 SAN FRANCIsCo, March S-The fire 3 queucy of train robberies has influenced D the Southern Pacific officials to devise }, a remedy. By plan to which railroad Q men are now giving their attention, tht
 express and mail cars are provided with l. opposite side openings, into which art @ fitted rectangular frames, somewhat like ,- large shall " box, opening in wardIy tC
 the car. These sections rest upon suit
 able floor strips, snG are provided with Il rack bars and plnion gear. They art l. nominally draw inward so that the a outward face IS flush with the side of o the car, and does not present any un-
 usual appearance. When the train i: = stopped and the robbers parade aloI il ish he s bullet proof sections slide out like 6
 square bay window. Small loor o holes are provided, and the messenger ie thus afforded flankiDg fire the entire l. length of the train The loopholes art e protected by steel plates, pivotally at
 5anhed, which can be turned to cover
 the orifice, until the messenger is read, h to snuff out another roober.
 6 The sect 'ons are also provided witt :, 1 searchlights, which will illuminate thu ; entire length of the train and the sur d rounding land. Ire device, it is claim e ed, will also prevent the robbe rs from s pursuing pan which has found much
 favor with them in the past. It has beer

 press car with dynamite or other means
 As the sliding sections permit the mess engers to have fI'll view O. the tralu, he e could readily pick of the thieves from 8 his secure position before they could be
 able to attach bomb to the rear dool
 or make any progress in their efforts tc 2 fOrre an entrance.

 A week or so after the miser's death ] when all the neighborhood was pros 3 uecting hIs humble estate for the hid

 man himself came from within, ano
 with B finger on his lips to command silence, whispered, Follow me; I will g reveal to you my secret treasure house: 9 but you must not disclose it." Then he led the curious peighbor a way through the garden and into sr
