THE NEW THERMOMETER.
The next morning as they left the breakfast table Donald said:
"It's going to be warmer to-day."
"I think not," said Frank. "When I went to the barn it seemed quite cool."
"What do you think, Susie?" asked Uncle Robert.
"It was cool under the trees when I went to the spring for a pitcher of water," said Susie, "but it seemed rather warm in the sun. I think it is a lovely morning."
"What makes it warm?" asked Uncle Robert.
"Why, the sun," replied Donald, looking rather surprised at such a question.
"But does the sun make it warm in the winter?" asked Uncle Robert.
"The sun is nearer the earth in spring and summer," said Frank confidently.
