RAIE-GAUGES - An Australian
meteorological, M. Dimes, has called
attention to q source of error in the
use of the rain guage, that may, I'M
der certain circumstances, decidedly
vitiate its reliability. He has OBJ
served, namely, that the amount of
rainfall which two Instruments will
register will depend notably on their
respective distances from the ground.
From the result of experimental
trials conducted during one year,
with two instruments placed respect
lively at the height OF fifty feet and
four feet from the ground, the lower
gauge registered twenty seven per
cent. more rainfall than the upper
one; and that occasionally when q
rainfall was accompanied by high
wind. the lower one showed two or
even three times as much as the up
per. He attributes the discrepancy
to the greater disturbance suffered
by the elevated gauges from the ac-
ton of the wind, and cautions mete-
biologists that the readings Of rain
gauges cannot be taken to be rclia-
bic unless made with Instruments
suspended at uniform height from
the groand.-Ha,per's Magazine
