It was commented, it alive Collins had probably moved when thai light went out thus shaking the filament.

On the other 'hand It was pointed out that other nolaes might have caused the aounds in the head sets. Thus, nothing was determined.1 The work on the new shaft was begun yesterday and early to day a hole ten feet deep had been made. The work waa slowed up by the necessity of timbering the shaft as It is deepened. It is estimated Collins is lying 65 feet below the surface. Estimates as to the time It will take to sink the shaft vary from 24 to 7ii hours; Modern apparatus Is replacing the primitive means previously used.

The new opening Is expected to reach the natural passage some 18 feet behind Collins. In this way workers hope to enter the shaft on the side of the rock which is holding Collins; That the electric light bulb, placed about Collins' neck Wednesday, still is burning was taken as Indication that the cave In had not reached the prisoner's head.

The test, made by a small radio amplifying set, determined definitely that the electric light placed around Colllna neck by William Burke Miller, reporterTor the Courier Journal, Louisville, on one of his numerous trips to Collins' side In the cave stilt burned. A lighting sys tem battery was used In conjunction with the amplifier.

The wires which lead, from out side the cave 50 feet inside' the tomb to Collins, were taken quickly from the battery and switched to the radio amplifier. This caused the light to. go out, the' experiment ers said, and at'the same time per mitted them to listen for. sounds from the cave explorer. They and they heard, they said.

F.I0RITZ By HIRAM KKIAY MODEllWELJj Hpivial to Ilarriiburg Tthofdlfh, and Vhlvugo Daily Newt. St. Morlts, 6. Skiing behind a flying airplane will be attempted as the result of trials which were made here on Monday by three daring skUers behind a plane running on the ground. The stunT was organised by Jack Dowman, assistant secretary of the Cresta Club, who persuaded Prince Odewcalchl and Lord Nor thesk (the husband of Jessica Brown, formerly of the Follies) to risk their necks with him.

The plune will be piloted by Leslie Hamilton. The daring men sklled the length of the lake, 600 holding on to a rope attached to a plane which attained a speed of sixty miles an hour, while the plane kicked up snow like a blizzard. "The sensation was like trying to stand up against a sixty mile per hour snowstorm, with the ground reeling beneath you," said Dowman after the experiment. "Heaven only knows whiu it will be like behind a flying plane." Team racing behind flying planes is considered a possibility of the future. Copyright, 19? by the Chicago Daily ylnewt Vumpany.
