A Safe Lock.--A new invention called the
needle latch, or patent unpIckable lock- has
Just been introduced in England. The following
description of it is from the Engineer lit is
simple in its construction, as it is composed oil
neither more nor less than steel wires--calI
them needles If you like-stIung together on
two stumps, attache to the running bolt, upon
which they revolye, and they require 10 be lifted
by tie key to position TO admit of their being
passed through certain holes in plate of brass,
and thus passing carry the running bolt with
them, which carries the real bolt. The needles
move obhquely, perpendicularly, laterally, and,
indeed in any direction; hence the difficulty in
raising all the needles with an instrument stimuli
taneously TO their required positions to run
through their own apertures and escape the
many traps set Tor them in the shape of num-
ber of holes pierced nearly half way through
the fence plate OF the exact size to tit the
needles. In the more expensive latches-as we
have only been describing the cheapest ones
there are protectors and detectors."
Treasure Trove-An interesting discovery OF
silver coins was made. at Stamford, England,
last month. A laboref named john CHRISTIAN
was eXcavating for sanitary purposes at the
back OF house occupied by Mr.. Wyles,
builder, IL st. Georges Square, when his spade
struck upon an earthen jar, which proved to
contain two thousand elgLt hundred silver
coins, chiefly Anglo-Callic groRts OF Henry V,
coined at Calais, and English groats of Edward
~, of the London Mint There were also a
few haltgroats of Edward III. The whole are
in fine state of preservation, many being
almost as bright as on the day they were issued.
The jar was found at depth of only about a
foot from the surface, and not more than six
inches from the foundation of the house. IL is
probable that the site was formerly included in
! 81. Georges churchyard, and that the coins
were buried when the Lancasterans invaded
Stamford during the Wars of the Roses.
