When you read in the paper that the precipitation was one inch you probably fail to comprehend just what that means, but if you were told that during the rain 110 tons of water, or COO huge barrels had fallen on each acre of ground, then probably you would be able to visualize just what had happen ed when tne little drops came pattering on the roof. When you reflect that rain storms otten cover great areas and extend for many hours, or until four or five inches have fal len, you can imagine the enor mous oceans of water that are precipitated duringa storm. You can also get a fair idea of the reason why so-called cloud-bursts frequently do such fearful dam age. The addition to the Racket Store room has been completed, and it is now occupied.
