est difference to be 215 degrees. The fact that
the temperature is so variously reported often
within the same neighborhood, results from the
different exposure of the instrument. If the
sun shines on surfaces Immediately about the
thermometer, without an intervening screen, the
temperature will be noted too high. The mer-
