The London Daily Mail says If an

ing at any rate up to 1000 miles an
hour a traveller in 1t. starting westward
from London at speed of ego miles

Should he find his unending day mo-
notOnOus. he could reverse his direc-
ton and get a quick succession Of
short days and nights of some six
hours duration. but he could regulate
the length by the speed of his ma
chine. Suppose he Travelled from Lon
don one night at 10 o'clock westward
at a speed OF 1000 miles per hour. He
would soon experience the sensation
of seeing the sun rising in the west
