Sida 104 - Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
Sida 100 - ... purity. Congelation expels both salts and air from water, whether existing below, or formed in, the atmosphere ; and in the high and uninhabited regions of glaciers, there can scarcely be any substances to contaminate.
