The readings of these instrumentshave been plotted, and comparative charts of temperatureand humidity for January and July are shown in figs. 3 and4, facing pp. 24, 25. With such intensive study it is be-lieved possible to chart the climate for every ten-acre climatic charts will show without error not only properlocation of dwellings with relation to air-drainage, tempera-ture, humidity, &c, but will give positive information as tosoil-drainage, and all of this in addition to the al
