Norman Douglas Ellis remained unconscious for nearly a week, and for eleven months was under hospital and sur- gical care. Now the switchman at the Strachan Avenue Hydro-Electric Station, he was employed as station operator at Eugenia Falls station when the accident occurred. Head Touahed Cable. The moment his head came in con- tact with the cable which carried the current direct from the generators there was a flash of flame, and El- lis remained suspended in midair, burned and unconscious. The shock deprived 28 towns on the Eugenia Falls system of power. Fellow-employees pried the appar- ently dead man loose, and immedi- ately artificial respiration was com- menced. A doctor waa called and pronounced him dead. But, hi* res- cuers, true to their training did not stop their resusciation efforts until the stiffening of the body would give final proof of death. .After three-quarters of an hour Ellis re- sumed breathing. The current burned nearly all the flesh from his scalp and fractured the skull. For a time he was par- alyzed, and then gangerene set in. Finally the doctors removed pract^ ically the entire skull without the patient being under an anaesthetic, and fitted a bakelite cap under a heavj' wig, which protects the brain cells where the skull bone was re- moved.

It is accomplished by cementing two pieces of glass together v/ith a sheet of celluloid in the centre. Done under high temperature the celluloid is ab- sorbed by the glass and the trans- parency is iust as perfect as in any good sheet of glass. Impact will crack this glass but the weight of the blow must be very heavy to make a ho'o in it. A hammer may be used to strike a heavy blow which will shoot cracks in all directions, but there is no fall- ing apart of glass and what the or- dinary observer canrk)t understand is that the cracks in the glass do not appear to be on the surface to the touch. One may rub a finger o\ cr , ^ them and even run the end of a finger | ^ nail across them without Istrikin^ j W at;y obstacle such as is felt in the or- i s dinary shattered piece of glass.
