While this country has had two OF
three very dry years. some parts OF
Europe appear. according to statistics
to be getting more rain every year.
Observations at the Observatory OF
Paris show that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall was 500 milli-
meters tan inch Is about rs MILL
/. ueters). In the next 20 years the
average was 507: then from lS45 to
1872 there was an increase to 525; in
the next 20 years 1t was 500. and in
the last 10 years the average has
grown TO 5s4 millimeters-soout 23H
inches.
The commonest theory to account
for this Is that the smoke and drs
rising from 4 large city favor tn.
condensation OF moisture. But thi.
theory runs counter to the experience
Of London. the smokiest city of Eu
rene. where no such increased rain
fall Is recorded
And in some OF the mountainous
regions OF France the increase has
been as much as 70 per cent, as
compared with 80 years ago.
