Wishing your magazine years of success, I am
Your reader, R.R.
PHILA., Jan. 25th., 1897.
DEAR EDITOR:
I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much, and anticipate
their coming.
I receive them from my auntie of New York City. She reads them
first, and then sends them to me.
They are very enjoyable, and as I am just in the interesting
part of school, they help me very much. Perhaps you would like
to know where Maywood is. It is a suburb of Chicago.
A very pretty place, and so much nicer than living in the city,
because here we have fresh air and green grass.
Would you not rather live in the country?
We have a park here which is kept in order by the town
authorities. This winter they have flooded it, and made a very
nice skating pond, which is free to all.
So after school hours we boys and girls have a bonny time.
Hoping to receive an answer, I remain,
Yours affectionately, HELEN Z.C.
P.S.--These "Sylvia's Caramels" you speak of in No. 3 are what
we call "Fudges."
They are _very_ nice. We make them often.
MAYWOOD, ILL., Jan. 25th, 1897.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE GREAT ROUND WORLD:
I am an enthusiastic reader of your most interesting little
paper, and would like you to send me a "Who? When? and What?"
chart.
I am up in the mountains for the winter, and there is fine
skating and tobogganing here, and I have also a fine big snow
house. We belong to the "Pontiac Club," and can therefore skate
whenever we want. Wishing your paper much success. I remain
Your fond reader, SEYMOUR U.P.
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y., Jan. 22d, 1897.
In reply to questions from Miss Lena Penn:
George du Maurier died in London, October 8, 1896, of heart disease.
There is a statue of Hans Christian Andersen in the market-place of
Copenhagen. He was the author of the famous Fairy Tales which have given
so much pleasure to so many millions of children.
If there are any statistics of the population of the earth since Adam, we
are unaware of them.
The population of the earth, estimated in 1891, was 1,487,900,000.
At the death of the Emperor Augustus, the population of the earth was
estimated at 54,000,000.
DEAR MR. EDITOR:
My father receives your little paper, THE GREAT ROUND
WORLD, every week. I like it real well, and all the rest of
the people and children I have let take one of the copies liked
it so well I let them take more copies. I think it a very nice
little paper, and wish you success. I send you the following
extract, taken from "Wit and Wisdom," showing that the X-rays
are not a recent discovery altogether.
