 Physicians believe the crisis has passed. The bullet which he fired Tn an attempt to commit suicide is still lodged in his skull

Washington March 4.-Scenes sugges- five of golden days on the college cam ms at the final day of commencement found their reflection in the House of Representatives of Congress just before the dawn of gray began stalking into the capitol this morning.
 The House abandoned all rules to let some golden-voiced tenor or bass, or whatever he might have designated ms vocal range, sing 'Massas in the Cold, Cold Ground" "Suwanee River" or some old-time musical favorite, and generally when a song burst forth every solon m the floor tried to work his voice into the melody.
 Despite this gayety the scenes were marked by the undertone of sadness that comes of partings. Grim old 'lame ducks' were haled forth from cloak rooms to sing their "swan songs" Joseph Gurney Cannon, facing his last day as tower ing official, greeted the dawn with sprightliness that might have shamed many younger solons, snoozing in some secluded corner of the cloak room

The mine rescue car of the Bureau of Mines which has been in this district some time, engaged in the work of teach ing miners and others how to render im- mediate aid to the injured or gas-affected mine workmen, has attracted a great deal of attention all over this state, especially at those places where the car has stopped, In order to allow pr. J. J. Rutledge, en- gineer in charge, to deliver his lectures.
 The car was at the Louisville and Nashville station practically all day Tuesday. It was visited by large num- Der of experts of the Birmingham indus trial district, who were deeply interested in the equipment contained aboard. The

These electric lamps are gas proof and are charged from an electric current.
 "The car also carries number of fire cxtinguishers and hose for fighting mine fires. The helmets have given excellent results in such work.
 "One of the most interesting things on the car is a collapsble cage, which is intended for use at mine disasters where the opening is a shaft one and the hoist ing apparatus has been destroyed by the force of the explosion. This collapsible cage is made wholly of steel and weighs

 It was pointed out to several visitors that the rescuers have resuscitated per sons even after the lungs had stopped their functions. And all the rescue men want to get a man safely back from the jaw of death is for the heart to be beat ing a trife.
