Facts and Figures,

To give to the reader an idea of the i'm
mense amount of rain which fell nom sun
day TO Wednesday noon, We append the ioI-
lowing calculation: In one rod there are 27-
square feet and one inch of water on this sur
face would amount to l6s gallons. Fl, uring
upon the same basis, a rainfall of one inch
on one acre would amount to 2 ,0iO gallons
and on one square mile il would be l., ,Sj5, ,GUO
gallons. But this rainfall between Sunday
and wednesday was over three inches-aI-
most four, If not quite still, using the small
er figure as the multiple, one square mile OF
surface received a fall of 81 ,sl6 500 gallons In
this county there are about 40 square miles,
which would MAKE the grand total OF toe
rainfall in the county % S62, 900 gallons.
Entering into statistics still further, on ac-
count OF the pleasant amusement sfforde 4
thereby in hot weather, this amount Of wa
ter would load 024 freight cars. Est,ma-
ting l5o cars 10 the mile, this would make a
tlsin $3.50 miles long, or about twice and q
half around the earth st the equator.
