Its width varies from about 30 to over 100 miles, and lits irregular coast-line, oxer 2,000 miles long, is bordered by numerous islands. Being mainly a mountainous, desert region, it is thinly peopled and Dpresents _many sharply contrasting contrasting conditions. Low. sun- scorched plains, where death by thirst awaits the unwary traveler, lie close to the bases of towering granite peaks, belted with waving pine forests' and capped in winter by gleaming stow; “Vast desolate plateaus of ragged black lava embosom gem-like: valleys, where verdurelbordered streams -and | the spreading fonds of date palms re- call the mystericus hidden vales of the ‘Arabian Nights’ The - western coast is bathed by cool waters und abundant fogs, while the édsfern shore is laved by the waves of a warm 1 land sea, sparkling under almost con. tinuous sunshine. “Although adjoining some of our best knwon territory and with a recorded history which goes back almost four centuries and teems with varied events, the peninsula still remains one of the least-known parts of North America, The early chronicles tell of its dis- covery in 1533 by an expedition sent out by Cortes in search of a tabulously rich island said to have been inhabited by Amazons. “It has been estimated that at the time of its discovery the peninsula, in- cluding many of the bordering islands, was peopled by about 25,000 Indians, The inhabitants vigorously resented the instrusion of newcomers, and for more than a century efforts to establish military colonfes in the new land re- sulted in disasterous failures. “During one period n its history the southern shores of the peninsula served as the lurking plate of Sir Fran Drake and other frechooters lving in for the re-laden Spanish icons on their annual voyages from nilla to Mexico. wa Rooney, one of the instructors of the Sanford school.

So ruthless was the pursuit of these ani- mals that in a few decades they were on the verge of extermination, and the business ended, apparently forever. “Durifig the last half “century all parts of the peninsula have been visited, mainly by Americans, in search of mines and other natural re- sources, but little of the finowledse thus gained has become available to the public. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and other minerals and much fertile land have been found, but the scarcity |of water. fuel, forage, and the difficul- ties of transportation have united with other causes to bring about many failures in the attempts to develop these resources. “The isloation of the desert lowlands of Lower California, combined with al- ternations of long-continued droughts and heavy rains, has resulted in the development of the richest and most extraordinary desert flora in the world. “One morning, in front of Magdalena Bay, I rode out from a dense growth of brushes into an open area and pull- ed up my horse in amazement at sight of the most extraordinary of them all. Before me was a great bed of creep- ing devil cactus, which appeared like a swarm of gigantic caterpillars creeping in all directions. These plants actually travel away from the common center of the group and I saw many single sections 20 to 30 vards away from the others. The part of the stem restinz on the ground sends down rootlets and the older stems die in the rear at about the same rate as they grow in front, so they slowly move away from the colony across the flas where they live. “A large number of the smaller kinds of deésert mammals never drink water. They live and thrive on.dey seeds and scraps -of vegetation .in places where the heat and aridity are lips to water, and it has.even been found impossible to teach some-of them to take water in captivity. Apparent- ly they never know thrist or the de- light of quenching it. Keep Out the Malsture. A very effective ageiit for mofsture- proofing wood has been found in an aluminum leaf coating.
