the rows a foot to eighteen inches apart,

ELECTRICITY CAN'T TEASE HIM
Eighteen Hundred Volts shot Int n
Man without Apparent
Eject.

At a private exhibition in a small room
at 1916 Broadway, New York, Charles Quill,
a man of % years, allowed himself to be
strapped into an electric chair, similar to
the one in Sing Sing prison, and a direct
current of electricity drawn from a nearby
feed wire vas turned into his body to the
amount of 1900 volts. This is 100 more
volts than are used in executions at the
prison. Quill seemed to enjoy it. He en-
dured this huge voltage for fully n minute
During that time his assistant touched va
rious parts of his body with an alcohol
soaked handkerchief, which Immediately
burst into flames.
Quill asserts that electricity will not kill
unless it burns, and he explains his i'm
munity by the fact that his body contains
an unusual amount of carbon. He played
with electricity as though it were the most
harmless thing in the world. With 1896
volts sizzling into pne hand, he would light
a candle, or set aglow an incandescent light
with the other. He applied a piece of car
bon, held between his teeth, to a similar
piece attached to another wire and sup
piled a perfect arc light. He drew forth
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-03

a current of such intensity with one finger
that he lighted a cigarette from the heat.
Quill said he first came in contact with
a voltage of electricity in San Francisco,
when he was employed by the gas and cleo
trio light company. He got too close to
one of the dynamos and a "shunt-off" of
$500 volts entered his body.
Although apparently dead he said, 81
was conscious through 1t all. I could
neither move nor cry out. 1t seemed as
though 1 was tied between two dynomos
with the current flowing through my body
and burning ms up, and l was powerless
to help myself. When 1 was revived 1 felt
no i'll affects"
Quill has offered to go to Sing Sing and
make a test. He says that when a man is
electrocuted he is only in a comatose state
and that death comes when the autopsy is
held.
A peculiar effect Quill attributes to cleo
tricity is the extreme lassitude it creates.
After a shock he loses from two to three
pounds. The electric chair feat he would
not undertake oftener than once a week.

Blindness Comes
for Few Hours
Total Loss of Sight Afflicts F. L.
Chiverton Suddenly, Then
Going Away.

ITS no fun to be blind" declares F. L
Chiverton. an artist living at sol South
Twenty-eighth street And he is qualified
to speak. for although he enjoys the full
powers Of sight, he was totally blind for
three hours Wednesday evening while at
home.
Both the loss OF sight and its restoration
a few hours later. following a period of
greatest anguish over being deprived of
one of his most valued senses. were most
sudden. While sitting in a chair he unex-
p~ectedly found himself in complete dark
ness. which continued until his power Of
vision was as suddenly restored to him
three hours later. Mr.. Chiverton can offer
no explanation of the remarkable exper-
fence. but will be satisfied If it does not
recur.

HOW TO USE A LITTLE GROUND
Bit Of Back Yard Can BE Made
Attractive and Wonderfully
Productive.

A space twenty by fifty feet may, under
intensive culture, be made to yield fresh
vegetables for a small family through half
the year. With forty feet by fifty, or fifty
by 100, there can be a garden spelling riot
Gus plenty.
Have the spading done as early as pos
sible, use thoroughly rotted manure, and
supplement it with good commercial ferti-
llzer, either broadcasted and raked in or
put in hills or drills.
1t is a waste of seed, strength and time
to plant a garden in poor soil. The seed
will come up, the splindling plants will be
harder to work than if they were luxuriant,
and the resultant crop will be mostly
conspicuous by its absence. So, il it be
impossible to do more, make small rich
beds, four feet wide and as long as the
manure holds out, and SOW them cross

way to the coast. I got a vessel bound
for England. Years thereafter. while lee
turing in the provinces of that country, a
note was brought to me from a man who
requested an audience. The request was
granted. The man conducted me In silence
to his home, on the walls Of which I dis
covered a picture of the very vessel on
which 1 had been abducted many years
before.
The man acknowledged that he had been
the captain of that vessel. He said he had
repented of his many sins, that the voyage
had been his last one, and that he, too,
had been delivered. This is the story OF
my deliverance. 1t is a strange story,
but 1t is a true one"

audience the tattooed cross upon his arm
