous place on the line. The road bed is made on the sides of the mountains and on the uerge of deeparteggeci cafiyons, thousands of feet deep. ,5'In order to get oat of these mountains to the valley beneath, it was found neceisary to get down into a very 'deep canyon. How to do this the engineer who surveyed the road could not tell but hia on, a mere boy, at last solved' the ques- tion, and by a series of deep fillingto the mountains oh the ogiosite side are gamed, and by etenth circling around, the bottom of the canyOn is finally reached ; then the road goes through a tunnel underneath the exact spot which some time before we had crossed over, thus forming a perfect loop. In this •pass a large twelve -wheel engine, called " The Hog," said to be the heaviest in the • word, is used to assist freight trains up the • Ohethe morning of the 19th we found • ourselves . in the San Joaquin valley at Tresno City, and quite close to the world-renowned Yosemite Valley. San Joaquin Valley is about sixty miles wide, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is perfectly level and onwof the greatest grain and grape - producing countries in the world. Thence, following the Sacramento. we arrived at Oakland at 3 o'clock, where passengers are ,ferried across San Francisco Bay to the city. These ferries are FLOATING PALACES, lighted with electricity and with all modern improvements. Oakland ist a most beautiful city, graced with elegant residences, occupied principally by wealthy San Francisco merchants. A visitor cannot help admiring the fine lawns with roses in profusion, many buElltes being fully ten feet high with an equal diameter. Oakland has a free street car service. On two of ehe main streets the cars run at in- tervals of half an hour, regular orthodox steam cars, such as are used on our best • . railroads. Each train consists of an engine, baggage car and seven first clio.sa coaches. The lines extend about seven miles each. This city has also an excellent system of cable and horse cars. • San Francisco, on the opposite side Of the Bay, is not the low, degraded place that many picture it to be, but on the contrary a beautiful city built upon hills, with ele- gant stone buildings, ten and twelve storeys , high, well paved streets and with an ex- cellent system of cable, steam and horse cars, has hotel accommodation second to no city on the contin' ent. The " Palace " and " Baldwin " are the best hotels there. On the 21st we took in Woodward's Zoological and Botanical Gardens. They are tastefully laed out with shrubbery, . flowers and trees and on the premises are almost , EVERY KNOWN VARIETY of animal, fish and fowl. Every afternoon and evening concerts and theatrical perform- ances are given in the immense pavilion on the grounds. The following day we jour- neyed to Golden Gate Park, "The Pride of San Francisco," sittated at the terminus of Haight street cable line. lt extends over limn dreda of twee of grouhd encleclipses,anything in America in the beauty of its well -kept drives and grounds and in the abundance of its tree?' al mid other plants. The roads are hardin int and smooth as a floor. On So. • turdadJni Sundays excellent music is provided by the city. We then took the deem cars of the Park and Ocean CoMpany feoin Park Entrance to Cliff House and Seal Rooks at Golden Gate, passing in the jour- ney through immense eancl hills, resembling huge fluted iron dome roofs, painted grey. To reach Cliff House, one has to go by foot up a steep, winding road. bliff House, high up, overlooking the rolling ocean; below, short distance from shore, etc the Seal • Rocks, immenee rooky mouride, towering high out of the water and literally •eoveann WITH SEA LIONS, some fully ten feet in length, basking in the sun and barkilig like doge. The ordinance • of San Francisco prohibit; tholesting or sheeting these seals, hence their great num - bore. On the morning of 24th, While °roes - 'Ingle San Francisco we pawed olose to the German Mau of \Vex Zilventin /trews, makieg ready for sea, The milers were Blueing mertily, evidently rej eking that they were soon to be bounding over the billows. We also sew the U. S. Frigate Thetis,the veesel which was presented by the British Government to assist in the search for the Franklin expedition. Wo were then shown through the San From. ciseo Mint, n most interestiug place ineeed., Promipein among the many new (mine was o jewieh theltel, coined 200 /3. C. We saw U. S, gold coin manufactured, beginning with the impure nugget, In the crucibles, moulded into bars and bricks, alloyed, roll- ed into strips, polished coin stamped out, and etaingaed. They were minting at •the • time $5 pieces, end it lay around literally in leuthele, the output being at the rate of $4- 000 per hour. This mint is the largest in the world and has a capacity of $500,000.00 gold coin each working day of eight hours. Qu leaviag the mint we honored China- town with a brief stay. The principal abode of the duelcy heathen is in the vicinity of Upper Dupont Street. There they az e found in vast numbers Timing their different callinginlife, having their oen butchers, dey-goods Men, grocers, shoemakers etc. We left San Francisco by a Burlington Route Excursion, consisting of a special train of thirteen sleepers, having on board nearly four hundred pessengere, over the Central Pacific R, R. Arrive 1 at Saoramen' 0 River at six o'clock and , FERRIED ACROSS to Port Costra on the " Selano." Thie boat carries four lull passenger trains at once. •We made Sacramento, the State capital, at nine o'clock. During the night ascended the Sierra Nevada mountains, At 4.30 a. m. we were at the sum- mib, 7,300 feet above the sea, having wend. ed to that altitude in twelve hours. Here we Saw the first SnOW we had seen for two years. We passed through the torty miles of snow sheds peculiar to this line. They are built of very heavy timbers, rather pec. turesque to the eye, but decidedly unpleas- ant to go through. In the Sierras, even at this high altitude, are numerous lakes and canyons. At Truckee the train held up for breakfast, affording a chance to get out and inhale the cool,. dry, invigorating atmo- sphere of the "Sierras.' Starting again we passed the Cherokee Indian, Reserva- tion and • the alkalia fields of Ne- vada, to Terrace. At this station there is quite a menagerie, amongst the ani- mals being two splendid specimens of elk, English -pheasants, mountain quail etc. Here we emerged from Nevada into Utah Territory and caught A FIRST GLIMPSE of Great Salt Leke, which is one hundred miles long and forty wide. The water con- tains 16 per cent. of salt, and 18 80 buoyant that a new beginner in the are of swimming can bath without going under. Arrived at 0g,deinthe terminus of the CentralPacific R. R. afT0 30 'a.m. and after transferring to the )arrow Gauge of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, proceeded towards Salt Lake City.. On one side of the track lie the listless waterscf Salt Lake, on the other the Wasatch 1VIountains, to veering high in forest grown masses. Arrived at Salt Lake City, and after partaking of a luach we proceeded to the Mormon Tabernacle. It being Sun- day, services were in full swine, and there were fully 9000 people in the taliernaole, with many going and miming. The build. ing is a large semi -circular stone, 150 feet wide and 90 high, with a seating capacity of 10,000, and boasts of the largest and finest church organ in America. Sacrament was being passed around during service, and on a long table in front of the pipit were about three dozen large, silver pitchers and goblets of elegant design, whioh PASSING AROUND REFRESHING WINE, The Mormon temple, adjoining the Tabernacle, was started in 1852, the corner stone laid, April 6th, 1353, and the total sum expended in buildiug to date is over $4,000,000. It is 200 ft. long, 100 ft. wide and the walls 100 ft. high with a tower 200 ft. high. It is built entirely of granite, part of which was hauled 22 miles by mules, one stone at a time. They alsohave an assembly hall which is a fine building, occupying a whole block. Of late the Mormons . are meetingwith much peisecutionnso much so that their templeis dedioatedto the Masonic fraternity.AnotherMormoninetitutionisZ ton Co operative Society which dews an annual business of $4,000,000. The city is beEtu- Wally situated in a recess in the mountains, with rich agricultural country surrounding. All the streets have spring water flowing on either side to cleanse the streets and purify the atmosphere. We left Salt lake City May 1st, our party occupying two trains of nine cars each, passing through the Joran and Utah Valleys where are ,the immense smelters con- tinuallyat work reducing the ores mined in the vicinity of Salt lake. Onwards, crossing and re -crossing a beau- tiful stream of mountain water, • through Spanish Fork Canyon with high, .... TOWERING ROCKY CLIFFS on either side, the road wends to thewum- mit of the Wasatch Range, and at Soldier Divide the descent westward is begun and Castle Gate soon reached through Pxice River Canyon, Castle Gate consiets of two huge pillars of rock towering perpendicular- ly over five hundred feet, richly dyed with re& tall firs growing beneath at the base. Both.river and railway pass through a nar- row gorge. Between the Green and Grand river, up. warde of one hundred nano, the country re- eemlnes a billowy desert, with high Sea • walls. Indeed from fossils found in the vicinity, it is believed that in ages long past it was actually an inland sea. In the dis- tance are the enowymapped San Rafael mountains; beyond ,Grand Junction the Gunnison Canyon it; entered and passing through its romantic and varied scenery, we reach the Ute Indian reservation in the valley. At Montrose the Bleck Canyon of the Gunnison is entered and an the passen- gers arose at 3 30 a. m. to, take in the dark and gloomy though impressive scenery. At times the Canyon leeeornes very narrow and dark the rocks Omelet meeting at the top, immense crags tower heanenward two or three thousand feet, the highest ancl most abrupt being Currocanti Needle, which puts one in mind of an Egyptian obelisk. The quiet and peaceful Gunnison Valley is at least reaohed and we are relieved of the excitement created in passing the more rueged scenery. Bite not for long.

Leaving Idarshell Pass, the valley of the Arkansas is repelled by the sarne snake -like circling around as the eurninit was reached, o Seliday, which is the junction of the Leadville and Denver lines. Beyond Saliday we soon entered the Ar- kansas Valley and following the River entered the Grand Canyon of the Arkansae, the magnificence of which no writer's pen or artist's brush can convey. Or; either side huge, dark -hued graeite cliff' extend thou- sands of feet perpendicularly upwards. Sod- denly the canyon narrows, the train slow up and Royal Gorge is sighted, Here the oanyon is so narrow* that road and liver could not get through, so huge Va' ape I. girders are braced to the aides and fron the a hangs a tubular bridge over which t' e tre meths, and the rushing Arkam rs rser • flows beneath, No trees, foliage, or birds are fouud in this fissure of the rook, nor mankind, • EXCEPT THE Tneme-weenens, who continually, night and day, are on the alert for falling rocks, and the safety of the thousands who wfoekly travel thip way. The road bed is blasted out of the, solid rock the whole distance through the canyon and built up on the verge of the river. At times the overhanging rooks almost hide the train from view. Emerging from Grand Canyon, Pueblo is soon reached, where the road turns northward to Denver; thence via the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Grand Trunk railways Toronto is reached on the morning of May 5th. • HOW the Egyptians Cool Water - I need state only three facts to show the rapidity of eyaperation in Upper Egypt. Water too warm to drink is leut into a por- ous jar and plaoed in the wind, though- in the sun ; in. a half hour it le as cool as good spring water. At night, exposed to a breeze, even when the breeze is rather warm, before Morning it becomes almest ice -coli. The night of my arrival here I took a pouring bath on a balcony. The wind was balmy, but fresh. The rapid enaporation so chilled ine that I could not stay out long enough for my bath. At the foot of the cataract we took a swim in the Nile. • We wore our un- derclothes for bathing suits. We hung them up before our atate-rooms to dry. In ten minutes they were dry enough to be worn. We have all heard ot the universal habit of all Africans to anoint theniselves with oil, and travellers speak of it as a nas- ty habit. It is, however, necessary in very hot and very dry climates to prevent the cracking of the akin. .An English officer told me that during the hot winds on the Upper Nile his hands and face chapped worse than they ever did in a cold climate— chapped even to bleeding badly. I have found fresh, while butter quite as pleasant on my hands as on my toast. The boys have felt no inconvenience from the winds. My hands are very sensitive to the effect of a dry, dusty atmosphere. At Assouan we were in the sun during two days. We did not use our umbrellas, our pith hats being quite comfortable, ane yet we were just on the edge of the tropics, ---••– Particular About the Make. " One o' ney hired men has got a notion he wants a fiddle;" said an agriculturist to the dealer. " What might that second-hand one in the winder be 'synth?"
