3. Go to a sand heap. Stand on it; you sink in. Put a piece of board on
the sand and stand on it; the board does not sink in much. Now turn to
the picture on page 105 {Illustration entitled "Boys of Canada in
Winter"}. You will see a pair of snow-shoes on the snow. A boy's foot

sink in. Find out why. Notice the camel's foot, and tell me why it does
not sink into the sand.
