       Sir J. Chardin observes, "In the Lower Asia, in particular,
       the day is always hot; and as soon as the sun is fifteen
       degrees above the horizon, no cold is felt in the depth of
       winter itself.  On the contrary, in the height of summer the
       nights are as cold as at Paris in the month of March.  It is
       for this reason that in Persia and Turkey they always make use
       of furred habits in the country, such only being sufficient to
       resist the cold of the nights.  I have travelled in Arabia,
       and in Mesopotamia, (the theatre of the adventures of Jacob,)
       both in winter and in summer, and have found the truth of what
       the Patriarch said, "That he was scorched with the heat in the
       day, and stiffened with cold in the night."  (Ge 31:40.)  This
       contrariety in the qualities of the air in twenty-four hours
       is extremely great in some places, and not conceivable by
       those that have not felt it; one would imagine that he had
       passed in a moment from the violent heats of summer to the
       depth of winter.  Thus it had pleased God to temper the heat
       of the sun by the coldness of night, without which the
       greatest part of the East would be barren, and a desert."
