AN INCH OP RAINFALL.
The statement that so many inches of rain have fallen in a given time, conveys a faint idea of the forces which have really been at work. Reduced to tons and gallons we get a better idea of what has happened. An inch of rain means that on every acre over which the fall extends a little more than 100 tons of water have been deposited, and on every square mile 64,000 tons.
