Explanation Of Otherwise Inexplica.
BILE Elevator Accidents.

VIC GtCVdtOT ACCtOCnCS.
Scimitar man ran across party
of Memphis men in the Office of the
Arlington, and they We're talking about
elevator accidents. In the party was
Engineer Ed Cheatham of the city en-
gineer's corps, who said:
Every year there are hundreds of
elevator accidents, and very few of
them are from the breaking of cables
or brakes. The majority of the
cases on record can be traced to this
one fact: The victim stepped into
the shaft. Now, why on earth would a
sane man do such thing? Why he
simply thought he saw the elevator
car in its accustomed place, and when
he stepped on what he thought was
solid floor he went to his death. The
first of these remarkable elevator &C
cidents that was ever noticed came to
light in the mining regions of Color
ado. Years ago | was out in that sec
ton of the country engineering for
different companies, and, in regard to
these accidents, | speak from what
actually saw. The first accident of
this kind | ever heard of was in one
of the deep silver mines of Leadville,
Colo.
"One of the oldest men in the en-
ploy of the company, man who had
been following mining for half his
life, and knew this mine as he knew
the streets Of Leadville, ran a car of
ore over the edge Of the shaft on the
third level, and was dragged down to
the bottom with it. He was mott tally
injured, but before he died he told
the doctor that he saw the cage at
the shaft.
Since that time there have been
any number of accidents OF like ma
ture in the mines out west. Some
times the victims were all killed DIT
once, but those who survived always
swore that they saw the cage.
have talked to old miners, and they
say they dread nothing more than the
ghost of the cage They say that it
comes to men who have worked all
their lives In the mines. In fact, the
longer a man has worked in a deep
mine the more apt he is to see the
ghost of the cage
80, taking it altogether, firmly be-
lieve that those who lose their lives
by stepping into open elevator shafts
really see the elevator car. 1t IS one
of the most fatal optical illusions in
the world but such it must be. The
victim has become accustomed to see
ing the cage at the shaft when he
needs it, and the picture of it is fixed
on his brain. When the fatal step is
taken that sends him to death he real
ly sees 1.-THE ghost of the cage. -
