"VARSITY STUDENTS

BAROMETRIC CHARTS

In the August and Saptomber lague of the Yellow. Dugon," the Journal of Queen's College, Hong Kwong University, attention is drawn to the chart of meteorologi- cal graphs appearing in the issue. The article states:

Long ago, in the first decade of the 20th century, when teaching Geography, we were constantly con- fronted with the inadequacy of the meteorological data from the great mass of the Chinese Empire. Indeed, ao scanty were these data that few satisfactory comparisons could be made with other parts of the world. As we passed out from the College many students who went into the Imperial Customs Stations, og in other capacities, went into various parts of Ching, we thought that I we laid the foundation of a practical training in keeping simple meteoro- logical 'records--rainfall, tempera- ture, humidity, barometric pressure -that these students might use this knowledge and skill and gradually, in various centres, establish small stations at which similar records might be kept.

In 1913 we first put up our sots may quote of Instruments. We from the "Yellow Dragon" of January, 1914: "Mr. Crook has made and presented us with a neat lock-up box for a standard barometer, which is now fixed in the verandah outside 3 B (Room 3). A suitable box is also being mado to hold both a maximum and minimum thermometer and a wet and-dry bulh thermometer. We have a rain-gauge. Mr: also procured Crook hopes to start daily observa tion and records early in 1914. When these are in full swing, they wil, we hope, he issued for publica- tim i the "Yellow Dragon." Queen's College, in time, promises to become a nursery of ardent we Since then meteorologists.” have obtained a barograph and a These Instruments thermograph.

The rain-gauge is on the roof in a position free from ob- struction. The other instruments are under cover of the verandah on the wall facing north. They are more open to the influence of the than to the north-east monsoon south-west but they are in a freely- circulating atmosphere. They are situated 170 feet above sea-level.

The readings of all instrumenta are given as read, no correctiona being made for temperature, height about sea-level, etc. We think this a wiser method as, once the funda 'mentals are learned accurately, the readjustments necessary for greater accuracy can be more easily learned. Readings were commenced in. 1913 and with an indefatigable re-humidity and wet-and-dry bulb gularity, students have taken the temperature.

In the years 1914 and 1916 we tried graphs of rainfall, and maximum and minimum tempera- ture but we found this expensive and, in the way in which we did it unsatisfactory, so we abondoned the Iden. This year, however, we have produced

a series of graphs of which we are proud and we think justly do.
