TELLS OF SENSATION
Cleveland Man Finds it Pleasant
But Painful to Revive
Recently a man who is known as
Harry Tonis, of Cleveland, Ohio,
stept on a 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, a 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 a jolt in the back
of my head. It seemed as if milli
ons needles and pins were shot thru
me. Then suddenly everything was
a blank.
"When I was coming to life I
could hear before I could see.
There was a 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. I was hot;
my left foot seemed on fire. I
knew nothing but pains, and then
gradually I could see.”

SEVENTEEN DIVERS GET IN.
BRITISH NETS
Reported One German .Commander
Shot His Crew a«d Himself
NEW YORK, Feb.15.—Dr. M. S.
Inglish, a Canadian army surgeon,
who arrived today on the anchor
line Cameroria from Liverpool, de
clared that he had knowledge of
the capture in the British nets of
seventeen German submarines. He
told how the crew of one of them
had been found shot to death after
it had been towed ashore. Dr. In
glis said he had been allowed to
descend in this submarine and had
seen the bodies.
‘To save them from death by suf
focation,” he said, “the commander
had shot all his men and then kill
ed himself apparently.
Dr. Inglis added that the British
are now making use of glass-bottom
boats with more or less success in
scouting for submarines in con
junction with a hydroplane fleet.

GIRL LEPER YEARNS
FOR ISLAND HOME
SECAUCUS, N. J. Feb.15.—The
piteous Asiatic cry, "Unclean! Un
clean!” may echo over the ocean,
when at dusk, Magdelena McLean,
leper, is released to take a stroll—
alone.
Isolated in the Hudson County Hos
pital for Contagious Diseases here
this seventeen-year-old West Indian
girl is steeling herself for a life
every day of which, physicians say
must be passed in seclusion.
Leprosy marked the girl when
as a child she played on Barbadoes
Island. Soon after her parents
moved to Jersey City, several years
ago, a rash appeared upon her body,
but not until she was taken to the
Skin and Cancer Hospital of New
York, three years ago was her dis
ease diagnosed as leprosy. The au
thorities decided to move her to an
isolated ward in the institution here.
Not till then was the girl told
she was a leper.
Seventeen years old now and made
more serious and mature than girls
of her age by years of seclusion
with her books, there is still the In
dian beauty about her, altho her
face is pa rtly disfigured and her
hands spotted.
“My only worry,” she said, “is
about my people. They must have
known all along that 1 was a leper,
for they have always been sad about
me, mamma especially. When they
took me away, even papa cried.
When I was first shut up in my
littleroom at home I wondered why
I could not play with my little
friends, but I got used' to it. I
suppose I’ll get used to this,too.”

SHIP BRAKE PROVES
INTERESTING SURPRISE
(From the P.-I.)
The first of a series of practical
tests of the Hyde automatic ship
brake were made on the bay with
the tug Hesperus equipped with
the invention.
The demonstration proved the ef
ficiency of the apparatus bejtond a
doubt and was an interesting sur
prise to a party of steamship mast
ers who made a trip in the harbor
aboard the Hesperus.
I During the tests the tug while
' going at a speed of eight knots an
hour was stopped within a distance
of ten feet. Capt. James Lousn
berry, a former member of the
Unitted States transport service,
and a number of other mariners
who were aboard the Hesperus for
get to hold onto something solid
and when the tug came to a sud
den stop from an eight knot clip,
were sent sprawling on tlje deck
of the vessel.
The Hyde ship brake consists of
steel plates attached to the bottom
of a vessel in such a manner that
they can be opened outwards, giv
ing the craft great resistance in
*j;e water.
