THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

foreteIjI.inc; krost. 



Fras7s should not take tlie farmer or the 

 horticulturi,-t by surprise. The prol)al)ility 

 of their occurrence can be known with al- 

 most as much certainty as the arrival of an 

 express train. For practical use, one of the 

 most important meteorological instruments 

 is the lit/iironirler, by means of which can be 

 ascertained at any time the deic point, and 

 the approach of low temperature, or of frost, 

 thus foreseen and provided against. If on a 

 fair day. toward evening, the dry l)ulb, 

 which would also be the temperature of the 

 air, indicated ')0 and the wet bulb HS", the 

 dew point at the time would be about 25", 

 and frost could of course be expected. If, 

 on the other hand, the dry bulb were 50" and 

 the wet bull) 48 , the dew point then would 

 be about 4(i% and no frost need be lea red 

 under the circumstances. The rule and tal)le 

 of factors for computing the dew point is 

 given above. The temperature of the air 

 need not necessarily sink to 32 to produce 

 frost, since plants and other good radiating 

 bodies may ^ecome cooled by radiation con- 

 siderably bplow the temperature of the sur- 

 rounding air, and a heavy frost may occur 

 when a thermometer at some elevation above 

 the surface indicates only ;^<i"to 40". A light 

 frost may occur when the same thermometer 

 indicates as high as 45 . or even 50 , of tem- 

 perature. The formation of frost depends 

 upon the dew point. Dew and frost, like 

 rain and snow, are formed under the same 

 circumstances, excepting the difference in 

 temperature."
