Henry Ill. granted her a pardon.
another instance of the kind occurred
al oxford in 1850. when Anna Green,
servant girl hanged for child
murder. revived when handed over to
the doctors. Eager inquiries were
made Of her as To her sensations after
suspension, but she remembered moth

awakening from a deep sleep.

A very ingenious attempt Ia cheat

Richard Johnson, who was hanged AZ

hangman thought he detected some

Perhaps the most startling story
about resuscitation after hanging is
told of the famous anatomist William

THE STRAIN A RAIL BEARS.
Enormous Tension Required to Resist
 Pounding of Locomotive.

Have you any idea of the strain to which a steel rail Is subjected today? Let us consider one for a moment, in the time of it's greatest torture, and see The Cannon Ball express is coming. It is drawn by two engines. The largest weighs one hundred tons-seventy- seven tons of the weight are carried on the six driving wheels, which means almost thirteen tons to a wheel. Thir- teen tons of weight upon each wheel! That means thirteen tons of weight impinging for flying instant upon a rail surface perhaps no more than an inch square and then moving forward all the time a succession of whirling blows from 13-ton hammer.
 If the train is going thirty miles an hour an imaginary square inch has only one five hundred and twenty eighth part of a second in which to receive the blow, vince under it, dis tribute the terrible force of it through it's elastic elements to the surround ing mass of the rail brace itself to help distribute stresses that are being set up on adjacent surfaces and zigzag- ging back and forth in all sorts of ways through the content of the rail, and then almost instantly lift it's de- voted head to receive the blow of the next driving wheel. If the train is go- ing sixty miles an hour instead of thirty, this all has to be received, with
