"There, down there, where all that rus' looks so red and bright, that's the gas-works." "What's gas?" asked the little boy. "Oh, a hairy sort of nothin' what you put in balloons to make 'em go up. And you used to burn it till the 'lectricity come." The little boy tried vainly to imagine gas on the basis of these particulars. Then his thoughts reverted to a previous topic.
