Climate of Kreuznach. Since the choice of a watering-place does not depend on the spring and its ingredients alone, but its climatic conditions being also of the highest importance, some observations on the climate of Kreuznach may find a suitable place here. The climate of the middle rhenish plain, in the north-west part of which Kreuznach (North lat.4950'12", East long, from Ferro 2531'20") is situated, is warm, clear and dry. Dr. Dellmann, head-master of the College of this place, came to this conclusion after laborious and careful observations, made during 12 years in the service of the Eoyal Prussian Meteorological Institution and recorded it in his work: ,,Das Klima der mittel - rheinischen Ebene und die Spanuung der offenen Saule". The comparison of his ascertained facts with those of other stations yielded the above final result of the climate's character of the plain of the Middle-Rhine. It might almost be assumed, a priori, of a country, so distinguished in zoological, botanical, uiiueralogical and geological relations, that its climate must have peculiar advantages. — The result of Dr. Dellmann's tabulated observations confirms that supposition for the middle rhenisch plain to a certainty. From these tables we learn the particular data of the height of temperature, of the atmospheric pressure, the clouds, the direction and force of the wind, the expansion of vapor, the relative humidity, the forms of the clouds, the electric phenomena and the quantity of rain of Kreuznach. They contain further the proof that very happy climatic circumstances prevail in our neighbourhood and that Kreuznach particularly in comparison with other cities of the middle rhenisch plain can show the most favorable figures. As a deeper look into that interesting and ...
