BURIED ALIVE AND MAY DIE.
Victim of Fake Hypnotism Drunk In
His Grave.


A man going by the name OF Beno
allowed himself to be buried alive by
a man named Mars, an aeronaut, at
Elko, New, a few days ago, and after
living for two days in his tomb he
was taken from the place in an uncon-
scious condition and will probably die
from the effects of his experience.
A small tube reached from the top
of his coffin to the top of the grave
and the populace of Elko were charged
10 cents to look upon the man buried
alive. Mars was supposed to be I'M
der a hypnotic spell and carried his
part out we'll until afternoon, when
he was seen to be struggling in his
casket and gasping for breath. 1t APP
pears that he had been supplied with
whisky through a tube by which he
had been fed and had become drunk.
He rolled against the tube and all air
was shut out from the grave.
A farmer looking through the tube
saw Beno struggling for air, and with
a number of companions Immediately
dug him out of the tomb, but not pc
fore he was nearly dead.

Fish skins for Clothing.

The government fish commission has
been making investigations about the
suitability OF fish skins for clothing.
1t has been found that salmon skins
make excellent leather and have been
used for boots by the Eskimo for this
purpose for years. These northern
people also use tanned Goldfish for
coats and waterproof garments. The
fish commission has also found that
whaleskin makes beautiful leather and
takes color well.

WHAT HAVE WE ZONE TO-DAY :?

We shall do much in the years to come,
But what have done to-day?
We shall give our gold in a princey sum,
But what did give to-day?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear
We shall speak the words OF love and cheer,
But what did speak to-day2
We shall be so kind In the aftera-while,
But what have we been to-day2
We shall bring to each lonely life smile,
But what have we brought today
We shall give to truth n grander BIRTH
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth.
But whom have we fed to-day
We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
But what have we sown today
We shall build mansions In the sky,
But what have we built today?
IT'S sweet in idle dreams to bask,
But here and do we Go our task2
Yes, this is the thing soul must ask,
What have we done to-dayT

Hot weather prevails over the greater
portion of the United States, according
to reports received at the weather bu-
reau at Washington. Apparently there
is no immediate relief in sight except
through local thunder storm in several
scattered sections. Throughout the
west the reports Indicate increasing
hot weather. The humidity is high all
over the Atlantic coast from New Eng
land to Florida, and the prospect is
that 1t will continue so two or three
days with northeast to south winds.

n WANT you to tell me what has
become of Colonel Durand," said
Lady Waters, about a fortnight
before Christmas, and her disappoint-
ment Was perfectly unmlstakable when
expressed my inability to enlighten
her.
Every other person l meet Is ask
Ing the same question" l returned.
II can't understand it in the least"
she continued. II confess l begin to
feel immensely uneasy. 1 even went
as far as to call at his house---"
Wasn't he at home?"
AT all events, his man admitted he
was in London. l met him three
weeks ago at dinner at Mrs. Norcutt's,
and he kept us all amused the whole
evening. Mrs. Norcutt was saying af-
forwards that no one could possibly be-
neve he had son who must be near
H 3d.
"By the bye" l asked, isn't Cap

Waters. Yes" she added, Colonel
Durand is certainly the youngest look
ing man for his age in London-and
one Of the handsomest and pleasant
est But 1 can't understand what has
happened to him"
"Oh, WELL" l suggested, perhaps
he has run down bit, and prefers to
lie low"
HE was engaged to dine with me
two days after l met him at Mrs Nor
cults" she explained, and his letter

"Ye-eS," she answered, and q short
silence followed. "He must be alone

Lady Waters continued.

Il am not certain of anything" she
cried. II feel extremely uncertain
Here Is one Of the most popular men
in society, who suddenly puts off all
his engagements-refus to see any
body, doesn't even write his letters

of his servants; they have evidently
received special instructions Now"
Lady Waters added. II want you to
clear the matter up"

Lady Waters, although In the present
case 1t seemed difficult to see how it
was possible to crafty her. AS had
explained, she was by no means the
only person to wonder what had oc-
Cured In connection with Durand, who
had in effect suddenly disappeared
from his friends.
After considerable reflection the only
feasible plan appeared to be q jour
ney to his house In Manchester street,
where he had lived alone since his
wife's death, over four years ago.
There more than once | had been en-
tertained at his small and very select
parties, than which none in London
were more enjoyable.

Well" said Lady Waters, 1T can't
pretend to be satisfied. One hears of
the strangest things Why should
Colonel Durand refuse to receive any
body? Why doesn't he write his own
letters2 No one outside his own house

must admit the affair has mysterious
appearance"
l did not dispute the statement for
an instant, although l had no doubt
the colonel had some excellent reason
for his retirement. In my case, l did
not see my way to take any further
steps In the matter, and, indeed, both
Lady Waters and myself were on the

"As far as can gather" she re-
turned, no one has seen him. He has
