by the dread alarm, we we're brought of
sudden to the fiery test? Let US hear
what some well-known people have to say
in response TO this question.

JULES VERNE OUTDONE.

Twenty-three years have passed
since Jules Verne introduced us to the
first glObe-trOtter, who Travelled
around the world in eighty days The
problem which the members OF the
London Travellers Club solved with
utmost difficulty by allowing for the
difference of twenty-four hours time
has since been surpassed.
From January 1, 1900, all previous
records will be a thing of the past. On
that day the last tie will be laid on the
new Siberian Railway, bringing with
it change in the worlds traffic, which
had it's prototype only in the opening
of the Suez canal.
Another English gentleman of the
Jules Verne stripe will leave London
on the first day OF the month, reaching
the Russian metropolis by the North
ern express, via OStende-Berlin, IN
forty-eight hours. At that point he
will take the Siberian Overland train
This will traverse the distance of $500
miles at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, or in $50 hours arriving at
VIadivostock, the main port OF the
Russian Pacific coast, in twelve days
and seven hours after leaving London.
At VIadivostock he will embark on one
of the steamers of the new passenger
line, which is to be founded before
the year closes by Russian-American
capitalists. Seventeen days later he
will reach London in ten days, having
circumpassed the globe in thlrty-n1ne
days, or less than half the time which
Jules Verne allowed to his wager
loving BritOn.
There Will be revolution in the cost
of travelling around the world. The
least for which it can be done now is
$500. including board on steamers.
With the new century the cost will
be reduced to $500 including meals on
steamers. but minus sleeping car fare
and meals on land. All together the
traveller will spend twenty-five days
on the water. as against sixty days vie
the Suez canal and India.
