COMPARATIVE TEMPERATURE OF SOILs-A me-
mor was published by Becquerel in November. 1872,
upon the comparative temperature of soils at given
depth and of the same composition; but the one
covered with short vegetation and the other bare
and sandy. The observations were made with the
electric thermometer, by which it was shown that
from the Autumn Of 1871 to the Summer of 1872 the
mean temperature. at depth from inches to o. TN
der q turfed and under bare soil, was always
different in the two; and that during all the months
of the year the temperature of the sOdded soil was
generally higher than that under the denuded sur
face.
further inquiry was entered into as to the effect
rroduced upon similar soils by rainy season. the
ohservafions being made for two months, when the
rain was almost continuous and it was found that
during November and December 1872, the rain being
almost constant, the mean temperature OF the soil
covered with vegetation to the depth OF "a inches
was nearly always superior to that OF the denuded
soil at the same depth. In November the tempera-
fure at o'clock in the morning, az dlerent depIhs,
was generally nearly two degrees fahTenhelt hgher
under the sod than under the denuded SOIL down 10
depth Of about IL inches. AT O'CLOCK p, M. the
difference was less During clear SKY Inc e nd
half degrees below the mean temperature, ana I.o1
TO $50 above that of the bare surface. With cloudy
sky the temperature Of the covered SOIL eg4aieG es.
of the air. during rainy days the temperature unaer
the sOdded surface at depth OF 20 inches, was Ilo
of degree less than that of the air under the
sodded soil the temperature was about the same.
AS general rule il was found that the covered
soil was about 80 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than
the uncovered. whatever the nature OF its compost
ton during moist and rainy season. This may
perhaps be explained on the superstition that Wnen
l Re- covered with vegetation the roots Of the latter
form kind Of felting which prevents the ready pas
sage Of the rain having the temperature OF the air,
a. fhst the covered soil the temperature Of
die air more slowly than the uncovered.
