Some Ancient Locks.


In discoursing Of locks and safes before

upon an interesting subject. 1t is curious
that in the wooden Egyptian locks Of re-
mote antiquity many germs are found Of
the essential features of good modern locks
In China, where few things change a WELL
defined Roman style Of paddock Is to this
DAY in almost universal use. but whether
the Chinese copied the Romans, or the no.
ton by some means found its way from
China to Rome. are questions 1t would
puzzle Beckmann to determine. The SIM
pie device of having the hollow stem or
pipe of a key open at each end so that dirt
or other obstruction could be pushed
through, is as old as the Roman empire
Nevertheless. hardly a year passes without
some en- thusiastic inventor rediScovering it
and offering to part with his idea for a
large money consideration Generally speak,
ing. 1t is at the commencement of the medi-
aeval period that We begin to find keys like
our own. The old puzzle paddock in it's i'm
proved form was, it appears, the work Of a
Frenchman named Regnier at the end Of
the last century. The famous Chubb lock,
invented and patented in 1918 by the lee

mechanism called a "detector," by means
Of which the owner could tell If any one had
