overdrawn. The elevator was carry
ing a $500 pound safe, but was de-
scending at normal speed The opera
tor did not guage his brake properly,
perhaps, and the elevator went below
the main floor. maybe a foot and a
half. but II did not get away from
the elevator mans control: in fact
it could not nor did it hit the bottom
with a damaging thud. II was quick
ly raised to the floor and the safe
was removed without damage either
to the elevator or the safe. The fact
that the car was carrying an addi-
tional weight OF $500 pounds is the
best and most conclusive proof OF the
elevators safety"

BURIED ALIVE FORTY DAYS.
Queer Test a Hindu Fakir Is Said to
Have Survived.

DR.. KOnigberger, a physician in the
Punjab, doubling the frequently re-
peated stories Of the Hindu fakirs who
claimed to be able to sustain life for a
considerable time after burial In the
earth by the process known as ''swal-
LOWING the tongue" determined to
make the most rigid tests and exclude
all possible fraud.
One Of these Brahman fskirs allowed
himself to be buried by the doctor and
his suspicious colleagues in a well
fastened and scale vault. The burial
lasted such long time-for forty days
that some corn planted upon the soil
above the vault sprouted before The
unhappy fellow was released. Then
the Hindu was freed, subjected by the
doctor TO restOratives and lived happily
ever afterward
Sir Henry Lawrence, an English sci
enlist who assisted the German savant,
substsntiated the account. The chest
in which the fakir was buried was
firmly sealed, and when the fellow was
brought out he was cold and apparent
iy lfeless.
