CHAPTER IV
THE USE OF THE GLOBE
What is the Earth for? Nobody knows. Some say the Earth was made to supply the wants of Man, but as Man is part and parcel of the Earth herself, dust of her dust, mould of her mould, it does not answer the question.
The Friendly Cow.
From an instantaneous photograph of animal cracker.
Owing to the high price of living the cow was partially eaten by the author before the photograph could be taken.
To be sure the Earth produces the Tobacco Plant, and many other things that we classify among the needs of Man, including the “Friendly Cow”—
She walks among the flowers sweet
And chews and chews and chews,
And turns them into friendly meat,
And pleasant boots and shoes.
