THE SEASONS AND CLIMATE?THE NOCTURNAL HEAVENS. Coming from a land of civilization, and from a cold, northern climate, new things are seen in this far-off land, and old things in a new light.

Of course such extreme and sudden changes are not very frequent. They usually occur once or twice a month in August and September, and occasionally at other seasons of the year when the hot, house-burning wind, as the natives call it, blows for a day or two from the north, and then, as in a moment, a cold, chilly current comes driving up from the southwest, bring..
