SEEKING INFORMATION
The capacity of the (average small boy for asking questions is practically unlimited, but it is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been ,made by a boy than those propounded by a youngster to his father, who had taken him for a steamer trip. Here is a partial list :—: — ' Is that water down there any wetter than the wateT in the x Atlantic Ocean?' ' What makes the -water' wet ? ' ' How many could be drowned in water as deep as that ? ' ' Is that big man with the gold buttons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them to ? ' ' Where do all these soapsuds behind the boat come .from ? ' ' Could a train go as fast on the water as this boat ? '
