The Philadelphia Record tells of a
schoolteacher who was instructing a
class of boys in geography. Everything
went well until, in order to make the
matter plainer, she took ail ordinary
glob»' and, pointing to the portion eon-
taming the United States, usked hi r
class where she would come out if she
should start from Philadelphia and go
straight through the earth. She knew
they would all say China, but she
wanted to see which of her scholars
would answer first. She waited fully a
minute and no answer came. A w ay back
in the room a grimy hand was finally
held up. “ Well, D avid,” she asked,
"where would I come out if I should go
straight though the earth from here?”
The silence was growing thicker every
second. "Please, Miss Maude, you
would come out of the hole,” wits the
reply, and the class in gisigraphy wns
dismissed for the day.___________________
