Systematic reading
is a railroad which
takes YOU from any
where to better meth
DDS.

You can read Systematically even
when you read the daily newspaper
If you watch for a good idea to put to
work in your regular employment.
There is more plecs sure in reading
to purpose than in reading to kill
time or to feed our morbid curiosity.
While systematic reading may not
make us governor of our state, 1t will
help us to live better and save some
thing at the same time. We all need
more common-sense for common sub
jects-we know we do.
A man started jolly good time club,
which met for a banquet every few
weeks, and when I suggested that
they have up some useful subject to
swing around and have a good time
also, he replied that he was so tired
evenings that he could not think and
must have a laugh.
AS did not invest five years time
on a medical course of study for
nothing, made up my mind to watch
this man and his club. In n little
while the man was so sick the insur-
ance companies told him they could
not pass him for year If ever again,
and the club went to pieces.
There is a great difference between
the enthusiasm of earnestness and
the laughter of fun. Enthusiasm for
usefulness leads to rest and health.

ness and frequently moral poisoning

newspapers or the attending of amuse-
ments or entertainments-go at 1t to

can, but let the permanent benefit
precede the temporary pleasure part.

THEY MEASURE THE SUNSHINE
Delicate Which Record the Tns Ray Of Sun That
Appear Cloudy DayThy Are the Topmos Point of the
Guaranty Building and Belong Uncle Weather

,N II the very topmost part Of the tow
ering Guaranty building there is
Y a tiny glass instrument, scarcely
i - as long as mans forearm and
not anywhere near so large
around as a lady 8 wrist. It Is usually,
at least In summer, the hardest worked
of all the delicate and wonderful pieces
Of mechanism which Uncle Sam uses to
enable his weather service stations to is
sue a carefully compiled daily, weekly
and monthly and yearly report Of weather
conditions. But this year it has had an
easy time of it. ,r
This little instrument is known as a
SUNSHINE recorder and it is SO wonder
fully sensitive and yet so absolutely re-
liable that it will not only catch the tiniest
ray of sunshine which may filter thru the
lowering clouds on q rainy day, but will
instantly make an automatic electric rec
ord Of the time the sun appeared and the
duration Of his stay, If but for a moment
at the most.
In addition to the weather observers
personal observation of the proportion of
clear sky covered by clouds, it is recog-
nized that both for dynamic meteorology
| and for climatology a more detailed record
of the amount and intensity of the sun
shine should be obtained.
The old Campbell sunshine recorder con-
sisted Of a large glass or quartz globe
| which acted as a burning glass.
Behind 1t was placed sheet Of paste
board or block of wood and the record
that was burned in by the concentrated
solar rays gave fair record Of the
amount Of bright sunshine each day.

rays may pass.
One cylinder Is for the morning and the
other the afternoon record. -
AS the sun ascends from the horizon to
the meridian the narrow beam that passes
thru the aperture makes a continuous line
upon the prepared paper when clouds do
not intervene. -
A similar record is made on the after
noon paper as the sun descends toward
the horizon. A permanent time scale
showing each hour of the day is inscribed
on this same prepared paper. At the end
Of week or month the paper Is removed,
chemically "fxed' and the record prop
