THE Locks IN THE TREASURY DEPART
,rxT---A STARTLING FACT DEVELOPED
an, or THEM Picked Washington, Au-
INST 22-An experiment made yesterday,
~ consent Of Treasury officials, developed
tic startling fact that there is not lock in
,hc Treasury Department which may not be
licked with comparative ease. Sometime
51ro Mr.. A. b. Muliet, the supervising archi-
ret. was informed by Mr.. James Sargent,
# Rochester, New York, that the combina-
ton locks adopted by the Government and
in general use, not only in the vaults at the
treasury building, but in those of the pub
u, buildings and banks throughout the
country, could he opened with case, without
;uiuring the locks or attracting attention,
and that he was ready at any time to prove
this assertion.
On Saturday Mr.. Sargent arrived here
end called upon Mr.. Mullct to give him an
illustration, not so much of his skill as q
1a,kpickcr as of the ease with which the
"unpickahlc locks " in the Treasury could
he opened. He commenced operations on
,Lc safe used by Mr.. Mullct, and in one
hour and seven minutes, and without any
noise, had the same access to the interior
Of the safe that Mr.. Mullet had with his
knowledge Of the combination TO which his
lock was set. General Spinner, the custo-
Nan OF the funds, was notified Of what had
Nrcn done. and FASTENED to the room Of Mr..
Nrllct, where Mr.. Sargent again gave him
proof Of the insecurity of the locks. 1t is
l,cncral Spinncr's custom to try every door
# the vaults and safes of his Office after
Office hours, and on Saturday, after Mr.. Sar-
cents experiment, he spent little extra
lime in examining the exterior mechanism
Of the different parts of the safe as he passed
from room to room. He will now have
every lock thoroughly examined, and efforts
will ut once be made to secure some sort of
a lock that will be burglar-proof.- GORE

Safety on Railroads.

The Philadelphia papers speak of an
experimental tria! at Trenton New Jersey
on Thursday, of an electric apparatus for
switches and drawbridges which has been
introduced by the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company as an additional surety
FOR the safety of their trains, and to pre-
vent careless or reckless neglect by their
employees to whom is entrusted the re-
sponsibie, even though humble. duty Of
managing the switches and turnouts. The
North American says an examination of
the means employed shows this new pro-
cess to be 30 simple that it surprises one
that it has not sooner been made use of.
Electricity il the controlling power which
indicates the condition of the track, and
this is done BY connecting the switch with
the signal, sufficiently distant to enable
the train to be stopped in ample time, no
matter how great the running speed, by a
magnetic current automatically regulating
the color-tokens. That is to say, when
ever the switch is properly fixed the cur
rent is complete, and the white flag or
light is shown, but by the slightest dis
placement either of the switch, rail itself
the key bolt. the breaking fths wire. or
any other incompleteDess. the circuit il
broken and the danger signal springs into
place. 1t may happen that the switch is
all right, but some accident interferes with
the working of the electrical apparatus, in
which case red is shown and the train 10
stopped-a delav of so little moment that
it is immaterial. To short the invention,
instead of accounting everything safe IN
til it is found to be otherwise, always
registers danger until safety is proved.
There can be no doubt of its efficiency, so
far as could be seen. and the demonstra-
ton Of its practical working was witnessed
by gentlemen ia every way competent to
judge of its utility. all of whom expressed
their satisfaction and approval. =.

EQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.

Reasons why every one should insure in the
Equality Life Insurance Company of Virginia.
First. 1t is more liberal 70 the insurers than
any other company, and will eventually become
purely mutual, and belong to the insurers.
Second. 1t circulates its money amongst its
patrons, who are the insurers. Consequently
they are contiuualiv getting the benefit of the
rapid accunulatons of the Company the money
being invested by the Board of Directors amongst
the insurers. Therefore the insurers are build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own, and
conducted for their benefit.
Third. The loans in this Company as liberal
as other companies, who declare dividcn dis at the
end of the second, third, and fourth years; but
this Company at the end of the first and every
year. Thereby the insurer saves several years
interest on his loans by insuring in this Company
and ne never looses his money if he ever pays up
for ONE WHOLE YEAR, whereas in other COM
panies he has to remain an insurer for several
years, OF he looses all the money he h;s paid.
Let the people of Virginia take plain, com
mon sense view Of the subjcct and see that it is
to their interest to keep the money here, where
they have no restrictions scarcely on their poll
cies, and can get the use of the money they have
been heretofore sending cut OF the State.
