A WORLD WALK.

There was staying in the East of London!® recently the ‘ ‘ Champion Walker of the World”—Anton Hansliau —who started from Vienna on September 13, 1900, and has since covered nearly 39,000 miles. He arrived in Loudon wheeling his little teu-year-old daughter on a curious three-wheeled perambulator. After travelling with him as far as Sunderland, his wife died of consumption less than a mouth ago. Inter- ■ viewed by a Daily Chronicle representative M. Hauslian said : “I am doing this for a wager, and I shall win it. When we started from Vienna my little daughter was only three years old, and, whenever possible,;; I wheeled her and my wife in the perambulator. The load is lighter now, for my wife died in Sunderland at the beginning of the mouth. Seven years ago I know no language, but German. Now I khow enough, of S 3 to make myself well understood. We have crossed North and South America, Africa, Australia, China, and after leaving London for Dover, we cross to Ostond, and make our way back to Vienna, having completed a tour of 30,000 miles.” When in Arizona the party was four days without water, and nearly succumbed. Once they w r ere attacked by wolves, which wore driven back by the man using a gun and the woman firing a revolver. In Tennessee the perambulator broke down when Hauslian had only two shillings to his name. Over a sovereign was wanted for repairs, and it took him three days to sell enough picture postcards to get the money. Then the party had to start on their journey without breakfast. Of all the people of the world with whom they came in contact, the Red Indians, Hauslian says, treated them best. Night after night the travellers slept in their wigwams free of cost, and were generally treated with the greatest hospitalty. In China lie w T as arrested as' a spy. The best roads encountered were in England, and the worst in South and West America. Altogether Hauslian has worn out over 100 pairs of boots in his wanderings.
