       “The novel is also notable for containing one of the few serious depictions in literature of a protagonist falling all the way through the Earth.”https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Barrier

       @klintron G. K. Chesterton in "St. Francis of Assisi""We used to be told in the nursery that if a man were to bore a hole through the centre of the earth and climb continually down and down, there would come a moment at the centre when he would seem to be climbing up and up. I do not know whether this is true. The reason I do not know whether it is true is that I never happened to bore a hole through the centre of the earth, still less to crawl through it."
