Mothers as friends

A mother should endeavor to remain
az young i'll disposition as her children.
When they are infants she usually does
make herself childlike in her ways in
order to amuse them, but as soon as
they are able to play at their own
games she is apt to let them go by
themselves and drift away from her.
Many people can look back on their
youth and see that their mothers took
very little part in their lives, contenting
themselves with insisting on the per-
Torrance of certain duties. and then
leaving them to 60 their own way
within ill-defined limits.
1t is mistake 10 take refuge in the
statement, "Oh, am getting too old
to play such gaTnesi'' or In some similar
observation. Try TO be one with them.
one of them, ut any age; the daughters
will love you ell the more, and for you
ole age will bes pushed further back.
Nothing is prettfer than the spectacle
Of a laughing trio or quartet of a
mother and her daughters. The children
are grateful for what she has done and
is doing, and they reward her by their
tender solicitude and their intense de-
sire to make her happy.
The mother who has always been the
companion of her daughters finds that
at all the important moments OF their
lives she Is their best friend.
1t is noticeable that fathers and sons
are forming closer ties with one an
other. The mothers must not lag be-

The Lily While Hand.

Don't undervalue the appearance Of
the hands. A beautiful hand may be
even more Fascinating than beautiful
face
Don't neglect massaging and knead-
ing the hands. and always use an en-
ollient. This keeps the hands soft, white
and plant.
Don't forget to pinch the ends of the
fingers now and then This will do a
good deal toward making the fingers
taper.
Don't wear gloves every night. or the
hands will become yellow. Occasional
use of gloves, however, is advisable.
Don't dry the hands carelessly after
washing, use a soft darnask towel or a
silk handkerchief and dry thoroughly.
Don't wear rings that are too small.
The inevitable result is red and swollen
hands and knuckles.
Don't wear bracelets tight enough to
affect the circulation. or so that they
rub ON the joints of the wrist.
Don't wear gloves that are size too
small; this rreveats circulation and
makes the hands red.
Don't fc-gAt that warm feet have
much to 90 rtith white hands. When
the feet aYe mutually cold the hands
are always red or blue.

The Point of
No Longitude
How Time Is Measured In the Great
Greenwich Observatory.

Doubtless every student of geogra,
ply has had his curiosity aroused
regarding Greenwich observatory,
whence longitude is reckoned and
where the world sets its timepieces;
and has been DESTROYS Of learning
more about the dwelling place Of
longitude naught" and the chrome.
meter that regulates the clocks of the
world. The purpose of this article is
to crafty such curiosity; and to de-
scribe, briefly, some of the wonders of
the great observatory.
The most important room OF the
whole observatory is the transit room,
Four broad stone pillars occupy the
greater part of the space of this room.
Two Of these pillars are tall, as well
as broad and massive. They stand
least and west of the center of the
room and carry between them the
transit circle. Here is the home Of
longitude naught'; for the optical
axis of the great telescope of the tran.
sit circ.e marks the exact spot crossed
by the prime meridian of the world.
Two other telescopes are in the room,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-10-12

one to the north and one to the south
of the transit circle, mounted on the
two remaining pillars and both on the
line of the optical axis of the transit
circle.
There are two somewhat different
senses in which the meridian of
IGreenwich is the standard meridian OF
nearly the entire world. 1t constitutes
the fundamental line whence dis,
tances east and west are measured;
and ii gives the time to the world.
1t will be interesting to note how
time is found.
The great telescope. already de-
scribed as occupying the center OF the
transit room. is very solidly mounted
Its pivots are supported by the pair
of great stone pillars, whose founda'
lions go deep down under the surface
of the hill; and it turns but In one
plane, that of longitude naught. On
1.-The west side of the telescope, and
Irigidly connected with it, is a large
wheel, with a number OF wooden
handles fastened to it, like the steer.
ingw wheel of large steamer This
wheel carries the setting circle, which
is engraved on a band of silver let
into the face and back of the wheel
near its circumference. Eleven mi
horoscopes penetrate through the pier,
and are directed at the circle on the
back of the wheel These are the in
Istruments used in finding time
Time is usually determined by the
watching of passing stars The stars
are used for this purpose, because
they are many and the sun is but one.
If clouds hide the sun at noon, the
only time when 1t can be observed to
determine time, a day is lost: but II
one star is covered by a cloud there
are still many others that can be OBJ
served, Star transits can be taken
at various times throughout the day
and night. while the sun can be used
only once a day.
About two minutes before the APP
pointed time the operator takes his
place at the eye-piece of the telescope
As he looks in he sees number OF
vertical lines across his field of view
These are spired-threads placed in the
focus Of the eye-piece. Presently q

bright point of silver light comes NOV
ing quickly, steadily onward. The
watchers hand now seeks the side OF
the telescope till his finger finds lit
tie button, over which it rests ready
to strike. On comes the star without
haste, without rest" till it reaches one
of the cleaning threads. Tap! The
finger falls sharply on the button In
three or four seconds later the star
has reached another thread Tap.
Again the button is struck; and so on
until the ten threads have been
passed and the transit is over
Now what have the finger taps
done? Each tap completed for an in
slant, an electric circuit and recorded
a mark on the chronometer. This is
large metal cylinder covered with
paper, and turned by a carefully regu-
lated clock once in every two minutes
A similar mark is made once in every
two seconds by a current sent by
means of the standard siderial clock
of the observatory. If, then, one of
the clock dots and one of the observ-
er's dots come exactly side by side, It
is known at what precise second the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-10-12

lstar was on one of the wires, as the
spider threads are called. Ii the OBJ
servers dot comes between two clock
dots, it is easy, by measuring its dis
lance from them with a dividing
scale, to tell the instant the star was
on the wire to the tenth part OF sec
Iond. Since the transit was taken
over ten wires and the distance of
each wire from the center of the field
of view is known, practically ten sepa
rate observations have been made
and the average of these gives the.
time of transit.
At the observatory there is a great
clock, called the siderial cock, which
registers "a hours in the precise time
that the earth rotates once on its
axis, or the time when a given star
would again appear on fixed merid-
ian. Hence, since the exact time is
known when the star ought to be on
the meridian this clock can be read
lily checked by the observations OF
star transit
The error of the clock is determined
twice a day, shortly before 10 oclock
in the morning and shortly before
O'Clock in the afternoon. These two
times are chosen because, at 10 ana
o'c,ock signals are sent to all the
great provincial centers. Also at
O'Clock the time ball at Greenwich and
at Deal are dropped, so that the can
tains Of ships within sight of the drop
ping-mast may set their chronometers.
Thus is time found and regulated at
/ the great observatory.
There is little of the picturesque or
sensational in the regular routine
work of the observatory The daily
observation of the sun and OF many
stars-called clock stars. the deter
mination of the error o. the standard
clock and its correction twice a day,
the sending out of time signals. the
care. winding and rating Of hundreds
of chronometers and the determine
ton. from time to time. of the eaxct
| longitude of foreign and colonial cit
| les make a ceaseless round of work
Yet there Is charm in II all to those
who delight in the handling OF deli.
cate and exact instruments which
renders its dreary routine fascinating
