Smith or RidEewoea Has Travelled 1851 S0
Hailes In His Daily Journeyn.

A~e ooos OF
Miles In Els Daily Journeys.
A party Of Jersey commuters seated In the
smoking car of an Erie train the other day fell
to discussing the distance they cover commut.
ing and began to do some figuring on It. The
results arrived at were both startling and In.
teresting. In this party was o man who lives at
Ridgewood-call him Smith. He was the Oldest
by q few years. and for twenty-six years had
travelled six days q week to New York and re-
turn. This record beat that Of the other COM
muters OF the party by many years. and 1t was
agreed to figure out just how great q distance
Smith had travelled.
Taking the distance to Ridgewood at twenty.
three miles. making ~forty-six miles railroad
travel a day. they found that Smith travelled
regularly 276 miles . week. At 276 miles q
week 1t was found that the Ridgewood man had
been covering 1882 miles a year, or enough to
maketwo trips to Europe q year and still havo
2,192 miles at his disposal.
At 1882 miles a year it was figured that
Smith had travelled the enormous distance of
3o3,l52 miles In. twenty-six years. This result
was received with doubt by several in the party.
and the ngures were gone over again with the
same result. Then Smith, who had been fiRur.
Ing while the others were discussing the results
or their work, announced that II he was to un.
deItake to cover In one continuous trip what It
mad taken hin twenty-six years to cover 1t
and eighty days constant travel. Taking
q 600 miles as the distance around the world,
smith IN twenty-six years bias travelled enough
earth, with 1889 miles ITO burn" as one Of
the young commuters put 1t.
Smith would have spent over $1,000 IN KS
Iwenty.six years. but with the advantage Of
