How tlie Rainfall In MetM-tred. To Home it may bo in the lino of ia formation to know how rainfall in caught nnl measured, unit what the amount thus -o!le?tl n ti .l estimated signifies in a practical way.

What in understood ty thin almost every day occurence? It menus simply that, if t ho surface of the cnrtli wen level and would not nlisorli rainfall, lint rather hold it in a metallic liasiti, the earth would lie covered with water to the depth indicated ly these ihchri and hundredth of inches. Of course, any kind of a vessel properly exposed will nerve to give a general idea of the. average amount that linn fallen, lmt, iu order that the ktniwcdgo of the amount collected mnv le of scientific or practical value, it niu-t lie oMiiincd liy a uniform method of catching Uk' rain its it falti.
