At pleasures cali, an evenings passing wealth.
One night when feasting friends my table round.

The cannon roared-another song we sang
Another toast to thrice victorious France

CALLED BACK FROM DEATH.
Strange Experience of IA California
Mans Suspended Animation.
San Francisco Cal


A singular incident fraught with much
interest, especially to students of psychol-
ogy, has just occurred in Santa Monica.
Similar instances have been recorded. but
none where the circumstances were more
wildly impressive.
In a little cottage in the suburbs live
William Graham, his pretty girl-wife, and
their two-year-old son. Consumption has
claimed Graham for a victim, and for
months has been taking his life. AS long
as he could he labored to provide for his
family, but for weeks he has been in the
last stages of the disease and suffering
intensely. Ten days ago his physician said
his hours We're numbered. and last Saturday
night it was apparent that the end was
near. Neighbors and friends were then
doubly attentive, to render any possible
service to him and to comfort the poor lit
tie wife who is momentarily expecting a
summons to go down into the valley and
shadow Of death for another little life.
Graham suffered intensely, and it is idle
to describe the CHASTITY occurrences, the
labored breathing, the clammy sweat, and
that last, strangling struggle that is SO
dreadful to hear from loved one; All
were present, and when the last breath
had left the body, the little woman was
told that it was over, and was taken from
the room. An undertaken was summoned
from the village, and, with the nurse was
beginning arrangements to care for the
stiffening body.
Fully twenty minutes had elapsed when
the frenzied wife, breaking away from re-
straining friends, rushed to the bier and
caught the body in her arms, screaming
to her loved one TO come Dack ana not
leave her. 1t was some minutes before she
could be persuaded to release him. and then
it was noticed that a slight shudder ran
through the body. The frantic wife worked
heroically; restoratives, massage every
thing within her reach was applied, and
within an hour Graham was able to speak.
And now comes the strange part of the
story. OF course, the practical ones will
say that it was a case of suspended ami
nation, and that the wifes movements
started the dying circulation. But there
were in the room people of wide experience
who declare that the man was dead, and
William Graham himself says that he went
out Of this life and journeyed into another
country-one that was far more beautiful
than this.
He describes a beautiful road lined with
stately trees. whose verdure was brilliant
and wonderful to see; strains of music were
in the air, and along the pathway came
his father to meet him. He tells of their
greeting and conversation, and then of his
being torn away. called back to his worn
and aching body by the insistent calls of
his wife.
II cannot live anyway. Oh, why didn't
YOU let me go?' he exclaimed. And now
he is longing and waiting for the call that
must come soon again.

Few persons VINO have given but passing
attention to the dry dock discussion are
sess eleven dry docks 1t is unfortunately
true, however, that but three can accom-
modate the largest battle ships. Even if
ten new dry docks should be added to our
present number the total would seem nsig-
nificant when compared with the S4S owned
by Great Britain. The dry docks of the
world number 622 1t is thus seen that
England has more than one-half of the
worlds total. She possesses ten in Aus
tralia fifteen in China, thirty in India and
