Man BURIED ALIVE SLEEPS ON
HUNDREDS VISIT GRAVE" OF
CoLMAN S. McRAE.
Hypnotized Friday Night, He Is to
Stay Underground for
Ten Days.

Hundreds yesterday visited the grave of
Colman S. McRae.
And it is one of the strangest Of all
graves. No green sod covers the well
rounded mound of earth which marks it.
The tombstone rising at the foot Of the
mound is of wood and hollow. so visitors
can gaze down five feet under ground and.
with the aid of an electric light. see the
face of the buried man. There are no
evergreen or weeping willow trees GER
hanging, but, instead, a gaudy red and
white awning.
Catching a glimpse of the mound and
tombstone. one passing near moves closer
to hear the funeral eulogy. but the words
from the man wearing pink shirt. red
necktie.' tweed trousers and tan shoes
Startle the auditor
Step up, ladies and gents, and see the
man buried alive!'
Man Buried Alive.
That explains the lack of white roses
and teardrops around the grave. for the
man was buried alive
With solemn ceremonies he was inferred
between Loves Voyage on one side and a
merry-go-round on the other on the
grounds Of Luna Park Friday. Incl

significance in the fact that the exit from
Love S Voyage is near the snake exhibit
McRae, who was hypnotized by Bundha
kupparoW Friday evening and buried
alive for ten days, still lies under five
feet of earth. while hundreds. view his
face through the tube that looks like a
tombstone and then turn to cavort on the
carrousel. And the professor of hypnotism
promises that McRae will rise from that
grave when it is opened up ten days hence
and himself turn to enjoy a ride on the
merry-go-round.
Hair Is Growing.
While McRae is saving on his board, he
is preparing for visit to a manicure
and barber shop, with financial loss, when
he leaves his grave. For although he
eats nothing during his occupancy of six
feet of earth five feet under ground, his
hair and fingernails will grow just the
same
If surroundings have any influence on
the dreams of the buried sleeper many
visitors to the grave have conjectured
young McRae must have visions of being
out night with the boys. for on one side
of the grave is the carrousel, with its up
and-doWn and never-Straight motion, and
on the other Is the snake exhibition.
The boa constructor, it is explained by
his keeper, has the best of the buried
sleeper in the cost of his board. While
McRae will not need e meal ticket for
ten days, Mr.. Boa will not eat for ten
weeks. His meals are two or three months
apart.

CRUISERS SUPERIORITY.
Striking Article in Paris Paper {
the Indomitable.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, June 6.-The immense superb
GRITTY of the new British armored cruiser
Indomitable is dwelt upon in a striking
article in the Matin. which maintains that
she is the only ship capable of forcing an
engagement or refusing to fight. She
greatly reduces the value of the armored
cruisers of all other navies. Owing to her
heavier guns and greater protection she
could keep such a distance from the three
best French, Japanese and American yes
sells of the same type that while her own
fire would be perfectly effective she
would be invulnerable to their fire. In
deed, the Indomitable could match her
self against most of the French and Ger
man battleships in commission, and is
superior to some of the British.
The Matin adds that the commissioning
of the Indomitabe is the condemnation OF
all the French armored cruisers. includ-
ing even those still on the stocks. None
of them would have the slightest chance
in an engagement with her. nor could any
of them escape fight, owing to their de-
ficiency in speed.
The article concludes thus: Germany
and Japan are each constructing two ar
mored cruisers equal in value to the In
domitable. What are We doing"
