up to date.
1t will be seen by the above that the
rainfall for the past four months is only
$50 (nearly that much fell in the one
month of August, 1870, which is GOA less
than the total rainfall for the same four
months last year, and 11.57 inches less
than the normal for that time.
IT will be seen, TOO, that in September,
1895, there was the phenomenally small
fall of 10 of an inch, but then there was
no drought, as this dry spell was sand
wiched between several wet months.
The conclusion arrived ait from Pc
rusal of what has been written must be
that even should there be !ain imme-
diatcly, there isn't going to be enough
to affect the water supply to any greaf;
extent, and that vt was we'll that the

THE LONG DRY SPELL
L Is Unparalleled IN the Experience Of
Weather Observer Gray.
POTENT FIGURES FOR COMPARISON
Tho Rainfail During the Past Four
sIonths Very Far Behind ,he NOR
MALE is Goa Inches Less Than
Last Yehr--ListiS Prospeetof Much
More Water Either.

The protracted drought under which
this section is suffering is one of the
| most phenomenal in it's history, and the
| worst of It Is that there is little pros
peds OF Its being broken soon to any very
| appreclajble extent. Even If the rainfall
for November and December reaches the
| normal the total will be only GIT, or
80 inches for one month, and 367 for
the other. OF course there Is a posi-
| bility Of its going above the normal.
These figures, however, are made UP
from observations for the past twenty
! eight years.
The present drought may be said 70
have commenced in the latter part Of
last July. On the 2Gth and 9th of that
| month liz inches of rain fell, and on the
| 2Sth there was ,S7 OF an inch more.
This wasn't much, but 1t amounted to a
good dead beside what has fallen since
In 4 heavy rain storm the average fall
is an inch an hour. Conclusions may be
| drawn from this statement to prove that
these recent times have been very dry
\ Indeed.
In August there was no rain to
amount to anything, and In September
the heaviest lain was on the 22d and
ed, when Ill inches fell. UP to the
present time the rainfall In October has
been but 3S OF an inch. The normal for
this month is 3.S7. In fact, all the
| months OF this year show a decided fall
ing off from the normal, nor has there
been this year any particularly heavy
| rain, the heaviest being on March 18th,
| when 1.SS inches fell.
There was something of dry spell
last year during the same period, but
1t did net equal this which Weather OBJ
serve. Gray says is the most prolonged
In his experience. For the sake of COM
parison the following figures will be In
teresting as giving the rainfall in the
months embraced in this period since
