suspending II from the top Of the elevator
shaft was cut it dropped down the no

air chamber with a crash. The compress
sion shattered the glass, three-quarters of
an inch thick, in the doors in the base
ment leading into the shaft. The marble
framework over the door was blown out.
The air chamber is 26 feet deep. with a
valve that allows a gradual escape of the
air as soon as the compression begins
In the elevator were fifteen eggs, se+-
eTal glasses of water, and TWO incaudes>

water was spilled from one of the glasses
and several eggs were broken by 4 large
section of plaster torn from the inside OF
the shaft by the rush Of air following the
drop The electTic-light bulbs and two
large mirrors in the elevator were not IL
