BURIED ALIVE FOR THREE DAYS
John Atlas Slept Under Ground Byp-
Noticed Seventy-two Hours.

nOtfZe0 Sc eventy-twO HOURS.
Providence, R. l., Sept. 12.-John Hugh
Gill Atlas. who last Monday was lypDotized
by Prof Watson and buried five feet under
ground, was taken from his grave Thurs
day, after seventy-two ho1rs sleep.
1t was o'clock, twenty minutes before
Prof. Watson had predicted Atlas would
wake unassisted when the men began to re-
move the soil from tile grave. But before
they had completed the work Atlas began
to kick upol the top and sides OF the pine
box. Atlas forgot at first where lie was.
and kicked SO violently that when the box
was opened 1t was fond that he had dislo-
Gated his right knee.
When A tlas was brought to the surface his
pulse was beating but fifteen to the min
ute. He lapsed into a condition that SO
closely resernbled rigor mortis that for a
few minutes the committee feared that he
would not survive. They gave him hypo-
dermic injection Of whisky, and afJerward,
as last resort, an injection of one-one -hun-
dredth Of q grain OF nitroglycerine.
Under this treatment lie recovered suf-
ffciently to permit OF his removal to the
platform, where the air was purer. Atthis
time his pulse was fluctuating between
fifty and seventy-two.
An eggnog was given to him. and he grad
ually grew Stronger. and about twenty min
utes after his removal from the BOX his
temperature stool al 9b.6 degrees.
He was rubbed In alcohol and given q
lightsupper oftea andto2st. and at 6o'ciock
the physicians stated that he had nearly
recovered. Atlas says he has submitted
to the burial experiment for the last time
