For many years the Village OF Cher
rapunji, in the Khasi Hills of AS.
sam, 400 feet above sea level, en-
joyed the reputation of being the
wettest bit of dry" land known to
science. According to the latest Of
ficial figures, its average annual rain
fall amounts to 426 inches. However,
a place has been found that appears
from the record available. to be con-
sidsrably wetter. This place Is the
wild and almost inaccessible sum-
NIT of Mt. Waialea1e, in the Hawa-
iian Islands, with an altitude of 5,075
feet. BY the United States geologi-
cal survey and the United States
weather bureau, huge rain gauge
the largest ever made-has been in
stalled in this remote spot, and the
present plan is to measure the rain
fall and empty the gauge only once
a year. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the average annual rain
fall is at least $50 inches.
The heaviest brief shower on rec
ord occurred May 1, 1908, at Porto
