THE RAIN-FALL.
The climatology of California is different from that of any other portion of the United States, in fact the climate changes with localities, although of a general sameness. The year is divided into two seasons, the wet and the dry. The wet season, extending from October to May, varies greatly in the amount of rain. and in the dry season rain some- times falls, usually about the first of July, but such fall is regarded as phenomenal. The physical fea. tures having the chief influenee in governing the rains are the broad expanse of ocean and the Sierra Nevada, and until these are changed there is little likelihood of the elimate or seasons changing. Placer County is so situated as to be exempt from excessive drouth, the high Sierra intercepting and condensing the vapors brought by the warm south winds of winter. A few statistics of rain-fall are here given, a complete record never having been kept; but the following will give a general idea of the average seasons :-
