n the middle ages locks for church
and cathedral doors were often rare specl
mems of art metal work Elaborate
scrolls, the images of saints, and other
ambitious efforts of the true artisan Of
those days, entered into the design Of
locks which were really an ornament TO
the magnificent doors and cabinets Of
those times. A design for the escutcheon
surrounding the kcyholc frequently had
two guardian angels with the figures Of
outspread wings.
Locks of very curious construction
known as "Apostle locks, y were also
common in medieval times. These locks
had on the front the figure of one OF the
apostles, and on touching the hand Of
the figure the bolt flew back. In the
reign of Queen Elizabeth one Mark
Scalist, smith, constructed a lock con-
sisting Of eleven pieces of iron, steel and
brass. all Of which. with pipe key
weighed only two graius of gold. The
great inventor, the Marquis of Worces
ter, who fourished in the reign of King
Charles l., devised lock containing
steel barb. which was perfectly Harmless.
so long as the right key was used, but u
wrong key was inserted the barb
sprang through the keyhole, and 'caught
the hand of the intruder as trap catches
fox. It is said that while the inventor
was experimenting with this curious lock
he was scarcely nimble enough in remoV-
ing his hand, and was caught in his own
trap.
At WiIlenhall. in Staffordshire. which
is the great seat Of the lock trade, silver
padIocks the side of which are much
smaller than three penny piece are stu
made, and are quite perfect In theirmecA
aEism. Locks containing single bells
and even chimes, which sound an alarm
when tempered with by false key, ere
among the modern cujosities Of INC
trade. Common padlocks are Largely
made for the natives Of India and Aines
at Walsali A lock and key compieIs
are sold by the maker for half penn,
and merchants abroad state that many q
the native string these locks together =
as to form necklets. and wear them >

Recent sonndings over the bed of the
Atlantic ocean prove the existence Of
suuken ridge often less than 1000
fathoms from the surface. while on either

of mountains, varying from 1900 to l5,.
900 feet IN height. The higher points
of the sunken ridge now form the Azorc
islands.
In recent experiences, the images Of
