To Be Buried Alive.

Carl Athena, the young nan who is
to bury himself at Kansas City for six
days, SAID Tuesday that he had made all
arrangements 10 be buried next Mon
day evening, There is no law TO
prevent any scientific experiment that
a man wishes TO subject himself to-,
but he visited the officers at the CITY
hall to make sure that no Objection
would be made.
Athena says his condition will be
cataleptic while he is under ground.
There will be a tube running into the
cofin with three thIcknesses OF glass
and an electric light just above hi,
head. With this exception he will br
buried under six feet of earth exactly
as if he were dead. The coffin Is
larger than is ordinarily used, large
enough to allow him 144 cubic of air.
He says he breathes S o little that a
cubic foot of air will last him an hour
while he is in the catalcptic state, bu'
should he wake up during the expert
mcnt it would be necessary for those
ABOVE to break the glass in order tc
give him air. The heart and lungs d.
not suspend action entirely, but then
action runs very low, h. SAYS.
