Space will be gained in one way by placing all the lavatories underground. The station is to be lighted through- out with the electric light —West- minster Gazette, ng uni right side have ines parcels ng by sixty wide EE — - To Prevent Burying Alive, The present talk about the danger of persons being buried alive has led a genius of St, Joseph, Mo., to invent and patent what he calls a “‘grave alarm.” In the coffin is placed a small electric battery, to which is attached an alarm, something like the contriv- | ance that is placed in clocks. The | alarm is fastened to the lid of the A strap is attached to it and to the hand of the corpse, so that the slightest movement will set the alarm in motion. A wire attached to the alarm runs up through the grave, up a pole and to the house of the sexton, wheto a battery and bell are attached. A slight movement in the coffin will start the alarm and ring the bell in the sexton’s house, and if a person has been buried alive the alarm in the sexton’s house notifies him of the fact at once. The inventor of the “grave alarm” has also provided an iron pipe to be used on the graves whore the at- tachment is to be set. The pipe will furnish enough fresh air to sustain life, and can be taken up when the friends of the deceased have become fully satisfied that death has really taken lacs. The device has been adopted for use in the Iowa cemetery, but so far it has not been put into operation by any of the corpses — Picayune, | SABBATH SCHOOL, INTERNATIONAL MARCH LESSON 25.
