INFORMATION WANTED.
Providence, R. I.
Jack-in-the-Pulpit: Sir: I write to ask if any of your little birds ever crossed the Equator; and, when just above it, whereabouts in the sky did they look for the sun at noon?
If you will answer this you will oblige me very much, as I have been wondering for about a month past.
Don't think this foolish.
Edwin S. Thompson.
None of my feathered friends ever told me about this; but, perhaps, some of you smart chicks who have just passed good examinations can answer Edwin's question. If so, I'd be glad to hear from you; especially if you'd let me know, also, what kind of a thing the equator is, and by what marks or signs a bird or anybody might make sure he had pitched upon it?
