low, whining voice through the lines of the

tered until back in 1890, when George
Francis Train made the trip in CT days IL
hours minutes. A few months previous
Nellie BLY, had accomplished the journey in
70 days hours II minutes IA seconds.
She left New York on November IA, 1889,
and completed the circuit January 25, 1890.
And that takes the story back to Phileas
Fogg, the man who started the argument
and defied the world.
Daniel e. Bidwell is the only tourist to
claim the championship by the westward
route. In 1911 he made the trip in AZ days
~ hours, via Montreal, Vancouver, Yoko-
hama, Viadivostok, Moscow, Dover and
back to New York.
Besides these followers of the demon
Speed, there are many others whose one
claim to fame is successful journey
around the world using some freak method
of transportation. Only last winter a
Dutch painter passed through New York,
painting his way around the world. He
was two years out from port and still had
three more years in which to finish his
stint and earn large prize He was
handicapped by certain restrictions, which
required that he could pay his way only by
money gained from selling his canvases.
On July 2S, 1911, bicyclist named Pank-
ratow started on trip around the world
from Hardin, Manchuria. He finished the
trip on August 1C, 1913, having ridden
around the world in 2 years and IS days.
The number of professional and amateur
vagabonds who have worked their way
around the world would probably reach an
astounding total. The amateurs are by far
the more interesting brand of the species.
Generally they are college students, who
are given to making hasty wagers. Sitting
around with group of fellows some quiet
evening, when there isn't much to talk
about one of them breaks out with:
well, guess I'll start around the world
tomorrow"
Modern Contestants Often
Stop at Hoboken, N. ].
He takes all wagers and resigns from
college the next morning. If he passes
He'll Gate on the fly, he is good for the
entire circuit. More often he comes to his
senses before reaching Hoboken and all
bets are off.
The Giants and White Sox once staged
an around the world transforming tour
that broke several records that had for
merly been regarded as sacred. About the
same time the automobile industry staged
world race that gave the newspapers a
running story for several weeks. As we
remember the latter event, it developed \
chiefly into snow-shovelling party through
Siberia.
The aviation industry has yet to an
nounce the details Of its first "As the Grow
Flies Contest" But this Is the race that
will ultimately bring down the figures, let
the days fall where they may.
Meanwhile there is the chance for any
enterprising citizen to locate Bagdad on
the map and start for Yokohama, using
Mesopotamia as a pivot. 1t might work
and it might not. At least the venture
would provide thrilling details for world
that never tires Of holding the stop-watch.

TIME world has two great passions.
One is seeing records made and the
other is seeing them broken. From
pie-eating contests to parachute jumping
the world loves anything that has flavor
of sport.
When Jules Verne conceived his purely
fctional venture, around the World in
Eighty Days" he established what he con-
sidered an international record. Others
might vie with the figures, but the accom-
plishment of PhileaS Fogg was calculated
to stand firmly throughout the ages.
But NJ. Verne reckoned without the con-
trivance of Man or the spirit of his sports
manship. Merely seeing a record hung on
the wall is not enough for most persons.
Immediately it has to be broken. And by
to-day PhiledS FoggS record has been
broken so many times that only few per
sons remember $50 days as anything more
than an abbreviated Jail sentence
Back in 1889 Nellie BLY, started the op-
position by clipping days, II hours, As
minutes and As seconds off the record of
the redoubtable PhiledS. Others kept plug
ging at the mark until 1913, when John
Henry Mears set up new figure of So days,
81 hours, 50 minutes and four-ifths of
second for his round the world excursion.
