Russian Count Hatches Alarm Device Against Premature Burial
Count Karnici Karnici, a Russian chamberlain, devised an iron hermetically sealed tomb box that rests atop the grave connected by a tube to a glass ball in the coffin. Any movement or breathing lifts the lid, raises a flag, and rings an alarm with lamp light, allowing air and a speaking tube to aid the entombed person until rescue. The inventor claims 14 to 21 days suffices as a remedy for premature burial.
