The people living in the Torrid Zone send to us Temperate Zone people many useful things that do not grow here. These are some of them:
| Cocoanuts | Chocolate |
| Bananas | Pepper |
| Coffee | Palm leaves |
| Rubber | Mahogany |
In return the Temperate Zone people send to the Torrid Zone inhabitants things that they do not have. In the Hot Zone there are no large factories in which to manufacture goods, so we send there:
| [p89] Farm tools | Guns |
| Woven goods | Knives |
| Books | Clothing |

THE COLD ZONES
AN ESKIMO FAMILY.
At the most northern part of the earth and at the most southern part are regions of intense cold. The earth is entirely covered with ice and snow all of the year. The water is filled with masses of floating ice and snow. Our coldest winter days are not nearly so cold as the climate of the North and South Frigid [p90] Zones. It is even hard to tell which is land and which is water.
