AMERICAN MEcHaNlsM.-A few nights since,
the doors and vaults of an eminent business
firm at Jersey City were opened by skllul burglars
and some $4,000 in cash carried Oft so adroltiy
that no trace of the villains or plumber has been
obtained The money guarded by the best
and most costly English locks, which proved Ut
tery inefficient, the burglars being probably well
acquainted with their pecullarltics by long expe-
rienco before they set out on their travels. Since
the robbery, the firm despoiled have thrown aside
their English locks, and fortified themselves
throughout with the Check and Spring Tumbler
Locks Of Mr. H. c. JoNEs, Of Newark, n. j.,
which, had they been feaeonably applied, would
undoubtedly have saved their money, us these
Locks have never been picked or opened with
any thing but the proper key of each. The most
adroit burglars in the Massachusetts, State Prison
worked week upon one, and were obliged to give
up in despair and no effort Of ingenuity or rivalry
has sutficed to make it false to its trust. We
believe this can be said of nc other Lock what
ever.
We have examined, carefully and minutely,
the several Locks Of Mr. Jones-hls Bank or
Vault Lock, his Paddock, his Mail Lock, and his
| Trunk Lock-and can conceive nothing more
perfect Oh InclI sPVGidl Minus IiuLh oCCliiS oC-
vond the skill Of knavcry. No common burglar
can pet an instrument into them, to begin with ;
and, if SO far successful, his work is hardly be-
gun. Even if he has time and skill to make
key which will turn all the wards and checks of
the Bank Lock, still the bolt stands firm, and
will bulge for nothing but the key. We have
seen this master Lock taken apart and explained
piece by piece, and morally certain it has
no Superior. Mr.. Jones has the most emphatic
certificates Of It's unequalcd value from great
number of Locksmiths Prison keepers, Brokers
and Banks-some of the latter having thrown
aside Foreign Locks costing 800 to substitute
| his Padlocks costing S25. A few Of these let
tiers, of which we have seen the or gnals, will be
found IN another column.
