THIEF-PROOF SAFE Makers of Stronghoxes Thwart Modern Cracksmen. ’rogress ‘of Metallurgical Science Has Been Most Rapid and the Up-to-Date Burglar Has Difficult Task. Those who have valuables deposited lor safe custody with their bankers lo not doubt that they are secure inleed. They do not realize that the rontinuance of this security involves X never-ending battle of minds bes Ween strong-room and safe manufacaarers and scientific cracksmen. Many modern burglars acquired experience of different explosives during the war that has aided them enormously. Before a new method of sesurity has been long in use, some clevgr criminal will find a way to defeat it, and it is thereby rendered obsolete. = ;

~ The ‘time has passed since wmafemakers produced anything they considered absolutely burglar-proof. Theéir aim nowadays is to produce a safe or strong room calculated to liold out against attack for a given length of time. , ‘

The longest period that a bank safe, filled with money and clients’ valuables, can be left without being visited 18 that from close of business at the end of the week until Monday morning, or something over forty hours: i : ’

If it is absolutely impossible to force an entrance into the safe in that time, plus a good margin f{or safety, the makers’ object will have been attained. S i -

The successor to the key lock is the combination keyless lock, which possesses none of the former’s disadvantages. The . combination can. be changed as often as desired, and the lock set so that two or more people, each with his own secret combination, are necessary to operate it. Time locks are also frequently used, though less In this country than in Great Britain. By means of these a safe can be set to Keep shut for a definite period of time; during which even 'possession of the combination will fall to effect an entrance. - The modern safe door has a slab of manganese steel, at least two inches thick, as a first line of defense. This offers considerable opposition to liquid explosives and the oxyhydrogen blow-pipe, the principal equipment. of the up-to-date burglar. Behind this are successive layers of force-resisting materials, which are calculated to blunt the strongest tools and delay the intruder, if not actually defeat him. "

The progress of metadlurgical science has been most rapid, and as each new method of attack Is revealed it is ‘promptly . counteracted and rendered useless. .

Those of the public who put their trust in locks, bolts, and bars can rest assured that everything is done by safe-makers /‘to 'Justify their confldence.—London: Tit-Bits.

A Tailor Bird Is Peculiar. The tailor bird, an East Indian warbler, is peculiar malnly in his nest making. The actual structure of his ingenious cradle has never been scientifically observed, it is said, although tailor birds are common. He either sews a dead leaf to a living one, or joins two neighboring leaves together so as to form a kind of hanging pouch, which remains attached to the branch by the leaf stalk of one or both leaves. The threads which the tailor bird uses consist generally of twisted vegetable fibers or of actual cotton threads, the bill serving for a needle in.puncturing holes in the leaves and in drawing the thread through. Occasionally, if a large enough leaf be found, the nest may be formed by joining together the free edges of the leaf.=The lower part of the pouch contains the nest, which is a cup of soft materials, and lis entered from above—Wide World Magazine. e a ' . From Newsboy to Parllament. While his father lay ill‘and unable to work, little Richard Fairbairn went out and sold newspapers at the Lud‘gate Hill railroad station; in the city of London. Later he hit upon employment in the distributing office of a London publication., His father recovered health, and became secretary of the Lightermen and Watermen’s union, and the youngster assisted his father, taking part in debates when sixteen years old. - Improving as he went along, Richard became manager of tramways in London, and after a time at Worcester. Here the townspeople admired his eloquence and his honesty ‘of purpose to such an extent that today the member of parliament for that borough is Richard Fairbairn.
