RINGING FROM GRAVE.

Device Against Living Burial.

To have attended 30,000 funerals is the record of Mr. John C. B. Shepherd, who has just attained his jubilee with firm of Chester undertakers. Mr. Shepherd undertook the burial of an electrician in a cof- fin constructed of match-boxes. This novel receptacle had been made by the electrician himself, and had been kept under his bed for many years. The same electrician invented an electri- cal device to ensure against the possibility of anyone being buried while in a trance. The inventor claimed that his de- vice enabled anyone buried alive to set an electric bell ring- ing on the top of the grave by pressing a button inside the coffin.
