After a sleep of 120 hours, extending from Monday night until Saturday night Frederick Keating hai made hid re ontry into the work-a day world apparently not a whit the worst for his prolonged spell of unconsciousness, During Saturday a trolly was employed to transport him and his caßket from the Exchange Hall to the Opera Houso, and on Saturday night the latter building was crowded with people, curious to see tbe end of the trance. From 8 until netrly 10 the usual programme was in full swiDg, 16 porsons having gono on tbe stage, to surrender themselves to mesmeriocontrol, Just beforo 10 o'clock Mr W. 0. Fitzgerald (chemist) made an examination of the still unconscious man, who apparently was exaotly in the same condition of body that he had been in at any time since the mes merist sent him into oblivion. At the appointed time Mr Kennedy snapped bit fingers over tho man's bead and called out, "All right." Initautlr Keating bounded up from bis recumbent position on to hi hands and knees, Another flick at the fiagers and another " All right " brought him to his f«et when, after knuckling bis eye;, ho gazed at the audience, round about the building and up at the ceiling in evident amazement His first words were , " Where am I ? I don't remember coming here at all." He was then informed he had been sleoping for six days, and had been moved that day from tho Exchange Hall At this intelligence he merely remarked, " Well, I know nothing about it.' 1 In answer to questions, ho said be felt perfectly well, was neither hungry □or thirsty and had no duubt he would bo able to sleep loundly tbat night. Mr Fitz ■ gorald made anothor examination and found tho rtfloinj of eyes and mmcles fully restored, the man's tongue presenting an entirely healthy and normal apper&nco, and his temperature only 100 degrees, whereas it was only 982 when he sank into ucconscious neas on Monday night. Two hours up ia the heated Btmosphore of the il ; os of the Opera House account for the slight increase. The audience gave round after round of applause at the success of the experiment. Mr Kennedy will perform to-night at the Exchange Hall at usual, and Keating will be on the stage.— N. Z. Times.
