AGGREGATE MAl AS A WAL..-.
He Takes a stroll of 10000 Niles Every
Second.


From the London Mail: II the az
eraSe old man of comparatively se.en-
tary habits were told that during his
life he had walked as many miles as
would compass the earth at the equator
six times he would probably be much
surprised. And yet such pedestrian
effort only represents an average. walk
CT six miles day for a period OF
sixty-eight years. Similarly, the man
who is content with the daily average
walk of four miles will consider him
self an athlete on learning that every
year he walks a distance equal to
trip from London to Athens. When
one considers the aggregate walking
records of the world, the figures are
even more surprising. Assuming that
each individual averages a four-mi;e
walk day tand this cannot be con-
sidered an extravagant estimate when
enc remembers that Thomas Phipps
of bingham has walked 10000 miles
on postal duty alone), the startling
conelus on is arrived at that the world
covers journey of 69,44 miles every
time the clock ticks, night and day.
This means that the worlds walking
record for second of time is equal
to two trips around the equator and
more than thirteen jaunts between
London and Naples. Ever minute
the aggregate man walks a distance
equal to eight return trips to the moon,
supplemented by over fifteen walks
around the earth's waist. In an hour
he could walk as far as the sun and
back again. take a trip to the moon

leaving himself stroll of 1870, 900 miles
to finish the cigar he lit at the COM
mencement of his journey of sixty min
utes. But considering the rate of his
progress. it is probable that even a
slow smoker might require second
cigar before finishing the walk. In a
single year the aggregate man walks a
distance of 2,190,000, 100000 miles
which. after all, inconceivab.y great
as 1t is, would take him less than one
eleventh part Of the way to the nearest
fixed star. 1t is well for the aggregate
mans exchequer that he walks these
distances instead of covering them by
rail. At the rate of penny mile, the
worlds annual walk would cost f9,125,-
100000, or ten times as much god as
is current throughout the entire world.
To purchase a ticket for this distance
it would be necessary to mortgage tha

Brockton's prosperity is so closely allied
to the prosperity of the shoe industry that it
will, no doubt. prove a matter of interest to
large number of people TO learn the actual
average earning capacity of each individual
employed in the making of the wOrld-famed
Brockton shoe. For illustration: At the fac
torg of the w. L. Douglass Shoe Company the
pay roll for the week ending Sept, %, exclud;;
ing superintendent, foremen, statesmen and
allclerical help, shows the average earnings
of the employees, large and small, to be Sl5.5i
per week. This was not an extraordinary
week 1t was the customary payroll.
The amount earned per week, however
does not always tell the story of prosperity.
The number of weeks employed each year is
the'determining factor in the wage .earners'
prosperity. The Douglass factory has been
closed but one week this year, and that for
the usual summer stock taking, and it will be
closed but three days the latter part of De-
eember This would make but nine days out
of the year that the factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work as the most industri-
GUS shoemaker could desire.
Owing to increased business another addi-
ton is to be made to the Douglass factory
1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet wide, and five
stories high. 1t will be ready for occupancy
early in December. This addition increases
the capacity % per cent. The w. l.. Douglass
Shoe Company has the largest factory in the
world, producing an advertised line S3.D and
50 90 shoes.
Mr.. Douglass says that the prospect for sue
cessful business for Brockton manufacturers
was never so good as now, and that collections
are better than for years.
