Radio graphs of bodies taken even a few minutes after death reveal clearly the outlines of all the organs, whereas, if the radiographs are taken during life the organs are not revealed. At Pittsburg, Hubert Devan, a French-Canadian, recently announced the invention, now protected by pat ents, of a device which he calls a “grave signal.” The device consists of a piece of ordinary gaspipe, six feet long, with a glass globe about the size of an incandescent lamp on one end. The pipe is arranged to pass through a brass plate at the head of the cof fin, leaving the lower end within a fraction of an inch of the forehead of the corpse. Through the center of the pipe runs a plain, smooth stick, one end of which rests on the forehead of the body in the coffin; the other end is in the glass globe, with a red cloth attached, to It. Should the person come to life in the coffin and stir, the stick will be forced through the pipe and the red-cloth signal will be dis played. At the same time a number of small apertures will open at the base of the globe and fresh air will be forced down the pipe into the nos trils. HUSBAND DESERTION.
