People about Deepwood, in Neva-
da, are wondering how long the body Of
Louis Dorsey, which is now exposed
under glass in the cemetery, will re-
tain its lifelike freshness. ''Dorsey's
tomb" is now one Of the sights there.
The tomb, cut from Carthage gran
ite. is about ten feet long, five feet
wide and Eve feet high. In its centre
the coffin is incased around by twelve
inches of solid stone, which makes it
air-tight. On the top is q revolving
stone, cut in the shape Of Bible,
which in turning can be made to re-
veal or conceal glass pane. Through
the glass pane the embalmed body Of
Dorsey is plainly visible. The widow,
who designed the tomb, used the in
surance money on his life to carry out
the work. Up to the present time TIE
body preserves the freshness of life.

the track. She thea perceived it to
be locomobile, and becoming con-
fused she, instead Of standing still,
attempted to run across the narrow
roadway in front Of it. Mr.. Miller,
who was steering the machine, turned
quickly out Of the way, but not be-
fore Miss Miles had collided with the
rear wheel. The hub struck her on
the hip, throwing her violently to the
ground. Columbia State.
