Use of Table XVI. — The difference between the temperatures of the air 

 and of the Dew-Point being known, multiply the factor in the Table corre- 

 sponding to that difference into the weight of a cubic foot of vapor at the 

 temperature of the Dew-Point, as given in Table XV., and the product will 

 be the weight of vapor in a cubic foot of air at the time of the observation. 



Example. — Temperature of air = 60° F. ; Dew-Point = 52° ; Diff. = 8°. 



Table gives for a difference of 8°, factor 0.984 ; Table XV. gives weight 

 of a cubic foot of vapor at temperature 52° = 4. ^''•56. 



Hence, 0.984 X 4.56 = 4^'"'.49, the weight of vapor required.
