For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
MAKE-BELIEVE LAND.

I'D you ever play at Make-Believe
Land? Well, / will tell you how
little boy and girl made all
their work easy by playing that
all the work they had to do was pleas
ant and very different from what it
really was. They called it living in
Make-Belleye Land.
Hans and Freda lived in a country
where II was very cold in the winter so
that they had to work hard in the sum-
mer and spring to get fuel to keep them
warm when the cold days should come
and food TO keep the wolf from the
door. Not a real wolf. you know, but
hunger that is called the wolf by some
people.
You must 60 into the forest today
and gather sticks" said their mother:
.the winds blew hard last night and
the ground will be covered with
branches. Go and bring back big
bundle"
We'll play today that We are the
children of a King said Hans, "and
that all the sticks are gold" 1t was
easy for Freda to see the same things
her brother saw. for they had lived a
long time in Make-Believe Land.
They picked up the golden sticks and
soon they had two big bundles. but
they were not satisfied. I'VE should
take more Of this gold" said Hans,
and not leave it here. 1t will turn
| to stick OF wood when we leave it,
So they worked until 1t was dark and
| had six bundles to carry home.
I'VE cannot carry all this at once,
said Freda, If we leave II here il will
turn into sticks"
I'VE can make believe we arc carry
Feathers" said Hans. lit will not seen
as heavy as gold and then We each cal
carry two bundles. Tomorrow we cal
! come hack for the others and l am sur
they will still be gold"
| You must dig In the garden today,
said thir mother; get out the weed
and make the soil rich for the vege
! tables"
! Let us play we are at the seashor
and this Is sand" said Freda. 1T vii
not seem so hard, and the weeds we ca
make believe were fish. and must b
thrown back into the ocean"
They worked all day and were no
willing to stop until they had all tn
garden as 1t should be.
When the winter came and it wa
cold at night they tucked the be
their breakfast, but Freda said: Nv
can play we are riding in big sleig
and the blanket is a rich fur robe tina
will make us feel warmer. and anywa

not mind being a little cold

OF
A NEW KIND IS
NOW INSTALLED
1T is a TELETHERMosco AND
HAS BEEN FITTED UP AT THE
LOCAL BUREAU OF THE Wealth
Err SERVICE.

telethermoscope, a new inStru-
ment, has been installed at the local
weather buerau, and will come in han
dy to derive temperatures during the
winter and summer months without
leaving the office on the tenth floor of
the American national bank building.
1t has just been fitted out and is as
peculiar looking as it's name. what
is that thing?" asked a Journal repre-
sentative of Weather Observer Reed
yesterday afternoon, and here is his
reply:
listen: a telethermoscope Can
you tele-what-it is? You know that
thermo' means heat, and scope in this
case must mean distance; therefore,
we have an instrument that can tell
what a thermometer reads at a dis
tance. The distance here Is between
the instrument room in the local office
of the weather bureau and the instru-
ment shelter on the roof of the Ameri-
can National bank building. The pur-
pose of this little device is to conven-
iently answer the many telephone in
quiries by parties desiring to know
the exact temperature at the moment
of call and for various other reasons.
Perhaps the little instrument will
pay for itself some cold dav this win
ter when the temperature hoVers
around the freezing point and many
want to know whether or not it is
safe to turn on or off the water. OF
course you know this little instrument
keeps record in the shade and some
hot summer day you may sit under
the shade of the old oak tree and call
to someone to ring up 10 and ask
what the temperature is. for really
one might think it hotter or colder
than the thermometer shows and not
care to do much until he knows
Coming again to this little tell tale
device and getting into the words of
the technical sheets that come with all
such instruments. we find that this
does not make an au-
tomato record of the temperature, but
simply indicates this temperature. In
fact, it Is necessary for the observer
to make a certain adjustment of the
indicator in order to determine the

temperature. The Indicator points to
q scale of temperatures on a revolving
disc. To obtain the temperature you
press a key which causes a needle on
ga1va nometer to shift to the posi-
tive or negative side, zero being at the
center. If when You press the key
the needle shifts to positive the indi-
Gator is below the temperature If it
shifts to the negative the indicator is
above the true temperature, so that to
find the true temperature the scale is
shifted under the indicator until the
galvanometer needle comes to zero
and shows neither positive nor mega
tive current
THE measurem emit of temperature
by these instruments is based upon
the principle that the electrical resist
ance Of certain kinds of wire Tin this
case nickel wire) changes considerably
with changes of temperature. The
thermoIn bulb consists, therefore,
of coil of fine nickel wire and the
indicator contains a device for ascer-
tanning the variations in resistance of
this coil of wire and indicating these
variations on a. scale of temperatures.
Temperature measurements obtained
from this electrical indicator are quite
as accurate as eye readings Of the best
grade of mercurial thermometers"
