"The grave signar' is wiiat the inventor calis a patented aft'air just offered in the mortuary market It ts designed to enable a man or woman buried alive, as in a state of catalepsy, to notify people above ground. The signal is in a tube íitted with air valves. The slightest revival of life in the grave, it is claimed, will be instantly Indicated. The stage cxhiliitions work very well, but undertakers are obtrusiítely skeptical. The contrivance has never been vinriicated in the case oí any actual burial of a live yerson. The inventor accounts for the opposition ol undertakers by saying tha.t his signal will revolutionize inhumaron and will p,it an end to the practico of ew.r.almiiig. A new cemetery, to la Iocaiod up tlie Huclson and to be calle! the Valley oí Jehosaphat, may be esiablished in order to give the grave signal a fair tost.
