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;
