Carl Athena Taken Out of His Coffin Mono
the Worse for Being 12O Hours
Underground.


Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 25.-Carl
Athena. the hypnotist who was
buried on a vacant lot at Eleventh
and Wyandotte streets last Monday
night, was disinterred at nine o'clock
Saturday night in the presence of
several thousand spectators. The
coffin in which he took his long sleep
was placed on a platform, and six
men lifted his body out and let it
rest on the blankets. An alarm clock
was set off close to his ear, and be-
fore the bell had stopped ringing
Athena began to move. Finally he
opened his eyes, and the six men
lifted him to his feet. The crisp
night air revived him rapidly, and he
tried to talk to the crowd, but it was
so noisy that he was compelled to
give it up, and asked to be taken to
the Baltimore huoteI.
A doctor took Atheno's pulse and
found it registered at so. When he
was inferred last Monday night his
pulse was rs. At the hotel his tenn
perature showed 100. His upper lip
was split in the center from the dry
ness of the earth, and he had lost
probably 20 pounds.
Athena was given bath at the
hotel, after which he sat down to a
lunch consisting of three spoonfuls
of milk and one-half of a cracker. He
continued this diet for "a hours,
gradually increasing the quantity of
milk and food.
