Tothe Editor Of The Dispatch:
In answer to Your letter OF
the 14th instant, | beg to ad-
wise YOU as follows:
Your correspondent as
Sume> that a certain quantity
of rain falls every year and
inquiries whether, if the rain
fall for the first two or three
months Is above the average,
the fall for the succeeding
months will not be below the
average.
1t is not possible to deter
mine from the rainfall of the
first *WO or three months
Of a year what the fall of the
succeeding months will be.
The variations IN rainfall are
exceedingly erratic, and, 50
far as known, follow no def
mite law. The assumption
that a fixed amount Of rain
falls each year is not correct.
The fall Of one year varies
considerably from that of an
other. Likewise. the fall Of
L >lnSl year NAV not exceed
50 per cent. Of the normal in
times Of great drought. and,
on the other hand, in years of
abundant rain the total amount
NAV be as much as 80 per
cent. Of the normal fall.
Your correspondent letter
is returned herewith.
Very respectfully,
WILLIS l.. MOORE.
Chief United States Weather
Bureau.
The Charlotte Observer
adds:
This shows how badly mis-
taken one may be in a belief
entertained throughalifetime.
While everybody of course
knows that the rainfall varies
Very greatly from year to
year. we had supposed that
there was a Standard an av-
erage tor. let us say. ten
Years and that while this
average would vary greatly in
different States and sections,
1t is for North Carolina some
10 to 50 inches for a wear.
That has been the Observers
instruction. but it appears
from Mr.. Moore's letter that
1t has no basis of scientific
fact to rest upon, but that
the variations in rainfall !
follow no definite law"

LONDON, Sept. 2T.-The evening pa
pers express amusement at Admiral
Dewey's premature arrival at New
York. The st. James Gazette says:
admiral Dewey must have heard ru-
mors Of the reception preparing for him
and very probably drew his own con-
illusions as to their appropriateness.
Whatever the nation. which is totally
unaccustomed to naval victories over
an allen race, may think OF the battle of
Manila, the admiral who directed those
very business-like and thorough opera
lions can have no illusions as to the
calIbre Of the foe which was unable to
prevent him taking an overwhelming
advantage. The New Workers were
caught unprepared as were the Span
iards at caTite. Admiral Dewey Is a
smart officer"
