Rolling Round The World.

The May Wide World Magazine says
There seems TO be no limit TO the
foolish things some people will do for
the sake of a wager. Early in 1910
two Venetian brothers, named Wan.
clio, blacksmiths by trade, made bet
that they would travel round the
world in a barrel During the month
of June they set out from Venice
and later arrived at Berlin, where they
received an enthusiastic reception.
The barrel was a special construction
open at the end, and having perch
inside so constructed as to remain
always upright. On this one brother
sits while the other trundles the bar
rel along. Food is stored along the
sides, and at night, if no other shelter
is available, both brothers sleep in
their queer rolling home. They es-
innate that the trip round the world
will occupy at least twelve years, so
that they have some nine years of
barrel-trundling to do before they can
claim their bet.
