' a lewr Count Karniee fnaut to ' weeks airo aiid presented his invention to the city authorities, lliere is no inr dieatinu that his hope of secJng it introduced into actual- use in the of the FrencJi wiil ever be realized; but the newspapers have found a fresh, thougfh gluistiy, bit of news in the incident. In the Karniee system of interment it is proposed to provide the coffin with a small circular opening in the top, just above the chest of its occupant. A metal lid is kept in place over this hole by means of a spring-- At the cemetery, ju.st before throwing- earth into tho an undertaker's assistant raises the lid nnd adjusts to the opening in the cuilin the lower end of an upright tube, which terminates at the level of the earth above in a tightly closed box. There protrudes through the tube below a small glass bulb which just touches tlie breast of the inclosed body. If, now, the latter should make any movement, as iu respiration, a alight pressure would be exerted upon tho bulb, nnd this contact would immediately produce several results at the eur-f- a . e of A spring would be released which would throw the cover of the box open, thus admitting nir and light to the tube. At tlie same time a loud electric gong would be set rining, a email llagsteft would be lifted from a horizontal to a vertical position, and an electric light would be turned on. Some of these signals would, of course, attract attention, whether they be put in operation by day or by night; and the presumption is th.it for a fortnight a special w atch would be maintained. Count Karniee is i n tifTied that, if any signs of life are to be afforded, they will certainly appear within 15 days. If, therefore, at the end of that time nothing has happened, he, would have the tube and other apparatus withdrawn from the grave. The metal cover would then automatically close over the opening in the coffin, and burial would become final. A journalistic advocate of the adoption by the city of Paris of this scheme his computed the probable cost. One piece of apparatus, he says, would cost about eight dollars. The average number of burials per day is 200, and in 15 days would nmount to about 3,000. Inns much as the device can be used over and over again, after withdrawal from a grave, it would be necessary to provide only .1,01)0 altogether, and those would cost S24.0O0. By assessing the families for whose benefit the invention was employed, however, the expense would soon be offset completely. Still, if a solitary rescue should be effected in consequence of the use of this apparatus at any time within the first few months no doubt the public would consider the outlay fully justified, even if there were no reimbursement. Hut ns yet rnris does not evince faith in the necessity for employing any such prelitiN-sia- ecm-c-teri- . caution. . : , ..
