SCIENTIFIC.--Could you kindly tell me what "the Great Ice Age" means?
My Pater took me to hear some fellow lecture about it the other day,
but I couldn't understand much of what he said. I thought he was going
to talk about strawberry ices and lemon ices, which I like awfully,
but he didn't even mention them! Don't you think _twelve_ is the great
Ice Age--I mean the age when boys ought to be allowed to eat as many
as they like? N.B.--I am just twelve.
