DEAD FOR ONE HOUR AND N
 TELLS OF SENSATION
Cleveland Man Finds it Pleasant
 But Painful to Revive

Recently man who is known as Harry Tonis, of Cleveland, Ohio, stept on live wire and presumably, was was killed. After all efforts to revive him had failed and after an hour had expired, his pulse had ceased to beat and likewise respi- ration, pulmotor was applied and brought to life again. After he had recovered consciousness, he gave out the sensation he experienced in the following:
 Dying was quick and without pain. Coming back to life was slow and painful. When I stept on the wire it was like jolt in the back of my head. It seemed as if milli- ons needles and pins were shot thru me. Then suddenly everything was blank.
 "When I was coming to life I could hear before I could see. There was sound like rushing water and a heavy wind.
 "The sounds swished back and forth for what seemed ages, and I couldn't drive them away. Then came the realization of pain Again that pricking as of millions of needles in my flesh. was hot; my left foot seemed on fire. I knew nothing but pains, and then gradually could see."

Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Massachusetts,,

serted that Southern states were profit

Having deliberately cut down the
tariff. not only 20 carry out their free
trade principles but with the purpose

tinued, they then framed their direct
taxes in such a way as TO take nearly

Senator Lodge said that Of the lOO,-
600 National Guardsmen at the border
on July 81. the Southern states sent
1000 men from Virginia, 500 from
Louisiana, and from Texas 5000. The

AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
 TO BE INAUGURATED
Government Asks for Bids for Sever Routes in Alaska and One in
 Massachusetts

Washington, Feb. 12-Aerial mail service to isolated points in Alaska and Massachusetts is contemplated by the post office department. Bids were asked today for service on eight routes, seven of them in Alaska. Oc- tober 1 is named as the date for start ing.
 The routes will be established. the department announced, as much 10 stimulate development of aviation be- cause of it's relation to military pre- paredness as to improve the mail ser vice. The department believes that efforts already begun to finance an aerial patrol of the Atlantic coast indicate that ready capital will be found for the mail service undertak- ings.
 If the service is successful, it is announced, gradual expansion will follow to other routes where trans portation is slow and inadequate.
 The Massachusetts route is from New Bedford to Nantucket, 56 mile., and return, partly by land and partly by water. Trips will be made thir- teen times week during the sum mer months and six times in the winter An aeroplane would have to be able to carry a weight limit of three thousand pounds. The present cost of the service is $23,OOO a year.
 The Alaskan routes form a connect ing link from Seward to Nome, thence to Fairbanks and back to Val dez. Most of them call for a service twice a week through the year. On some of the routes the cost now is as high as $100,O00 a year. and in winter six weeks is required to make the trip. The aeroplane contracts all low two days for most of the trips.
