hind schedule time. Came from Cal
cutta to this place by the famous cs ~
onlt line. There was delay Of several ss
minutes in cutting the cable that hsld
the spring down at the western era !,
the line. A sacred white elephant wa,
standing on the trap and nobody lkel
to take the liberty of asking him +
move off.
Sitka, Alaska, 11:50-The Chinese :,
Hong Kong have their old-time hatred
Of foreign devils. They fired me ont Of
there by the i'rojectile route to Kan.
ohatka where took the Electric Tobo,.
gan slide. Came from PetronaulovsH
to this place in a large hollow cicle, tbe
slide being laid across Behring Strait
which is fortunately frozen over. Tina
icicle was very much worn and hapgah
by the time it got here. Only ten min.
utes now to get to Chicago.
Sitka, ll:50- Haven't got away from
here yet. Went out and caught seal
and had Geld while waiting Have
just made bet of 500 I'll 60 through
on time.
Chicago, l2 m. Was delayed at Sitsa
till 1859 in consequence OF slight
change in the time table. Stepped into
the alright tube of the Great Overland
Rubber Band Airline route at that ey.
act moment, the catch was loosed. and
the gigantic elastic rope, made Of the
best Para rubber and stretched tots ut
most tension, whisked me across the
country. more than $500 miles in a d.
rect line, in the twinkling of an eye
Reached here with more than half a
minute to spare.
1t isn't a difficult job to go around the
glcbc in sixty minutes. All you need
beside your ticket is fan, an overcOal
a bottle of lung balsam and small
bottle of the other kind of balsam to
counteract the effect of sudden changes
of climate.
Any body can go round the world IN
sixty minutes.
In the old fogy days of 1890, two hun
bred years ago, it was thought won
1erful thing to make the trip seventy
two DAYS. six hours and eleven minutes
This only shows that the people Of 'n'
bygone age were not really sensible Oh
their misery. They thought they were
pretty smart. Let us regard them my
countrymen, with feelings OF sincere
compassion rather than contempt
