He hung there anoul four minutes, flames shooting about his hands, when they burned to tho elbows and he dropped to the platform of the station below. Passengers quickly picked up the lad and carried him Into the waiting room and summoned an ambulance from Fordhom hospital. Dr. Berlin rushed him to that hospital in a seri ous condition.
