Physicians Unable To Arouse Miss
Bessie Knecht, of Salt Lake CITY.

Bessie kneeht, of Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City, March 3O-The phys
icians OF this city are at a loss to ac-
count for the condition of Miss Bessie
Knecht, aged %, who for the past 90
days has been asleep. During that
time the young lady has not spoken a
word nor had, to all appearance. a
waking moment. She lies with closed
eyes, breathing naturally day after
day, and night after night. AT long
intervals she raises her eyelids a little
but never opens them. When tapped
on the forehead she is seemingly an
noyed, but gives no other evidence of
consciousness. She is fed at suitable
intervals with liquid food which she
swallows automatically. The phys
icians believe that should her present
condition continue, she will pass from
sleep into death. thru exhaustion of the
vital forces.

Tests have recently been made on
the Boston q Maine and the Florida
East Coast railroads to determine the
value of oil as fuel for locomotive en-.
Gincs. On the Florida railroad It was
found. after months experimenting
with locomotive hauling its regular
load. that 1928 gallons OF oil did the
work of one ton of coal Another test
showed 1918 gallons OF oil to be equiv
alent to ton Of coal. In the Boston
& Maine experiments the ratio was
LOGS gallons Of oil TO one ton of coal.
II was found that the engine could be
urged 10 a greater capacity with oil
than with coal and this with a smoke
less fire.
