sparkling liquid that exuutss -iAs0pgh

way to the surface TO slake the thirst

This spring is the hub around which
the world revolves, and this hub Is no,
imaginary as the little boy said to his
teacher in school when she asked him
what was the worlds axis. He re-
piled that II was an imaginary line
drawn through the world like mammals
clothes line. She then ask him II he
could hang clothes on Il and he said
yes. imaginary clothes.
There is no joke about this being
the hub. II is the real thing.
