Can You Tell?
How Rainfall in Inches Is Measured

How Rainfall in Inches Is Measured
Do you know how the Weather Bu-
rcau arrives at the rainfall in inches
or how they 60 about aSccrtaining the
results? On every daily weather bull
printed in inches and hundrcdths of
inches. Most of us know enough about
it to know that a rainfall of two inches
is heavy. and that a rainfall Of, say,
tenth of an inch in day. IS very light.
But how do they measure It!
VIXEN the rainfall Is given as two
inches II means that the amount OF
water which has fallen on one acre Of
ground would completely fill to the top
vessel OF one acre in area and two
inches deep. An acre Of ground con-
tains $50 square feet. Therefore.
rainfall Of one inch over an acre OF
ground would mean total of LA times
| AZ. go. or more than G,0hN.0 600 cubic
inches Of water. This would be about
5000 cubic feet. A cubic foot OF water
weighs about sixty-two pounds and the
weight. therefore, OF one inch Of rnir
on an area Of one acre would be about
225, 600 pounds.
You can also figure the number o'
gal ons that this would mean. a gallor
| of pure water weighs almost eight ahC
n quarter pounds. So the rainfall o
one inch would mean 27.143 gallons Il
the acre. This would fill more thai
800 barrels of the average size.
IT, then, you know the average rain
fall in the place where you are goinl
10 build house and should want t
insta! c!stern to catch the rain
water from the roof, you can so con
struct the cistern as to make the bes
possible use Of the average rainfall.
rainfall Of one !nNh on a roof Of 300
square feet would mean volume q
432 900 cubic inches or go cubic feet
This in gallons would be 1870 or forty
one barrels. You would then have
build your cistern at least five fec
deep and eight feet In diameter.

Ehe Poetess Who Dranatized
It Her Wedding Wants Diuorce
'd No One Is Surprised tter Hearing Of Her Theatrical
Marriage Ceremony and the Temperamental Nature
~ That She Permitted Herself

to the ancient custom Of wearing n veil
and the bridesmaids dressing them
selves up and painting their faces until
they look like nothing human.
Although some weddings are over
elaborate, they do at least follow GUS
tom which has always been identified
with marriage. and the ceremony of the
church is the predomtnating feature of
the affair; II is not reproduction of
pagan sun worship.
The idea Is to make the wedding
more beautiful. not to make the mar
riagc ridiculous.
But then there's another cause for
the shortness of this marriage.
Temperament may be considered very
necessary for the success of n poet and
song writer. but 1t never got wife
anywhere except into trouble.
You cannot take your cccentriCities
and your strange beliefs into every
day married life and expect them to be
received with unfailing enthusiasm.
There are times when a man thinks
his wife's temperament charming and
intriguing; but there are many. many
other times when he wishes she would
come down off her pose and be natural
