flower stalks, at the end of which pods appear. Inside the pods is a soft, white down, which is called cotton. This is spun and woven into cloth." 3. What is the difference between cotton and wool? Lesson 29. 1. Look at a globe. Find a line running round the globe at the thickest part. This is called the _Equator_, because it divides the earth into two _equal_ parts. The hottest parts of the earth lie round about the Equator. The distance round the earth at the Equator is 25,000 miles. A railway train, running 50 miles an hour, and never stopping, would require nearly three weeks for the journey. Find out whether father's voyage was longer or shorter than this. 2. Measure with a band of paper the distance on the globe from the Equator on one side to the Equator on the other. Find half this distance and mark it on the globe. Then mark the same distance on the other side of the Equator. The points which you have marked are called the _Poles_. One is the _North Pole_; the other is the _South Pole_. 3. Learn: _We divide the land of the earth into five great parts; each of these parts is called a continent. There are five continents_--_Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Australia. We divide the water of the earth into five great parts. Each of these parts is called an ocean. There are five oceans_--_Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic. The Arctic Ocean is round the North Pole; the Antarctic Ocean is round the South Pole_.
