___ clock (self-winding timepiece)

Usage examples of atmos.

The head of the airman did look like a great balloon, and while Ozma quickly dried her tears, Atmos simply stared at the newcomer, almost forgetting his misfortune in his curiosity.

Before they started, Rusty had weighted Atmos down with an iron bucket and an iron stag, but as the body of the airman filled out, he grew so light and buoyant they had to add the anchor and a couple of chains.

With iron boots Atmos should have no trouble crossing the burning sands, and if he carries you on his shoulder no harm will come to you.

Blinding flashes of lightning and loud crashes of thunder added to the confusion and when large hail Stones came pelting down upon their heads, Atmos stopped in positive alarm.

While Atmos stared at it in a daze, thinking it, too, had fallen from the sky, and Ozma picked herself up in astonishment, a cross doggie face appeared in the doorway.

Thanks to his iron boots, Atmos was not punctured, and as the dog made a spring at Ozma, the airman snatched the little fairy up in his arms and began running in a way he had not believed possible.

So swiftly did Atmos run that the barks of the dog soon died away in the distance and the storm was left far behind them.

Standing first on one foot and then the other, Atmos tried wildly to keep his balance, but in a moment a heavy mud wave struck him behind the knees and rolled him over, so that he and the little Princess of Oz were soon being buffeted along like tiny ships on an unruly ocean.

Striding down a road that would soon cross their own came a most curious figure none other than Atmos, the airman, and pattering along hopefully at his side, the little Princess of all OZ.

To Ozma, herself, and to Atmos, plodding wearily along the rough road, nothing could have been more astonishing than the sudden appearance of Betsy Bobbin and her friends.

And as the little girl, helped out by Carter and Reddy and the Hungry Tiger, recounted her strange trip with Carter to Rash, the discovery of the Hungry Tiger, the wicked-ness of Irashi, the story of the lost rubies and the little Prince, their escape and fall Down Town-Ozma and Atmos listened with simply breathless attention.

In a twinkling Betsy hopped up beside her and with Reddy pacing proudly ahead and Carter and Atmos ambling comfortably behind, the little procession started off.

Carter and Atmos were so interested in each other, and Betsy and Ozma were so busy exchanging their strange experiences, they scarcely noticed the country through which they were passing.

Bidding the little girls hold tight, he went charging full speed over the hill', Reddy, Atmos and Carter racing breathless after him.

Carter and Atmos did not eat at all, but their jokes and questions kept the whole company in a roar of merriment.
