 George A Lindsay. writing in ths "Transactions of the Ac Academy de Sci- ence of St. Louis gives some int crest ing statistics of the rainfall cf the United States not expressed in the conventional inches of depth. but in the aggregate volume and weight of the moisture that falls annually over a given area. To any one who is famil- far only with the customary metl:od of stating rainfall it is somewhat star ting to learn, for instance. that 439 cubic miles of rain fell in Missouri durirg the year 1896 This is dc ided. ly more impressive than the statement tibt the rainfall was about forty iiiclles
 In the same year 1,29G.4 cubic miles of water is computed to have aalleh over che whole area uf the United States. and the average annual fain- fall is somewhat greater than this-- viz. 1908 cubic miles. weighing 6,o00.- 0,OG0,00o tons. As an illustration of the fact that moste of the wlter that falls as rain never reaches the sea through the medium of drainage, h'lt Is eyaporated from the land. hr Lindsay shows that the discharge of the Mis- sissippi river at St. Louis is but little greater than the volume oe. rainfall over the state of Missouri alone de- spite the enormous area drained by the river above that point
