A school master out In one of the rural
districts uses turnip to represent a
globe-the earth. The turnip may an
swer every purpose, but suppose some
hungry lad be experimenting with it as
the master turns his back. and accidently
takes bite off the said turnip- globe,
what would the hole be? A lake, slough
| or ravine? If the master geographer,
presiding over the turnip can explain
what will be originated by the formation
of this hole, we will lend our attention
to the illustration of this theory.
