Around the World.

The time required for traveller tc
circle the earth has been greatly reduced
since the imaginary trip of Jules Verne's
Phileas Fogg, who succeeded in get
ting around the globe in 80 days in spite
Of storms, shipwrecls, Indians and de.
tectives The question how long it would
take now to go around the earth has re.
Gently been discussed in the Antwerp
Geographical society.
The answer given by M. E. de Keysel
was 81 days, including the loss of day
at New York, the journey being made
eastward by way of Yokohama and Sar
Francisco But in the near future this
time is likely to be cut down to 40 days
and perhaps less, through the compile
ton of the railroad across Siberia, which,
at the present rate of progress, may be
open from Europe to the Pacific in 10
years.
With the average railway speed foi
long distances doubled, it is predicted
that i'll the coming century traveller
may be able to go around our planet in
"a days. Youths Companion.
