TUE rainfall il measured by means Of
an instrument called rain-guage. which
consists generally of funnel opening
Tor collecting the rain as it fall, and q
smaller tube below, into which the col.

: opening be ten inches diameter, then,
e because the areas efcircles are proportional
Q io the squares of their diameters, the
0 one -hundrtdth part of an inch OF rainfall
