Many efforts have been made TO de-
sign a burglar proof safe that was really
burglar-pr0of, and it seems that at last
one has been secured. The great diff
ficulty heretofore has been with the
square doors which, owing to their eX-
panSion and contraction with the
changes of temperature, could not be
made tight, and it was very simple
matter for a burglar to pour glycerlne
in around the door and blow II OH,
only a very small charge being neces-
sary. However, it is now proposed to
use a round door, which has the form OF
a huge screw, and which is screwed into
its place, This makes it impossible Tor
the burglar to get any explosive In
around the door. However, should he
succeed in getting in small charge
the door could not be blown of because
of its screw form, which is infinitely
stronger than the square form. ii Is
said that no safe Of this class has eyer
been opened in the many tests when
have taken place, while all OF the
standard" makes have been opened
many times. The screw door safes are
being introduced into this State by the
Globe Contract Company, of Wheeling.
