AROUND THE WORLD IN 33 DAYS. MT. Phileas Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days,' made his bet in 1873 that he would accomplish that feat, or it was in that year that the book was publish ed in this country; and he laid down his possible itinerary in this wise:

 Brindisi, by rail and steamboat. ' From Suez to Bombay, steamer ..,. 13 From Bombay to Calcutta, by rail :. 3 From Calcutta to Hong Kong, by From Yokohama to San Francisco,

FASHION NOTES,
Sense In Dinner Gowns,

The current dinner dress is a much more practical matter than it used to be, and is finely suited to the dinner that takes one on long street car ride in dinner rig. Its plain cloth skirt cut modishly but without trimming, and its snug jacket to match, with the merest trace of elaboration at the col lar, attract no attention from passeng
 CTS bent on other affairs. Under the jacket is bodice of the cloth, elaborat- ed, cut low to show beautiful yoke of lace spangles, embroidery or frlllery, and very likely slit well down on the shoulders to show sleeve continuation of the same yoke. When this is fully disclosed it proves as harmonious with

won his wagersof e2O000; but, as wa
 afterward explained, he really made tn
 trip in seventy days, for, withou
 knowing it, he had gained one day il his journey by travelling eastward while he would have lost day if he had gone in the opposite direction. Al that time this loss of q day would have meant the loss to him of the G20,000.
 In the twenty-six years which have passed since then his journey has been 1 made so easily possible far within that | time that MT. Fogg could not now hope to get any intelligent man to take the bet he then made, By the con- struction of the Siberian railroad across the Asiatic continent, connecting Eu- ropean Russia with the Pacific. the | time requisite for a trip around the world will be less than one-half of eighty days.
 l In the Verne schedule, seven days were allotted to the journey across our own continent from San Franicsco to New York. Within three years after 1873 it was made in less than four days from Jersey City to San Francisco by what was known at that time as the Jarret & Palmer train, made up of q combination passenger car, mail and baggage car and a Pullman dining car. The train left Jersey City on June 1 and arrived at San Francisco on June 4, in S3 hours 39 minutes and 16 seconds, instead of the seven days computed by Phileas Fogg. His schedule of nine days between New York and London has also been reduced greatly. The dis tance from New York to Queenstown, 2,810 knots, has been covered in five days and eight hours.
 The largest reduction from the Verne schedule of 1873 has been made, or is to be made, in another part of the circuit of the globe. Here is the official an- nouncement by the Russian minister of railroads of the time which will be re- quired for journey around the earth when the Trans-Siberian railroad is. compIeted

 By this route of travel, too, the dan- gers of loss of time because of causes from which Phileas Fogg suffered would be comparatively few and slight. His trip was not in a straight line, but entailed detour through the Suez can- al and a steamer trip from India to China, and consequently the risk of ir- in the running of the Oriental steamers and the missing of close connections. The new route is far less complicated and much more certain. About four-fifths of Phileas Fogg's journey was by sea. By this l Russian route the time at sea is reduc- ed to ten days on the Pacific and seven | days on the Atlantic, the rest being | accurately calculable by railroad time. | The greatest single stretch will be by | the Trans-Siberian railroad.-New York | Sun.
