By studying the curves of tbe solar
radiation, it has been found that they
approximate with startling nearness
the curves of temperature and bar
ometric pressure over certain areas.
In other instances, it has been found,
the temperature and pressale curves
travel Inversely to the curves of solar
radiation. It has been postlble to dl-
